Free socks!
28Meh is sending VMP members socks. Apparently, they must have seen the pair I was wearing the other day with holes in them.
Yay for free socks! Well, they're not TECHNICALLY free, but close enough!
"Mediocre Labs here, rappin' atcha to let you know that, as a member of the Very Mediocre Person program, you'll soon be receiving something free from us. At first we were thinking MOTORCYCLES FOR ALL!!, but we didn't want to bum you out with a whole big registration/insurance trip. So we had some Mediocre socks made.
First, you'll get an email about how your "order" for socks is on its way. Don't freak. Put your money away. They're free. Then, 1-2 weeks later, you'll get some real socks, customized/ruined with some allegedly humorous Mediocre branding. Everybody wears socks, right?
As always, you're free to cancel your VMP membership at any time, pay more to ship your Meh orders, and leave any potential future free doodads for the rest of us. It would be insane, but you're free to do it.
Mediocre Labs"

@Snapster has given me a sock. That makes me a free elf, or something.
@escapecar
Free Socks (Refurbished)
@jeraden
Cheer up socker!
@DaveInSoCal I wish I could platinum star this. You're winning so far on my scoreboard.
@DaveInSoCal I see what you did there.
Sorry @unixrab* :(
*not really that sorry :)
If socks change your mind...https://mediocre.com/vmp
@JonT There's just enough glee in that comment. But not too much.
@JonT lol it'll take more than socks! I see through your little ruse. Christmas Free VMP is getting ready to expire and you're expecting mass defections - throw some rags their way and maybe get a few to stay on to see if the motorcycles are coming NEXT time. Nice try hucksters
PS I do not condone Mr. Pinkman's language.
@unixrab But I canceled my VMP about 2 hours before getting the free socks email.... (I honestly don't have $5 in my bank account to continue) so no free socks can bribe me into it.
@Kirgen you're better for it.
Spoiler alert. I found the socks
@lichme I see some speaker derks too... I'd rather have socks.
@lichme what about a rubber rat? That'd be fun too.
@andipandi So, just what makes you think a rat in a picture of Meh's order processing space is /rubber/?
@vlpronj it's a possibility. Also, the speaker docks are alien robots about to come to life....
@lichme everybody except @unixrab.
@RedOak - I'm used to it. It'll take more than socks.. ...think about that: socks. socks? socks.
@lichme I guess it's better than more Built cases.
@TheCO2 I must watch my posts.. @jont could send me unordered neoprene at any moment... ...landfills.
I posted over on the Mediocre Forum, and I'm gonna repeat it over here, too, because, when someone does something nice out of the blue, you have to let them know how much it's appreciated.
This Mediocre kindness of yours touches my heart so much & makes me smile in ways you'll never know. So far, this February has been a month of much suck for me. Add to it, my birthday is breathing down my neck as well as anniversaries of some not-so-happy times.
Thanks, you thoughtful bunch of lunatics. I'm so glad I have Meh around to make me giggle like a nutter once in awhile. Actually, it's every single day!
Now, please tell me you have some Valkyrie-sized socks. I may be tall & slender, but my calves are built like a war horse.
@LaVikinga Yeah, heard that. My calves are freakishly large. You should see the hell I go through trying to buy new ski boots. Just measured them. 20" around without flexing them. I prefer mid-crew or ankle socks.
I've been having a horrible, terrible rat bastard kind of week (kitchen rage - tired of doing dishes doing dishes doing dishes, the most loathed of household chores, vehemently hated since childhood; ready to start throwing them against the wall type of rage) and now Mediocre has turned that around with a promise of socks! Free socks!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
@lisaviolet I love to wash dishes. I know, that's weird. Haven't washed any since Christmas. Nothing but good memories for washing dishes.
@macdaddy When I was a child, I loved doing them. My parents said "look, she likes it, let's make it her job!" And I've hated it ever since. They don't stay done and that's what irritates me. I finish, kitchen's cleaned, an hour or so later, there are more dishes. And there's only one other person in this house. lol
@lisaviolet Aww, poor lisaviolet. Blame Barney!
@Barney Aw, that was sweet of you, Barney.
@lisaviolet When I was about six, my job was to dry the dishes. But I was sure there was going to come a day when my mom was too old to wash dishes and my sister too young to dry them and I'd have to do them all by myself.
