odd socks, lost thier partners.

Seriously whats the deal with socks.

I buy black socks so that i can pretty much wear any sock with any other. Im sly like that.

Now im so bored i just went through my socks and so far i found already 6 black socks that dont actually "properly" match in length or faded blackness to anything.

who takes my socks? Can moths eat a whole sock in one sitting? Do my feet stink so bad that now and then they disolve a sock? Do manafactures set 1 sock to self destruct so you have to buy new pairs for Christmas?

Something needs to be done.

happens to me too, I buy 10 packs from next and I still end up with little short 'greyish' efforts somehow ending up in the drawer :confused:

lol

Just make sure you wear jeans/trousers long enough to cover your socks and just wear them odd. All my socks are black and I have no idea if they're odd or not when I put them on, but nobody will ever notice anyway

I don't think i can find a single pair, well I can, but they have holes in.
Maybe the washing machine eats them, hmmmmm.

I've got a few singles myself, but ive bought the same brand of socks for years, so it doesnt really matter too much

tbh, they've expanded their business.

i _never_ wear matching socks. i sometimes go out of my way to wear odd socks. why? i dunno... always have. perhaps it's my way of "rebelling against the system"

vive le revolution!

I'm terrible for this

. My boyfriend used to wash his own socks, and always managed to get pairs together. Now he has half a drawer of odd ones waiting for the other one to turn up.
I probably have more unpaired socks than paired at the moment :confused:

I'm the same. Wanted to wear some trainer socks but out of 7 "pairs" none of them matched up :confused:

very bizzare

Hold up..

So you buy the same socks so you cant tell them apart... and then... you spend time trying to tell them apart...

Im not sure the socks are at fault.. sure.. blame the inanimate object..
