I usually use them for cleaning things or something. I once used one to apply barbecue sauce to a roasting chicken, and it was then I made the discovery that other people considered that offensive. Go figure.

Peckery, is it just socks or do feet interest you as well? Perhaps you could get a job as a shoe salesman.
I just think socks are facinating. Clothes for the toes. Have you ever seen the socks that are like gloves? A compartment for each toe! The Egyptians used to fashion their socks out of reeds found along the Nile River. This was going on 5000 years ago! Two professional baseball teams are named after socks. A roll of quarters in a sock make a leathal weapon. Whats not to like?
Socks are like swans, they mate for life. Nothing is sadder than a drawer full of lonely, crying socks. The sound used to keep me up at night. This way, the lonely socks go to the great loom in the sky and I get my sleep.

you didn't mention peckery, how many of you guys leave your socks lying on the floor after taking them off! My hubby can never find a pair of socks to wear, cause his socks are all over the house. grumble, grumble, complain, huh men!

Guilty... ... but only some times. I like to run a tidy ship down here, so they usually get tossed straight into the wash, and then thrown neatly into the cupboard.

multiply that by three and you have my house. I think that my guys think that their sox are butterflies and that they must be set free to find their own way------all over the house, under tables and sofas, in the corners of rooms, scurrying across the floors...I think I could throw away a trashbag full of unmatched that wouldnt even be missed.

First of all, I roll my socks, as mates.
Second, I leave mine on the floor at night when I go to bed because I use them as a rug during the winter time. Next morning I throw them in the basket.
But I cannot believe, no one has mentioned what kind of sock do they wear.
Me, I prefer wool crew socks. I am not a big fan of cottons, being an outdoorsman you learn one thing about cottons, Cottons Kills.

My darling little wifey absolutely forbids that my socks get tossed in with the rest of the wash. She says they will contaminate the rest of the laundry. So I have to throw them on the floor in the terraza behind the house, the dog takes over from there for the necessary pretreatment. When he finishes with them they get washed, well, if anything is left.
