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.

Yep but instead of throwing them away in the trash can that’s across the house I toss them into the convenient clothes hamper and end up wearing them again

I’ll repair last chance socks and stockpile (clean) last chance underwear for long trips. Throw them out as the trip goes instead of stashing dirty laundry in your bag.
Now that is a damn solid strategy.
This is way too organized but I like it
I had never considered that and am now adopting it

How did you know that I have an Uncle Bob?
We all have an uncle Bob
Is… is it the same guy?
OP pls we need to know……
Shhhh
I’m psychotic
I learned to sew when I was little, so I have no qualms busting out the kit to put a few stitches in something. It’s not a hard skill to pick up, and definitely something I think everyone should learn. Especially in this day and age, where everything is so damn expensive! Your stitches don’t have to be perfect, they just have to hold.
Lol that was my project last weekend with all my undies! They’re all still pretty good, but just some holes where the fabric meets the elastic, so I got out the sewing machine and knocked them out all at once. (Though I spotted one I missed yesterday of course! 😔)
The good thing about patching socks and undies is nobody sees them, so they don’t have to look good!
I take that opportunity to do a little kintsugi in them and use thread that really stands out or patch with a silly fabric. It feels fun to do that, plus when I see it pulling then out of the dresser it reminds me how much money I saved! 😁
What if you are in an accident?
Nurses need some fun in their lives too. They see some shit! My GF is a rad tech and does OR and trauma, and patchy drawers are hardly the craziest thing that’d roll in.
If I’m in there for something serious enough for them to see my undies, they’re just gonna cut them off anyway, so they may as well cut off a beat pair. 😉
Otherwise, it can be a conversation starter!
For some reason I thought that modern machine-made socks couldn’t be darned. Maybe because my understanding is that other modern clothes like pants that rip next to a seam can’t be reliably repaired? (Like, the seam holds but the fabric itself rips)
Yes but I then forget to throw them out so I end up wearing them until they literally become unusable.
IDK if it’s calluses or what but my heels will wear through damn near anything in a pretty short time. Noticed a small hole in a sock once and by the end of the day the entire heel had worn through. Once wore through the heels of a $40 pair of sandals in just a couple months. I didn’t have any money at the time to replace them, so I just covered the worn area with duct tape. That lasted less than a week.
It’s how you walk. You have a prominent heel strike in your gait, and it’s causing more wear on the shoe gear in that specific spot. This style of walking with a heavy calcaneal foot strike will eventually give you pain in the knees, hips, and shoulders. You’ll want to switch to a more natural walking motion, where your forefoot hits the ground at the same time or before your heel hits the ground.
Nope, straight into the garbage. I have a garbage in my bedroom.
Like others I have many socks of the same type. Why would I wear a sock that has failed in its purpose?
Same with underwear.
You people need to get your lives in order.
I’m kinda surprised you can see us peasants from that high horse.
You people need to get your lives in order.
A bit over the top given the context lol.
I mean, I’m the same. They have a whole? I’ll throw them away. But I don’t immediately consider people who wear socks with holes in them not to have their lives in order provided with only that info about them.
I think they were being hyperbolic
Yes. I refuse to tag my sarcasm.
You people need to get your lives in order.
Says the guy with garbage in his room
Having a garbage in your bedroom is much better than having many of the same socks
Socks with holes would drive me crazy during the day, so I’d just put on another pair and trash them personally
Apparently Darn Tough socks have lifetime warranties. I have 4-5 socks knotted up out of 10 that got big toe holes. They’ll get sent in sometime…
I just looked it up and my first pair of darn tough socks are 7 years old with no signs of failing. I feel like I got my money’s worth. I’m not sure I would even make a warranty claim at this point.
I do this, but because I don’t like throwing out clean clothes. It takes a few rounds of accidentally washing the worn out item before I’ll throw it away while it’s clean.
Haha, I wish I were this way, I feel weird not washing clothes one more time before throwing them off, as almost a goodbye ritual
Your way is fine, too. I think I’m being unreasonable by insisting they should be dirty at the moment they’re thrown out.
There was a time in my life when all my socks had holes in them, because sock money didn’t come easy. Took a while after those days ended for me to realise I can buy socks that go all the way around my foot any time I want.
Take it to a whole new fucking level dude: subscriptions socks delivery.
🤯 I had no idea that was a thing!
I mean if it’s not you and I are gonna be rich
Last chance underwear happen now and again as well but I guess it depends on where the hole is.
I was chilling in my house with my legs crossed (ankle on knee style) wearing just underwear a couple weeks ago. I happened to look down and noticed that my dingaling was hanging out of a hole in my underwear that I didn’t realize was there. Those immediately went into the trash.
And now that’s an image that I can never unsee :(
I tear them to pieces. Not giving them a chance to trick me again.
Same. If I can get two fingers in the hole, I rip the sock in half. And it becomes a ring rag.
Wait what’s the trouble you’re experienceing trying to pull a sock?
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)
