Recycling socks & jocks

jester77

Your house mistress is away for a prelonged trip, could be because she's on hols with the girls (how did she pull that one), visiting her mother or maybe she's not fully house trained and got fed up of you leaving the toilet seat in it's proper position- but she'll be back! In her absence we can get by thanks to the local chippers and Mick the pizza delivery guy. But then comes the inevitable problem of running out of socks and jocks. There is that strange looking tumbling machine in the corner that she uses to freshen them up but I've never found the remote for it as has none of my mates - I guess she carries it with her everywhere.

Normally you would pick the sock & jocks up, give them the sniff test and use them again but how often can you do this? Unfortunately no entrepenuer had had the idea to come up with home sock delivery service yet! Getting off the couch to go into town just to buy socks and jock is IMO not a viable option.

So what do you do here? Perhaps we could turn this into a sticky for future reference!

Turn them inside out.

Nice idea but if you refer to one of the other threads about dying to go for a Barry White, there may be skidmarks which may lead to a dirty chair........although I hear vanish is quite good, providing the missus has it in stock.

When they turn sticky, stop wearing.

Socks - Spray liberally with deoderant / air freshner, or douse in talcom / food powder.

Jocks - always get the darker coloured ones, they last much longer that way:o

I hear you... got a white pair for xmas, still haven't been worn. Would need to be one unprecendented emergency to have to take them out!

when you can smell them through your trousers then change them

assuming you wipe your ass then you could be lucky enough to get 4 wears out of jocks. Inside and out and back to front.

Socks are a tricky beast again its the smell test, if you can smell em all the way from the ground to your nose, give em a shot of lynx or something

failing that go comanndo or wear the girlfriends

It's easier for me to use than the washing machine...

On the way to the bookies* I usually drop my dirty jocks and socks into the Oxfam shop. Some old biddy in there washes and irons them for sale and I buy them back the next day. Three pairs for 20c. Not bad.

*I know going out is a bad thing but they are only two doors down just past the Chinese next door. I had to wait years for this house to come up for sale.

I'd still have a phone account and get the chinese to deliver.

I used to have them on speed dial 1 but I discovered that if I whistled, the dog, lying in his basket of course, would wag his tail against the wall and Mr Wong would hear the banging and come in to take my order.
