This puts a whole new meaning to the phase "Sock it to me, Sock it to me"

Abby, rest assured that the sock will probably be there until you cave, demand or embarrass someone into picking it up!

I tried this approach, and like you I thought eventually someone surely would pick it up.....It didn't happen!

new club idea....MAPUS... Mom's against picking up socks (you can also replace the word socks with the word sh*t)

You could put a marble in the sock. Next time someone steps "on" it, there will be something there to bite back. It may just make them look down.

I think you definitely need a live "sock cam".

I assume you have no resident cats? (cats do move things of course)

This is too damn funny!!!!

Faery, I have tears rolling down my face...and I'm at work and have to go to a meeting!!!

I think this is gonna be the most happenin' thread on here. I know I'll be checking everyday for updates.

A friend of mine, with 3 kids, used to throw everything left lying around behind the couch. The kids would be freaking, "Where's my shoes? I'm gonna miss the bus". She was so cool, had that 'Oh Well' attitude. Now one of her daughters is living with her fiance and she told me she throws all his lay around stuff under the bed. It made me laugh.

Okay, Abby, I'm going to have to report you to A-FEETS (Association For the Ethical EquitableTreatment of Socks). We simply can't have you abandoning that sock to the elements; and not taking care of its basic needs, simply to make your point. Does the sock have adequate food and water? Companionship? A little bitty remote and TV set? We'll be sending a representative your way to check out the sock living conditions, and making a full report.

<tee hee>

Abby this is too funny....and Faery's hubby took all my best suggestions.....other than placing a small sign around Abe's neck similar to the ones on milk cartons..."Help me get back home" The trick would be to do it in really small letters so the family has to bend over to read it....then the real experiment begins.....who reads and walks away!!!!!Not wanting to start a sterotyped war or anything, but my bet is on anything with high amounts of testosterone. The gene for picking up after is directly linked to low amounts of testosterone.

Wap - I love that idea! Maybe we could post a pic of the sock on one of the milk cartons in Abby's house.... something like:

missing since July 7
about 8 inches tall

My ex used to leave socks lying around the house, I treated them as garbage, as I did anything just lying around and threw them out. Eventually he noticed he was half out of socks and began taking much better care of them!! LOL
Luckily my daughter learned early, anything that matters belongs in its place and so I never had to pick up after her, she was and still is extremely organized and responsible for her stuff..don't know about the ex tho. :-))

how many days has the sock been there so far?
we need to mark our calendars...

faerygdds- wasnt your husband the one with funny band names too? hes a riot.. get him on here...

and sorry to be a party pooper but i am kinda not thrilled with the comments about males here.
my hubby finally got tired of watching me trip over my poland springs sports bottles and has begun picking up after me.. you would need multicams to keep track of the stuff i leave around here, much to his chagrin, and last time i checked i did not see any evidence of high testosterone on me....ok, i will get off the soapbox and let the fun continue, but lets make it fun for the guys to be here too... ok?:)

Oh Abby, what an excellent idea for us ALL to take out our frustrations regarding the SOCK!! LOL!

I like the idea of tossing them in the trash (I might just start doing that myself )

Fantastic, funny experiment and great thread!! Lemme add, tho, ditto feelings on the sexism. My ex-hubby was a neat, fairly tidy guy and was constantly having to pick up my laundry from wherever I had tossed it. Socks were my most commonly "left in the hall" item, too!

UPDATE: DAY 11 OF SOCKWATCH 2002!!


It's still there. Although it is about a foot farther down the hall and is kind of folded over on itself. Looks like someone may have tripped over it.

At Buttercup's suggestion, I will be decorating Abe the sock for all holidays, and will really go all out for Christmas. I may do him up right, and give him a place of honor on the mantle! Now wouldn't that look spiffy??

I swear if that sock is still there at Christmas, heads are gonna roll
