If I Wear Matching Socks, My Parents Will Die In A Car Crash

Post Reply New Topic

I try to turn the holes so where my toesies don't stick out.

One of the socks I'm wearing at the moment has a hole where my big toe keeps popping out. If spouse spots it she'll throw them out. What's wrong with a little ventilation.

aren't you afraid your big toe will catch a little cold?

Then...why do YOU care?
Start wearing matching socks, AND start going out of your way to step on cracks NOW!

Maybe I shouldnt joke about it. Sorry to hear that your relationship with your mother is so nonfunctional.

In all fairness I do have one superstition like that, but it rarely rarely effects my life much.

One day I was late to work or something-couldnt find parking- and out of desperation I glanced at the empty handicapped spaces in the shopping center. As I contemplated useing one of them this sudden image flashed through my mind of: Zeus, or God as he looks on the Cistine Chapel. An old man stroking his beard while watching me, and thinking "ohhhh...he wants to be able to park in handicapped parking spaces, does he?. Okay, I'll make it so he can have the freedom to do that". And then he tosses a lightening bolt at me, and I end up permanently crippled in an accident. And...because Im crippled- Im able to legally put a handicapped sticker on my car and use handicapped spaces from then on. Kinda like the "Monkey's Paw" story about wishes coming true, but in a hideous way that you wouldnt want. This momentary mental image scared the living crap out of me. So I drove away and found legal parking farther away from my destination. And I'm still scared to death to park in handicapped spaces because of it years later. But its not something that affects me constantly, and it stops me from doing something thats obviously wrong to do anyway. So I kinda like that superstition.

Haha, I'm like that with calling in sick for work because one time when I was young I called in sick and got really sick.

auntblabby - I copied that toe thing down for our Blabbyisims book~

Oh yuck, that feeling when my big toe pops through a hole in my sock (I'm tactilely hypersensitive) is one I cannot abide.

can you just wear tube socks that allow you to spin the sock away from the hole by your toe?

This is silly.

Everyone knows that people who aren't handicapped but use handicapped parking spaces don't have anything bad happen to them...

Until they're on their deathbed. They, they're eaten savagely in their last moments of life by imported European wolverines (American wolverines in Europe) that instantly vanish the moment their work is done.

My balloon collection told me.

I liked the story about not parking in a handicapped space, because then God would "make" you handicapped. It's all superstitious and irrational, but for some reason we logical Aspies are drawn to this sort of "fear-reaction" sort of the thinking. I wonder if it's because we have suffered so much from stuff "happening" to us for "no reason" (usually because of our own social ineptitude) that we start thinking that the universe is a hostile place.

I for one live in a state of near-constant fear. So much for being a "logical Aspie," right?

when one's locus of control is fixed firmly and arbitrarily in a distant external place of undetermined and varying location, that can make one very untrusting in the universe.

Is that a blabbyism or was your brain taken over by wuggamonsters?

And, no -- I shall not rotate a tube sock. I'm very sensitive to touch. Rotating one on my socks would be akin to rotating one of my amygdalae.

what's a wuggamonster?

Ha, I was going to say, what does that mean?! !! Then I read it three more times and got it.

then please kindly tell me what a wuggamonster is.

I wugga why
