To not want to wash my dishes using

[OddHoleySocks]

Someone else's socks?

A Facebook friend that I know through an online craft group has started making 'scrubbers' for washing dishes using her odd socks. She is selling them for charity - and wants people to donate their odd and holey socks so she can make more...

(not envy)

AIBU to be a bit grossed out by this? I know they will be clean.

We’re honestly doomed

Because people don't want to use a strangers socks to wash dishes with?

Who knew the solution was that simple!

I don’t think people did use a lines with terries when I was a kid. Don’t remember my mum using one with my little sister

People certainly did. Your mum might not have, but mine did.

Back in the 80s, we used old knickers as dusters. There was no such thing as a bought duster. It wouldn't bother me to do that now, or to use socks, but they'd be our own, not someone else's!

Knickers were bigger back then, I suspect! I don’t think I could clean much with my high leg bikini cut ones - despite the vastness of my arse!

No @OddHoleySocks, because people are so precious about everything these days. The socks is just one example of hysterical overreactions to ‘hygiene’ issues. It’s a simple repurpose of cloth. Peoples hands probably have poo and penis juice on them and they touch everything you touch out and about but no, the thought of a washed socks past life is too much for people🙄

Oh please. It's hardly a 'hysterical overreaction' to say I don't like the idea of washing my dishes with a sock that has been worn by people I don't know.

It does seem to be a bit of an overreaction to suggest we are doomed because I'm not going to, however!

“We’re doomed, laddie - dooooomed!”

I'd rather give my old socks to the council for recycling, they're quite happy to take them.

It's a bit weird but I wouldn't really care about the hygiene aspects. Dish clothes are little germ cities in general.

It's kind of weird but very environmentally friendly. I have a few rules in my house about cleaning but the hang-ups about hygiene some people have are ridiculous. I had a colleague who threw out a plastic jug because it had been used for a piss sample. Just wash and sterilize it. So wasteful. I blame cleaning companies making people think things need to be completely germ and bacteria free. Antibac products are dreadful.

Would they actually scrub?? My socks are all very soft. Missing point I guess
