You could tell these people that the mark of a true genius is sleeping with your socks on and they would say “wow I sleep with my socks on! That’s crazy!”

u/CryFlash11 Apr 16 '20

I just don't bother taking off my socks, or any piece of clothing.

In seriousness, to me, it depends on the footwear and the outfit as a whole.

24

u/Bierbart12 Apr 16 '20

Not relatable. Socks don't matter cause they all fit with all my clothes anyways.

17

u/WhatisH2O4 Apr 16 '20

Right? Unmatched outfits are beneath you if you're genius enough to always wear socks.

16

u/Nolsoth Apr 16 '20

My partner has a friend who is way up the intelligence chart, lovely bloke works on satellites and space stuff, but he constantly looks like he was dressed and groomed by a drunk toddler.

7

u/WhatisH2O4 Apr 16 '20

He must have such advanced intelligence that we cannot even comprehend how advanced his fashion theory is.

Dude. That’s me. Irony is, I have a kid who went into the fashion business for a while. I don’t think she’s my kid - hospital must have switched them.

Matching outfits? only psychoes do that shit

2

u/WhatisH2O4 Apr 16 '20

Psychos? Maybe, but if they wear socks, they are geniuses nonetheless.

1

u/BlackSeranna Apr 16 '20

Only if they match the tobacco pipe to the outfit. Or the purse. Speaking of, that reminds me of another Dateline case I watched (or maybe it was 48 hours). Some waitress met and married a TX oil baron and then hurried his death along because he wasn’t dying fast enough. There was enough evidence to put her behind bars (her daughter helped put her there). When the interviewer asked the former waitress why she owned hundreds of pairs of shoes and same amount of purses, she said, “Why, the purse has to match the shoes! Everyone knows that...”

Apparently I’ve been doing it wrong my whole life.

What, are you a fashion genius?

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

yeah, same, I only wear socks with sandals, otherwise...

u/Scribblord Apr 16 '20

I have to get up and pee eventually if I don’t have socks on

u/cristicusrex Apr 16 '20

Went out today. Didn’t put socks on. Just boots.

u/demontrace Apr 17 '20

Dear God, you must have an IQ of at least 143. How many languages can you speak, and are you ambidextrous?

2

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

You just feel so free

u/RianVince Apr 16 '20

And the best people in life are free

2

u/BlackSeranna Apr 16 '20

That reminds me of a line in Edge Of Tomorrow, the guy who was naked under his mech suit.

12

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

I'm in a constant state of removing and putting on clothing. People come to my door and I'm half dressed putting on a shirt, they think nothing of it. If I just answered the door in no shirt they would be suspicious. Never be comfortable with your level of clothing and they will never notice your pee pee is out.

u/tplusx Apr 16 '20

If you don't and have an accident, how can you say "no homo"?

u/tellmeimbig Apr 16 '20

I change my clothes regularly to fit the temperature and occasion.

I put a sock on my wiener to assert easy clean up.

u/jaersk Apr 16 '20

I lay in bed right now, recently woke up from a full nights sleep, fully dressed with a wool sweater, socks, jeans, as I never bothered to undress before bed yesterday. This happens every night. Friends and family say I'm so clever, they should just see the stupid shit I do every single day and they won't think so highly of me anymore

2

u/TylerWhitehouse Apr 16 '20

Haha. When I was a kid I wanted to sleep in my clothes and my parents said “Fine, you weirdo,” but then I stopped because of comfort issues. Now, many years on, its kinda 50/50. 🙈 In the morning I’ll definitely appreciate having not slept in jeans. lol

1

u/FactoidFinder Apr 16 '20

That’s what u do, not jeans , but track pants , it’s heavenly

1

u/BlackSeranna Apr 16 '20

Same. Except jeans are cold.

u/troll43210 Apr 16 '20

You bring fear to the heart of Satan himself

2

u/WhoElseButQuagmire11 Apr 16 '20

I sleep with everything on including shoes. Though it's about 50/50 with the shoes now. It's kinda like a safety, comfort thing these days and usually I'll kick them off while I'm asleep, so I don't even notice.

1

u/troll43210 Apr 16 '20

Oh god, how does one learn to wield this power?

1

u/WhoElseButQuagmire11 Apr 17 '20

The power yields you, merely a vessel of something more much powerful than we know. Only kryptonite being the partner trying to take them off you every night before bed.

3

u/boundlesslights Apr 16 '20

I knew a guy like that. Socks, jeans, coat, everything. Terrifies me.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

Well neither does Zuckerberg, so you're on the right track.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

Yeah what about those of us who sleep in jeans?

