14 0 ReplyA 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.

37 1 ReplyI 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!
28 0 Reply$500, monthly subscription, and your GPS and foot data get sold for advertising purposes
27 0 ReplyConsider 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.

“Sleep chat?”

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.
14 2 ReplyIt's reasonable to be afraid that someone who stole JUST your socks might be stalking you or something
36 0 ReplyOkay, that makes sense. Thanks.

Cubbie? WTF? Every gym I've ever been to had lockers. you can't steal socks if they're behind a padlock (typically).
7 0 ReplyMy bouldering gym has cubbies, basically a closet without doors, that are located facing the climbing area

Why did he take his socks off to go bouldering?
7 1 ReplyYou wear most climbing shoes without socks.
19 0 ReplyHuh, i always wore socks and no one told me otherwise. Wack

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.
4 0 ReplyI forgot socks once, because I was wearing sandals. I contemplated doing this. I didn't though.
3 0 ReplyMost 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.
4 2 ReplyMaybe they'll get them back... when whoever took them is done with them.
1 0 ReplyGood thing that didn't happen to me, I would have went through the all the cubbies and took someone else's socks.
2 6 ReplyYou… would prefer stealing someone else’s used socks to wear while going home instead of, you know, not doing that and just going home? 🤨
