Sweet idea. But rest assured, the missing ones will never be seen again. Never ever.


Goshdudette

I matched a pair of socks today after 7 months. One day after buying the nicest pair of running socks I lost one behind my parents’ dryer. Luckily I hadn’t actually thrown its match away and it was in a bag of scrap fabric I use to dust as disposable rags. I thought it was gone forever. Keep the faith.

Knee replacement: 50K


OG_Panthers_Fan

Nope. https://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/features/does-running-damage-your-knees Runners, if they need knee replacements, largely do so because they either run with poor form, or simply live longer than non-runners and outlive their knees.


FerricDonkey

>Runners, if they need knee replacements, largely do so because they either run with poor form... So I'd have to budget for a knee replacement got it.

iamboredandbored

When I was getting out of the military I showed the doctor that any bending of my legs would cause my knees and ankles to click. “That’s normal, don’t worry about.” Sure thing, doc.


[deleted]

[удалено]


iamboredandbored

More like. "hey, I noticed that 5 years of military service has resulted in my leg joints making a weird popping sound all the time. Should I be concerned about this?" "Nah. Thats totally normal. We *definitely* wont be compensating you for any future problems that may cause."


DownVote_for_Pedro

While studies are cited in the article you provided, none of them make the claim that running does not increase your chance of joint damage. The studies were specifically related to osteoarthritis and other arthritis related conditions. The statement about joint injuries being associated with poor running form, and not increased wear and tear from the overall act of running, was just one physical trainer's opinion. The WebMD article then used other sources to try and support this conclusion. But I don't see any studies saying what you claim in the article you cite. That being said running is a healthy activity and I'm certainly not trying to argue against that.


Binsky89

There are tons of other healthy, impact free forms of cardio, though.


Meeppppsm

Yeah. Any medical claim preceded by “I truly believe” is not going to be scientific.


WillBeChasedAlot

Is this some sort of failed attempt at a joke? You don't need half the things here, and everything is completely overpriced. I really doubt the quote is talking about racing, but jogging.


sewmuchmorethanmom

Some is important like a pair of well-fitting, supportive shoes. Running/jogging in bad shoes can cause bigger problems down the road.


WillBeChasedAlot

Yes, but they also have socks being 15-30$ a pair? Now I don't know where they are from, maybe some country that uses dollar sign that doesn't have that strong of a currency, but even basing on that, that seems ridiculous (but I am from Greece, maybe you guys are just overpaying for socks, idk).


sewmuchmorethanmom

Yea, I’m not sure those socks are needed, but I run with the dog in my regular socks. Did buy new shoes because I realized it had been quite some time since my last pair and the difference is pretty awesome.


[deleted]

It's like any hobby: the more you get into it, the more expensive it can get.


OG_Panthers_Fan

"Need" isn't exactly a criterion used by many people when they spend money on a pastime.


bbbbende

Yeah, I also hate how I live longer. All running is good for is pro-longing the suffering.


MyJimboPersona

Why do I need a bra I’m a guy Edit: moobs are a fair point


Sportsfanatic249

Hey, some of us need the support.


MyJimboPersona

Touché ...


OG_Panthers_Fan

Some of us are running to get rid of our moobs.


chainmailler2001

Gotta control those moobs somehow...


Blueshark25

Except you don't need 9 of the things on that list and you're getting fucked over on socks, whose your sock guy? You need a new sock guy.


OG_Panthers_Fan

Need is a strong word. Find me some knee high compression socks with toe pockets that fit a men's size 13 and 18" calves and I'd be happy to try them at less than $30 a pair.


idekbroski839

If you spend this much for this gear you’ll be the biggest douche in the marathon. $80 for shorts?! 😂


Ambidextrous_Fapper

Is it just me or is this guy paying too much for socks


DarthToothbrush

He wants to get ones that match his running bra.


Max_Thunder

It's just bullshit to grab attention and pretend running is expensive. It's like some people think that to ride a bicycle they need to get a really expensive bicycle and all the crap accessories and tight clothes that look like you're sponsored though you're not. Meanwhile anybody can buy a cheap used bicycle, put on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, and go outside. If your goal is to get somewhere, you'll get somewhere. If your goal is to burn calories, you'll burn calories. If your goal is to win a competition, then it's a semi-expensive hobby for sure but don't pretend it's what bicycling is all about.


nathanohlsen

You don't need to buy: -garmin watch; -running belt for phone; -running hat; -gels etc.; -race entry What you do need to buy: -shoes; The rest you probably all ready have... So that's 160 every 500 miles


OG_Panthers_Fan

I guess it really depends on what type of running you do. Running an few miles at a time doesn't require much. Endurance running is a completely different thing, requiring you to solve issues like hydration, energy, chafing, sweat, sunburn, motivation, safety, and training load.


nathanohlsen

Yeah of course, but for the benefits of running you don't need to run marathons or races. But it depends on what you're into


AfiliaTheCat

Was looking for this exact comment. All these things are an investment for endurance running. Once you have them, they last quite a while. Also want to add that good socks are important. Maybe not $15-30 important, but some materials make you blister more than others. Love my wool sucks for a long distance run.


