I started wearing programmer socks while I was still in denial. It became my thing and everyone started giving me programmer socks. I was the “guy” who wore leggings and programmer socks. Now that I actually have a sense of fashion for myself I have no use for all my giant ass socks. I mostly wear black at this point. But I don’t want to throw them out either. Also several people bought me men’s crew socks and could not have misunderstood the assignment more.
