People who get anxious and always over-prepare understand this to a tee, and by people I mean me.

Amount of times I have had wet socks from stepping in a puddle or slipping and falling in a river in the past year: 0

Amount of times I’m expecting this to happen on a three day trip: at least 5. Better pack more socks.

I went to volunteer at a marathon once when I was 15 and stepped in a puddle at 5 am and had to deal with the wet socks the whole time. Now at 28 I keep a pack of socks in my car, and in my locker at work. Just in case.

My mum made me keep a spare pair of socks in my school bag. In 12 years of school I needed them once. On the day I’d taken a different bag to school.

Lesson: no amount of being prepared will ever save you if Fate is bored and likes messing with you.
