Anal - Yes Or No?

[joggerjayne]

I've got a "set" of socks (yeah, yeah, I know) from the men's bit of Next or M&S or somewhere.

It was a pack of seven pairs with the days of the week on the bottom of the foot.

Whenever I wear them, I think it would look a bit anal to wear the socks for the correct day. So ...

I make a point of avoiding the socks for that day.

But then I wonder ... is it equal anal to rummage through the drawer to find some socks with a different day on them.

Just to make things worse, I also avoid the socks with the previous day written on the bottom, in case it looks like I'm still wearing the socks I had on yesterday, lol.

And now I'm posting on the web about my stupid socks. Aaaaaagghhh!!!

Anal? Yes or no?

[DTCwordfan]

my vote is yes.....also, your thread title will get Sqad sweating, I am sure.

[B00]

oh thank God!

Sooooo not what I thought this thread was about!

Far too early to activate the ban button, not got the energy to wind the elastic band up for it yet.

I think you've got too much time on your hands.

In this house you are lucky if you can find a clean pair that match.

I know its early, brain not functioning that well - but I did read the question as a kind of open invitation rather than a question ;)

And er, in answer to your actual question - Very... :)

No one could be accused of being anally retentive if they carefully matched a sock from the Tuesday pair, say, with one from another day.
Why, doing that could make one be considered positively Bohemian

[murraymints]

Jj.....calm down...deep breaths....can't you just get plain socks ?

[joggerjayne]

sqad would get most sweaty if he wore two pairs of socks at the same time.

[Ellesbells]

phew.....its about socks... wondered what sort of place I had wandered on to then.......lol

[joggerjayne]

Bohemian odd socks?

Next thing, I'll be drinking coffee and pastis in Parisian cafes with Sam Beckett.

If he wasn't dead, obviously.

[cazzz1975]

[joggerjayne]

OMG !!!

I've just noticed the "related questions" ...

And the top one is entitled "anal bleeding"

#marvellous

[humbersloop]

that washing machine must've cost a bloody fortune

[sandyRoe]

bleedin' marvellous the juxtaposition of questions we can see on here :-)

[Sqad]

Anal? Anal? What has that got to do with the wearing of socks?

[murraymints]

We thought that would bring you out sqad !! Lol xxx

[wendilla]

The mind boggles

[commoner]

I have two pairs if socks with left and right on them...a gift from my grand kids...I always wear them correctly except when the kids are around...they truly believe I don't know my L from my R ...they love it when I put two left ones on. He he!

I also have a set of seven cut throats which I used to use regularly in the right order....gone electric now though..my old hands are unpredictable....mmmm....

[stewey]

I agree with Sqad. What do people really mean when they use the term "anal" as in "anally retentive", or some other construct? To me, "anally retentive" is a posh word for constipation.

[rowanwitch]

Not anal just a socks maniac get some new ones without the days on a one off purchase to solve the problem... otherwise its a bit OCD

[lady-janine]

bung them in the drawer loose and then just get two socks out and put them on whatever they say. as the days are on the bottom of the socks who sees them besides you?