@lisaviolet Kitten mittens!
@pooflady Wow! What a nightmare....did you ever recover?
Finally, I needed some Mediocre sock puppets.
@Deelron sorry
"Warranty: Void if converted into puppets"
https://mediocre.com/forum/topics/a-mediocre-sock-or-two
@Ignorant sob
@Deelron You need sock puppets? Scary. Very scary.
@jjcas1103 Mediocre sock puppets. Related note, I have a small child.
@Ignorant @Deelron Magnuson-Moss it, dude! Scoff at those warranty exclusion.
Socks are good.
Socks are nice.
I will wear them once or twice.
Thanks, Meh. :)
@JonT can I have a 'Sock' badge if I post a video of me sliding across the new floor in my Mediocre socks?
Hell yeah free socks. I love socks, and I love free.
I hope they are garishly colored. That's what all the hip kids wear these days.
@Mavyn please... please... may the socks be fun and hideous. Ive got plenty of boring socks... im hoping for socks that make my wife's eyes puke.
@OnionSoup I suspect most of my sock drawer would qualify. :D I like socks that stand out.
@Mavyn I love purple.
@Barney I have purple socks. Purple STRIPED socks. Purple striped SMARTWOOL socks. I like socks.
@Mavyn Awww.
@Mavyn I don't like socks. But I think I would like those socks.
Sock Diggity, I got an order email!
Is this some sort of sick joke? My order number is cheerful-glittering-sock....... a week after woot decided to glitter bomb me.
@lichme waaaaa? you got glitter bombed by woot?
Cant wait for the FREE foot hats!!
Just under the "Free 2 Months of VMP Membership" wire.
I just bought socks, though, Meh....
Also, this does mean that Meh got us Socks for the Holidays. They're like a lame relative.
@BillLehecka me thinks that is the point. Can't have any of this cancel the VMP stuff when you have to pay for it!
@BillLehecka Yeps, I was just thinking I should check and see when my VMP membership expires, because I bet they'll have great stuff before it runs out! I was even going to see if there's an app that would automatically buy whatever is up on the last day of VMP. That's how confident I was, until I noticed the free membership drivewent on a few days. Several days of great deals,ᶦᵐᵖᵒˢˢᶦᵇᶫᵉ﹗I love free though. And I'm gonna love these socks and wear them everyday.
Hells to the yeah. I bet they're just regular white athletic socks. Nothing wrong with that (not sock racist), but it would be nice to have some slick mediocre dress socks to exert my dominance in the workplace.
I love purple.
Well I must admit that when you guys said VMP's. were going to be getting special things every now and then, socks never entered my mind.
I'm serious, I want to bathe in a mound of socks.
@BillLehecka I think you've found your new fetish.
@BillLehecka You gonna tuck them in the neoprene? Put them over your ears?
i hope they're purple.
@carl669 I love purple!
I hope they are from Japan. The Japanese make the best socks...
and the best butter mills...
@Headly Thank goodness none of those are purple.
@juststephen SorryI I changed the pic. They are Purple. and NINJA! How can you say no to purple ninja tabi socks? I sure can't...
@Headly I love purple.
@Headly Butter mill?!? Never seen such a thing! Must get one!
@Barney I despise purple.
@Teripie Had to look it up... Ordering one... Butter Mill!! http://www.chefscatalog.com/product/31381-cooks-innovations-butter-mill.aspx
@Headly OK, now I need a butter mill...
@Headly Yeah, just checked on Amazon and ordered one for $15 - a butter mill, that is. Hope the socks are cool too.
@Headly But the Germans make the best shamies.
@Fen_Star
@Fen_Star I actually prefer a synthetic chamois called "The Absorber"
@Fen_Star You're gonna like my nuts
I want a mother fucking motorcycle, dammit.
I will still take the socks, I actually need some
@The_Baron I didn't know motorcycles could do that. Who knew they had mothers?
@jjcas1103 @the_baron I would join VMP for the motorcycle... fyi @snapster & @jont
@unixrab Yes, free motorcycles for all! Actually, no, free for just me. I was thinking of canceling VMP now that It's not free. If they give me a motorcycle, I will buy a year of VMP for me and another user, all up front.
