I hate matching socks.
I'm 21 years old and while this clearly means I'm going to be young forever, it in NO way means I have a) the patience to fold my socks as they come out of the laundry or b) the time to find matching ones when I'm rushing out of the house.
The sock is the least important garment and the greatest hassle in virtually every way. Socks are the least durable and visible, most time consuming to sort, smelliest, easiest to forget when packing for a trip and universally irrelevant in contribution to the dynamic of one's appearance so long as they match! Fucking socks... how I hate them.
The baseless demand for symmetry in society has made a laughing stock of he who's seen wearing mismatched socks and in the same way one would comment to another that their shoes are untied, one would comment to another that their socks don't match.
Why is this?
Everyone has known the experience of being told their socks don't match on the day after they'd forgotten to do laundry and yet the reason for vocalizing this observation has never been questioned despite there being no way to remedy the situation. Nobody keeps a spare sock in their back pocket so they can harmonize their footwear at a moment's notice, so why is it that at the second of realizing another's socks don't match one pounces upon them like a rabid midget?
It's because the asymmetrical sock wearing person is a subject of public mockery that must be scrutinized and laughed at, even though both parties involved are completely oblivious to this fact. It's under the guise of constructive criticism the comment is made despite, as was previously stated, there's no way to harmonize this error.
Such times we live in... God help us all.

I'm so anal retentive that no only to I match my socks but they must be mated a certain way in my sock/underwear drawer.

here's what you do:
1) throw out all of your socks. every sock you own.
2) put on sandals.
3) go to the store, and buy 25 pairs of the exact same sock.
4) wear and wash as needed.
5) wait 1 year.
6) repeat steps 1-5.

Buy a fuck load of socks from a wholesale.
When a sock is missing you won't notice, when holes appear toss them out.

Buy a pack of large safety pins. Put them on a string above the hamper, basket or chute. Before you toss them in, pin the socks together. Anal retentive, yes, but problem solved.
