Matching Socks

[Harald]

Yes I always wear matching socks but that is probably beacause the store I go to to buy socks only have one type of sock in my size.

 

[Irish Caesar]

My socks always match; I wear white cotton socks pretty much every day, although I do wear black ones with nicer clothes (as it is a necessity), and when hiking, I tend to wear wool socks over polypropylene sock liners.

And they only go on my feet.

Bad lot those gnomes. Do you have any interesting socks? When was the last time you bought socks? Yesterday for skiing. Do you buy your own socks or does someone buy your socks for you? Both. Have you ever received socks as a gift? Si. Have you ever given socks as a gift? Never. Do you have a lot of the same kind of socks? Diversity is good. Are your socks in good condition? Yes. Wholly socks are blasphemous. Do you prefer short or long socks? Situational really. Do you wear socks with sandals? Baaaaaaaaaaahhh!Where do you keep your socks? Closet drawer. Do you have a favorite sock? Paul Konerko. Do you do anything with socks other than put them on your feet? Cheer for them? Do you get nice socks, or cheap socks? Nice. How many socks do you own? 50ish not accounting for runaways. What do you do when you lose a sock? CheckThe dryer. When the laundry machines eat a sock, where do you think it goes? Duh..the sock gnomes

Spoiler :

You guys know gnomes. The little gremlins are only dependable for one thing, and that's mischief. Gnomes are like a tiny version of the Mafia: they insinuate themselves into everything, usually without the general populace knowing. Here's the general routine for a sock gnome:

• At Gnome Central, locate your washer and dryer on the GSC (gnomish supercomputer).
• Using advanced technology and the RFID tags previously placed into your socks at the factory by RFID gnomes, who are also everywhere, the gnomes pick out socks that look appealing and will sell for much money.
• Select some tools. Popular choices are grappling hooks, crowbars, and squeaky shoes.
• Hop in the Gnomemobile and drive to your house.
• Sneak in through a window, making sure to knock out dogs and/or small children with tranquilizer darts. These are removed once the gnomes are inside — they wouldn't want people to find the darts and analyze the tranquilizers, as gnomes are also years ahead with their chemistry.
• Using the backdoors built into your washer and dryer by backdoor gnomes at the factory, enter the machine.
• Make away with socks, making sure not to take too many of the same kind — wouldn't want to make prices fall by flooding the market with Abe Lincoln socks. Gnomes are also economics geniuses.
• Sell the socks, either on eBay or through the sock black market.
• Buy crack cocaine and Huey Lewis and the News albums.
• Have a fun evening.

[Swedishguy]

I only wear socks when I wear shoes. When I don't I'm barefoot. It's comfortable that way.

 

[King of Town]

I work in a place where you have to dress professionally everyday, but I take my one act of rebellion in wearing white socks no matter what. I do what I want and the chicks dig it.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

All my socks are black. They go well with my sole pair of black shoes.

So yes to all the matching questions.

 

[El Koeno]

I occasionally wear one black sock and one white sock, as an anti-racism statement. Other than that I usually don't sort my socks and just pick two random socks, and they match about half of the times I guess.

Who cares about socks anyway?

 

[amadeus]

Mostly white, so I guess they match.

 

[Stapel]

I try to have only one model of socks that way I don't care if one is missing, I can still have a pair

This is the only way to beat the one-of-a-pair-of-socks-eating-monster inside the laundry machine.

 

[AL_DA_GREAT]

My socks match. I wear mostly black socks, unless I'm playing sports in which case it's white socks. I try to have only one model of socks that way I don't care if one is missing, I can still have a pair.

Socks is in my opinion something that can really show how poor a taste in clothing you have.

Why white when you play sports, it shows the sweat.

 

[brennan]

Ok let me state here that this

Spoiler :

is really bad taste. You don't wear white socks other than when doing sports.

I know, I know. A lot of people do it around here.

indeed, white socks with jeans or dark pants is a big nono

I've never understood the "OMG White Sox!!!!!" thing.

Seriously, who gives a smeg? I certainly don't.

I find my flatmate's socks everywhere. In the garden, all over the floor in every room. On the sofa. On the kitchen worktop. In the toilet (once). needless to say, I find this behaviour quite revolting. /rant

Yo uspelt that last option wrong. It should have been "Socks are for the Week".

 

[El Koeno]

I've never understood the "OMG White Sox!!!!!" thing.

[...]

I totally agree. They're just socks for crying out loud! Who cares if you happened to have stumbled across a pair of white socks just after (or before, I personally don't like to wear socks while I'm not wearing pants, but it might be a personal thing) stumbling across your dark pants in the morning?

 

[Sofista]

For a long time I had a taste for not matching socks. Now it's all the same, long pants mostly cover them, but still I love matching my beloevd red socks with other ones.

The craziest pair I owed was a pair of shocking pink socks. Usually separated and matched with a black sock.
