Yes, that too.

If I remember correctly, they used to come in a pack of three... a black pair, a blue/grey colour and a white pair. Because we were only allowed to wear black socks, I’ve no idea...

Men’s original towelline socks

That’s a bit rude. You mean he walked on your carpets in his outdoor footwear? Did he not even offer to remove them?
