That's why you only buy black or gray socks.

For some reason, my local supermarket had decent quality wool socks on sale at a very cheap price, so I bought twenty pairs.

So I now have an entire drawer full of identical socks, and hopefully won't need to buy more for another year or two.

But when you buy new ones you have to separate the old vs the new because they fit differently.

Not when you only buy new socks when the olds ones are beyond rescue....or you buy the same socks again and mix em up.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mix them all!!!

At first its easy to tell which is which, so naturally you'll gravitate towards the new ones leaving the old in the back of the drawer. After a year so, they'll all look the same.

If it is your goal to be mega boring...

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is saving time and making life easier for yourself mega boring to you?

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Let's just paint all walls white and all houses beige while we're at it, yeah?

No need for fun since it interferes with saving time and making life easier

Let's just paint all walls white and all houses beige while we're at it, yeah?

How would that save time?

Choosing paint colors is like choosing sock colors.

You choose a fun variety because just black and grey is boring.

I don't choose the colour of my house every morning though. More like once a decade for the outside.

Its true. The number of women who have declined a second date because I’m abhorrently boring.

The only reason I can think of to explain it is my 20 pairs of identical socks.

I can barely stand to read your ultra boring comment all thanks to your socks. I can't stop yawning.....help...
