I can never find a pair of matching socks
 
I probably have 20+ pairs of socks but I can never find a matching pair when I need to. #firstworldproblems

I cannot be the only one who experiences this issue :(

That's why you buy a bunch of socks that are all the same color and size.

Should have few problems finding matches then!
Unless you somehow lose them all then uhhhh

idk what to say then.

Personally this is why I wear my flipflops for as long as I can during the year, no need to worry about socks!

I'd wear flip flops if I didn't hate how my feet looked :( They are so comfy

I am always careful about matching my socks, so I dont really worry about that haha. I wear flip flops most of the time anyways.

Irritates me a lot when that happens. D:

Nolafus July 20th, 2015 8:15 PM

All of my socks are either white or black. White for casual wear, and black for work. Simple!

This somehow happens to be a lot after I finish doing laundry. A lot of times I would use lose one half of the pair somehow, though sometimes the other pair comes back as a lot of times that particular sock fell somewhere.

literally everytime i have to find socks i dread it.

you can never just get a pair of perfect socks that are ready to be put on immediately.
every pair you find is too big or too small, unmatched, an improper color, a stupid pattern, ripped.. dirty.. the list goes on.

Ripped socks I hate so much also. Like half of mines have holes on them. D:

wearing different socks on each leg looks cool

Why in god's name do all of you keep your broken socks?

This guy gets it. It's a rare day if you see me wearing matching socks.

Hikamaru July 21st, 2015 7:48 AM

I have socks that lost their buddies by ending up in the wash while the other one didn't, and that seems to be happening with some of my socks right now. Doesn't help I have mainly been getting the same brands with the same colours lately.

some of us live with multiple people and just keep a sock bin in the living room for free grabs. :x;;

A communal sock bin. Huh. A few years ago for Christmas one of my grandparents knew a guy who worked at a sock factory. If the sock was defective in any way, it would just get trashed. He collected the trash socks and gave them to her, which she then passed on to us. We spent hours going through about a dozen huge trash bags of socks getting whatever we wanted. So we're all pretty much set for years now.

this used to be such a thing, I postulated this stupid Law of Three Socks: I only had two different designs, so I only needed to pick up max three socks to have a matching pair, but now there's so many different colors and stuff it's up to like 7 socks now and it literally takes minutes to find a pair

That seems a little unsanitary. What if someone has a rash or a fungus or something?

What he didn't mention is that the bin is also full of vinegar, so they're always sanitized.

they are clean socks omg. i have a washing machine guys jeez!!

starseed galaxy auticorn July 21st, 2015 9:14 AM

I don't wear socks so... I don't deal with this. :D I think it's a sensory issue. It's bad enough I have to wear shoes alone as it is. If I had my way, I'd be barefoot all of the time!

Leviathan July 21st, 2015 9:28 AM

It happens to me only when I want to wash said pair of socks. For some reason the other pair just seems to vanish into an alternate dimension, never to be seen again.

Detox July 21st, 2015 9:44 AM

hmmm I can't recall the last time I've actually lost a sock. I guess since I pay roughly $12 for a pair Ii make sure to keep up with and maintain them.

Habitat loss, I suspect. It's so hard to find socks in the wild now. Luckily sock breeding programs are helping bring their numbers back.

Vespy89 July 21st, 2015 9:56 AM

I have a hard time finding socks to wear most of the time cause usually they are no where to be found so i try to wear socks a long time.

Fockereller July 21st, 2015 11:51 AM

Gather socks with your eyes closed, accept whatever combination the gods have decided.

Astinus July 21st, 2015 1:33 PM

All of my socks are white. The same size, the same style, the same color. So whenever I'm wearing a pair and one sock has a hole in it, I can toss out that one sock and know that in a short while, I'll have a new partner for it.

I used to wear socks of color, but it got to be a pain when it came time to match them, or when one sock ripped and I'd have to throw out the entire pair even though the other sock was good.

Ever since I switched to all white socks, I haven't had to run around to buy socks as often.

Sometimes they're used for something else, like dusting something real quick. Otherwise I throw away most of the ripped ones.

Meganium July 21st, 2015 8:16 PM

since I moved to my own place, I never lost a single pair of socks. When I was living at my parents' house, I would end up losing a 10-pack of socks every two weeks, and it freaking sucks that I have to buy two packs every month. Glad it's not the case anymore.

Sonata July 21st, 2015 8:22 PM

I only buy white ankle cuts and I have about 50 pairs of long black socks that I've had since like 8th grade because thankfully my feet stopped growing so I didn't have to buy any more. I don't really have trouble finding matches for anything and I do laundry about once a week so I end up wearing all the same pairs of stuff and then just leave it in the basket until it's time to wear it. If my pants or shirts are too wrinkly just give them a nice quick iron and good to go.
