my socks don't fit

who, in their right mind would even suggest, let alone publish, the idea that a sock that fits my size 7 (40 European) foot will also fit the size 12 (46 European) belonging to my friend davereed?

let me guess: john w. size-eleven, who likes his socks slightly tight but not so tight they constrict the blood flow. who was in the focus group? sammy size-ten with his loose but not so loose that they bunch in my birkenstocks?

seriously. my socks don't fit. i do not appreciate the heel-seam scrunched up above my ankles, just above my shoe for all to see. i do not appreciate such huge generalizations. i don't care what sizes for which you consider your socks to be of adequate length. my socks still don't fit.
