DR. MARK BENECKE: WGT Diary 2022 (9/60) – Confetti? Dero? Fluffy socks? (3/3)

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

16:21: On the way to the ribbon handover, a hearing aid acoustician offers something with nature as a model. The photo shows a tiger that looks like a sock puppet and wears a hearing aid in its mouth.

Problems arise shortly before the ribbon handover. And it’s with Ines’ tights: “I realized again that you can’t wear tights without fluffy socks. Fluffy socks are a very important issue if you want to walk around in boots and fishnet stockings for a long time.” Mark: “Why?” Ines: “Because otherwise you scrub your feet open, which is what’s happening to me right now. Now I have to take off my fishnet tights and put on normal ones. Because otherwise my feet get sore. And I don’t have any fishnet socks.” Mark: “But the issue doesn’t end there.” Ines: “I do have another pair of tights underneath, but they’re not thick enough.” Mark still has a lot to learn about tights. A lot. Ines adds, “You can’t understand this unspeakable suffering at all.” Mark: “How do you feel?” Ines: “Quite terrible.” Mark: “Misunderstood?” Ines: “Yes.” After what feels like half an hour, Ines comes back from the toilet of the WGT hotel. She reports, “I accidentally tore it!” Mark: “Now what?” Ines: “Now not only do I not have fluffy socks, I don’t have fishnet tights either.” It’s getting worse and worse!
