That thing where you put on a fresh pair of socks and one has a hole so you think well I went to all that trouble to pull it on, this will be your last day little buddy, I’ll just throw it away after I wear it today.

Last chance underwear happen now and again as well but I guess it depends on where the hole is.

Wait what's the trouble you're experienceing trying to pull a sock?

[–] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Um…first, finding a matching one. If you’re just out of the shower maybe pulling it on is a pain. Maybe it catches on a sharp toenail. I’m exhausted.

I do that routine of keeping worn out clothes and I'll wear the whole set to get dirty/muddy/damaged/radioactive/whatever. I'll go ahead and get the crap clothes all dirty and sweaty, then just chuck 'em.

Or, I have been known to cut worn out T-shirts into rags, and I've scrubbed the bathtub with worn out socks.

My finished socks get a viking type sendoff but without the boat (yeah i just burn them lmao fire funy)

Depends on whether the socks are paired up. If I grab a pair, I feel like I’m committed so this is their last chance (assuming I remember at the end of the day). If a sock was just thrown in the drawer and I still need to search for a pair, it goes immediately

[–] Froyn@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

I buy 10-12 pairs of the same sock. They all go in the same drawer, unmatched. Socks do not have a left/right, so if one gets a hole or what not, it becomes a rag and I don't even notice its gone.
