None out of the pairs of socks was missing
Shit, I currently have 3 orphan socks just hanging out in the drawer.
That’s because you lost both of them
Haha that’s almost remarkable enough to be not-dull!
Thats fuckin elite 😂
I’ve just been using the same brand of socks for ~15 years 🤷♂️ I just get like one pack every year and have never had to match anything since. I also have never understood the fancy-/patterned-sock craze, so that’s a non-issue.
I had this system for a few decades - I only owned identical black socks with a few white and grey stripes at the top. Any two socks was a pair.
It was unfortunately ruined by a well-meaning present, then destroyed when the shop they used to come from closed down.
Now I live in sock chaos.
I’ve been using the same couple packs of the same sock for almost ten years I think. I never walk in them without shoes, wash on delicate, have fine some really minor repairs on two or three socks, and they still look fine. Just regular puma socks, I dunno why they have lasted so long. It makes me unreasonably happy NOT to buy new clothes.
Pairing socks, and subsequently finding them paired when you need socks is severely underrated.
It’s the closest you can get to decreasing entropy in the universe
