See, see!
Look! It’s so cool. Pile of socks, which before would involve looking closely at each one, checking the top, the sole, the shade just to try to match it. No I match the colours (and they still stand out from my gym socks). Then when they go back in the drawer I know what order to put them in so they all get worn in rotation and wear at the same rate. How cool is that?
And yes, I’m brutally aware that I need to get laid.
Personally, I go for the ones with days-of-week written on them.
Tomorrow, I’ll be wearing Thursday (L) and Sunday (R).
Maybe next week, I too will go on Operation Sock. For me, that’ll be the strange M&S food hall in Jubilee Place Shopping Centre, which sells food, flowers and socks… that’s about it.
LMAO
hehehe. I do like different sock and at present am wearing drey, pink and white stripes. My sister wears odd socks everyday and i just dont get that. It makes me feel a little sick if my socks are odd.
I realised that i put the baby in odd socks the other day. They were both white but odd. I had to change them. lol
Yes i am very aware that i need to get laid to!
Previously all my socks were supposed to be black (altough some were bordering on grey due to age and some were actually very very very very dark blue which was seriously annoying). I hated it if I didn’t think the socks matched. You’ll notice my wardrobe features a lot of black.
Dom .. just noted your comment on Goron’s post .. Will you marry me?
Of course
hummm I wear odd socks on purpose. It saves time looking for socks that match
But if they are correctly put away you don’t need to look for matching socks, you just grap the top two and they are a pair.
I make a point of buying the same colour and brand of sock whenever I require them. In theory I should never have to sort socks at all. In theory.
Everyone at the wedding will have to wear odd socks including the bride??!!
Hover, doesn’t work. If they don’t all get washed at the same rate some fade faster than others and you end up with socks that are impossible to pair.
I will be wearing matching socks. Are we doing the full on formal wedding?
Ahh, but a socks that fades faster than it’s pair will languish in the sock sack until the pair reaches a faded enough state to once again match. In theory.
My socks are always odd (well I acknowledge there is a statistical likelihood that some days they might not be). It’s not a conscious thing, I’ve just never been prepared to invest the energy in ensuring that they arent. Also, in my house the mystical process by which socks disappear is in fact a pair of labs, who like stealing them and leaving them outside, slightly chewed.
You want to train them not to do that. You also own red and green clothes that you wear for the winter solstice period so I don’t think you can comment sensibly on clothing
I’m not sure I can train my socks to not be odd.
They were just (Coca Cola) red, and I havent worn those for half a dozen years or so. Mostly because I cant.
Sock training. Now that’s an area that I would be interest in. There must be loadsa dosh in training socks for people. Anybody got the manual?
Sock training is easy, but you need to start from birth to ensure it takes.
[...] you feed my ego, justify my god complex and don’t half make me laugh sometimes (goron, you comment on day socks still makes me chuckle to this day) and I love you all for [...]
Ah yes, the mystery of socks, well I must admit my sock drawer and basket and bag for the lost and the loneley, quite regularily spawn some interesting individuals. Seriously, I truly believe they breed. Not so long ago I was rummaging to find a suitably matched pair only to discover a tiny and very pink sock with a little cow on it. I do not own a tiny pink sock with a cow on it and as I do not have any sprogs, I know they’re nothing to do with my household!! My socks have produced a single baby sock!!!!!! IN MY DRAWER!!!! Sock-fornications in MY Drawer!!! Seriously, be careful what you pair them up with!!
They’re all brothers and sisters so it’s ok. Although I might pair them in colour order
