Womens Work?

The problem with socks in our house is Joshua. This kid is now 14 years old and refuses to put his dirty socks in the hamper. I find em under the computer table, stuffed in the couches, in the cellar, on me bed, . . .

I've tried to teach him a lesson by taking his dirty socks and putting em under his pillow. I'm not even sure if he's noticed.:p

I'd leave them on the floor Brian, he may learn when he runs out of clean ones!
 
I have a shoe box full of odd socks; maybe we should arrange some kind of sock swap type amnesty and see if we can pair some up ? I refuse to believe that my washer has eaten about 25 socks and still works !
 
I've got a set of those netting bags (Dunhelm Mill shop - £2.99). I bung all the socks in a bag - and I still find odd ones missing when the wash is done. :confused:

Definitely Emily's sock mate. Being so small it must have got through the small gap between inner and outer drums and was jammed between the inner drum and the drain hole. I was surprised it jammed it as well.

After reading your post about violent women where you live I decided to edit this post and remove my last comment :D : D: D
 
I was just thinking of even more reasons to persuade the girls to go back to using washboards and a mangle:
just think of the advantages:

your "carbon footprint"... a massive cut in the use of electicity.

free exercise..no need to drive to the gym therefore saving more carbon emissions.

A member also said that in the old days women only did the washing on monday's...that's whole day in summer... this could mean 16 hours of daylight in which to wash/mangle dry laundry and I'm sure any man would find a way to firmly fix down a mangle in the back yard so it would not wobble about whilst you are mangling.

PMT... you could take out all your tension when mangling..boxer shorts and stuff.

You're a cheeky git PMSL!!

I know what i will mangle:rolleyes: :D
 
I wish we did have a sock monster who ate them in our house. Instead what we have is a small boy who likes to take his socks off and leave them all around the house. He leaves them in the centre of the living room and the hallway, he also likes to put them in less obvious places so that you can be sat watching tv and notice hidden under the cushion a school sock.

Perhaps we should invent something like the mittens that were attached together by a long piece of elastic that you had to thread up your sleeve round the neck and down the other ... didn't lose one though ... :D

Not sure if would be very comfortable for the men however threading up through one leg, over the 'you know whats' and down the other leg. :eek:
