orpheus454 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Inspired by the bloke with the bad bottle of Leo, I'd like to ask for some advice about my own particular problem: I have a hole in one of my socks. Should I get it darned or should I just buy a new pair? What would you do? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman34014 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Did you buy these socks at a local 'Mom and Pop shop' or Robinsons or the like ? Makes a difference in possible ways to resolve the problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payboy Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Make a hole in the other one so you have a matching pair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattayadingo Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Make a hole in the other one so you have a matching pair. And better ventilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 "I have a hole in one of my socks. Should I get it darned or should I just buy a new pair?" It depends entirely on the purchase price (quality) of the socks and the cost of getting them darned. Repairs are only worthwhile when purchase costs are high and labour costs are low. In the West this is no longer the case and so we have a disposable society where hardly anything gets repaired. Here that shouldn't be the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudolus Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 If you did not have a hole in your socks you would not be able to put them on! In trying for action on this, you need to concentrate on the manufacturing error of the other sock whose lack of hole makes it use as a sock not fit for purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bendix Posted January 26, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2012 I blame the Thais. They're idiots, and everyone is against me, and it was never like this in my own country, and I feel really really resentful that some people in Thailand are doing better than me, and some of them are locals, the dam_n cheek, but it's ok because I'm white so I am innately superior to them. Etc etc. Ad nauseum. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattayaParent Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Just cut off one of your feet. You can't beat lateral thinking, eh? The OP is obviously a Cheap Charlie so it's much more cost effective for him to just cut off the toe that is sticking out of the hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryq Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Assume you got the hole here, therefore its a Thai hole , in my view you only have two choices. 1, Look for a shop that sells single socks. 2, If you really don't like it the way the Thais have made a hole in your sock... Go back to your own country . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samran Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 If the hole happened in Thailand, it is very nearly always a case of anti-foreigner sentiment. If it happened back home, then it is of course the fault of the immigrants (paki's mainly, but also those eastern europeans) who do nothing but leech of the system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SimonD Posted January 26, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) Did you get these socks from a vendor outside a beer bar? If so, it just shows the sort of person you are. Another typical 'Thailand sock' sob story. When will people like you realise? There are plenty of good quality, hard wearing socks out there but you go for the cheapest and easiest and then come whining here when it all goes ti_ts up! You deserve everything you get, IMHO.

Now we're getting somewhere, maybe it was the leech that bit into the sock thereby making a hole. This thread is going downhill, we've already had references to "unwanted pregnancy" and "ti_ts up", do you guys read sex into everything !! This is a serious topic. Edit to say if the op is considering darning the hole...do not do it yourself...that would be working !! Edited January 26, 2012 by terryq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
