AIBU to LTB over his socks?

He insists on leaving his socks on the kitchen/living room/stairs floor - even if he is stood next to the washing basket! Should I LTB or just burn the offending footwear?

Are you having an affair with my husband? Hmm

And mine??? My work friends enjoyed the daily updates on thr saga of the sock on the banister at the top of the stairs. 7 days it waited there needing washing before I gave in. Every day it taunted me as i walked past.

@Outbackshack I had a similar scenario. I even asked him to vacuum in the hope that that might get it resolved. Nope. He hoovered around it.

Around it.

Around a fucking sock.

Would it be acceptable to superglue them to his feet?

Stuff them inside his pillowcase. A gently stinky reminder of his shame.

My husband used to do this. Then I got a puppy and he started running out of socks without holes in. They now go straight in the wash basket. I'm obviously not advising to get a puppy just to get him to put his socks away, but if there's suitable consequences he may start being tidier Grin

Both. Burn the socks while dumping him, just to underline your point. It's the only reasonable course of action.

The OP could just bite holes in them herself, Bambamber?

Put them in the bin

LTB, Twice!

Bin the socks! Burn the socks! Run the bastard things over! Just make sure he's wearing them at the time.
