If you were Lord of the Socks, would you care if your socks were unfaithful to your feet or to each other, as long as they keep your feet warm and didn't spread FTD (feetally transmitted diseases)?

My socks are cheating on each other all the time and it is very uncomfortable for my feet, we see them with other pairs and they look suspiciously rumpled. I have no idea what they are doing in the dryer but it is helping to procreate the idea of mixed sock marriages, it is a virtual Sodom and Gomorrah. I am waiting for lord of socks to come smite them but to no avail. If he doesn't smite them soon I fear for their mortal soles.

As Lord/Laundress of the Socks, I have to tell you that socks do not mate for life. Socks compete for the ultimate prize. Here's how it works. You buy a pack of 6 pairs that's 12 socks. 12 individuals competing to see who can outplay, outwear and outlast the others. As individual socks develop holes, they are thrown out and the other sock of that pair gets immunity. The sock with immunity is is grateful and celebrates as it is tossed back into the drawer. It is stored there until another sock gets voted off laundry island. Then the saved socks merge and form a new tribe of socks and the eliminations begin again. Eventually, there is only one sock. One sock that has earned the title of Sock Survivor. It is then tied in a knot and given to the puppy to play with. Victory is not always everything it is cracked up to be.

I am Mistress of the Socks and I don't give a damn what they do as long as there's a pair keeping my feet warm. I don't mind FTD by the way. They make life challenging.

You're weird. But oh well. I have lots of divorced socks in my drawer. Guess the others ran off with someone elses socks. . .or they got an FTD and died. I know a few of my socks changed occupations and became puppets. Ha, ha.

Personally, I can't stand socks. I never wear them. So, it really doesn't matter to me if they mate for life or one makes a trip to the dryer and never returns. I guess I am just not cut out for being Lord of the Socks.

Yes, socks not only mate for life, but they are born as "mates."
Even in the store, hanging on the racks, they are sold in pairs, or groups of pairs.
But I have to tell you.
Put them through the washing machine, and the divorce rate goes sky-high. They are separated and sometimes never reconcile. Some are never seen again!
It MUST be something in the water.

All my sock live together and swap mates frequently (I get them all the same color because there are so many that go MIA in their normal lifetime) I used to get several different colors but someone was widowed each laundry day.. I love the idea of sock infidelity... Jim

My socks are always running off with other socks somewhere between the HAMPER to the WASHER to the DRYER.
Unfaithful two-timers!!

I get upset when my socks separate and become un-useful because I can't go around wearing non matching socks.

Of course socks mate...
