Finding Socks That Match
So I'm one of those lazy people that leaves my T's, socks, and underwear in a laundry basket until I need them. I must have 40 pair of dress socks that I can never find a match for. The last time I bought some, I went with the kind that has a gold toe so I could more easily find a match. It hasn't helped at all, and I can't stand to wear dress socks that don't match perfectly. I may just toss them all out and go buy a bunch of socks that are the exact same brand and style.
I'm a little more lenient with athletic socks, but I still want a match for those.

TM, next time you do laundry, pin the matching socks together.Tambourine Man wrote:So I'm one of those lazy people that leaves my T's, socks, and underwear in a laundry basket until I need them.

Re: Finding Socks That Match
My gf does the laundry. She's sweet enough to fold and hang all my other clothes, but I don't blame her for not messing with the socks and whatnot. Part of the reason I have so many socks is that I used to just go out and buy more instead of doing laundry. I've got socks everywhere!Molly wrote:TM, next time you do laundry, pin the matching socks together.Tambourine Man wrote:So I'm one of those lazy people that leaves my T's, socks, and underwear in a laundry basket until I need them.

Re: Finding Socks That Match
Next time you go to a laundromat, take one of your "divorced" socks and put it in someone else's laundry basket. Let them go nuts looking for a match.Tambourine Man wrote:So I'm one of those lazy people that leaves my T's, socks, and underwear in a laundry basket until I need them.

Re: Finding Socks That Match
I try to buy lots of the same socks. Then it only becomes an issue when you get to the last one.

Same here. I have black socks, brown socks, and white low cut socks for my tennis shoes.lukethedrifter wrote:I try to buy lots of the same socks. Then it only becomes an issue when you get to the last one.

When none of your socks match, that means they all match.

I do this with the rest of my clothing because I'm lazy.Tambourine Man wrote:So I'm one of those lazy people that leaves my T's, socks, and underwear in a laundry basket until I need them.

Dude, that's lame when your GF does everything else. Anyway, now you and Reyes can both be called Socks. You're in good company at least.
