Last time he used white and maybe even other coloured socks too meaning there are even more socks in this house.
I need to know why do you have so many socks u/DearEmphasis4488

I buy all my socks at once. So at any time I have 20 of the same socks, so if I lose one I still have 19 that match.

That way I never get missing single socks. Pretty useful.

Years ago I threw out all my socks and got a ton of the same sock, figuring that as I lose/wear out socks I can just get more of those and the matching is so much less important.

Now that I'm starting to think "I should buy another pack of socks", they don't make that specific kind anymore. So now I have to decide, do I do the same thing, throw out every sock, get all the same again? or do I get a very similar style? Which means then I'd either have to accept my socks not matching anymore or look very closely to match them...or I could just give up and get socks that work and put myself back where I started, a pile of unmatched socks

For that reason I buy clothes every 2 years. I just spend a whole week buying, making everything match and I don’t worry about clothing for another 2 years.
