Socks: fold ’em or roll ’em?

Just like the exercise machine my friend bought. The cat sleeps on it.

@Tony Rubino: Fold is the way to go

I saw Sheldon Cooper use one of these on The Big Bang Theory but thought it was fake. Then a couple of weeks ago, I saw a clerk using one at a clothing store. Who knew?

I bought one of those folding boards after seeing Sheldon use it. It works great for me. I can fold 8 T-shirts in about 10 minutes where it would take me a half hour before.

The “flip fold” works great for travel, all shirts same size and mimimum wrinkles. Ans: wife rolls my sock.

Roll. I even keep them rolled in the washer so I don’t lose them. Works most of the time.

Fold

I fold his socks when I’m the one who takes them out of the dryer. I have a few pairs that I seldom wear and are folded. My homemade shoes are comfortable with just the Scholls pads and when I wear heels, pantyhose (or nothing for a quick errand).

I don’t understand how some can wear shoes all day without socks or stockings (only made to order fit that well).

we do the roll-fold. Just roll the cuff of one sock over the other enough to keep them together. No stretch, no lost partners.

Depends on the type of sock, longer, fold, ankle, roll.

I hang up my t shirts as I usually wear them most days. I buy all the same type of sock. I never worry if I lose one or if I have to toss one out. The socks all have mates.

I go along with Cecil B. DeMille: Roll’em!

I also roll my underwear and socks, and when travelling my outer clothes as well (give or take suit or sport jacket, IF I bring them).
