I don’t think anyone really likes socks as a gift.
My husband actually *loves* getting socks for Christmas. I always get him at least one pair, so I know he’ll be happy. Cross my heart.
You assume that I would buy socks as a gift without being asked? I thought you knew me better than that.
i thought santa brought presents
no i’m just messin wif ya i’m a jew
I like socks as a gift, especially if they’re fun.
it the only thing i ask for christmas from my mother anymore. i go through them like crazy somehow. every time she comes to visit she buys me groceries and socks.
i love socks
i like socks
my boyfriend LOVES getting socks. i like socks too, if theyre cute
Are we forgetting Dumbledore? XD
haha!! thats true!! i forgot about that xD
and im 15
also, i love getting socks, as long as the are totally crazy and knee high
if they hurt your eyes after staring at them for 20 secs, they’re good socks.
I’m 32 years old. If my grandmother was still alive and spent a year hand-knitting me a pair of socks and gave them to me for my birthday, I would punch her in the nose.
What a jerk thing to say. Poor Grandma.
Jerk.
Why?
Uhh… yeah, that’s REALLY going to make people respect you.
Sounds like somebody needs a good stab in the ass from one of Grandma’s knitting needles…
rofl
If I was your grandma I’d punch you right back, punk.
if i was your grandma i capp yo fatass
I’m way over age 26 and still hate getting socks as a gift. Now my dad, he’s always loved getting socks, as long as they’re gold-toes.
Aren’t you zippycat’s dog? Not zippydog.
I think it makes sense… you big bully
If I wrote this, I would have used a lower case d, and I would have said “..you big stinky bully”.
Socks are for wusses!!
If any woman wants a real man look me up!
Wusses have hairless feet!
Any woman want a real hairy man look me up!
Oh my god, yes, I love socks.
I always need new socks. I would hug anyone buying them for me. I can’t wait for my best friend to come back from Korea – she promised to bring me novelty socks. I’m 24.
Socks.
I hate getting socks as gifts, and I’m (barely) over 26. My father hates ‘em, too.
I like getting them myself (crazy ones or tabi from sockdreams), but they’re not really gift material in my mind.
Dude, I need some socks. All mine get holes in them. Is this extremely common for 19-25 yr olds?
If you walk a lot, then yes. That’s what happens to socks, whether you’re 19-25 or 59-65 or whatever. Also if you pull on them too hard when you put them on, they will eventually get holes, too.
Thanks. That post exactly represents, in a single sentence, everything which is wrong with people on the Internet. Oh, wait, I’m wrong. It doesn’t make fun of any technology. If only you had implied that the reason for the innuendo was something like Linux or the iPhone, you would have won the troll of the year award. You missed it by thaaaaaaaat much. Better luck next time.
I read it, and I thought it was funny. Get an attention-span.
I think so…my husband needs all new socks every 6 months or so and I buy him packs of 12 pairs. He is 29 so a little outside the age range but he has always been that way.
I walk a lot and I like getting socks as presents — if they’re GOOD socks. Y’know, not the el cheapo crap you can buy anywhere that wear through in a few months and don’t keep your feet warm in the winter. If you can get ‘em at a department store, they’re probably garbage.
so if time increases linearly on the x-axis we all die at around 30?
No, we don’t.
lol, in an attempt to sound smart, you’ve actually just proved what a morron you are.
Well, Peter, I hate to overstate the obvious, but perhaps you should learn how to spell MORON before using it to berate another person. I bet you drank the cool-aid and voted for Nobama as well. Carry on.
WTF does Obama have anything to do with it? I voted for Obama and I know how to spell moron, moron.
It’s spelled Kool-Aid… there’s no such thing as cool-aid.
what is wrong with drinking kool-aid? it is delicous and refreshing
Socks…more like sucks. You can buy them any time you want…and a good pair can last for years.
I got pajamas for Christmas last year, and I am over 20. They are extremely comfy. People should give comfy things (other than socks)
i got a pair of long underwear for christmas a couple years ago. i wear them all the time in the winter. it gets really cold in minnesota.
I’m noticing an upsurge of flat-out wrong graphs like this one… Is this some kind of hipster-irony? I know I’d certainly rather assume someone forgot to get me a gift at all than to hand over socks–that’s akin to finding a way to put giving someone the middle-finger, putting it into a package and tying it with a bow. It’s insensitive bordering on just plain rude to give socks!
Not everyone thinks that way, as you can see by the varied responses. If you think it’s rude to get socks, I hope you let everyone who may give you a gift in the future know that. Otherwise, someone who may think they’re being sweet and thoughtful might end up being on your sh*t list, and how unfair for that person.
That was a very intelligent response to a very heartless and uncaring comment. Thank you.
Have a free internet.
You’re very welcome.
Well said, Devylan.
I don’t like getting socks either – well, except when my roommate buys me crazy ones I can’t find anywhere else – but the people who buy me gifts know this.
Some people don’t mind socks, or even ask for them outright. It’s not rude if the gift-giver doesn’t know.
Thank you.
I agree… it also may make a difference for girls or boys – my daughter loves cute socks – my son does not appreciate socks as a gift, as I would think probably most boys/men wouldn’t. I mean, how exciting are tube socks. LOL Of course if you NEED them that’s different.
Wow… 26-Death…that is a pretty large age gap there. X-Axis fail.
I’m 14 and I love socks, as long as they aren’t neon pink and flowery (and even then, they make cool puppets for my little sister. xD). ^^
I love getting socks. There are few things that feel quite as good as a brand new pair of socks. Ideally, I’d wear new socks every day.
I actualy need socks, I’m 14… I really did ask my nanny for socks…
You’re 14 and have a nanny?
Underwear, too. The more pairs you own, the less often you have to do laundry.
the horrors of truth, and i actually laughed.
Well, I’m 26 and I hate getting socks as a gift. Not only because I only wear black socks, but also because I can’t stand polyester socks.
Until a few years ago, my parents meant well and brought me a new pair of black socks from time to time. Unfortunately, they always chose the cheapest brand which contained parts of polyester or some other synthetic cr*p. Combine that with sneakers, and you’ve got clammy feet all day. There’s nothing but black, 100% cotton sox…
The sad thing is.. i got a pair of socks for my 17th birthday last week. It was more of a WTF than a “Socks Again?”
Hahaha I looked at the title of this and thought, “hmm I actually could use some socks”
And then, I saw it in the graph.
I’m 26 almost 27…
Im 22 and I began loving sock gifts when I moved out on my own 2 yrs ago.
ANYONE NOTICE THAT THIS GRAPH IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE OTHER WAY AROUND? AS IN IT SHOULD GO DOWN. UNLESS PEOPLE OVER 26+ LOVE SOCKS
That scale is a little off. I don’t need socks.
This graph was clearly made by someone under the age of 26 … I have never wanted socks as a gift.
Ever.
SO 26 IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF MY LIFE????
Yes, look forward to it.
Mwahaha
This graph fails the correct thing to do was start it a gee thanks the flat line all the way
27 years old, pay my own bills and would love if people gave me socks as a gift.
I ALWAYS need socks. Besides the dryer eating them, my daughter is always stealing mine!! I’m 45, btw
Ooh, dirty puppet shows. =P
Actually, the desirability of socks peaks at around 14 for most boys…
i’m thirteen. i love socks.
Dobby likes socks
