I do. My daughter does. Neither of us ever lose socks. Sometimes one sock gets a hole and then its buddy is lonely but we don't LOSE socks.

That is amazing that you don't lose them. I honestly don't know where they go. They're not under the bed. My kids don't take them off in public, but a good 8 single socks per person are leftover after Months of laundry.

Feed them to the washing machine.

I collect them on top of the dryer then use them to dust the blinds.

Op here. My kids often go to school with mismatched socks. They don't care, but at some point I should, right?

There are maybe a dozen occasions per year when you should care.

Went to work today in mismatched socks. Was wondering if my boss noticed.

My boss noticed once. I was a 24 year old childless server. Was not fired.

The socks go into a box for 'missed connections.' If, after a month, a proper mate cannot be found, then the socks are banished to the trash can.

You are a genius. So do I throw out the entire family's sock stash and start from scratch? My kids are still young (6 and 8) so they're growing. Is it still worth it?

It's what I did. Ordered them, threw out all the socks when they arrived, then slowly threw out all the ones I missed. Never looking back. I did replace kid socks with the same type/brand the first time but a size up and that made things a little trickier (trying to find all the 2/3s) so not sure if I would do that part the same again

Matching socks? Who does this?

We all have all identical socks so this never happens.

Put them in one big unmatched socks pile and dig through it when I have time to pair. Which I never so. So sometimes we wear clean mismatched socks.

Let's say you just folded a pile of laundry, each family member has a smattering of unmatched socks. Where do they go?

Do you put each person's unmatched socks in their sock drawer? In a commingled box of unmatched socks to be checked over after each laundry folding?
