      A friend of mine (not me, I swear) once got sudden diarrhoea and shat his pants in public. He “found” a comparatively clean pair of underpants in the locker room, put them on instead and skedaddled. No one ever found out.

    I wonder if they could invent socks with a toe-print reader and a silent gps alarm… And while we’re at it, let’s add some exercise tracking stuff for runners. Only $500 and a monthly subscription!

        Consider it an investment if you can also sell the realtime state of your feet via onlyfans. Even better if there’s an amateur podiatry chat for the real freaks.

        “The way they’re curling their toes, they gotta be doing something good.”

        “Get arch support”

        “Sleep chat?”

        “Seriously, get arch support”

    I’m repulsed and afraid.

    The “repulsed” bit I totally get. What are they “afraid” of, though? That it’ll happen again?

    Are they afraid for humanity in general? There are much worse things out there, pal. Read the news sometime.

    Cubbie? WTF? Every gym I’ve ever been to had lockers. you can’t steal socks if they’re behind a padlock (typically).

      My bouldering gym has cubbies, basically a closet without doors, that are located facing the climbing area

        Huh, i always wore socks and no one told me otherwise. Wack

        To be fair i was never doing anything too difficult

      I kinda wondered the same, since back when I climbed if I forgot my liner socks I would skip the climbing wall.

      But I had janky shoes and I also recall there being climbers who insisted socks were bad and stupid since they inhibited toe movement.

    The same happened to me at the pool when I was 10. I just thought it was weird back then, now I’m disgusted.

    Most places have cameras, assuming this isn’t a changing room. Most gyms have cubbies just on the side, in the open.

    So, talk to the staff, figure it out.

    I forgot socks once, because I was wearing sandals. I contemplated doing this. I didn’t though.

    Good thing that didn’t happen to me, I would have went through the all the cubbies and took someone else’s socks.

      You… would prefer stealing someone else’s used socks to wear while going home instead of, you know, not doing that and just going home? 🤨