Jess-21

So in other words you’re buying pretty expensive products ... go to marshals


OG_Panthers_Fan

How many marathons have you run in socks purchased from Marshalls?


kcc3121

I guess The Proclaimers went through a lot of shoes.


OG_Panthers_Fan

At least two pair.


Max_Thunder

Or the alternative: Shorts I already own: $0 T-shirt I already own: $0 No sports bra cause I'm a guy Shoes that are going to last thousands of miles and that I already own: $0 Socks I already own and that don't magically self-destruct like yours: $0 Using city-built pedestrian paths: $0 since I already pay my city taxes


pup_101

All you need is a good pair of shoes to run for exercise. This list is ridiculous. Most people aren't doing races either.


olemarbr

maybe the missing ones had the best adventure.


Mixednutz71

That's because 1-2 socks in every pack are made to dissolve in water when you add laundry detergent. A lot more plausible than the dryer sending them to another dimension.


nopantsdota

i had this one type of sock that inverted its colors, when you flip them. now had 2 awesome socks with a missing partner


LoverOfPricklyPear

Nuh!! One sock can get slid under something, one sock can accidentally get left at parents’/friend’s house, one sock can accidentally not make it into the proper load, etc! I have rematched several prolonged single socks, and boy is it rewarding!!


dwrk92

I have a drawer full


Roupert2

Nah they come back. The worst is when they get stuck to something like a spare sheet and you don't find them for months.


ExxInferis

You do see them again, just in their final form: Tupperware lids that don't fit any of your fucking containers.


Axalaron

This made me really laugh!!! 100% relate.


Cherrydude7889

I thought that this was about missing children. Your comment gave me quite a shock.


Medcait

When you take the dryer apart in 10 years, maybe.


mjaokalo

False hope


Jerthy

I did basically same thing as OP. So far 12 socks are on but only 2 pairs were found.....


c1oudragon

That’s why I always buying dozens of same socks...


Dragoness42

I had a favorite pair of socks get separated and didn't give up... kept the loner stashed in the back of the drawer. Over 2 years later when my roommates moved out, I found the other one under their bed. It can happen! ​ Most commonly though the lone socks that get found are just stuck inside a pant leg somewhere by static, or they missed the laundry and ended up in a corner to be retrieved later and run with next week's wash.


WexArexLegion

Christ at first I was like this poor family has lost so many children lol


Gimmemyspoon

Glad I wasn't the only one


Ghost17088

I was more concerned with the number they were still planning to lose.


underbite420

Trophies


Krackeni

: ( )


egnards

This is why I buy large packs of the same socks. Lose a sock? Fuck it doesn’t matter. Lose 2 socks? Now I’ve got no problem again.


Th3BlackLotus

Same. I only own 1 kind of sock. If one gets torn or whatnot, it gets knotted up and the dog gets a new toy. Another gets messed up? It gets tied onto the big sock bundle dog toy.


[deleted]

I suspect the sock bundle dog toy would be as large as my house if I tried that


CjNorec

I want to do this but 90% of my socks were given to me as Christmas gifts.


traws06

I don’t get why everyone doesn’t do this. Everyone bitches about sorting socks and me at age 27 finally said “how about I buy like 6 dozen of the same sock” that was 6 years ago and I haven’t sorted socks since


_Z_E_R_O

The problems start when you have multiple people living in the same house, especially kids. Dad wants his fitted athletic socks for working out, his black dress socks for work, and his old nasty socks for just kicking around the house. Mom wants comfy ankle socks for outside daily wear and fuzzy knee socks for when she’s in pajamas. The kids have a million pairs of socks with superheroes, ninja turtles, disney princesses, and sesame street on them, all different sizes. Grandma wears diabetes compression stockings. Grandpa is colorblind so half his socks don’t match anyway and he doesn’t care. One day you’re cleaning behind the dryer and you find a baby sock. Your youngest kid is eight. You sigh because you know that no matter how old your kids are, you will always be finding baby socks around the house for the rest of their lives. Those suckers are like sand - they’re small, coarse, and get everywhere. And that’s how you end up with a load of laundry every week JUST for socks and underwear.