@jjcas1103 Well, my '95 Harley Sportster used to vibrate like crazy and on a really bumpy road I'd get.....well, nevermind.....
yo nana got so many free socks that, umm, her feet were warm
wait a minute, these aren't made of neoprene, are they?
@sublimosa You got an actual snort out of me.
@MsELizardBeth My mediocrity pales in comparison here at meh, so your snort means the world to me. Tomorrow and evermore, I shall despair as I will never elicit another!
Asockalypse Now!
Look what I just spied at https://mediocre.com/vmp
@ACraigL I forget who does those drawings. What is @JasonToon? Anyway, @snapster should have someone put a keychain on the guys belt with a TOCSS cable hanging off it
Free SOCKS and this is where my mind immediately jumps to -
http://www.socks-proxy.net/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS
Glen's not going to like it when i put him and his twin on my feet... and then put shoes on.
@marklog Just keep your fingers out of them, he'll be okay.
Socks are sometimes the ONLY thing I wear......lol.
Free sex! I'm super excited! Okay, so someone is going to be delivered and I get to bang them like a screen door in a hurricane, right? Are there any hard limits? Can I try some of the stuff I saw in 50 Shades of Grey? It's not a dude is it? Eh, it doesn't matter, FREE SEX!!! WOO HOO!!!
@fantom2993 Assuming you're living by yourself, a sock is pretty much the same thing.
Two-for-Tuesday Glens?
But it's Wednesday!
Free socks! cool... will they match?
Having learned my lesson about meh and their tendency to be literal, I would not automatically assume an even number of socks. (I'm up to 3 emails.)
@bakerzdosen Up to 5 for me. But they are the same sock.
@bakerzdosen You must have gotten my email because I'm still at 0
@hanna Totalled off at 6. No more!
At first I was confused. Surely Meh wouldn't send me socks considering my abrupt departure from the community here last month with no rhyme or reason.
Then the second order came. Ahh it did indeed say or two in the order didn't it. I suppose I won a Meh lotto and one of the last remaining lucky ones. The Meh powerball winner.
Then the 3rd order came. Maybe they just want to know I am even still alive. Afterall I have been pretty much MIA since the last RC copter sale almost a month ago. This must have been very worrying for Meh as before I averaged a buy every 4 days. Where could crazy man have gone?!?
Then the 4th order came.
I just wanted Meh to know I am indeed alive. I had some great changes I choose to take in my life to umm save my life and I will return soon. Apparently with a shit ton of socks. Or sucks. Or sucky socks. I shall enjoy them regardless.
All the best
~Outofmehmind
Ps Now a 5th order. In before 6th.
@Outofmehmind you will only be getting one pair. Malfunction of the email bot.
This is all well and good but did anyone bother to read the fine print?

@Mehrocco_Mole "Not the Beatles." rofl
I'm going to wear the highest of highwater pants to give Meh some advertisement!
@ABitterWoman
I LOVE SOCKS!! I hope they fit!
@chellemonkey Ouch, good point, don't know if these will fit my clown feet
@chellemonkey That was my first thought. I always have a hard time finding comfy socks that fit properly.
@chellemonkey If they don't fit - sock puppets!
@chellemonkey I agree. New socks are my favorite but I have tiny feet & buy children's socks. I look forward to the new leg warmers!
@chellemonkey if the sock doesn't fit you must aquit?
@sublimosa looks like I'm not gonna get an invite to the ball.
Awesome. Since its still February, I really hope they're purple.
@MrGlass I love purple.
Condoms would be cheaper and easier to ship. Just saying Meh.com...
They could be used kind of like socks or gloves too.
@xEBRONx Yeah. Branded "Mediocre". That would be awesome! What a statement! "I know what I am and I'm proud".
@xEBRONx and they could staple them to a postcard, making them truly mediocre.
@xEBRONx no no no, they want you to have little Mehbies. The more little ones for you to shower with helicopters, contigo cups, snapware and frozen banana mushers the better. Plus, Meh wants all the future Mehmbers they can get.
Oh, my goodness!! I'm overwhelmed with the kindness and complete mehness of our new home!! Thank you!! I love tacky socks!!! My Toesies are wiggling with anticipation!!
