No, I absolutely loathe socks, something about wearing them feels quite wrong. Textures in general evoke strange reactions from me, as it took years to accustom myself to ignoring them or staying focused on other matters. The same effect of distraction arises from bright light or noises, usually those higher pitched or just plainly loud. Socks are similarly irritating, as well as strange in perception. An odd opinion I hold to be sure, but no, I do not like socks. How many near death encounters have you experienced in life, if any? Legitimate ones, rather than near misses. The sort of things where you dodged the oncoming train by seconds or hear the crack of a ricochet by your head, to the more mundane where you might have only by chance avoided death such as vehicular accidents. Not that the more extreme is better, just an interesting experience to hear of others' recountings and stories. I admit I have several, but wondering just what they were like for others is always a novel concept to me. Apparently they are not as common as I seem to know, at least in person.
