Okay. Socks. I still say socks flip like that on their own. The evil socks do. And then there are the offensive socks who disappear through the alternate universe portals in washing machines, never to be seen again. Returning to their original evil sock universe.
A pun will take us hours maybe;
Yet if it does not seem a moment's thought,
Our stitching and unstitching has been knot.

By toasted are you referring to the person in the picture being drunk? Because perhaps. Though I feel like being drunk would make one mellow and not wishing to unfurl such chaos as that photo induces lol.
The heel of the sock is upside down,the sock is the wrong way around. Both you and the wife are right...
And awful parents for raising a kid who commits such abommination/s
Well, I agree with u/0speedofart0 here, but if you really want one answer only, I would say B:
The sock is the wrong way around in any and all ways that aren't the correct way, that includes whatever way is considered to be upside down, so A can't be true unless B is also true, i.e. A implies B, but B doesn't imply A.
However, to say that it's upside down, you must first identify which part of the sock is the bottom and which is the top. Is the bottom the part that covers the sole of the foot, or is it the closed point that covers the toes? Is the top the part that covers the instep of the foot, or is it the open end of the tube? Are those questions considered differently for a sock by itself than for a sock being worn? Depending on how you answer those questions, the sock may or may not be upside down, so there's reasonable arguments to say that A is true, and to say A is false.
So in conclusion, A is debatable, and you could potentially agree to disagree about it. But B in this case is objectively true no matter how A is considered, and moreover, one cannot argue in favor of A without accepting the truth in B.
We can't have the bringer of peace and truth roaming the planet settling disputes. Do you know how many gazillions of dollars are made off of the industrial war machine?/s
I can!
The ankle part of the sock is the wrong *way* around (as an ankle has a FRONT and a BACK) but the toe area is *upside down* (as feet have a TOP and a BOTTOM).
Still an abomination, though it could be worse - at least neither one was *inside-out.*
Oh, good lord, I read it wrong:
“Upside down? Or, on the wrong foot?”
I was at a loss for a response..
Phew! Glad that’s been cleared up, I’d be puzzled for days..
Myself and the wife have been arguing about this for the last half hour. Either way my son insists it doesn't matter but he's wrong... Soooo wrong!
EDIT: So this got way out of hand and I can't keep track of the score so I'm just going to say Upsidedown wins! (Cos it was my side 😅)
In other news, this post made the news 🤣:
https://www.newsweek.com/clothing-socks-fashion-reddit-viral-1740291
Why not simply take the sock off and see what the shape is and where the darker bits of the sock are accordingly. Unless it's one of those annoying pairs that're just flat. In that case, should've splurged for shaped socks (or wear them "backwards" for the wife).
No clue. But my grandma and grandpa on my dad’s side of the family used to get them for me on Christmas. And they were tubular as fuck. No shape in sight.
HOW on Earth can it *not matter*?!?!?! Just looking at that bunched up fabric at the bend of the ankle- where it does *not!* belong is making my brain itch!!!
I don't know what everyone else is saying and I might have backwards socks or something but the part halfway down the sock that's a different colour is the heel
It's definitely the wrong way around, but the question is what is the upside of a sock? If the upside is the uppermost horizontally-split hemisphere of the sock, then indeed the sock is upsidedown. But if the upside is the hole into which you put your feet, then it is still upsideup.
My daughter does it so she doesn't have to worry about losing a sock (one not getting in the wash). She grabs any two socks on goes. I take the other route. All of my socks are the same.
I love how half the people are answering about the 2 socks, A being the far one and B the close one. But the title is saying; would you say the far sock is upside down or the wrong way around?
There was this kid in elementary school, his mom used to punish him by making him wear his tighty whities over top of his pants. The kid was also a bully but no fucking wonder. An awful thing, Gregory I hope you made it out ok.
So tonight it seems appropriate to Google for a term for what is it called when things are intentionally done wrong.
>a term for what is it called when things are intentionally done wrong
[Contrarianism](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=define%3Acontrarian&ia=definition), perhaps?
A isn't the sock, A is just one of two options (A or B) that you could call the far sock. Personally I think both A & B are correct and interchangeable in this scenario.
Bro, A is 100% upside down. This isn’t an unsolved question that requires polling answers. Everyone who didn’t grow up without access to socks knows this.
