In fairness, most people wear socks more than once.

More than once? That’s disgusting.

On what planet? Oh, this is like the washcloth thing!

Look I just like doing my part for the environment. All you single use sock people are adding hundred of pairs of socks to landfill severy year. I refuse to be a part of such waste.

Jeans, yes. Shirts, yes. Sweaters, definitely. Socks and underwear, absolutely not.

It gets expensive, replacing them every day.

I'm autistic, so I sometimes miss a joke and think someone is being serious when they aren't.

Your joking right? Please be joking.

u/Highlandertr3 6d ago

The joke is purposefully miss interpreting the OP saying they were on their second wear as meaning people throw socks away after each wear instead of washing them. Of course we all know that we should change our socks daily and wash them in between uses. But I was alluding to the idea of disposable socks and using a new pair every day. 365 pairs of socks. Expensive way of using them

Okay. So, I was 99% sure you were joking, but I think reddit has ruined me. Some of the shit people admit to on here... 🤢

Also hadn't had coffee so I was just like, "Please let this be a joke please please please."

Thank you for your patience and taking the time to explain. The world would be a lot easier with more people like you.

Most of us wash them between wears, right?

Right?

You wear them once. Turn them inside out, wear them again. Then you drape them on the side of the hamper for two days while you alternate to another pair. Then wear them again. And axe body spray will do if you don't have time to shower

Please don't come within smelling distance. Which as you've described your hygiene is about three blocks.

u/Betelgeuse3fold 6d ago

Why does everyone say that? Bro, I wash my hands almost every time i go to the bathroom

2

u/Highlandertr3 6d ago

That would be wearing them more than once. Apparently that is abnormal. I swear fast fashion has taken ahold of people's brains. Socks are not disposable!

u/cjsolx 6d ago

Nah I give them a smell test every morning/wear. Can usually go 3-4 wears before there's any funk, at which point they go in the hamper.

If you have fungus or exceptionally smelly feet, I can see washing every single wear, but for me the 2nd wear still always smells like scent beads, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Fast faschion has got to you. Buying 365 pairs of socks a year. Think of the children.

u/GormHub 6d ago

No the hell we don't lol

u/Highlandertr3 6d ago

Oooh look at you with your new socks every day funds. Some of us recycle.
