Are you guilty of sock "faux pas" in public?

For generations, my family have been expert at making holes in socks at the toes: somehow it only seems to take a few days. Also, of not throwing them out when they get to that state.

I've (relatively) recently acquired about 15 pairs which are all black except for the toes and heels, which are one colour, but it might be purple, or red, or green, or blue or various other choices.

Almost every time I have to go through airport security I have to remove my shoes and display different coloured socks with large holes in them ...