@maggie While I'm not quite as excited as you are about the socks, I have just wiggled my toes in solidarity.
So I am in a quandary over these socks. In my life I only allow 2 kinds of socks....Black full length (Puma brand, at this point) and white quarter length (Also Puma brand, great socks, from Costco). This has served me very well because I HATE it when socks get stretched, lose their match, etc etc. Now I don't have to fold them. I have a stack of white socks and a stack of black socks and I love them all. If one gets a hole, the pair is not ruined...throw it out and continue to match with reckless abandon. I can dress in the dark, finding the right sock by feel alone. I have never been in that situation where you realize 1/2 way through your day that one sock is black and the other is navy etc...doesn't happen to me.
But now I don't know what to do! I love Meh and I want to proudly wear my mediocre socks but there will be just two of them. What if the dryer eats them? What if I blindly combine them with a black sock and embarrass myself, potentially ruining my hopes and dreams, not to mention my career. What will my kids think of me when they see that my principles have slipped to allow a third sock option, one with one a single pair to stand behind it. What if they take that to mean that they can try new things...drugs I can't pronounce, gluten free bread, sugarless desserts or Rock and Roll music???
What do I do Meh, what do I do???
@tightwad Start a walk about and carry them to and throw them into the grand canyon before they have a chance to corrupt the very fibre of your domestic existance.
@tightwad keep these socks in a special place, only wear them for special occasions, hand wash, hang dry.
@tightwad be meh and wear one mediocre sock and one black or white sock and not worry about not matching… in fact put one of each sock in each pile and make it a random thing...
@katylava Hand wash was assumed as the default way to care for them....it's the adjustment from 2 kinds to an odd pair (one is an odd number...14 is too but in a different way). I shall deal with the added burden...
@tightwad I love purple.
@tightwad Easy solution. It's Meh. Just call them disposable.
@phatmass Everything is disposable if you have the money...
OneMHz : "Can I pick the size? I hate when the heel is halfway up my leg."
RedOak: "@OneMHz These are special meh socks. The do not have heel-bends. So you can decide for yourself where to put your heel!"
@RedOak So is the pictures of the socks sent in the plethora of confirmation emails we got, not the ones actually being sent? They look very much heel-bended...
Side note... scheme to get us to keep the VMP membership in the hopes that you may change your mind and send us a motorcycle or not, I love socks. In fact, I have a pair on right now. And I'll probably be wearing some tomorrow. It's cold up here, like -7 cold. So thanks for the socks. I'll rock em hard. Real hard.
nautical-affordable-cilantro
Thanks meh! You guys (and gals) are the greatest! Though it does say "a medicore sock (or two)", I do hope I get two!
Jeesh..... I've only received one confirmation email. Not feeling very special. ;)
@ilovereality I've also only gotten one.
YAAAAAAYYY! Guys, I LOVE socks. Now my husband won't divorce me because I keep stealing his socks. Thank you, meh 😊
@alexthegirl well if you stop stealing his socks and only have this one pair he might divorce you for smelly feet… just sayin'
@Kidsandliz On the other hand he may divorce her if she does not have smelly feet. Who are we to judge.
Hmm, I have high standards in socks -- mine all come from Sockdreams.com in Portland, OR. (Yall need to check them out, they're amazing.) Mmm, you know what might be cute? A sock monkey made of Meh socks. Hmm...!
@Trin Aww, purple.
@Trin i love sockdreams. i usually wear sandals, but if i wear real shoes and need socks, sockdreams are my goto. love knee socks and skirts.
sign me up for VMP when you're offering Meh boxer briefs. It will save my wife the trouble of looking at me in my underwear, and saying "Meh"...
Man, this socks. But I needed some new ones. My old awesome socks are getting kinda old.
Yay. Socks.
But I have to warn Meh: Only wool touches my feet.
Well, and cotton.
And synthetics.
@bakerzdosen You wear socks to the beach, pool, and in the shower? Innovative & trend-setting.
@RedOak I have a synthetic shower. Otherwise, yes.
I like socks.
Socks are my obsession!!! I have more socks than I would care to admit. I am so excited!! Here are the ones I am wearing today.
Sock pool?
