AIB unreasonable about socks?

[CreamolaFoamless]

I seriously hate socks .

I believe they should be sold as 3's not pairs (one always goes awol)

Or all socks should be just one colour i.e black so there is always a pair

Socks are stupid

If one of my socks goes awol I just wear odd socks. Really doesn't bother me.

Yes but they keep your feet warm and stop your shoes from stinking (if you wear them without socks) I love socks

YABVU.

Socks are great! Especially thick woolly ones on a cold autumn day.

Well buy a pack of 3 or 6 pairs all black and divide them however you like.

Occasionally you have to sacrifice a sock to the God of the Washing Machine, but it's a small price to pay for warm feet. And if you're very very good occasionally the God of the Washing Machine gives them back.

YABU

you could always just buy loads of identical ones.

Noooooo Abcinthia

odd socks freak my out

How can people wear two socks then not put two socks in the washing basket.

It's not hard is it...they were on your feet , now take them off your feet and keep them together

I have an odd sock bag and it has 24 socks in it. Where are the others ones

"Or all socks should be just one colour i.e black so there is always a pair"

So just buy black socks.

Though it doesn't work all that well. They age differently so end up not well paired at all.

My husband steals my socks. My socks my socks MY SOCKS
I think he is making a nest out of them.

I just bought ds 6 new pairs. Into the wash as he is 5 months with sensitive skin. He has not even worn them. Only 3 full pairs have come out of wash. One pair missing completely!! Seriously. How is this possible?!

do you think he might have mine too notnowImreading I'm missing 24 socks

I haven't had socks go awol for years! Since I lived at home infact. . . . .

But there is the unsolved mystery of the odd socks - I have at least 20 odd socks in a heap at the bottom of the laundry basket. Where are the partners - what happens to them? Is there a separate universe of Borrowers all naked like The Man who live under our floorboards who steal them for clothes.

At least my husband can't steal my socks - his stonking size 11s simply wouldn't cram inside my size 4-7's

They should have a string on them - like children's mittens.

It can go up one trouser leg and then down the other.

I fucking love socks. I hate having cold feet, and I always have cold feet. The bigger and fluffier the better when it comes to socks. When it's really cold, I shall resort to wearing 2 pairs of socks (I have a pair of boots that only fit if I wear 2 pairs of socks)

Go with lots of matching socks, however, pick a different colour for different members of the family to make it easier (for example navy for you, black for DH, DCs socks should be clear from the sizes)

oh don't go for the all the same I find those disappear twice as quick, best option I've found is a couple of sets of matching socks

NotnowImreading - the time to worry is surely when he steals your stockings and you knickers?

Maryz - 80 socks/week. Assuming your family are all bipeds, that's about 40 pairs; or 6 pairs a day.

Now we come to the critical statistic you have withheld. For a family of 6 sock wearers, that is very modest. Or even for 4, allowing for sports socks, bedsocks, etc.

wear odd socks?

you cant wear odd socks MrsTwinks it is againest the rules and humanity .

Socks must match

I wont let a stray odd sock re-enter the home ...if it doesn't have a partner it goes in the odd sock bag

I see where MaryZ is coming from: DS = 7 ord pairs and 4 pairs sport socks = 22, DH probs 16. DD no longer wears socks opaque black tights now; and I usually wear tights or popsocks. In a two man house I probably wash about 40 socks a week! Tiresome - utterly tiresome. DS likes his rolled, DH has to have his folded. I have tried to make things easier - all of DS's socks are grey - all of DH's are black or navy (the one's with coloured toes and heels from M&S make the pairing easier and more interesting). That is very very sad . Almost as sad as DH's pants are all cotton boxers and DS's are all jersey interlock boxers to make things easier - oh God! Shuffles off to open bottle of wine.

Every time DP wears odd socks I die a little more inside

I think my children eat socks at night given the number of odd ones they have in every wash. It is truly ridiculous.

I am totally gobsmacked at married taking orders as to who wants socks rolled and folded! In this house you get presented with a basket from the tumble drier and you go through find and pair your own - I mean really - who has the time!!

I agree

Socks are unneccessary

Unless they are my trainer ones

All other socks must die

Just think, no more matching
