They've got to the socks!
What is it these days with disposablitiy? Everything is disposable, and so everything is meant to be disposed of quickly. Strange logic, I know, but alas it seems to be that way. Even socks are now disposable it seems. Some of my socks are at least 3 years old this Christmas, probably more for some pairs. And yet the ones I got last year, every single one of them, has sprouted holes and thus needed to be disposed of… Why? Is it impossible to make socks that last longer than 2 weeks now? Has some sort of regression in technology left the sock factories using a particularly poor quality pattern? Nope….its just everyone expects to be able to be rid of things quickly…shame on you people, shame on you
