To think we need to put a stop to the sock abuse in our house???

[MaryMotherOfCheeses]

DH and I both like wearing plain black cotton socks.

When we first moved in together 12 years ago, DP (as he was then) used to borrow mine. Which was annoying as his feet are so much bigger than mine and there was never any socks left for me.

Then after we got married (6 years ago) he bought a whole load of socks and as mine were all worn out, I started wearing his.

He's never quite forgiven me for this.

Just before Christmas, I bought a whole load more socks with "Next" written on the soles. So it's really easy to see which are mine.

And he's still wearing them! His argument being that I've worn his for so long! Well, he started it...

Anyway. I think we need a sock amnesty and that he should stick to his own sock drawer.

AIBU?

thechristmasarmadillo, great name, love that episode

and the nose amnesty, roffle

Just be glad there aren't four of you in the house all pinching each others' socks.

Our dds are now teenagers and no-one's socks are out of bounds...especially sports socks.

No-one ever pairs them properly either so we all wear odd ones, knowing there's another "pair" the same somewhere in the house.

When I moved back to my parents after DS was born, I suffered sock loss as I had previously always bought man-socks for myself (am a bigfoot and the market used to sell lots of cheap men's socks). So in self-defence, rushed off to Peacocks and bought a dozen pairs of pink flowery socks to stop them migrating to DF and DB's sock drawers.

well if you both have a matching pair (rare in this house)on at the same time, i wouldnt bother!!

all black seems a good idea to me, when i can only find 1 dalek sock and 1 tardis sock i tell ds1 they are a matching pair, they're both from dr who what does it matter!!
