A fan site dedicated to the worst product from the U of M

I’m starting a new segment here on Rick Rickert.com called, “You know what makes me mad?”  The point of the segment is pretty self-explanatory, I’ll be discussing things that upset me and cause bitterness. 

You know what makes me mad?  I went to Kohl’s this past weekend (or it could have been two weekends ago, I can’t remember) to take advantage of a sale they were having on socks.  Buy 1 pack and get a second pack 50% off.  Good deal right?  And it was perfect because I needed new black socks for work.  Anyway, I bought some Access kind which I had purchassed in the past and been satistied.  I brought them home and put them in the closet in the corner.  I had just done laundry so I didn’t need to open them yet.  So, a week or so passes and it leads to today.  I open up the package because I needed socks this morning.  Much to my shagrin, when I put the socks on, I discovered they were knee highs.  And I hate knee highs.  They get too hot in the summer and irritate the hairs on my legs (socks and leg hair are another thing that makes me mad…after wearing socks, your legs always itch).  I was upset and decided to check the package to see if it could have been my own fault, if I had not seen the label clearly marked, “Knee-High.”  The answer was no.  Access had not put anywhere on their package if these socks were knee high.  What the f, right?  How could a company manufacture a package of three knee-high socks and not state anywhere on the outside if they were knee-high or not??? 

Not correctly labeling whether or not a package of socks are knee-high or not is what makes me mad.  And because of my laziness, I am now stuck with three pairs of black knee-high socks.  I feel like a 70 year old retired man who walks around in a wife-beater, shorts and black-knee highs.  Very, very classy look.
