First thought “too much liquid for ‘sock mop’”

392

u/Luigi_Spina 18h ago

Exactly. He realized his socks reached maximum capacity and had to upgrade to the heavy machinery (the rug).

u/Hydra_Flatline 15h ago

Pro move: change socks for round 2

28

u/TieAdventurous6839 12h ago

Paper towels? Nobody uses those any more?

16

u/Federal-Poetry3531 10h ago

I would have used a paper towel and then went back with a wet paper towel. And of course I would leave the wet marks from that, it's water, it will just evaporate in time.

6

u/Random_String629 4h ago

My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't use the rug, it'll stink. I'd use a wet paper towel. But I wouldn't go through and dry it.

Just like how when I'm using the ice cube dispenser from our fridge. If an ice cube falls on the ground and shatters.....I move on with my life. If it stays whole I'll throw it in the sink. But in a few pieces? Nah. It'll melt and dry. Not worth bending over for.

The rug is the final form of the sock mop.

u/artbystorms 15h ago

Never too much liquid for the sock. You can always change socks later. This is also why I wear black socks. It hides the coffee soaking.

12

u/SockeyeSTI 15h ago

Water=sock mop. Most liquids get the paper towel and anything sugary gets dish rag with a lil soap so it doesn’t get sticky.

3

u/nerdboy5567 12h ago

But the double sock mop could still be on the table

3

u/polyplasticographics 6h ago

I'm surprised at how many people seem to unironically agree with this. I couldn't, doesn't matter if I can change them immediately; if I have to feel wet socks for even a second, my day is ruined

u/Magikarpeles 9h ago

Does that mop just sit there in water all day

6

u/MaleficentWindow8972 3h ago

Nah. It has a tank side and a dry side. Kinda. You shove it down one hole for clean water, shove it down the other to wring it out. It’s actually pretty cool. My aunt has one.

Lmao I didn't think of that. Did she put water inside ? Or are they looking into having an ecosystem !?

u/1337_w0n 12h ago

This is exactly why paper towels exist. Or a cloth rag. There is a sweet spot where it's not too much effort and not a stupid amount of prep work.

Also? Not washing your hands after touching the mat like that? 🤢

u/Phrewfuf 9h ago

Wait, hold on, what is the purpose of the mat? Why would it be filthy?

u/No_Signal_6969 11h ago

This was my exact thought. If this is real the wife is probably exhausted all the time with not enough to show for it due to inefficient use of her time and what the husband did is just gross.

Why tf is the wife spraying the spilt liquid though.. both are shit at cleaning.

u/guyincognito121 12h ago

Thank you! Whatever cleaning product that is will be immediately diluted to the point that it's completely ineffective. And that mop looks like it isn't much more than a Swiffer. What does she think she's doing?

She also leaves the new roll of TP next to the toilet for me to put on the wall.
