I will never, never do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-410283 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 22:56:12 +0000 tororojo 410283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't mind sock holes! I also don't mind non-matching socks--I just throw all my singles into a drawer and pull 2 out that are roughly the same height. DH cannot understand this and I think is mildly horrified by it; good thing we each have our own drawer. But when he does laundry he matches my socks for me. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-410102 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:28:55 +0000 Mrs squirreld 410102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sew up holy socks.... :-) usually my problem is they lose their other pair...</p> <p>Holy underwear on another note... My DH seems to bond with them And can't throw them away... I'm Constantly chucking them out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-410076 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:12:50 +0000 sera_87 410076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i go through them while I do laundry and toss any "left behind" pairs and holey ones. DH always seems to wear them out in the heel (thus causing blisters) &amp; he's on his feet all day at work, = utter agony. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-410014 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 20:41:19 +0000 prettylizy 410014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sigh.

If you like holes in your socks, fine. I'll just try to ignore how sad and tragic it looks. You didn't have to come here, pretend to be Mr Bee, and post this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-409851 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:59:19 +0000 Mrs. Pen 409851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: oh yeah, I'm huge on budget and I feel I have a healthy knowledge of what things to "splurge" and invest in and what things to get for cheap. Baby clothes: cheap. My jeans: invest. DHs work clothes: invest etc :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-409796 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:22:01 +0000 DpeachLu 409796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This reminds me once My x boyfriend (then boyfriend) and I went to a house where they asked to please take your shoes off at the door. Well when he took his shoe off his sock had a hole so big that ALL OF HIS TOES were literally sticking out of the hole.. so it was like half a sock? I just started laughing. It was funny. </p> <p>Holy socks make my anxiety shoot up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-409717 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 16:44:25 +0000 Dapple Grey 409717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I turn them into rags! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-409714 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 16:42:56 +0000 mrbee 409714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I'm trying to change my approach so that I do less buying/replacing of things, and more investing in high quality items... and then having them repaired over time.</p> <p>Sounds like you do a lot of that too, which is awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-409607 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 15:23:57 +0000 Mrs. Pen 409607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: me too! I darn in the toe if I LOVE the socks- like my knit ones that are super warm!</p> <p>DH gets holey socks and I think they're awful - I have to disagree with your post mrbee! I think that they don't "work fine" with holes. My feet are really uncomfortable in most shoes without socks, and if they have holes then parts of my feet are uncomfortable! And what about if you're going to someone's house where you take off your shoes! then it's super embarrassing.<br /> I also get the holes in the toes and hate it. cannot stand it. I buy new socks every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214547 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 09:46:13 +0000 jedeve 214547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I darn socks. Does that make me weird? At least for ones in the toe area. Heel holes are pretty hard.</p> <p>We live in Montana so it's Smart Wools all the way. Those are hard to wear through! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214535 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 09:24:47 +0000 Minnie_Girl 214535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tend to wear mine until they're worn to threads on the soles. Old socks are perfect for polishing furniture, that's what my mom always did with dad's old socks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214506 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 08:59:05 +0000 CarrieLouWho 214506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once hubby's socks get holes, we make them dusters or use for other household cleaning. So we reuse them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214492 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 08:35:21 +0000 Penny Lane 214492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha, if this were facebook, I totally would have liked your OP, @mrbee.</p> <p>Really, my socks just plain don't get holey. I don't wear them enough. I've got the same 5 pairs of socks I had 5 years ago... still no holes :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214484 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 08:06:45 +0000 Rubies 214484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We once had a guest over whose entire heel was showing through his sock! THOSE need to be thrown out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214481 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 08:04:06 +0000 MsMamaBear 214481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holes don't bother me on my SO.LOL Recently saw he has a pair with a 2 inch hole in the bottom. I just laughed and said he needed new ones. Didn't throw them out. He doesn't throw out my stuff, so I don't do his. (he hates my coupons being around) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214476 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 07:53:39 +0000 Maysprout 214476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking in the previous thread that if someone said to my husband something about his holey socks he'd go on a rant about wastefulness. </p> <p>We have come to an agreement that because we have so many socks from over the years (my dad likes to buy my husband socks), that unpaired holey socks can be tossed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214453 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 07:03:49 +0000 mediagirl 214453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband wears through the heels of his socks. It drives me crazy but since it doesn't bother him, I wait to toss them until he is fed up or we end up losing one of the pair. </p> <p>For me, my socks lose elasticity before they get holes in them. I have to toss them when there is no elasticity. That drives me bonkers!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214443 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 06:28:07 +0000 Andrea 214443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: there is if someone sees them. Like going back to that whole thread about taking off your shoes in someone else's house. Wouldn't you be self conscious if they saw all these holes in your socks? DH has some holey socks and always thinks ahead for situations like that as to not wear the ones with holes in them and feel embarrassed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214437 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 06:18:31 +0000 chopsuey 214437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think holes are fine as long as they're not in the toe area! Holes in the toes are easy to mend though.. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214435 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 05:31:11 +0000 anonysquire 214435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have holes in some of my socks. Right at the ball of my foot though, none with holey toes. It doesn't bother me. The socks are not worn out elsewhere and I can't feel the holes. I always wear through socks and shoes the fastest at the balls of my feet. I don't know if DH has holey socks but I do throw them out if they start looking dingy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214432 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 04:41:46 +0000 SugarplumsMom 214432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol! Love this post because I'm sure our husband's would all unite. Speaking of socks, I've been exporting Costco socks for DH and those suckers NEVER get holey! They're the best pair or socks he's ever owned and just won't break down. So now I have a whole new problem -- not holey socks, but too many socks! I've stock piled new ones but the old ones are still soft and perfect so his drawer is overflowing of socks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214410 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:26:07 +0000 mynoahbear 214410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember my mom would mend all the holes in our socks... she'd put the sock over a light bulb and fix all the holes. With DH, I throw all his holey socks away. Since we're in Japan, we always have to take our shoes off and I don't think it's nice if DH has holes in his socks. A lot of restaurants have tatami rooms so you have to take your shoes off too. If we go to visit anyone, we have to take our shoes off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214406 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:17:09 +0000 BoogieBea 214406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've worn holey socks before. The holes are always where my toes are and it feels really uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214401 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:56:20 +0000 Boogs 214401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To me non-holey socks mean I love DH. People at his job do see them often, so I feel like he isn't being taken care of of I send him around looking all scruffy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214384 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:20:19 +0000 mrbee 214384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: your earlier comment was kind of mean tho! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/there-is-nothing-wrong-with-socks-with-holes-in-them#post-214379 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:10:46 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 214379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: good! I was having this same conversation with DH earlier today, so it's funny you brought it up. </p>