I like free! But as I tweeted @snapster - I misread it as free STOCK... Back in 1998 I got free stock from Travelzoo and last year they sent me a check for $127 - so you can understand my misread http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9807/17/freestock.idg/ (Travelzoo paid me about $21 a share - sadly at one point it was valued at $90 a share - if only I'd cashed out then!).
I would have been ok with the motorcycle so if that's still a possibility please go ahead and make it happen. Thanks!
@wyk3d You say that, and then you'd be all "sales tax! property tax! insurance! Screw you, Meh!" Socks are better.
@dave No no good sir. I most certainly guarantee I would hapilly pay any and all of that and probably get Meh painted on to the gas tank just for good measure.
@wyk3d @dave This would be nice
It's a GS MEH-Hundred
@wyk3d Google image searched mehcycle. Did not disappoint
@wyk3d While the GS would be nice.. I'd settle for a Grom
You guys meh-ache my day!
Is this gonna be foot socks or like chelsea's socks? If you send me a kitten I'll I'll well I'm not gonna tell ya what I'm gonna do but it will be certainly an adequate response.
They're trying to tell me something....
priceless-nauseating-dress
alcoholic-metric-wolf. times 3. (so far, I've received 3 email confirmations with the same order phrase)
@parodymandotcom thanks - we have noted a malfunction in the mediocre order-confirming-bot and he is sending emails repeatedly every 5 minutes. Sorry only 1 pair of socks regardless of his spamming you.
temporarily we will have to pull the plug on him so further real emails may be delayed.
@snapster Looks like that's a really Mediocre bot then.
mehlbot
@parodymandotcom They are only doing this because they didn't want to send order confirmations for items you buy. Now they send multiple order confirmations for items you didn't buy.
@Fen_Star I changed tense and it reads weird, but I don't want to fix it because meh.
@snapster Ah, dang -- I thought I was getting six socks, and had wondered if they were three pair of six mismatched. Either way, very cool, and thanks. (However, I'd seen the same confirmation phrase for each so suspected malfunction or joke.)
Meh, I totally get it I'm getting some socks and I'm pretty stoked. But I don't need four email confirmations. Shit I don't even need one.
common-uninvited-crayfish
Makes sense, because how would one invite a crayfish, anyway? (Insert Jerry Seinfeld monologue here.)
@JonT Thanks for the socks. How'd you know I collect designer socks?
Oh man, my hoarder-phobic girlfriend is going to love me getting random shit in the mail.
Anyone who plays roller derby has specific socks that work for skating and some that don't so much. Hopefully these work for me.
@MsELizardBeth Based on the pictures, they will work if you prefer thin socks. I did so these would have been nice if I still skated. If you like thicker socks for a tighter boot fit these aren't going to cut it.
@PurplePawprints I do but I bet these end up not fitting over my calves.
I just tore a hole in my favorite socks today, this is so awesome!
caustic-quicker-cucumber
My feelings are now hurt because I only received one email from Mediocre about a sock order. Apparently, you don't love me as much as everyone else. I'll forgive you, because socks! Thanks, Meh!
@PurplePawprints Look at the bright side - unlike the rapid fire recipients, your SPAM filter has not been trained to send all meh email to the SPAM folder.
yeah! socks!!!
mediocre-luxurious-leather
Wow, leather socks and mediocre too, gonna have to wear em in front of PETA.
Too bad they don't say Meh on the bottom so Meh can get some free advertising when I'm on a no-shoe wearing asskicking romp!
And I didn't even say, "Bath!"
Oh crap...
Bastards!
While a motorcycle would be nice, I'd be happy with a well-used moped. Or just socks, I guess.
I wonder if meh ships so much shit that UPS/Fedex feels sorry for them and pays MEH to allow them to ship their stuff. Either that, or they have a good marketing budget =D
6 emails for Socks as well, I'm guessing it's a sock pair per month of VMP, right?
@froppy I was wondering why I got two emails, figured either it was one sock per email, or the server Hampstor hiccuped.
Does this mean nows I needs shews?
@havasuflash mediocre labs is not responsible for any slippage resulting from wearing mediocre socks without shoes on a non-carpeted floor
@harrison Are you responsible for static discharge resulting from wearing mediocre socks without shoes on a carpeted floor?