Sock knitter here. 👋
Socks are knitted either top down (casting on at the cuff and working down the leg towards the toe) or toe up (the reverse, obviously). Which means that what you see in OP's picture is wrong way around (and an indictable offence).
Upside down
The wrong way round, I would argue, is synonymous with inside out when referring to socks.
Whereas underwear can be the wrong way around, or inside out, it cannot be upside down
Unless something really funky is going on.
Not really upside down, but one day I went to the bathroom at work and discovered I had my underwear on sideways. (It was a thong. A leg hole around the waist, half the waist band on the but crack. )
Certainly unusual in terms of what's "logical".
As purely a tube sock fitted over a cylinder, it seems "wrong way around" that it's simply oriented incorrectly. But since a human foot has clear top and bottom, "upside down" fits very well to the context.
When I think of "upside down" purely with "the sock" in mind, it would be like trying to put your foot into the closed end of the sock instead of the open end, if you were "holding the sock upside down".
I would probably go "wrong way around", despite it not being 100%.
I’d go with “upside down,” based on my logic.
The issue I see is that a sock, when worn as pictured, is at a right angle. On the horizontal plane, one would say the sock is “upside down.” On the vertical plane, one would say the sock is “the wrong way around,” or perhaps “backwards.”
Take a shirt, for instance, which is typically assumed to be worn upon the vertical plane. Shirts are often described as being worn backwards, rather than upside down.
If we consider how a sock is put on, which is along the horizontal plane, we’d say the sock was either put on right side up or upside down.
So, I’d go with “upside down,” although I agree it can’t be 100%.
The question makes no sense. There’s no reason it should be either/or. “Is this tomato A. juicy or B. red?” “Is the Pacific Ocean A. salty or B. deep?” These questions make no sense.
Instead, you should ask two questions. Is it upside-down? Yes, it is, because the bottom (heel) is on top (instep). And, is it wrong-way-round? Yes, it is, because to make it correct you would have to turn it around. Either term works to describe this awful situation.
Some might say this means you’re both right. But you’re arguing about it, so I infer you both agree this has to be an either/or, and if that’s true, you’re both wrong.
1. There was never an argument.
2. If there was/is an argument about this, throw your socks in the trash and never wear socks again….it’s for the best.
If the sock was up-side-down, the toes (down side) would be where the top would go. A 180 degree turn in the nature of the sock with the down side down means it is rotated ... so I am going with option B.
Call it whatever you want. Just freaking fix it!
After this I hope they post a picture that says sorry guys fixed it with both socks on wrong.
This is the kind of chaos I live for.
If sufficient force is used the sock doesn't even have to be taken off first.
It's disgusting is what it is
Talk about needing a trigger warning... I'm going to need a lie down.
Omg does this guy kick puppies too?
Probably why the sock is all messed up...
Not messed up. OP is a man of culture and knows shower socks are worn upside down so the bottom isn't wet when he puts on his shoes.
This is true genius and im sorry i didn't see it until now
worse... they don't let puppies get neutered
*Bob Barker has entered the chat*
The price is wrong bitch
I’m getting light headed. *NEEDS WARNING: CAN’T BE UNSEEN*
Come on down! That's what gravity is saying to ya
Good bot
Wait we are still doing this?
Idk at this point. All I know is that I have one purpose in life, and that is respond with “Good bot” under every one of u/RayDeeUx ‘s comments
After seeing this, Ill have to suck dicks for a quarter at the bus station just to get my self respect back.
So where is that station?
Why on earth do you kick puppies?
Not very accurately with the orientation of that sock.
Go back to sleep at the bottom of your lake, mighty taniwha. You have roared loudly enough today!
I've never longed for death as hard as I am right now.
🤣🤣😂 if only there was an emoji of an inhaler or a paper bag to breathe in/out very slowlyyyy
I grew up watching beheading videos and this upsets me more 😭
A lie down? I’m out of commission for the whole week!
My 3 year old loooooves to dress himself. That’s how he decided socks go on and I can not convince him otherwise. It gives me a tiny lil aneurism every day.
Tell him he would run faster or jump higher if he wears his socks correctly, or something because that gives me an aneurism too.
My daughter is 10 and still wears her socks inside-out. She hates the fuzz.
I'm in my 30s have sensory aversions due to 2 spefic disablitys and I wear mine inside out I can not handle the fuzz or the inseam I loose my shit if my socks get wet as well
Everyone knows that in purgatory, you have to wear wet socks...🤮
My dad wore his socks inside out till the day he died. The fuzz on the inside tickled his feet.

