Anyways they're all packaged up folded on little plastic hangers and a paper sleeve. A waste of materials if you ask me. But here's the weird thing - they're sewn shut! and it's not a little basting stitch you can pull or rip out easily with your fingers; it's a durable button-stitch done with tough red thread. I just opened a pair to put them on, and when I attempted to rip the stitching open it did more damage to the sock than to the red stitching. Now I have a sock I can wear, but there's a red thread sewn across one side, and a hole in the other side.
Why would a sockmaker sew my socks shut?
And why do they put stickers on the fruit at the grocery store. I hate that.

So you can peel them off and add them to your collection on the side of your pc, of course!
i used to do this as a kid... kind of... i would put sock in a pocket of a sweatshirt i bought, or another tshirt in the sweatshirt hand-warmer pouch...
youll notice it on pants, some shirt pockets, and i guess now socks..
where i come from, people used to actually stuff drugs in them, someone would come and get them, and leave money in replace of the drugs... all in a pair of socks... honest.
"just say NO" to open socks
In the UK we often wonder why the water goes down the plug hole the opposite way to Australia, it's the same principle with your socks.
If you knew anything about sowing you might be able to see that the sewing stitches were the opposite way round to the norm. This would prove that they were manufactured the other side of the world. For further confirmation of this theory, you might also look at the label on the socks - it's probably written upside down.
Be very careful if you use condoms
Especially if they are the kind that have been stitched together
i hear dress socks provide better pleasure.
