JFF - Shoes

I think that might be the shoe of a frustrated mom. Kids fighting in the back seat. brother took sisters shoe. Mom yelling "don't make me pull this car over." Mom yanks shoe away and throws out the window in frustration.

I want to make a coffee table book of shoes along the highway... every time I see one I want to stop and take a picture and note where I found it!

Lol! I always wonder the same thing!! I picture a ticked off wife throwing all her husbands belongings out the window while driving! Whatever it is, it cant be good! :)

I see lots of kids shoes.
The kind that fall off easily.

@ Phyllis B.: It's my understanding that shoes tied together and tossed on a power line/whatnot is a sign put out by drug dealers.
And it seems to be true as we had a drug dealer living down from us and shoes on the line next to their house. :(

I never, ever think bad thoughts when I see it! I always think about the obnoxious teens in my family...who've been known to toss shoes just to aggravate a friend/family.....

LOL! Happens in Michigan too! It always makes me wonder and giggle.

I always thought, man, someone would have to be pretty drunk to lose a shoe!

ETA - funny Rachel - "Lost and Found, Shoes along the Highway"

this actually makes me worried. like did some one hit someone. did they kiddnapp some one. i know its crazy but the shoe on the road triggers my over reacting crazy thoughts. i totally understand its silly and irrational but i do! :D then i get annoyed with myself for being so crazy.

Ha! I saw a flip flop in the middle of the street last week!

More common in PA-- alleged "wildlife suicide days" where apparently, every form of wildlife charges the busy road on the same day, so there are dead raccoons, squirrels, rabbits and deer as far as the eye can see.....eeewwweeee!

I thought you were going to ask how many shoes do we all have, lol! (I have at least 75 pairs)

My husband told me about that shoes hanging indicates a drug house too..........why did our husbands have to tell us this?!

Haha, I have seen it in MN, WI and IL. I blame the same mischievious elves who sneak into my dryer and steal one sock from each load.

Oh, that's funny -- I notice them too!!

What always bugs me, too, is for years, I'd see a tied together pair of kid shoes hanging over a power line, above a certain street in St Louis. Now that I visit Waco, TX, all the time, I see a pair way up high too. Makes me nuts!
@Emily S -- thanks for clearing that up for me! It all makes sense now...

I always wonder about that lol
Have you ever been driving and see 1 or two shoes hanging from a phone line or power line??
My b/f taught me something interesting once.
He told me that a good amount of the time, those shoes, are there to indicate that there is a drug house near by. So a kinda sneaky way to tell others that you can buy drugs near by.

Okay this is serious:
But, a friend's grown son... was once driving down a street at night.
There was a shoe on the road and a little ways further, there was a kids mattress on the street.
So... he stopped, got out of his car to move the debris off the street... and then he was jumped on and beat up... and robbed.

So, the moral is: never stop to do things like this. For him, it was a trap.

Oh My Flippin' Gosh! I had no idea about the shoes over the power lines!!!!! I'm so innocent/ignorant! I have always wondered why someone would do that!
I have heard of kids on the bus or in the car throwing a siblings shoe out the window to annoy them, but throwin it in the street to cause someone to stop so they could beat them up!? I guess I really am ignorant! What the heck kind of society are we living in????? Jeez!
I'm so glad that I live in a very rural community instead of Atlanta, where I grew up. I hope that some of this violence never makes it here. (although, the shoes on the power lines brings to mind a house on the way to work. Hmmm)