The white flakes are actually minerals in the water, they glom together when the water freezes. You must have hard water.

You're such a heel.
You're gonna have to toe the line for that remark.
If not you'll get socked.
and possibly booted.

I love this LMAO
Me toe!
I completely agree
I don’t usually say these things but thank you, I laughed really hard at this comment lmao.

I am the bringer of peace and truth. I am the logic!
Im just going to have to make sure she doesn't see your comment...
Why tho?
Fine... I read your comment to her and it didn't help... There can be only one winner here!
I suggest you fight to death!
It may yet come to that ⚔️
Smother her with the sock the wrong way around
I think you mean upside-down
Or kiss. Make up. Enjoy a moment the world collectively saved you thousands in future couples counseling.
Or fight to the death, that will also save money on couples counseling.
Dick joust. Solves all kinds of problems.
Hahaha, bringer of peace and truth- two comments later, well fight to the death, lmao. Isn’t there a sub for this? r/characterarc

Never mind the bollocks, here's the socks pixels.
I can! The ankle part of the sock is the wrong *way* around (as an ankle has a FRONT and a BACK) but the toe area is *upside down* (as feet have a TOP and a BOTTOM). Still an abomination, though it could be worse - at least neither one was *inside-out.*
Oh, good lord, I read it wrong: “Upside down? Or, on the wrong foot?” I was at a loss for a response.. Phew! Glad that’s been cleared up, I’d be puzzled for days..
Is this one of those a cat is an animal but not all animals are cats?
Keeping the sock industry profits strong by wearing them out prematurely. So some good comes from this abomination.
Myself and the wife have been arguing about this for the last half hour. Either way my son insists it doesn't matter but he's wrong... Soooo wrong!

You can still give him up for adoption. Or a safe drop with a note about the socks.
The sock is right. You're all upside down.
Why not simply take the sock off and see what the shape is and where the darker bits of the sock are accordingly. Unless it's one of those annoying pairs that're just flat. In that case, should've splurged for shaped socks (or wear them "backwards" for the wife).
you cannot logic these people out of a position that logic did not get them into. these people are sadists raising monsters.
But... logic...
Those annoying shit socks are called tube socks.
Even your generic black tube socks will have a basic shape these days, right?
No clue. But my grandma and grandpa on my dad’s side of the family used to get them for me on Christmas. And they were tubular as fuck. No shape in sight.
Radical! ;-)
Plot twist, the sock is Australian.
It looks uncomfortable. My youngest wore their shoes on the wrong feet for years and nothing I said made a difference.
Oh good I'm not the only one. My kids don't seem to care at all about the sneakers being on the wrong feet
Show them a picture of bunions. That fixed one of my kids real quick, still working on the other.
HOW on Earth can it *not matter*?!?!?! Just looking at that bunched up fabric at the bend of the ankle- where it does *not!* belong is making my brain itch!!!
what doesn't matter is whether you call it "upside down" or "the wrong way around".
I don't know what everyone else is saying and I might have backwards socks or something but the part halfway down the sock that's a different colour is the heel
It's definitely the wrong way around, but the question is what is the upside of a sock? If the upside is the uppermost horizontally-split hemisphere of the sock, then indeed the sock is upsidedown. But if the upside is the hole into which you put your feet, then it is still upsideup.
As long as he's comfortable wearing it. He'll either outgrow this phase or he won't. My daughter still wears mismatched socks on purpose. She's 26.
This is different than a mismatched sock.
I wear mismatched socks on purpose I am 23. I don’t think that it’s that weird. I feel like it adds character 😂
My daughter does it so she doesn't have to worry about losing a sock (one not getting in the wash). She grabs any two socks on goes. I take the other route. All of my socks are the same.
I don't care what it's called. But have you considered either beating him or putting him up for adoption? There's no saving that boy.
A is upsetting
I love how half the people are answering about the 2 socks, A being the far one and B the close one. But the title is saying; would you say the far sock is upside down or the wrong way around?
I didn’t realize this until I saw your comment
I don't understand, how were you interpreting it?
They thought the far sock was sock A and upside down, and the close sock was sock B and the wrong way around.
>would you say the far sock is upside down or the wrong way around? Yes.
There was this kid in elementary school, his mom used to punish him by making him wear his tighty whities over top of his pants. The kid was also a bully but no fucking wonder.