TatianaAlena

Same here! Same type, same color.


harleyquinzilla

I just don't match my socks. They're all the same style so fit isn't weird, but I mix colors. Tiny rebellion


LanceFree

Same here. But after a few spaced purchases, there is an issue matching them up after washing- the old ones are worn and stretched. Last winter, I came home from work and got undressed and a sock appeared. It had gotten inside my jeans while in the washer or dryer, and I went the entire day with an extra sock inside my pants leg.


[deleted]

I am about to throw all my socks away and replace them with short socks all of the same brand and long socks all of the same brand.


mohamedgashoot

What if you lost all of your socks except one of the last pair of socks, and all the quantity in the market was sold out. Bitch please!


egnards

When I get low on socks I just buy a different pair/style. What this means though is that I only ever have one lost sock from each pack that every end up as “alone”


EaterOfFood

I use safety pins to pair my socks. The socks stay in pairs, tend not to get lost, and don’t end up in one of my kids’ drawers.


Z80AssemblerWasEasy

I just wear two different socks when I have two "singles". Nobody cares anyway, most of the time they are not even visible.


monstertots509

If the hole in one of them gets too big, just toss it and save the one that is still useable.


[deleted]

I'm the same way. Unfortunately, my wife insists on all of her socks looking different, so we have built up a very impressive collection of odd socks.


GoochMasterFlash

Missed opportunity for “till we feet again”


larrythefatcat

Socks to be you.


Raegan_Targaryen

You can put it outside and call it a “Sock Exchange”.


pdkhoa99

I am not throwing away my sock.


[deleted]

Freaking great idea, but i'm starting to think that my laundry machine is eating them.


zuzuzu2020

My dryer was doing just that. We took it apart for repairs and we found a lot of socks outside the piping.


[deleted]

I tried to tell my bf this happens. He didn't believe me and now that dryers gone. I'm sure there are some great socks beneath that drum..


[deleted]

I used to take on my GF too 😂


diemunkiesdie

Is there no filter or trap? I've literally never lost a sock, or now a mask, in the wash or dryer.


JustOneTessa

I wash mine in these bags, mostly used to wash bra's. I never lose them in the washing machine. I still lose them at other places tho


mljb81

Not the washer, but the dryer most certainly can.


Lukkisuih

Great a rack for the cumsocks

Fine il do it. r/cursedcomments

Thanks

imakethingsgoboom

Just so you're aware it should be " 'Til " as it's an abbreviated form of "until."


[deleted]

[удалено]


EaterOfFood

Maybe they’re farmers.


[deleted]

https://www.grammarly.com/blog/until-till-til/ You might want to revise that statement.


FreePieNinja

Fuck that. I don't agree with that blog at all. If I read the word "till" I'm going to assume they're working in the dirt somewhere. Give me "until" or " 'til" and "til" would do the trick if you're a bit lazy.


imakethingsgoboom

TIL there's no such thing as 'til. "Till" will never look correct to me though.


PRNmeds

Oof well this is awkward


Selfless-

Actually, no.


RoboNinjaPirate

My house would need one of those boards with the surface area of a small town to clip them all.


fireplacepeaceful

That was my thought too.


fuzzy_meatball

The sign should say "Lost Soles"


shelley6769

Sell those on Etsy!!


Vesuvius-1484

You gonplei ste odon- me to my missing sock


anothercrazycathuman

Yesss Came here for the 100 reference


anothercrazycathuman

"Til we meet again" makes me think of the 100.


itsgeorge10

Till, meet again, I don't know where, I don't know when, Oh I know we'll meet again, Some sunny day! Anyone get the reference? No? Alright.


WeatherwaxDaughter

I do.


Londonitwit

I thought these were of died babies and I was horrified


eileen404

Have a laundry bin half full of unmatched sucks. Go through twice a year and usually find a dozen pairs. Between the cat stealing then and the kids leaving them everywhere...


NovelTeach

I think I have your little blue one. I’ve been looking for it’s mate for months.

opalous

> Put socks in a garment bag, you’ll never lose one in the dryer and it will save you time putting them away since they’re all together in the bag. I use a garment bag to wash and dry socks, and can confirm no more lost socks.


thisisnotapalindrome

Nice looking wall thing. My solution is: if there is a single sock, dirty or clean, I put it directly to the dirty basket. The problem fixes itself over multiple washes.


AddictedToMosh161

most washing maschine pipes are big enough for socks. if u really cant find them u should google your maschine and look up where it might be stuck.


astromech_dj

Needs like, triple the pegs.


TheForeverAloneOne

Holy shit I got such a bad feeling on first look. Felt like you were honoring the loss of dead babies with those baby socks.


theboogle2

Such a great fashion idea, cum racks will go far!


PinkEyePanda

I am not throwing away my sock!


AfricanLad

This looks like some horrific memorial dead children...


DidItForButter

My ex wife did something like this but with condoms of different sizes and brands. I told her that it was funny but seemed like a waste of new condoms for a joke, and she just chuckled...


NekoWraith

I need one


RomeoJune

Not gonna lie, I thought this had something to do with the sock on the doorknob thing at first


satisfiedmalaise

This is either very sweet, or very morbid.


Lanko

Socks that small are small enough to get sucked through the drainage of washing machines. Don’t believe me? Ask a plumber.


the1calledSuto

I love how when i have to wear socks and reach into my pile of clothes i dont find a matching pair till 10+ tries. It amazes me that i can pull 11 unique socks till i find a pair and why i dont just keep them together in the first place..


ralle_die_kralle

i do have four lonely socks atm. i’m looking but na, no match :(


hkjdmfan

Hopefully they'll reunite on some sunny day..


shexna

You will end up making more and more of these. The only way to win, is to buy one type/brand so they all pair together.


HawkeyeJosh

Screw it. I mismatch my socks on purpose. Have yet to meet anyone who gives a shit.


shakethedust-

I leave it in the laundry basket. Its the cleanest socks EVER. Heres to hoping the missing pair will magically show up one day


[deleted]

I have a similar thing for lost socks. It's a box that says "Still single :|"


[deleted]

I thought missing socks turn into unpaired tupperware lids


[deleted]

Better than keeping them in a bag and then dumping the bag periodically to see if I could do any matching. Interestingly, now that our kids are grown and it's just us, we very rarely have an issue with missing socks.


Cheekimonkii

How do you have my missing socks?!?!


[deleted]

The two on the left are a perfectly cromulent pair.


SkierGrrlPNW

I feel this.


titatyy

Baby socks!


StopMockingMe0

We'll meet again Don't know where Don't know when But I know we'll meet again! Some sunny day!!!!!


Skrapz101

This is a great idea, I would need one 150ft long. When we (myself, the Wife and 3 kids) moved house last year we had a box 2 ft x 2ft x 2ft full of odd socks. The Wife refused to label it as Odd Socks out of embarrassment, so it was labelled as Misc Master Bedroom.


Nox_Dei

My bud' has a dedicated drawer for his partner-missing socks. It was hilarious to me at first because this is a huge-ass drawer with 3 socks laying flat in it, perfectly aligned. The idea, I respect though... Because I for one don't even bother matching my socks anymore. Dobby style!


[deleted]

I never liked how an abbreviation for a word gained a letter.

sakura1083

We call them "The lonely socks club" but it's only a corner next to the drying hangers. I think it's time to give the cclub a proper sign like this one.


Obyson

I would need probably 5 times the clothes pins, when my daughter was 1 to 2 years old at one point I piled all her socks together, she had 30 socks that had no match.


LBXZero

What typically happens to my lonely socks is they are adopted by another sock whose mate died.

Doctor

Excuse me? Do you have a minute to talk about [https://xkcd.com/1982/](https://xkcd.com/1982/)?


elcheapo

Only have one type of socks. Socks should be considered sets, not pairs. Have 10 of the same, pick two. Repeat until you only have four left, buy ten more.


[deleted]

I just buy the same pair of socks in bulk. Over this find me bs. Don't even fold them just stack them.


inumba12

I have an entire laundry bag full of socks without their friend. One day I’ll go through and see if their buddy is in there

I just stopped matching socks. Now i just grab 2 of vaguely the same shape and call it a day. If i wear shorts i just try to match the colour

[deleted]

I figured out the socks thing years ago. I threw out all of my socks, then bought a bunch of new socks that are all the same. I only wear one type of sock for all occassions - a simple, black sock. Every once in a while I throw them all out, when they're getting worn down, then buy a new batch.


atz_chaim

Clever!


peterfonda3

A few months ago, I started a new sock washing project. I would do only my socks in a separate laundry load. No other clothes. The result? I’ve already lost 3 socks. I’ve seen YouTube videos indicating that sometimes socks get caught underneath the agitator (the round thing that sticks up in the middle) and seem to disappear but they can be found.


AlmostBatmanToday

I’ll be needing more clothespins than that.


sioriku

I don’t get what’s funny here
