Socks - I have rules about them

Brilliant !!! I can totally see and hear him saying that.
:smiley:

I’m wearing a nice warm pair of Timberland hiking socks right now.

I own less than ten pairs of socks as I am a flip flop wearer, even with socks. Hubby has oodles of socks. They mostly get rolled up together but there are some free rangers. There is truth to the washing machine eating the socks. :dubious:

Ankle socks are my preferred sock, if I can’t be barefoot. Even with flip flops on.

My socks are free range. All black they get thrown on the couch in the spare room after washing and gradually get picked off, used, washed and find their way back.

As soon as I’m home from work and can take off the dress shoes, the socks are off. When I don’t have to, I don’t wear them.

So far in this thread, we have had:
free-range socks,
bedtime socks,
naughty socks,
smiling socks,
and socks with holes.

But yours are the only socks with divinity.

May God’s mercy shine from their soles. :).

Since I am the only one to provide a picture of my socks, I think “sock monkey socks” deserves to be on this list.
:smiley:

I’d provide a picture of my socks if there were some way to insure it wouldn’t immediately end up on a sock-porn site. :frowning:

So I’m not the only one! Just now, I stepped out of the shower, got a pair of socks right out of the dryer, put them on… and immediately put my right foot down in a puddle on the floor. That sock gets another go through the laundry before it goes back on a foot.

It seems a bit crazy, but I can’t help myself. Two seconds of use = dirty sock.

OH NO! :eek:
I’m not going to do it, but I am 100% sure if I googled “sock porn site” one would come up.

I did. And there’s more than one. Seems to be a thing.

I did not know that. Huh.

In fairness, going by the few seconds of research that I did, the socks mostly seem to be attached at one end to an attractive young lady, and have the face of another one located somewhere near the other end. So the chances of your sock pix being co-opted as porn will likely depend on the attractiveness and spatial distribution of any young ladies in them.

I can never find my dark socks for work. I have bought two packs and have like 4 pairs left. My son insists he has no clue where they are and when I catch him wearing them he’s “These are your socks?”

You might enjoy these superhero socks that have their own little capes.

I could rock those. :smiley:

I always put on TWO pairs of socks, before visit someone else’s place. I know it’s neurotic, but unattractive people disgust me immensely, and I feel as if the extra pair protects me from whatever molecules of their foot sweat seeped through their socks onto the floor, threatening to get soaked up by my socks and ultimately stick to the skin of my soles. cringe
And yes, I do that even in summer.

You realize, THREE pair would do a far better job, right?

Well, not now. He’s dead, Jim.

I am happy to report that I sent my transman stepson a pre-Christmas present. It included these socks. They were a big hit, and were taken in the spirit I sent them… now that pigs are flying anything can happen. No limits!

Now I want cool socks. I like funky coloured socks, and maybe it is a hangover from the 1980’s new-wave chick I used to be, but I like matching my socks to my shirt. But I don’t own anything as nifty as the piggy socks.
