On the topic of socks with holes in them....

When you put on a pair of socks and notice that one of them has a hole in it, do you take it off and throw it away, or continue wearing it? If it's a tiny hole, I will wear it and throw it away at the end of the day.

I take them off and throw them away, once I didnt bother and my eldest saw I had a hole in it, she spent the whole day telling everyone that mummy had a hole in her sock, seriously its less hassle to change them !

Like when my son came into the changing room with me and then spent the rest of the shopping trip singing "Mommy's got purple under wear" LOL...

I know that must have been embarassing, but it is soooo cute!

If it is just a tiny hole then I will still wear it. I have a few socks that I have actually sewn up the hole and I still wear them. If it is a big hole then I will take it off and throw it away.

If I could actually sew, then I might attempt to fix a small whole. Unfortunately, the sewing gene skipped a generation in my family.

BTW-I meant to type "hole" not "whole". Sorry, it has been a hellish week.

I don't throw them away but I can't stand wearing socks with holes in them. Socks have lots of other uses beyond footwear.

That's true, I guess I could turn my socks with holes into them into cleaning rags or something similar.

I will discard them and find a new pair.

I continue wearing it and one hole is not enough to throw them away.

We all have our little quirks. As for me, I have to wear white socks, no matter what.
