Ducks and stuffSunday, October 9You know what I hate? When you're wearing socks, and you get one sock wet by, say, stepping onto a bath mat you didn't know was wet, so you're left with one wet sock and one dry sock. So then you have to decide whether to A.) stick it out and just keep wearing the wet sock until it dries, or B.) take off the wet sock and put on another dry sock. But B.) then creates another problem because then you're wearing a dry sock from the pair you put on earlier and a dry sock that comes from a different pair of socks, so the other sock from that pair of socks is left unpaired. What do you do with that lone sock?? All the other socks are paired! (I guess you could have a third option, C.) take off both the wet sock and dry sock and remain barefoot until tomorrow, when you get to change into a new pair socks, but with the colder weather, that's not a good option.) Going back to the lone sock- you could just keep that lone sock in the drawer until the next time you do laundry, and then re-pair that lone sock with the previously wet, now clean and dry, sock. However, if you're not doing laundry for a while, you'll be haunted with the knowledge that there's an unpaired sock lurking in the drawer, just sitting there all useless and increasing entropy in the universe. Plus, there's a chance that your improvised "pair" of socks doesn't match. Here's where a fourth option comes in: D.) take off both socks and change into a new pair of dry socks. Not a perfect solution, because then you know there's a perfectly dry sock in the laundry basket that didn't get a full day's use. But the wet sock's functionality also ended prematurely, so that evens out. Therefore D.) is the best choice, and so I changed both socks. |
