I really hate matching socks, it seems like such a waste of time. Every time I do laundry I think to myself "There has got to be a way to make the socks match themselves". I mean the dryer is already moving the socks around, and probably bringing every sock by every other sock. Can't there be a way to make like socks attract, stick together?
Alas, 29 years and I still haven't thought of anything :-(
- josefresco 18y agoSolution, have all your socks be .... wait for it ... THE SAME I work off 1 big package of socks at a time. Matching them is easy because they're all the same. Genius.
- randallsquared 18y agoI try to do this, but when I go to buy socks, they never have the kind I bought last time. Instead they'll have pointlessly changed the design, or the color will be slightly darker or lighter, or they'll have changed from sizes of 6-8, 9-11, 12+ to new improved sizes of 7-12 or something, meaning I have to either have socks that fit less well or change brands, which means they don't match any longer... it's all pretty annoying. Lots of cheap, interchangeable goods are like this: if you don't buy them every week, every time you go to the store all the options are different.
- jerf 18y agoWhite socks. I have white socks. There's always socks in the store that are white, or possibly grey in areas covered by shoes. To notice that my two white socks don't perfectly match, someone would have to come up to me and roll up the legs of my jeans. At this point, I believe they've got me beat on the "social faux pas" scale. Socks are cheap enough that I throw them out individually if they get holes, or, rarely, if I just don't like how they feel. Most of the time I just get on with it. I have a much smaller pool of black socks for formal events. Right now I've got "too thin" and "too thick" black socks, but I wear them rarely enough I don't worry about trying to find any that are "just right". I don't spend much time worrying about socks. I don't spend $10 a year worrying about socks, let alone per month.
- bena 18y agoWhite socks ftw. I can't believe people have a problem with this. I learned this from my father when I was still a young boy. Buy white socks, stop worrying.
