Man Says His Dad Hasn’t Changed his “Lucky” Socks In Months

According to the son, his father, a 47 year old successful businessman who became emotionally attached to one particular pair of dark dress socks after landing a major business deal while wearing them. Since then, the father allegedly refuses to part ways with them, insisting the socks bring him luck.

And according to the family, the smell has reached catastrophic levels.

“You can literally smell them before he even opens the door,” the son claims.”

The son says his father wears the socks daily with dress shoes during meetings, dinners, and work events, despite repeated complaints from relatives. He added that his father has become “completely nose blind” to the stink after months of nonstop wear.

“He genuinely doesn’t notice it anymore,” the son said. “The rest of us are suffering.”

The story exploded across social media after users began joking that the socks should be sold to the highest bidder.

According to the son, the businessman is currently single and lives alone, which may partly explain why the habit continued unchecked for so long. Family members allegedly attempted to secretly throw the socks away multiple times, only for the father to retrieve them or become furious when they disappeared.

One commenter joked:

“That man should open a sniff and smell, i’ll be the first to buy a ticket.”

Another wrote:

“No way this is real, Imagine closing a million-dollar business deal while your feet smell like that.”

The son also claimed the socks are now permanently stiff in certain areas you can see the caked up sweat and debris.
