Throw away old socks or put on again?
A withered flower ends up in the compost. Saure milk ends in spout. And an old one sock? It often lands on the foot. Attach or sort out? A few stations from the life of a sock help you with this decision.

Stage 1: arrived
How freshly picked
Her is black and full, she shines and feels heavenly. The stitches nestle on their feet, so the new one quickly becomes a favorite sock. She is the eye -catcher in her drawer, although she can rarely be found. Because they wear the newcomer on every opportunity because they literally hover through the day.

Stage 2: entered
Properly blossomed
After a while on the foot and a few warm -up rounds in the washing machine, the sock really blooms. It no longer smells new, but familiar. The new one accompanies them at every turn and slowly reaches their zenith. Because if you are in use so often, you will soon feel the first signs of wear.

Stage 3: often worn
Now you are blooming the gray mouse
Close shoes, hot laundry, sweaty skin - your sock has to endure a lot. No wonder, she has now lost freshness. The star in the sock drawer has become one of many. Your black is no longer as full as at the beginning. For some socks, reason enough to replace them with a new one.

Stage 4: carried through
She loves me, she doesn't love me ...
If a flower loses its leaves, that's the beginning of the end. The sock is not much better. It starts to litter now. Fibers loosen from the tissue and get stuck on the sock. When she has reached this stage, the point "change socks" should slowly slide up on your to-do list.

Stage 5: failed
When she makes itself thin
A flower that doesn't have much to offer except the stem. A sock that only consists of thin fabric and a few holes. They will definitely dispose of the former immediately. Secondors put on again tomorrow. You don't have to be ashamed. Most people carry socks out to the bitter end.

Stadium 6: And away
Time to Say Goodbye
Are you one of the people who wiltly dry flowers and then put them up in the apartment? Then they will probably not part with their old socks. For everyone else, the following applies: now! The thing on your foot has more holes than color and is an insult to every decent sock. Don't do it for us. Do it for yourself. And treat your sock the long -deserved departure.
