Folding your socks may be a simple, uncomplicated chore for many, in comparison to the struggle of changing sheets on a double bed by yourself. It should just be a simple case of pairing the socks together in a ball and putting away in a drawer. However, people have been shocked by an alternative ‘hack’ when it comes to folding their socks together\u00a0<\/p>\n

The video sees a demonstration of the ‘hack’, with the user beginning by placing one sock over the other to form a cross<\/p>\n

The video sees a demonstration of the ‘hack’, with the user beginning by placing one sock over the other to form a cross, before they fold each half of the horizontal sock inwards and wrapping it around the sock placed vertically.<\/p>\n
They then roll the sock that is vertical into the middle, tucking it into the other sock.<\/p>\n
The ‘hack’ then finishes by rolling the sock into a compact square, which has left viewers with mixed reactions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Replying to the video, one TikTok user said: ‘I’ve not got time for that’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Another added: ‘good grief…I could have sorted 10 pairs in that amount of time’, to which the creator of the video replied ‘We\u2019ll race ya’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Indeed, many users were sceptical of the amount of extra time it would take – compared to just balling socks together before putting them away – even if it meant their socks lasting longer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Although it does seem as though it would be better to fold socks into a square to save more space overall, people appeared to be put off by the method for seeming unnecessarily complicated.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
A third user joked: ‘Life\u2019s too short to spend hours folding socks’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A fourth was adamant that this was quite ‘hack’ it claimed to be, commenting: ‘Rest assured I will not be doing it this way’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
