Poll question: How many times, per day, do you change your socks?
Okay, heard from someone that 4 sock changes per day is the norm. Now, this person isn't in the type of business that might require this. Not a firefighter, nor does this person slog through a swamp all day. I don't get it. Maybe it's me, and I don't do a sock "line change" often enough. Help me out here, please?

1. Twice. One pair for the gym, one for normal use.
Now, if I come home and take the 2nd pair off, and then go out again later, I use a fresh pair. My feet tend to sweat. :puke:

3. twice due to workouts
but it has been so warm here lately that I wear flip flops most of the time (except when I'm in the gym of course).

4. Apparently I'm a freak.
Good to know you're discussing my freakish sock changing habit with 80K of our closest friends. :eyes:

5. Yes, you are.
But not for the sock thing.

Besides, at least 10k of those 80k are either tombstoned Freepers or just don't come around anymore.

Such drama...such a diva. Besides, I never suggested it was you. You outed yourself. SCA (sock changers anonymous) needs a call from you...

6. Well really, who else would you discuss something that inane with?
I'm not ashamed of my sock-swapping ways, you stinky-toed two pair a day heathen you.

7. My middle name is "inane" as you should already know.
Gosh, 8,000 plus posts of inane, as a matter of fact.

10. Not really
More like 2,000 posts of good AR stuff, another 1,000 or so of political content and 5,000 posts of oversexed innuendo. ;)

15. She's not athletic, so you're safe.
From what she's said, she probably throws like a member of the Lollipop Guild on crack.

19. Just stand directly in front of her.
You're safe. Those folks 8 feet away, off to the side and unrelated to the incident...beware!

17. I have a decent arm on me
Edited on Sun Jan-01-06 09:37 PM by LeftyMom
but no stamina because of my asthma, so I'd suggest running away from the barrage of hosiery.

8. 2-4 times
depends how many times I go out.

I hate wearing shoes & socks. So the minute I come home, I take them off. I hate them so much the socks don't even make it past the mud room - I have a basket I throw socks in 2 feet from the garage door so I don't have to wear them a second longer than possible. If they bother me too much, I'll take them off on the way home from work at a red light and drive home barefoot. Sometimes I get three or four pairs of socks piled up on the floor of my car.

If I go out shopping, walking, whatever, I use a fresh pair.

18. Damn. Twice a DAY?
How about once every other day, if I don't stink them up?

Your laundry bill must be HUGE if you're changing your socks more than twice a day.
