Replying to Pyrrhic #swiss_army_cheese I get really bothered with the idea of people buying me lots of black socks. It does NOT make it easier to find a pair. When you are given a variety of socks, you can instantly know when you have a matching pair or not But if they're all mostly black, I spend so much time staring at them, searching for brand markings, comparing sizes, checking if all the frills are exactly the same when they're inside out and not inside out, and heaven help me if one sock in a pair has lost it's elasticity.
This happens to me too actually. Sometimes two socks that look functionally the same feel different because they’re of different brands
