    Sock is one of those words you don't pay attention to. The word 'socks' just looks weird.

    I have a sock + underwear drawer hybrid. Only problem is, when there's loads of socks, there's no underwear, and when there's loads of underwear, no socks! And there's NEVER matching socks.

    Moved form After Hours.
    Oh that's how you do that.
    I have one black sock on and one navy sock on.
    Until now I was sure they were the same colour and now I feel inadequate.

    Solution is simple

    Buy 20 identical pairs.
    Wear as usual.
    By the time nature has taken it's course you will have 20 socks left which you can make into 10 pairs
    Continue as above until you only have a single sock left, then start again
    (works for me anyway)
    In my case that is closer to the truth than you think. It reminds me of the wonderful 'Underpants Bots' sketch in South Part where the Bots (pseudo little people) continuously steal underpants and are warehousing them

    I keep finding old socks turning up in the most unlikely places. Under the washing machine or bed is commonplace. However I put on a fleece that had recently been washed only to find that while sitting on a plane flying to London I found a grey sock in the inside pocket. weird!
