Socks are one of the best things you can put on your feet, right before shoes. The expression pull your socks up means, that your socks have fallen down and need pulling up again. Where do all the spare socks go, no one knows, not even scientists and experts in that field. More songs have been written about socks than any other topic. People often keep their socks in a draw solely dedicated to socks, this draw is known as the sock draw. If you use a sock to masturbate in, this is known as a ‘posh wank’, the sock used for this is known as the ‘special sock’. If you don’t clean the special sock enough, the sock will take itself down to the washing machine, unless you live in a bungalow the sock with take itself across to the washing machine, cause you can’t go down in a bungalow.
How many pairs of socks do you have, have you ever met anyone who wears socks, how many blokes here have a special sock, is your sock draw very organised, what’s your favourite type of sock, all this and more on this thread that will clearly not make double figures in comments because it’s way to niche and original ?!  |

I like this thread. It proves that even the most mundane ordinary things in life can be interesting if you think about them long enough.
My favourite socks are bamboo ones. They are really soft yet hard wearing. |

Actually one of the first things I tidied and sorted during lockdown. Turned out I had over 40 pairs of socks, and none that had holes either.
Down to 14 pairs of black socks and 6 grey/blue patterned socks.
Something therapeutic about tidying them for me.
And yes, I realise after this message I may never get contacted again lol

In professional cycling there are rules on sock height, a rider must NOT reach beyond the halfway point between the ankle and the knee. But have them too low and you look like an idiot and will be laughed at by the peloton. |

I got fed up once with having loads of odd socks so threw away every sock I owned and bought 30 pairs of identical black socks, so that if I lost one in the wash it didn't matter - I'd still have a pair.
Today I own one black sock
And six odd coloured ones.... |

"Just to clarify, compression socks are never acceptable
Unless you're having surgery  "
Just to clarify, surgery is acceptable, but wearing them running/ cycling is NEVER acceptable, I repeat NEVER acceptable.
Surgery fine though  |

"Why do trainer socks slowly work their way off your foot and make their way halfway down your trainer before bunching up in the toe area?"
Because the sock is tired and has had enough of being taken out on runs etc |

I have two sock drawers, one with paired up rolled socks, and the other full of odd ones. I keep hold of the odd ones in hope that their partners will turn up, a fools hope I know, but these socks have disappeared in unexplainable circumstances. They went into wash in pairs, for some to never return, and for some reason, I just can't let go.  |

If you hang a sock on a door handle it means you don't want to be disturbed nudge,nudge
When at work, my sock always match my boxers, my trousers and my shirt.

I know this is super weird but I love seeing fit guys in their socks, especially the gym normal length socks, usually white or black or grey
Also adore footie players and seeing them in their socks, somehow it turns me on.
Just to clarify, I just like the look of them on fit guys, I don’t do anything with them
Am I the only weird one? Haha |

A sock worn on the head is known as a Beanie.
A gaint sock that you can sleep in is known as a sleeping bag.
A wind sock tells pilots which way the wind is blowing. They are normally red and white stripped and made from old Where's Wally jumpers.
Socks worn on a Willy are called condoms. Unlike socks worn on the feet, these really shouldn't be washed and re-worn! |

I only ever wear hand knitted socks. They’re soft and fluffy and the most beautiful colours and patterns. Because they’re made of wool they keep feet cool when it’s hot and keep them warm when it’s cold. They draw moisture away and even help stop your feet stinking!
Hand knitted socks take me around 2 weeks to make a pair so if I give you some as a gift it means I really love you |

I have about 40 pairs. Twenty white pairs for specific trainers and jeans, 15 black pairs for other trainers and jeans combos, suits etc. 5 grey pairs when I'm throwing caution to the wind!
Can't wear those tiny trainer socks though. I'd sooner go without. |

I do wear bed socks occasionally but they are looser so that’s good
