Clothes annoyance

[bunn]

A few weeks ago I bought 2 pairs of jeans (both the same size) and some random socks. After one wash, one pair of jeans is now large and flappy, and the other pair of jeans is skin tight. How are you supposed to know which will do what???

Also, some of the socks have turned out to be those annoying sorts of socks that are fine until you put on wellies, then they fall down and gather irritatingly about your toes. This is why I never have the nerve to do a Pellinor and buy hundreds of identical socks. With my luck I'd end up with hundreds of welly-droopers.

Poor Pellinor. Only a few people are lucky enough to have their name immortalised in common parlance. Some people give us fillings between two slices of bread. Some give us ballpoint pens, or cleaning machines that such up dust. Some, indeed, give us the very Wellington boots that incite socks to be annoying. Pellinor, however, becomes proverbial as a brave but foolish purchaser of thousands of socks. (It started off as dozens, but oral tradition has multiplied the number. By 2011, he'll be famous as the man who bought 13827389 socks all in one go.)

... and in the creation of that legend, it must be acknowledged that you have played your part. :-D
