Friday Question #46
When you take your socks off, do you always use your hands to do it, or do you ever your feet?
Yes! Another foot-related question! Let me explain.
On Sunday night, I went to bed with my socks on because I was so cold. I rarely do this because I always end up with them off anyway. I asked Steven what percentage chance he thought that I would still have my socks on when I woke up (he thought 2%).
Then he asked me, “Do you get up in the middle of the night to take them off?”
“No! I use my feet to take them off while I am sleeping!”
“Who uses their feet to take their socks off?!”
“Everyone!”
“No they don’t!”
You get the idea. I had to demonstrate to Steven how it is done (you can either stand with one foot on the floor and use the other to stand on its sock from the front and pull the foot away so the sock comes off OR, if you are talented like me, you can bend your toes and use them to hold the back of the socks while you pull the other foot out). Then he continued to tell me that everyone uses their hands to remove their socks and I am just strange. So that is where the question came from!
(And they WERE still on when I woke up!)

I use my feet a lot. So does Mr. Savy. 🙂 I just can’t put them back ON that way.
I hate socks…
I wear sox to bed almost every night in the winter, and they are almost always off by morning…and I use my toes to remove them. Maybe it’s a girl thing? 🙂
I have the same problem with Katie. She takes her socks off in the middle of the night, too. Presumably with her feet. I don’t find it weird that she uses her feet to take them off as I do that, too. It’s just the matter of finding stray socks near the foot of the bed when we actually go to make it.
Lately, because I’m so cold, I also have been wearing my socks to bed- I can shimmy them off with my feet in the night. Sometimes I find them under the sheets when I make the bed 🙁
Put me on the list of people who use their feet. I think maybe those who DON’T are the weird ones!
You guys sound just like me and my husband! I take them off with my feet when I wear them to bed. I usually wake up with one off and one on. Now, if I’m taking them off with sneakers then I use my hands.
i love your friday questions!!! and your conversation with Steven is hilarious!!! you two just crack me up!!! if i take my socks off with my shoes then i use my hands, even though i don’t use my hands to take my shoes off… but if i sleep with socks on, like you, normally they’re not on my feet in the morning and i’m guessing i take them off with my feet… i must say though, my feet are pretty talented, i taught myself how to peel a banana with my feet… (wow, did i really just admit that?!?!)
=^..^=
I take my socks off with my feet. I can use my toes to do it as well. Looks like Steven is in the minority here!
I’m capable of taking them off with my feet, but typically I take them off with my hands because my socks are supposed to be washed inside-out. Also, it helps keep them from getting stretched out.
ok for me its, if I’m not in bed (i.e. standing) I just my hands. If I go to bed with my socks on and then want to take them off, I use my feet.
Nope, never done it before. By the way, here’s my first entry…http://www.nitasrandomthoughts.info!
I use my foot and my toes. I stand on the toe of one sock and pull my foot out, or hook my toes in the back of the sock and drag them off. So tell me, can you also pick items up with your feet? Yes, I can! And my husband thinks it’s weird. : )
using your feet would take way too long unless you have loose socks, eww.
hands all the time (these questions are beginning to make me think that I’m a little uptight about my feet) stop it lol
I can and do pick them up with my feet though, I’ve been called strange before, not for that but it has been said. 🙂
Kyra – Hey! We should work on that 😉
grgngirl – I hear you! I only wear them in the winter when it is super cold. Otherwise, I like to be FREE! Thanks for visiting!
Cat. – Maybe. I don’t have many male commenters! How will I ever know?!?!? 🙂
kapgar – I can never find mine! They always get all bundled up in the sheets, then go into the washer, the I finally find them when they come out!
jQ – Don’t feel bad! That is where I find mine too!
Odie – I like the way you are thinking about this 😉
Amy – So you guys have stupid conversations, just like us? 😛 i mean… interesting! Not stupid 😉
CourtneyInControl – YOU CAN PEEL A BANANA WITH YOUR TOES? That is so funny!
Robin – Heh heh heh. So far, so good!
claire – Whoops! I didn’t know that! I guess you learn something new everyday 😉
Gina (Mannyed) – I am going to have to see if that is what I actually do too. Maybe the feet are just used in the bed?
Nita – So that is one for “no feet”!
Denise – I DO THAT TOO!!! Steven thinks it is so weird! My sis does it too!
de – What is wrong with loose socks? 😛
FREAKS! Especially you with the freak toes that operate like fingers! You know who I’m talking to…
yes, i suppose i should be proud to say i can peel a banana with my feet!!! sometimes it’s quite “handy” when you can use your feet and not your hands, ow, i know, that was bad. lol
HAHAHA!!! Steven i think you might be jealous of my feet that can also double as hands for quite a few things (sometimes it’s convenient having feet that can double as hands!)!!! lol!!! your comment cracked me up!!!!
=^..^=
Steven – It takes one to know one 😉
CourtneyInControl – I think it just is a jealousy thing 😉
hmm, did my comment not go through?
i’m SHOCKED that so many people are with you on this one… i’m definitely on steven’s side! i’ve never taken off my socks w/my feet before 😉
Alice – WTF is up with comments?! ARG!!! I am happy to hear someone else is a weirdo like Steven! Just kidding 😛
Mostly with my hands, but if I’m wearing ankle socks, I use my feet most of the time. Most of the time, they come off when I slip off my shoes.
martymankins – So, that’s one more to use their feet. Ha!
I use my feet, usually because I go to sleep with them on and sometime during the night they come off 🙂
Felicia – How do people even keep them on in bed? That is what I need to find out!
