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.

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.

Yeah, because my wife and I are pieces of shit and put off laundry until I have no other option.

[alarms screaming, red lights pulsing all over the bridge]

“Thirty seconds to impact!”

“Captain, if we don’t begin laundry now we won’t have time to fold. We could lose the entire load”

“Acknowledged, Lieutenant Worf”

“Shall I order Engineering to begin loading the machines?”

“Twenty seconds to impact!”

“Negative. Data are you still hailing them?”

“No response, sir”

“Worf. Detergent”

Yes, sir” [his hands fly across the controls] “Pod is loaded”

“Commence laundry on my mark”

“Ten seconds to impact!”

“Awaiting your order sir”

“Hold, Lieutenant”

Sir …”

“…”

“Five seconds!”

“now”

Adjust the timescale to days or even weeks, and this isn't too far off.

"Captain, I have no more shirts left in this basket of wrinkled laundry we did three weeks ago. I'm down to my last pair or underwear."

"Alright. Let's do one load, fold it, and never put it away in our drawers."

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I just check for sock holes as I take them off.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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
