Stupid Things Unemployed Men Don't Have To Think About: I have to stop wearing socks until I find a job. Why? Socks leave a little dent around your ankles that is visible underneath pantyhose and look funky when wearing a skirt suit to an interview.
Because *that's* where the interviewer is gonna look, the sock-line?

Rene, you'd be amazed at the seemingly stupid details that interviewers notice. These aren't tight socks, just normal athletic socks in the proper size; they've always done this to me. The dent doesn't last long, just a few hours, but I've been called in to interview with only an hour or two of notice before. And I wear a skirt suit to an interview because that's the suit I have.

Have you considered switching to no-shows? I haven't worn socks that even get up to the ankles in years. =)

Tina, oh, you mean you get Michael'd (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define... ) ~ There's an app for that: "Due to the novelty of the concept of the type of sock of the present invention there is no widely recognized or standard testing apparatus and method for fabric-to-leg pressure exerted by socks. It has therefore been necessary to choose an apparatus, adapt it for use with socks and develop a test method." http://www.freepatentsonline.com/EP00397...
