Between the 2 of us there are about 28 mateless matches.

Ah, the single sock mystery.
I pair my socks before I put them away, and oddly still end up with singles sometimes. Right now I believe I have two. I'm holding onto them in hopes that their twins will return from the space warp before I do my annual sock purge.
I also buy socks in multiples, like four to six pairs of the same sock, then I can pair them with their cousins when their twins disappear.
I take them off together, they go into the laundry together. Somehow between laundry basket and drawer, they run away. There's probably a huge black market in runaway single socks somewhere...

I have about a dozen. The number fluctuates. Sometimes another sock will disappear or wear out, so I'll reunite two orphan socks.
I think I've been holding on to some of my orphan socks for a decade. I don't even know if they still fit.
Maybe someday I'll move them to the cleaning rags pile.

I've only got one sock that doesn't have a mate, but that's because most of my socks are black and match up anyway, lol. The loner is a random blue one.

All but one pair of my socks are unmatched.
The one pair that do match are footy socks!
