“I have the ‘Box of Unmatched Socks’ on the floor of my bedroom closet.

Unmatched sock? Toss it in the box.
Every few months sort through the box and mates will be found!”

I use the big comfortable/padded chair we bought for my wife to nurse our oldest son 55+ years ago.

Due to damaged feet, I use at least 2 pair a day. It seems like one sock is always missing between taking them off, dropping them in the laundry basket and then doing the wash in the laundry room.

It used to drive my type A wife nuts until her post hip surgery, she often uses 2 pair of socks a day.

So now she joins me and half of that big chair is for her lost socks. The other half is mine.

Me too.
Daytime socks and the heavy nighttime fleece ‘slipper socks’
to keep my feet warm at night.

I use a trick.
I purchase 2 dozen at a time of the same brand and toss out all the others.
So when I got to them sock drawer I just grab any two and they match.
I have noticed that special boot socks are still subject fo the mysterious sock black hole influence but the interchangeable ones...who knows. Lol
