I Love my husband. He is an amazingly wonderful man. We each have our quirks and things that we do to annoy each other, but this is my blog so I get to complain about it here all I want….What’s up with the stupid black socks stuffed into the couch! Enough with the socks already!!!!
I do my best not to pick on my husband on this site….sometimes I fail. This is one of those times. As I write this, I am staring at a pair of my husband’s black socks stuffed into the couch cushions. Why are they there you ask? I have no idea why, but for some reason he comes home from work, sits on the couch and proceeds to take off both of his socks and stuffs them into the couch. I honestly don’t think he knows he is doing it sometimes! I think it’s just habit at this point, but sometimes it is just embarrassing. Can you imagine what would happen if a guest came over to our home, sat on the couch only to find socks stuffed into the couch? Kind of gross right???
There are many things about his come home routine that burns my britches…but this is the worst. It’s not the shoes right in front of the door…those are easily picked up…..it’s not the tie hung over the kitchen chair…..I can move it out of the way…..it’s those stupid socks that mock me day after day! Even when I think I have picked up today’s socks…fast forward to a few days later when I am moving pillows only to find another mystery pair of socks laughing at me saying “HAHAHA you didn’t see me before!”
So this is my cross to bear…I am not sure how to fix it…harping about it gets me nowhere….I could ignore it but that will leave me with a weeks worth of socks to clean up on Saturday….so it seems that I will just take it day by day….and if you happen to know my husband….help me out and tell him to clean up his socks!
I am WITH YOU!!! This is hysterical bc my husband leaves his nasty, smelly, worn-all-day socks on the couch at night too! (But, he doesn’t stuff them into the cushions, he just leaves them on the couch for me to put in the hamper)
They are ALL alike… I should continue to list the dumb “guy” stuff that he does so we could compare… HAHAHAHA!
What is it with these men??!! Glad to know I’m not alone!:)
LOL! Too funny!
I have the same issue here…. when my husband gets home from work he gets as far as the kitchen and undresses leaving me to pick up his work clothing. I try to leave it, but I can’t….. I sometimes wonder if I do leave it will it just continue to accumulate or will he pick it up later…. the answer I assume I will never know…. As far as the sock thing, Kenny knows I hate when he takes his socks off all over the house, I wish he would just put them in the laundry basket. So, what he finds funny is (Kenny hates black socks) to take his white socks off and does not stuff them into the couch, but makes them into a baseball and throws them in places that I need to get down on the ground to get.. like behind the computer or behind the couch!!! MEN!!!! Gotta love em!!!
Oh my god….so freakin funny!
I don’t know why my husband can’t pick up his socks and put them in the hamper. Seriously, how hard is that?
Don’t bother the pretending to ignore the socks/clothes – we don’t notice them!
This is true…I would only be spiting myself if I tried to ignore them….That leaves me with very few options..
I had this same issue, sort of, mine liked to just take them off and leave them on the floor next to the couch. Not the same as stuffing them in there, but I still have to touch socks. Or what was worse was he’d leave them lieing around and then one of the dogs would find them and make a chew toy out of them. We were going through a lot of socks. Until I got a little basket, stuck it in the coffee table (like between the glass top and the shelf where you put magazines and stuff) and asked him, if you’re not going to get up and put them in the laundry basket in the bedroom, could you at least keep them off the floor by putting them in that little living room laundry basket? And it worked! Bit of a compromise, obviously I would prefer if they made their way into the regular laundry basket, but if all I have to do is empty his living room laundry basket once or twice a week, and I don’t have to touch his nasty socks, its a solution I can deal with ?
What a great idea!!! Then you only have to make one trip up with the basket! Good call!
Stopping from SITS! My husband leaves his sock on the floor at the front of the bed. I am not sure why. Eventually they appear in the hamper.
My fiance collects coasters from restaurants. I keep telling him to do somehting with them, but somehow they always end up on my floor, in my dresser or under my bed.
This socks thing is very odd… I say keep nagging him to pick them up himself. It’s not fair that you should have to do it! Not to mention gross.
When my brother first got married his wife would complain to my mother that he dropped his clothes all over the floor. My mother told her to throw them away if he did that. So she did. Fast forward a few weeks and he says to his wife, “Where is my Calvin Klein white shirt?” She says, “I threw it away.” He was shocked but she said my mother told her to do it. A week or so later he asks for another shirt and got the same response. It didn’t take long before he started putting his clothes in the laundry hamper.
Happy SITS Day!
Cheers ?
