Ok TAAT so this will likely get deleted but what does 'too many socks' mean?

siakcaci · 05/11/2018 14:32

1 person with multiple accounts or name changes talking to themselves on a thread pretending to be other people. Sick puppets.

NotUmbongoUnchained · 05/11/2018 14:34

Sock! Puppets

Ah, sock puppets. It's when the OP sets up more accounts to respond to their own thread.

siakcaci · 05/11/2018 14:44

People are so weird

Why would you do that though...That's bizarre!?

sossages · 05/11/2018 14:49

I was really hoping to hear from other people who struggle to throw away odd socks even when their pair has been missing for months.

TheEmmaDilemma · 05/11/2018 15:27

@sossages Me too...

dontticklethetoad · 05/11/2018 15:29

Oh... Not what I was hoping for...

Oysterbabe · 05/11/2018 15:43

I think it's often if everyone is in agreement that the OP is a dickhead then they can at least add a couple of responses disagreeing.

I thought it was going to be another masturbation thread. Blush

gamerchick · 05/11/2018 15:58

It's really funny when they get their accounts mixed up though Grin stay off the ale if you're going to sock puppet.

WhenISnappedAndFarted · 05/11/2018 16:03

@sweeneytoddsrazor so did I - for some reason I still clicked on the thread!

SilentAndQuietLight · 05/11/2018 16:04

I was hoping this would be about thermal socks . . . reality disappoints again.

siakcaci · 05/11/2018 16:05

Well I have my OP answered so if you want to move on to sock masturbation.......

A socks thread! Perfect. I was looking for somewhere to ask about this and didn't want to start a thread because it's so trivial.

Was going for a walk with a friend, when I was putting my shoes on she noticed my liner socks. Said she couldn't wear them because they slip down inside her shoes and get scrunched up under her foot. I said I'd had that but had found this brand didn't do that. I'd just bought a new pack of 5 so asked if she would like a pair to try? She did.

Later I went out for dinner with DH, we came home to find a ziplock bag on the doorstep containing the socks she'd worn along with a note saying: "Thanks for letting me borrow the socks. Really like them so I went and bought a couple of packs for myself this afternoon."

TBH I really didn't expect/want them back but AIBU to think she should have returned them at least washed or, preferably, a brand new unworn pair from one of her packs to replace the brand new unworn pair I gave her?
