Short, long, thick, thin, plain or printed, they come in all shapes and sizes. Yes, we’re talking about socks. You wear them to protect your feet, keep your toes warm and prevent yourself from sweaty shoes. Okay, sweaty shoes can happen to anyone, but socks actually take good care of your feet. And yet they get your backs up. Here are the 5 most annoying facts about socks. We bet everyone will recognise these.
#1 Drooping socks
You’ve only taken a few steps and the heel of your sock is somewhere near your toes. Taking your shoe off and adjust your sock is annoying. Finding out that the same sock has drooped all the way to your toes again is even more annoying. This happens a lot when you wear footies (those tiny socks you wear in trainers) and there is only one solution: buy socks that have a non-slip rim. Also footies with an elastic back can prevent drooping, but these are less sustainable than the non-slip version.
#2 Business wear with sport socks
Okay guys, let’s be honest: watching a girl getting herself all pretty and beautiful looking, only to put on her pyjamas is a bit odd. Right? Well, this is exactly the case when you put on a business suit and show your white sport socks. Please, don’t do this. Never. Rather opt for a nice pair of classic socks, preferably brand socks like Tommy Hilfiger, to finish your outfit. Ladies will be eternally grateful for this, we promise.
#3 Eaten socks
You throw in ten and get one in return. This may sound unfair and, let’s face it, it is. Your laundry machine thinks your socks are a delicious meal, and before you know it, you’ll have no socks left. Where are they? We don’t know, but buying yourself a bunch of new socks every other week is really annoying. But there is a solution though: put all your socks in a mesh laundry bag. There is no escaping to it and your machine will never eat your socks again.
#4 Wrong combination of socks
One foot wears apple green socks and the other a bright yellow sock, it looks ridiculous. Finding yourself a pair is an every-morning-struggle and you regularly leave the house wearing two different socks. Your washing machine may have eaten one, or perhaps you are not into tidying at all. Just try to sort your socks as soon as they are clean.
#5 Socks in the bedroom
Totally naked, only wearing socks. This sends shivers down the spines of many people and a Reddit study confirms this. They asked 23.000 people about keeping socks on during the love-making, and the majority said that they think this is a huge turn-off. We don’t know if the socks or the partner is annoying. The same study revealed that many people find socks lying around to be very irritating. The solution: free your feet, but clean up your mess.
