I don’t care who you are, or where you live, there is a sock-devouring monster that lives somewhere in your house. It doesn’t matter if you connect your pairs of socks together with a chain made of some special aluminum alloy, your partnered pairs of socks will not stay together. If you have a house with multiple people, it is even worse. Wool socks, cotton socks, bamboo socks and cashmere socks all suffer the same awful fate.
So you do your laundry and end up with several left-overs which you dump in your drawer anyway reasoning that maybe next time those socks will find their mate. They never do.
So this is a cute idea for people who actually have laundry rooms- leave your unmatched socks somewhere visible so that when their long lost lovers finally do show up, they will be easy to locate and reunite.
