Socks!

I just thought i'd share my sock grievences with everyone and see if anyon else's socks hate them...

Where the hell do socks go!?
I appear to have about 10 odd socks, depsite having them in pairs when i moved here about a month ago... I'm sure theyre running away from me.
Why cant socks stay in pairs!?
They get put into the washing machine in pairs... they go into the tumble dryer in pairs... and then they appear to run away from me...

I've searched the apartment high and low... where could they have gone? I've even checked in the back of the washing machine, and behind the tv!

i think my socks hate me... maybe i just have smelly feet... :frown:

Anyone else hate socks? Or am i just not a sock-friend?

haha, i have a sock problem as well, they always seem to vanish into no where, its like when I wash them as pairs I never seem to reunite the pairs again. Oh, well, I sometimes tend to wear odd socks especially in the house.

I never wear matching socks. I'm lucky if I can find two that are clean and have no holes, let alone match!
I used to have a problem with pants too coz the neighborhood weirdo used to steal them off the line.

My friend always wears odd socks, it's just something they do in her family. There's a picture of the 4 sisters stood together, and each one is wearing odd socks - but all the socks in the picture are matching pairs.

Someone should make a sock soc. Thatd be fun for about 10 minutes

You solve the odd sock problem by buying loads of the same socks. Then it doesnt matter if you mix them up and lose them etc

Im quite fond of socks to be honest. For all the inconvenience and annoyance we've had some good times: when i first discovered toed socks (their like ****ing gloves for your feet!) when i was camping and i warmed my socks on the fire then put them on, when i put 3 pairs of socks on so these really big shoes would fit me. Its a love-hate relationship but i wouldnt swap them for the world :rolleyes:

sometimes pairs of socks realise that they are not made for one another and its better for everyone that they go their seperate ways.

I had a pair of those, loved them to bits - until my mum threw them out because they had big holes in the bottom :frown:

She always wants to throw out my favourite socks.

As Prince George put it in Blackadder:
"To me, Blackadder, socks are like sex. Tons of it about, and I never seem to get any."

I no longer own socks. Never mind only having odd socks I don't seem to have any. They've all buggered off and left me.

unless I'm wearing shorts, odd socks are fine. Blue goes well with yellow, green complements red, and orange goes with purple. Not that I have purple socks.
