I just pegged the socks out.
I don’t care!
Would you look at the state of it.

Have you got a Labrador ghost in your garden?

FlamingoAndJohn · 09/05/2020 11:49

No. Just a small black cat.

Your OP title did warn me, tbf.

Thefaceofboe · 09/05/2020 11:52

Why aren’t the socks social distancing? Angry

OnlyToWin · 09/05/2020 11:54

You have a lovely selection of socks there, but you must hang them by the toe. It’s a well-known fact that spiders, bees and wasps will fly into them otherwise. It’s a basic health and safety precaution!

Mine are on a socktopus in pairs but not pegged by the toe. I am obviously a heathen too.

Also, all the pegs are deliberately mismatched for the other clothes. You'd all hate me.

Nobody pegs them by the toe!

That is a very lovely picture OP.

FourPlasticRings · 09/05/2020 11:58

I do feel that the Venn diagram of people who play doof doof doof music and the people who are upset by sock pegging is just two circle.

Well, unless you've got a third criterion, of course it's got two circles. Confused

HoneysuckIejasmine · 09/05/2020 12:00

By the toe, on a socktopus. In pairs! I even have a socktopus per person. And everyone has a side of the rotary each when I'm pegging out.

FlibbertyGiblets · 09/05/2020 12:00

I don't have a soxktopus. I have a Pegged Hanger from Lakeland. What a bore!

pegging by the toe makes me feel a bit ill!

TwentyViginti · 09/05/2020 12:01

Also, all the pegs are deliberately mismatched for the other clothes. You'd all hate me.

I don't hate you for that. I loathe matchy matchy anything, and deliberately mismatch my pegs too.

Nobody pegs them by the toe!

Oh yes we do! toepeggians rool ok.

LizzieMacQueen · 09/05/2020 12:01

Boden socks, OP?

ProudMarys · 09/05/2020 12:01

@Kpo58
I have 3! One for indoors two for outdoors 😂😂

Pascha · 09/05/2020 12:01

I think she means two separate circles rather than two overlapping ones. So doof doof and caring about sock pegs are mutually exclusive.

BestIsWest · 09/05/2020 12:01

Two circles which don’t interlock.

HoneysuckIejasmine · 09/05/2020 12:01

four she means no overlap.

The80sweregreat · 09/05/2020 12:03

It's fine! Someone i know has to use the same coloured pegs. Why? Sod that.

Mucklowe · 09/05/2020 12:04

My DH puts PAIRED socks in the washing machine. Paired, as in bunched together. Grounds for divorce, I'd say.

Lemonblast · 09/05/2020 12:05

We don’t even try to wear matching socks in this house anymore.
In fact it’s an event worth celebrating if someone finds a matching pair.

Nannewnannew · 09/05/2020 12:05

Hang on, that’s where my other striped sock went! Obviously prefers your house and garden to mine, mind you, I don’t blame it, you’ve got a lovely garden. 😍

AHintOfStyle · 09/05/2020 12:05

@Thighmageddon I agree!
