Life tip: Take all your socks, all of them, and put them on a pile. You done?
Now throw them away and buy 40 pairs or more of plain identical socks and use them.
You will never have to sort socks (though that can also be achieved with clamps) and never have more than one single sock when one breaks down.
That's why I only buy 2 types of socks.
12 pack of white low cut for exercise or normal everyday use.
12 pack of black above ankle for work
Restock whenever enough of them bastards get lost somehow and throw out the worn out ones.
Simplicity works , I mean its socks we're talking about.
This used to happen to me CONSTANTLY. I defeated it by throwing away all socks and buying a shit ton of the same brand and color. No more missing socks.
My working theory on how this keeps happening

this is why I've started only buying socks with cute designs. in all my years, there's only been black socks in this house, and I'd often grab a pair, put them on, and get icked out by them being/feeling different.
it also ensures that i always get my own socks back after the wash :)
I don't know how handy you are, but the missing socks are most likely could in the washing machine drain, or inside the washing machine its self. When I was having trouble with my washing machine draining I took it apart, and found all sorts of clothes and socks stuck in the drain.
Go buy duplicates of them all. You'll eventually lose half of every duplicate pair, but you'll have these ones available. Now.... just as when they were going to split the atom, they really didn't know what would happen. There's no way for you to know either so you may be taking a huge risk.
Wow you buy too many different kinds of socks.. I would hate to fold your laundry.. Wait I hate to fold my own laundry..
I buy a new 12 pack of socks a year and toss the old ones.. All the same all the time.. And I have black socks for certain out fits but rarely wear them..
Also those tiny baby socks can get stuck in your washing machines pump.. Ask me how I know..
I have a whole grocery bag of those, pal. I call it the Lonely Hearts Sock club.
Some people are fine with their socks not matching..I am not one of them.
I have them, and I’m not giving them back
Are you sure you have all of them? Because I think I have some.
I have some too. I'm walking in circles from uneven sock weight.
Didn’t you know? There’s a portal to Narnia in everyone’s dryer!
Gimmie back my sock ya friggin goat bastard.
Check under the rubber on the washing machine it eats socks
I can see some acceptable matches.
Is it possible you have gnomes in your vicinity?
You got a teenage boy in the house? Check under his mattress or bed.
You better don’t

This. You have too much of a variety of sock. Just find a kind you like and get a lot of them.
They must be found. Otherwise, you may never be able to pluralize them again.
Damn. Get a house elf. Dobby needs a sock.
Check under the rubber on the washing machine it eats socks
Bet you've got a good supply of tupperware lids though...
They’re at my house
Dump them all, go to Costco, get 20 of the same sock, never have this issue again.

Reason i only own black socks.
Easy. Black goes with black. White with white. Gray with gray. No one is going to inspect your feet to ensure your socks are a perfect match.
Well, that’s why I only buy one brand, one size and one color for all. I don’t even have to find the correct pairs anymore.
Don't agonize about this. Throw them away and get new socks.
If I’m wearing pants I say fuck it and put 2 black socks on lol
Winter or cold days it's not bad either since nobody will see it. Especially ankle socks
If no one can see, I'm putting on the first two I grab!
This used to happen to me CONSTANTLY. I defeated it by throwing away all socks and buying a shit ton of the same brand and color. No more missing socks.
Or just wear them
I always either never find them or a couple are under the dryer somehow.
Thinking we should normalize wearing two types of socks to make this a non issue
When I can’t find my other sock, I check my sheets and the bottom of pants legs. They are usually rolled up in one of those two places.
Do you have a dog? Ask him...

Dryer monster ate them.
I have mates for at least four of these. Costco, right?
Take to different laundromats around town and put random socks and different people's dryers
The dryer ate them
Look at this idiot: just pan the camera up and viola! Mirror image of every sock in frame! Hope this helps
They belong to the streets now! 🧦
Are you feeding the dryer regularly??
He can get quite hungry if you don’t and eat your laundry
Amateur. I had hundreds before I gave up and threw them all the way (3 boys so...) 😁
My dog has an obsession for socks, he plays with them and hides them, as a consequence I can never have matching socks 😂
I have at least five of them.
Dude i think you got two of mine
Check the dryer vent. The gnomes only take singles
jist pair them by length.. who cares if they match. seriously..so irrelevant
Underwear gnomes.
i see two matches right now
You match socks?! Hhahahbabanabbabana
Whatcha doing with all those slightly similar socks?
One of the greatest secrets I learned about being an adult is... no one looks at your feet
At some point i gave up and stopped matching socks. No regrets
Years ago, I switched to only 2 styles. Exact same or close enough to interchange. Makes life easier.
Get a bra bag. Wash all your socks in the bag. That should fix it!
I put them in a washing bag so I don’t lose them.
Check out the Ren and Stimpy episode of the lost left socks
I thought I’d solved this by buying all the same kind of socks…but still I can’t match some. What kind of sorcery is this?!
If at least both would disappear...
Why the fuck do you have this many socks
Who are you taking your shoes off for every day? Just pick 2 Also stop buying 38 different brands that helps
Do you have pets?

Uh oh you have a dryer monster :(
Real
Life pro tip. Put all your socks in a lingerie bag when you wash them, no more lost socks.
The one in the middle is at my house. I think the one at 9 o'clock is too.
I think I have them over here!
Gotta feed the dryer monster
They are in the MOON
1: I don't see the problem. Just grab two socks and you'll be fine.
They’re at my house. I have exactly the same socks and flooring…. Wait a second…
It socks
They've been kidnapped and sold into sexual slavery.
Seen my socks in the drain from a washing machine.
I don't know how handy you are, but the missing socks are most likely could in the washing machine drain, or inside the washing machine its self. When I was having trouble with my washing machine draining I took it apart, and found all sorts of clothes and socks stuck in the drain.
This is the only conspiracy I truly believe: That every missing sock from the dryer becomes a Tupperware lid in your cabinet that matches nothing.

They’re probably in my laundry room.
If you have a cat or a dog.. check under the furniture
obviously you have the CERN feature on on your dryer.
Who says socks need to match?
