This week, I found myself breathlessly refreshing TikTok and Twitter — still not ready to call it X, sorry — for the latest updates in the saga of the Tabi Swiper.
The story goes like this:After a second date, a man named Josh went home with a woman named Alexis Dougé for the evening.
The following morning, after Josh left, Alexis discovered that her Tabi Mary-Janes — a pricey shoe from the brand Margiela with a polarizing cloven toe — were missing.
It didn’t take the internet hive mind long to identify Josh, who had just given his girlfriend a pair of the same shoes.
After a protracted public shaming, Josh came clean and gave Alexis her shoes back.
