My youngest never has matching pairs, she just chucks them in a heap and picks out the first two she comes to.
I have my eldest grandson living with me currently (he's 25) and he does the same.

I could do the same with mine as they are all black and identical. Always put them away in pairs though.

Anti-OCD probably.

I have to put them away in pairs so I know they all went through the wash and none got lost. If different colours I find day light or LED lights show the colours best when putting them in pairs.

I've solved the issue of losing one of a pair or putting them in the washing machine a size 11 and getting by way of return a size 1 that may just fit a 2 year old.

I don't wear them anymore in the house.

Here's a different question......

You know if you have to evacuate a building in the event of a fire alarm - you shouldn't run, but instead do it in a timely manner......?
Why do the fire exit signs show a running person ? :-k

Good point! And on a related theme, this notice in buildings of several floors always cause me concern: ' In Case Of Fire Do Not use Lifts'

Never realised lifts were such a serious fire risk...

(I'm a shocker for reading notices rather too literally and interpreting them in an unintended way.)

I found a way to easily choose matching socks.
For more than the last 10 years I have bought "colourful" socks. Selection below.