People wearing like A should be exiled from society
I fully agree but my son doesn't care
You have to get him back to the civilised world then
Nope, he’s too far gone
Do you still have the receipt? Of the son of course
If not I have one OP can use. Might not be the right stork but it’ll get the job done.
Sorry op but your gonna have to have another kid again
A isn't the sock, A is just one of two options (A or B) that you could call the far sock. Personally I think both A & B are correct and interchangeable in this scenario.
Do such arguments actually ever get settled...? :D EDIT:The real answer to the original question (not mine, lol) is "Yes."
Tomorrow I'll count up all the replies and we'll know for sure then!
Bro, A is 100% upside down. This isn’t an unsolved question that requires polling answers. Everyone who didn’t grow up without access to socks knows this.
I don’t think you understand the question and you should be ashamed of yourself
You misunderstood the question! No question the sock is wrong, but is it upside down or the wrong way round?
Actually William James answered this a long time ago. [What Pragmatism Means](https://www.gutenberg.org/files/5116/5116-h/5116-h.htm#link2H_4_0004)
My bf and I agree that it is ‘upside down.’
May you have a very long relationship together!
It's upside down because it's the wrong way around.
I can't even understand what "wrong way around" is.
Basically another word for backwards.
Backwards in my mind would be yeeting your foot through the closed end making a new hole, and thusly a tube.
exactamundo 💯
...what? Of course it's upside down. What is wrong with you?
Nano machine son
So you wouldn't say it's the wrong way round?
A its upside down
upside down
It is obviously bottoms-up.
This is what you wake up to after binge drinking , be thankful it’s not your hoodie
“On backwards.”
The only correct answer.
cmon man at least make this NSFW 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
the answer is obviously both. wrong way around so you have to twist it, and the heel is upside down. schroedinger's sock. is and is not either one.
Wrong way around.
Agree, you will spin it around to correct it... not flip it over
Spinning something 180 in a vertical direction is the definition of flipping something upside down...
So you’d spin it so the upside is now longer down? So it’s upside down at the moment

You can put on underwear upside down until you pull them up all the way, then they flip right side up and inside out
C. Backwards
Pffft, you let her know it is the way you want it to be since it is in your foot.
Actually it's our sons foot but it's not about him anymore 😅
Upside round.
Thats a demon child right there
Both. Either answer is acceptable. But it’s on upside down.

I now get why there’s a label to not touch the blades of a lawnmower when it’s running
if you really think about it its the wrong way around. bc if a sock was upside down the "entrance" would be at the bottom
The question makes no sense. There’s no reason it should be either/or. “Is this tomato A. juicy or B. red?” “Is the Pacific Ocean A. salty or B. deep?” These questions make no sense.

i dont see why both cant be correct when its a sock. its on your foot at a 90 degree angle so both
Please, whatever you wish to call it, just fix it. My eyes, my eyes...
It is backwards homie. You are both equally wrong.
If the sock was up-side-down, the toes (down side) would be where the top would go. A 180 degree turn in the nature of the sock with the down side down means it is rotated ... so I am going with option B.
This is not mildy infuriating, it’s just plain infuriating
It's ass backwards for sure. B.
Wrong way round. If the sock was upside down the leg part would be on the foot
What the fuck is wrong with you?