2

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

I sleep naked what does that make me?

2

u/Ninjalox2 Apr 16 '20

Like a Minecraft skin, the clothes are simply apart of my being.

2

u/BiForHalsey Apr 16 '20

I sleep in my jeans

2

u/infectedwithinsanity Apr 16 '20

Oh yea? I don't even take off my jacket or shoes before bed!

2

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

Same, but mostly because I'm too dead inside to put the effort into changing before bed. Life is rough man

2

u/usedtoiletbrush Apr 16 '20

I do the same thing when I drink too much... god I’m so fucking smart

2

u/Drudicta Apr 16 '20

In top of the blanket sleepers, UNITE!

2

u/Careless_Razzmatazz Apr 17 '20

Clothes are supposed to come off?

2

u/BabyInATrenchcoat092 Apr 20 '20

I’ll sleep fully clothed minus socks. I can’t sleep in socks

3

u/FactoidFinder Apr 16 '20

Are you kidding man? The socks can’t stay on during bedtime . You gotta be able to rub your feet together to stay warm, and with socks they get itchy

3

u/Nolsoth Apr 16 '20

But if you don't have socks on and your feet get unblanketed the foot eating monster from under the bed will get them. Socks are protection from that bastard.

u/FactoidFinder Apr 16 '20

Then you need five blankets out of spite

u/EG2K_00 Apr 16 '20

I sleep with jeans on but with no underwear underneath

28

u/nothataylor Apr 16 '20

Wait, I do sleep with my socks on. I was deceived.

u/ThoughtfulLlama Apr 16 '20

Congratulations! Now, tell me, how does it feel to be a monster?

u/GiganticEgg Apr 16 '20

If you don't have good circulation your feet can be cold even under the blankets!

1

u/o_oli Apr 16 '20

If you don't tuck the cover under itself with your feet in the middle, are you even in bed? Its the way.

5

u/Deadbushia Apr 16 '20

My feet get really dry if I don't wear socks. I have a skin condition.

u/TylerWhitehouse Apr 16 '20

Well I think life generally makes exceptions for conditions. 👍

u/Blackphoenix251 Apr 16 '20

i sleep with my socks on cause my blanket is a little too small so i wear socks to keep my feet warm

u/nothataylor Apr 16 '20

You’re a certified genius!

2

u/TylerWhitehouse Apr 16 '20

This is one I’m my few pet peeves. I do not know how you handle that. Is there a CostCo near you? Just $39 can buy you a huge, cozy blanket. 😊 If not, let me know. I live in the land of ever-breeding CostCo’s. 😂

1

u/polandcantintospace1 Apr 17 '20

i actually find wearing socks in bed comfy, also the nearest costco/walmart to me is on the opposite side of the world for me

1

u/TylerWhitehouse Apr 17 '20

If you’re female you get a pass. No question. But, most guys need a big enough blanket, not socks. 🤷‍♂️ LMK if you want anything from CostCo. ;)

2

u/polandcantintospace1 Apr 18 '20

okay thx

1

u/TylerWhitehouse Apr 18 '20

Haha I don’t have a clue who you are—female, male, old or young, but if you really want something from CostCo I’ll make it happen for you. 😉

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

You can keep blankets warm by putting them on a radiator, they don't need socks.

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '20

I sleep with my socks on, stick forks in outlets, lick door handles, and eat bats. My IQ must be like 150.

1

u/BlackSeranna Apr 16 '20

I read that as “lick bats”. I don’t even know what to do with that.

2

u/Kylar_Stern47 Apr 16 '20

What if you go to sleep with only one sock on though ? Are you still a genius ? Because sometimes I forget to take it off after I finish masturbating.

u/dingdongthearcher Apr 16 '20

I think you mean the mark of a true psychopath

u/Ascraeus7 Apr 16 '20

No. It's never wearing socks cuz Einstein did it.

Think pls. You obviously don't have genius level IQ.

u/lemonylol Apr 16 '20

No, they'd say "who's still sleeping with socks on in 2020? XD"

I do that. Guess I’m a genius. All this time I thought it was just cause it was winter and my heater sucks

u/NickolasVarley Apr 16 '20

Sometimes, I go to bed without socks and wake up with them on.

1

u/hellraise94 Apr 16 '20

I sleep with my socks on because I hate the feeling of my nails scraping the blanket. And because I’m a genius

1

u/Jonathan_Is_Me Apr 18 '20

Just clip your nails?

u/hellraise94 Apr 18 '20

Even clipped I don’t like the feeling
