Gotta get the Darn Tough socks. No more tossing in the trash, they have a lifetime warranty but they also last forever. After many years I finally just sent like 12 pairs in and got all new ones.

I wanted to love their socks, but the way they fit my feet is just awful. Tight in the wrong places and loose in others. Curious if others have the same experience

I've got tons of their socks in a variety of styles and I've never had an issue.

I agree, I bought a pair and I hated how they felt. I can see them lasting a long time, but they're not for me.

If they're the least favourite pair in your drawer, they will definitely last a long time!

Bring snacks

A bit rude of you to not bring your own snacks to OP's LOTR watch party, no?

Hey, I told I was broke before the entire thing happened

I sew them back together and when they become so riddled with holes that fixing it is a waste of effort, I take them apart to make patches for other really messed up socks.

This is outrageous. Where are the bags of garbage that come in to take the socks away? Where are they? This kind of condition is never tolerated in my dresser. You have a hole like that I put you in the trash. Right away. No second chance, no nothing. Socks with holes in the heel, I have a special trash can for holes in the heel. You are ripping: right to the trash. You are having moth holes: right to the trash can, right away. Sock legs too loose: trash. Tight: trash. They get that way where the threads inside tangle up with the toes: you right to the trash. Sock has no padding? Believe it or not, trash. Sock has too much padding, also trash. Not padded, over-padded. Sock was part of a unique set and the other is gone, believe it or not, trash, right away. I have the best sock drawer in the world because of trash.

Considered it, but it's too good of a shitpost to not reach the broader audience here

Crossposts make the Fediverse go 'round! Looks like someone took care of it

I got some Dickies compression socks (from the pharmacy section and not where they usually have socks) and holy shit they are durable. I've had them over 10 years and not a single sock in the bunch has a hole yet.

Sock holes are a great way to practice sewing!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Throw those socks out, bro.
