          Walking two steps outside in socks and accidentally stepping on a slug… It was like 37 years ago… I’m still traumatized.

            You want a slug-related traumatizing story ? I had a cat with very long hairs, there was a cat door to the garden outside but usually he slept inside. One morning i wake up and feel the cat close to me in the bed, something very common. I start to pet him on the dark being half awake only. After some time i feel something wet in his belly fur, but as I’m half sleepy I don’t react and keep petting him. Only after what was probably a long time, I realized that something is wrong, turn on the light and see a slug curled/trapped inside his fur, I was touching it with my hand for several minutes!

          When you accidentally dip your shirt tail in the toilet during one of those dumps you swear you were giving birth to a watermelon

        You may consider foregoing children. Much like Thanos, wet socks are inevitable.

      I have MS, and one of my minor symptoms is I sometimes get a feeling on the bottom of my foot being wet (temp change basically), giving me a wet sock feel. Fuck that symptom.

      I’m right there with you. I spent 10 years working in the boreal and in peatlands. I have an indescribable hatred for wet feet. Nothing like getting a booter, and having to deal with that all day.

      Sometimes you forget your spare socks, or a plastic bag which is more important

      But if you die due to a puddle induced mishap then you will go to wetsockhalla where every day is spent in the battle against wet socks.
