but why should i even have to think about putting socks together? im running out of the will to do stupid things. matching socks is starting to seem like maybe one of those.

also, it can be distressing to lose a sock in some cases. i’m missing a wool pantherella sock, i have the one, waiting for its mate. they were kind of expensive. i think they’re like 20 or 30 dollar socks?

now, one is missing, and i feel bad.

It’s been weeks. I think it is gone.

if I had only this type, I wouldnt even know if one were missing.

not only would i never have to match socks again, i would never have to know if one is missing.

Furthermore when one sock fails, you can toss the one and hold on to the other until he fails too.l, and he can live out the remainder of his useful life with a new friend.

Why would anyone ever have a variety of mismatched socks.

I could see say 7 pair blue, 7 athletic, and 5 wool?

But this sock chaos, it’s another example of the perils of too much choice. Basically we have every conceivable sock, but that traps us in sock hell. I blame capitalism.