@harrison haven't slipped yet on my dirt floor...well there was that time kitty peed on the floor and it froze but that was just that one time
@Mavyn only if it's involved in a hilarious prank
@harrison Scaring the heck out of the unsuspecting with a bolt to the nose is ALWAYS hilarious.

I shit you not: Maria Shriver somewhere south of the Great Australian Bight.
Well that's a fine "how do you do?"
You'll need to zoom out significantly to get an image and some context for the plot of ocean claimed by my order number.
Thanks Meh! Now I can defeat ISIS.
sneaky-original-macaw
you don't understand how much I love socks.
@Lotsofgoats Maybe you should change our username to Lotsofsocks?
Cool. Thanks Meh!
Oh crap! I just moved last week. How do I change my address with you so I can get some socks. I don't wan that loser that moved into my old apartment to get my socks. I earned those socks by buying all the useless garbage you guys sell.
@rbabajtis from the FAQ - Q: How can I contact you? A: At our support form - https://meh.com/support. You can find it in our footer, too. Or, you could just send something to members@meh.com ---------- Also halp@meh.com is often tossed around as a contact email.
@rbabajtis bummer- once an order has generated, changing the shipping address is almost impossible.
@rbabajtis Well if you filed a change of address likely they'd be forwarded by the USPS. Write the new tenant of your apt and tell them where you now live so they can forward them for you if necessary.
Socks to be you (and me).
You guys =(
You guysssssss
Why did you send my socks to my mother. That's so backwards.
-Made of 75% Combed Cotton, 22% Polyester, 3% Spandex, 50% Good
Undersell, kind of deliver. Cool.
-Mid-performance socks fit all sizes up to men's size 12
I'm a size 13 shoe.
@BillLehecka At least they're not made of neoprene. @snapster They're not, right? Right?!?
@BillLehecka they'll fit size 13. source: i made them.
@Mehrocco_Mole o0o00o that smell!! That neo-prene-y smell!
I can only assume there's a smelly sock vibe going on with the order IDs...
rainy-smelly-vulture
This is effing hilarious. Bravo, Meh. Bravo.
Thanks for the socks.
Are these gonna match my $100 Elio t-shirt?
Still waiting on my Kindle HDX!!
I got 5 mails about this.
Do I need 8 more feet?
My mother can't make more.
I love free socks. I will wear them with pride. :)
sock it to me, meh!

which I really expected to yield a decent image.
I want a pony.
Thank you, Meh!

Zombie socks?
Oooo, my socks are on the frozen tundra of Nunavut territory, Canada!

Interestingly, you would want a heated dress that far north. Or heated pants. Whichever you are wont to wear.
Oh, and the image:
Oddly enough, tracking says it's in Gotha, FL.
@PocketBrain It was named for Gotha, Germany, which is a quick 30-minute drive from Germany's geographic center (and monument).
@PocketBrain - I haven't bought that much lately, and nothing's turned up in w3w. Awesome railing in the image.
@PocketBrain "The astonishing landscape of Lake Placid served as the inspiration and backdrop..." http://carolinaherrerabride.com/mr-mrs-obrien/
@KDemo There is a railing like that on a houseboat in Seattle...
My socks spent the weekend and most of Monday at the Dallas FedEx facility. If the delivery guy shows up wearing my socks...
My address has changed, what do I do so they don't send the socks to the old address? I can't figure out where to change my address.
@alpine They are probably going to send you a link to an order page, just like any other sale they have.... only the price is free. You should be able to set your address during that time.
@alpine Shoot, I just realized the last free thing they sent, they sent it to the office at my former job. That address was still in the system, it seems. I just deleted it. Hopefully it's not too late.
@alpine I'm hoping I figured it out right. I updated my address by opening a buy it dialogue on the current product. I deleted the old address still in the system. Last time they sent something out it was automatically sent to the address on file.
@alpine update it now. I bet there is still time before they print out the shipping labels.
@alpine Go to mediocre.com and look at the upper right (forum page) and you will find your orders under the person head icon, up there you can also modify personal information. I think you have to do it there rather than on meh.com as the order systems are not linked - at least I think that was the case last time.
@The_Tim Got my order confirmation email yesterday and it had my home address on it instead of the defunct work address. Phew!
