Annoying Christmas presents

My family know by now that I am not a very willing recipient of presents. Mainly guilt due to being too idle to bother buying anything for them. However, this year, in an attempt to cooperate in the festivities, I let it be known that I needed a replacement pair of slippers. To minimise the effort involved, I specified source, style and size. What could go wrong? The slippers were unwrapped and appeared to conform exactly as requested. Except.... they removed (as in took off) my socks! As covered in the thread on why carpet mats move about, these slippers have a carpet like lining. Drawing over the foot orientates the mat strands towards the toes and they spend the rest of the day ratcheting the sock in the same direction:-(

Cats & dogs are normally a good thing. But the last dog was a lunatic.
