No I'm not talking about socks blessed by the Pope. I'm talking about socks that have holes
in them. What's ridiculous is that once a sock has a hole in it, you should just throw them out or mend them. But who the fuck knows how to mend a sock anymore. That was an art lost with the seamstresses of our past and with homemakers that are no longer. In fact, i don't know if I ever saw my mom mend a sock when I was a child. Either way, they piss me off. Because I can't bring myself to throw them out. At least not until every year on Christmas. Because my mom always adds socks and underwear into my assortment of gifts. Socks are aggravating though. They serve the purpose of providing cushioning and comfort and protection between your foot and the shoe. However, without fail they always end up with holes where your big toe is. So, instead of throwing out holey socks, I rotate them between feet.
When I've worn a sock through the big toe area, then it gains a new spot on the other foot where the hole is down near my pinky toe and the area with fabric is back near the big toe. The problem with this means of recycling socks is that when you wear a sock long enough on one foot the fabric becomes formed to that foot's shape. So the holey part of the sock has extra fabric toward the pinky toe that gets bunched up at the end of the shoe. It pisses me off. Now you would say, "Seriously? If it pisses you off that much...just throw them out and buy new ones. But for some reason I never do that. Instead of just going to Target and purchasing myself new socks, I live in frustration with this issue.
Frankly, I don't think I like socks at all. I don't think I've ever put socks on and thought, "Wow, now that's a good feeling". Sandals are the way to go. The feeling of wearing some comfortable sandals in summertime where the air can naturally aerate my feet. Now that's good stuff. To hell with confining my feet to socks and shoes. That's bullshit. I'd be happy as hell if I could wear a button down dress shirt, a tie, black dress pants and flip flops. But alas, business attire requires all of the preceding plus socks and minus flip flops. My loss.

I agree!
ReplyDeleteSocks make your feet smell, too. Sandals are the way to go.