@Kevin @Snapster I was also affected by the same issue and now my order is stuck in the abyss. Is there anyway to set a default shipping address, rather than having items shipped to the most recently used address? I asked for help with this issue the day that the order was generated and was told that I was SOL.
Can I pick the size? I hate when the heel is halfway up my leg.
@OneMHz These are special meh socks. The do not have heel-bends. So you can decide for yourself where to put your heel!
@RedOak I pick Putin's arse.
(To stick my heel)
@OnionSoup He'd likely enjoy that.
@RedOak So...tube socks? meh
ok, i admit it.. i totally misread the subject line in the email.
,,,and did it again here.
I have literally been debating signing up for Foot Cardigan, and also considering several other purchases of socks. I bought an ordinary package of plain socks in a big box store within the last two weeks, but I still have my eye on something with more than one shade.
And now this! Yay!

@pwinn debate no more. because we love mediocre (and possibly made these socks for them), we'll give you 10% any subscription by entering 'MEDIOCRE' at checkout :)
@bearsuit I only see foot pullovers on your website, no foot cardigans.
@brhfl you're not looking hard enough.
Haha mine is weedy and flammable
I also got 4 emails of the same sock...
Edit: 5 emails about the same sock.
@hanna 6 and counting here.
@hanna 6 here, too.
@hanna Just got another email. I think I'm up to 7.
with my luck I'll receive 1 sock, not a pair.
historical-promiscuous-snow - how apt.
So I can't pick my size? :/
I got 2 emails so far.
Nice, thanks. You didn't need to send 5 emails with the same order number, I hope that doesn't mean there's 5 pairs of these! Eh, if there were I would just give them in the next bogus gift exchange at work, but still!

I got 6 confirmations. So some spam with my socks. A fair trade. Think this warrants an OH-SHIT report? Probably not.
Thanks for the hosiery, Meh!

FREE FUCKING SOCKS, HELL YA BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!
I got an email that said "you're gonna get socks" but don't have an order number on the "My Orders" page. Should I? Even better, should I be worried ... or relieved?
@Sarahsda The order should be at https://mediocre.com/orders
@dashcloud Ah ... it's on the "My Orders" on the mediocre.com site but not on "My Orders" on meh.com. Interesting. Thanks for the clarification.
@Sarahsda I'm waiting nervously for the next phase: the Goatish order site. It's where the stuff they really didn't feel comfortable selling on either Meh or Mediocre will be. Oh wait, that's what the Fukus are for.
@OldCatLady no that is what their spite.com site is for - I'd suspect picking up where the glitter people left off, except we could possibly flood people with build neoprene - oh wait they already did that here...
My socks are going somewhere else :(
laborious-unsuitable-water
so I got these socks in the mail....
@visualseed
... living in Miami they kind of kill the whole Don Johnson Miami Vice sockless image thing but other than that they are pretty damn Meh.
No free socks for me!
Let me get this straight..... I was late to the "free VMP" thing.... I have PAID for VMP a for the last two months and still did not get any free socks.... Where's the love? Seriously. Where? And I see people complaining and wanting to cancel their VMP because it's not free anymore.... Really? TWO FREE MONTHS OF SHIPPING and you want to cancel now that you have to pay $5 FOR A WHOLE MONTH OF SHIPPING? WOW! I have never rec'd anything free from Meh since being a VMP member for the last two months and ordering more than a dozen items. Heck, I was even jipped out of an order of Neoprene sleeves (and I didn't even get in on the "good" deal of those-I actually paid $5 for 10, not 30/$8)... and didn't publically complain... I was basically told "sorry we ran out". Geez, you'd think maybe they would have sent me a pair of socks for the goof-up? Nope. Zip. Nadda. Zilch!
Seriously. Where's. The. Love?
And with the cold winter we have been having, they sure would have come in handy!
'Nuff said... Just had to get it off my chest... I feel better now.
@wildmomo Did you check the mediocre site for shipping info? It isn't listed on meh, just mediocre. If so, ignore, rant on.
@wildmomo Looks like your payment for VMP was declined right before the socks were sent out and you weren't able to set up another payment method until after we shipped them. I'm happy to send you some though! operative-ghastly-frog on the way, check mediocre.com/orders for tracking info.
@JonT WTG!
