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!
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.
Thats fuckin elite 😂
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
