I don't know how familiar you are with domestic chores but I need an answer to this. When is the best time to turn my socks out-side-out? Is it (a) as soon as I take them off, (b) before putting them in the wash, (c) before hanging them out to dry, (d) before putting them away, or (e) before putting them on? And why? Also, same question for t-shirts. My clothes-line is indoors so fading is not an issue. "Who cares, that's woman's work" is not an acceptable answer. :) - SimonThis is a household chore I'm particularly particular about. The best time to turn your socks out-side-out is:-
(e) before putting them on.
This is because the socks will usually be stuck together after being bundled up in the drawer. The process of turning them out prepares the socks for easy pulling onto your feet.
With t-shirts, the answer is:-
(d) before putting them away.
When you fold your t-shirts, you should fold them in such a way that the design on the front is easily seen. By all means, if your t-shirts are inside out, you can guess the one you're after by the colour/textile of the material. However, you probably have multiple t-shirts the same colour/textile, making it hard to tell them apart. Also, the colour may have faded or the textile become rougher due to old age, making it harder to recognise your desired t-shirt.
So, save yourself time. Don't struggle while putting socks on. Don't waste precious seconds unfolding t-shirts only to fold them again. Follow my advice.
It's the best on the web.PS. I will endevour to steer away from the chauvinism that may have been interpreted in the Dirty Shower Scene post. Appologies to anyone who may have been offended.
