I don’t even match them anymore. If one gets a hole, I throw it out and keep its old friend. I just grab two singles and toss em on. Unless I’m wearing dress pants and showing my socks… which basically never happens.

All my white socks are the same, they all go in the same drawer together after laundry and just pull out 2 as I need them.
Exception being the newest socks, they stay paired up until they dont look new anymore.

I would guess it probably saves me 90 seconds per week or so. Extremely minimal, and now I've burned this weeks savings by posting about it.

But I don't think I'd get any benefit whatsoever out of having more sock variety, so it seems like all upside.

The amount of people that just stop in the road and throw their hazards on thinking its okay if I block this lane of traffic just grinds my gears. To the struggler on 5th ave the over night who completely biffed pulling into the curb lane and ended up at a 45 degree angle taking up the curb and adjacent lane you need to be shot into the sun.

*Damning* them is more satisfying.

I got Progressive from Flo. I bundled my home and auto insurance and saved a bunch.

My granddaughter brought a sock-darning gadget with her Christmas visit. It looked like a miniature loom that taught her how to weave the yarn across the hole. She values her picturesque socks.

I’m actually embarrassed that I don’t know what this and that I haven’t done it. Next sock is getting darned.

Sounds like we've got a hell of a Flames fan here.

I got a handy from Flo once. Did not come with an insurance option, but it was satisfying.

You're darned if you do, and darned if you don't.

Hey! I got progressives from Knut, too! Is he running some kind of racket selling glasses or something? He told me I was special. Maybe he meant something else. (Although, to be honest, I am sitting here with a gator strap on my glasses as they need to be adjusted, and it stops them slipping down my nose, and I have to do the nerd tweak every two minutes. Maybe I am 'special')

I don't have to move my head at all. When I look at my screens, it goes to the bottom of the glasses, and when I look at paper or my phone, it automatically goes to the top. I wouldn't wait too long to talk to him again. It may be an adjustment thing, or how high you have your monitor?

Or post your opthalmothicology questions on the internet? That may help too.

To really blow your minds... who folds their underwear and who just tosses it into a drawer to be drawn out like a kleenex? I must say I generally fold but then I think what the hell am I doing? and toss it all in the drawer. No one has ever complained about my wrinkly boxer briefs. What is inside though? Wrinkly as #### but I aint steaming that junk and folding won't help.

I just throw all my clothes into this magical basket and a few days later it appears in my drawers, all clean and folded. No idea what happens once it goes in, but it's pretty amazing. You guys should give the magic basket approach a try.

On the tip or elsewhere is whatever. But if it's on the foot of the sock (usually), it's really weird and annoying to walk on.

Plus socks are dirt cheap, so it's less effort and headache to replace for a few bucks vs spending the effort to repair and have the kids whine about it.

Darning and repairing other types of clothing makes sense, but socks... not really.
