Why is it such a freakin' trial to find matching socks around here?

[kedrys]

I'd really like to know. :P

[Archae]

1. Do like I do.

Buy socks all of one color. ;-)

[kedrys]

3. I'm holding in my hand 6 black socks

No two of which constitute a pair.

Since I wore them all (in matching pairs) before putting them in the laundry, I'd like to know where the other damn 6 socks are. That's all I'm sayin'. :rofl:

[AllegroRondo]

8. according to my daughter

the closet monster eats them

he's also responsible for hiding the TV remote

[Arkansas Granny]

9. My youngest son always maintained that the monster lived in the

washer. You could put pairs of socks in the washer, but you got singles back out.

[sarge43]

7. Yup. Only way to deal with rogue socks. n/t

[billyoc]

2. If you look at them carefully, I mean REALLY look at them,

do your feet really match? :hi:

[kedrys]

4. Er, mostly

I don't think a scant millimeter's length difference between my left and right foot counts, do you? :P :hi:

[Katina]

5. didn't anyone warn you about

the washing machines appetite? It eats socks for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

[MissMillie]

6. My son used to leave his socks all over the house

I have a cat who decided she had to rid us of the menace that was the sock infestation (apparently, since there were no mice in the house to kill, she felt the need to hunt socks).

Most of the time, she would leave her "kill" on my bed, in tribute.

It would be really fun to catch her walking around the house w/ a sock in her mouth... a muffled "meow"...

Here's the little sock slayer now:

[skygazer]

10. I buy the same socks in one color

And no matter what, I always have an odd number of them.

11. You know the rings around Saturn? They're formed by all the

world's lost socks. There's a worm hole in your washer with a direct connection.

I solved the problem by clipping my two socks together with a rubber band before they go into the dirty clothes. I never have to search for sock mates any more.

[kedrys]

14. That's brilliant!

No problems with the dryer part of the event? :hi:

[RushIsRot]

17. No problems for me. I've been doing this for years.

I suspect Saturn is less than pleased, but it can always go back to gathering moon-dust. :hi:

[One_Life_To_Give]

12. Well, you could just wear tights

[kedrys]

13. ROFL!

Technically, I could, but aside from lead-melting temperatures lately, there are, er, other issues associated with that. :rofl:

[trof]

15. Who wears SOCKS?

:shrug:

[kedrys]

16. There's this whole shoe thing

When I do wear shoes, I have to wear socks. My feet can't stand going commando. :P

I of course avoid wearing shoes if I can, but there are those times...
