Rainy day, dirty feet

Today it was raining a lot around lunch time.  I went to the supermarket nearby to buy something to eat.  The footpaths here are made up of concrete tiles, but these are pooly installed.  Some of them appear to be simply laid on top of the ground, rather than being fixed with some sort of superglue.  The result is when you walk in the rain, every once in a while you'll happen to step on one of these loose tiles and squirt water on your other foot.

And of course, this is nothing like tap water.  It's very dirty water --not to mention the countless stray dogs shitting au naturel.  Today I happened to come to the office wearing sandals, so after so much splashing, now my feet are clearly very dirty.  I can see the sandal patterns on my feet!

I wonder if the guys in charge of building the footpath are proud of the quality of their work?  Perhaps they're not even smart enough to feel pride for a work well done?
