Yes
Wear odd socks instead of sorting them into pairs, as my 17 year old says "why must they match"
 
Teach children that it's OK to play outdoors, and that direct sunlight on their skin will not kill them, any more than turning off the X-Box will.
 
Odd socks are the norm in our house.
Has been fof a while now,since the dog chews socks on a daily basis.

Wearing odd socks and not giving a damn what people think about that, is healthy for your state of mind. If you do find you give a damn, you might be respecting more superficial things than the people you admire for being laid back.

Arrrrrrrrrrh ! I went down the road of buying a supply of "identical" black socks from M&S. I now have a drawer full of socks that are all different.

Any man wearing sandals, flip flops, crocs etc. needs shooting.

@ST4 is back! Another mystery resolved :)

Ps. I do like my sandals, no socks and not combined with a suit. And I love my thongs. Perfect comfy summer footwear.
 
That actually happened to me. I call it the cowards shot. And no, I will not provide photographic evidence, nobody would want to see that.
 
Tbh and speaking from experience, the suffering is not that long.

You've been shot in the bum?

Yes, very long time ago. By a friend in an orchid. Hit me in the bum :(

Been shot at a few more times since, but luckily they missed.

They are brilliant, most people I know wear them.

Were you wearing a thong at the time?

Thongs are flip flops- its an Aussie thing.

Another problem - Australia is a great country but the Aussies know it:)

No they are not. Thongs are strips of leather like laces that were used for whipping and tying things up, or items of womens underwear.
Calling them footwear, just like flip flops themselves is just wrong on all levels.
 
My daughters school had very strict rules about uniform and all socks must be black.

She wore odd coloured socks every day she attended (she has left now).

I really don't know where all the odd socks go though. When I moved house a few years ago and sorted through my sock drawer I found twenty three socks from which I couldn't make a single matching pair.

Once a year whether they need it or not (same as underpants).

And the third definition is a light sandal or flip flop. Deal with it. :lol:

Oh yes they are ;) bit of cultural awareness wouldn't go amiss.

I did the same thing but with socks from TM Lewin. They're all stick the same shade of black. I guess M&S quality isn't what it used to be...

My running socks have "left" and "right" on them. So even 2 that match may not be a pair. What fresh hell is this?

Lewins is a good store. I buy mine from Tesco and they are all slightly different shades of black, but I do not care as they were cheap.
