We all know those things that are in our top drawer of our dresser that stand between our stinky feet and our stylish shoes, but some of us have an utmost love for those wonderful things called socks. Below are the symptoms of a Sockaholic to be evaluated for self-diagnosis...
1. You own more than 30 pairs of socks in an array of different colors, lengths, designs, and fabrics.
2. When someone gives you a new pair of socks, you immediately have the biggest smile on your face and want to try them on ASAP.
3. You cannot walk into any Target without buying a single new pair of those cute socks they have with the craziest designs, like chicken legs, mopeds, or ice cream cones.
4. You find yourself with an assortment of socks to wear in celebration of different holidays such as Halloween, Christmas, St. Patrick Day, or even smaller celebrations, such as the days of the week.
5. You are enraged when you finish folding laundry to discover that something in the laundry room ate just one of your socks, and you will never be able to complete that pair again.
6. When you lose one of the socks in the laundry room, you secretly keep the one sock in hopes that the end of number five isn't actually true, and you will indeed find that one sock one day, so you must save the one you still have for when that day comes.
7. You know exactly which sizes at which stores will fit your feet the most comfortably, so that when it comes time to buy socks, you don't have to waste time looking at sizes.
8. When you go on an extended trip, you often find yourself bringing home more pairs of socks than you had packed originally.
9. When anyone stays over at your house, and they forgot to bring clothes, you automatically know without looking that even if you don't have any clothes that would fit them that you're more than likely able to provide them with a clean pair of socks for the day.
10. You have an entire drawer dedicated to socks only. There will be no mixing undergarments and socks together, because there is simply not enough room in one drawer.
If you possess more than five of these symptoms, you are indeed a Sockaholic. Being a Sockaholic is a lifelong diagnosis, however, being a Sockaholic is not a life threatening diagnosis unless left untreated. The most effective cure for a Sockaholic is self-treatment... you should immediately go to the store or online and treat yourself. For more information, please seek advice from a fellow Sockaholic.
