Very few socks mate for life
@donni yours too? I have like a drawer full of singles.
🤣
@donni The dryer makes a very desirable partner..

@donni
Socks have a fascinating & complex but little studied or documented culture & spirituality. Socks start out paired, but then, after an indeterminate time, need to separate to go on a solitary spiritual journey/walkabout. Sometimes one never returns. Other times you will find it months later stuffed in the corner of that fitted sheet you were too lazy to fold properly or unaccountably shoved down between the box spring & the bed frame.

Such is the mystery of Sock.♾️🧦

@CesFelber @donni I find that one or the other of the pair will usually develop a “holier-than-thou” attitude vis-a-vis their mate, and this starts a spiral of idleness from their regular work patterns. Unless they are of the Bombas tribe, there is little that can be done to redeem them.
@donni Dryer lint is the cremated remains of your missing socks.
@bopflu @donni I wish I could give you 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ you really made me laugh out loud (while I’m eating dinner no less)
@donni those that do, wear out faster.
@donni @leonieke It’s not that. They *want* to, but there are dark forces at work that keep driving them apart. The Dryer. The Cat. Human Messiness. Sharp Toenails…
@ClaudetteK @donni O no! Socks will use any excuse to appear monogamous! Don't fall for their transparent ploys.

@leonieke @donni You mean … it’s all just an elaborate act?! They’re … they’re … promiscuous but tricking us into feeling sorry for them by pretending they’re star-crossed pairs of innocent socks??

I feel so used!

Triangle Toot Party!
@donni i had heterochromia sockium the other day
@donni mine do, but they're all clones.
@donni My socks are definitely poly-amorous.

@donni

Buy. All. One. Color. And live a sad, very unfancy life.

@donni for a moment there I thought you were imparting, in a friendly way, wisdom about the true number of socks required for true happiness. I felt strangely deflated when I realised this wasn't actually my Mr Myagi moment.
@donni 0 around these parts.
@donni not with that attitude

@donni I read this in the manner of an Australian giving bad news to his feet.

"Very few socks, mate, for life"

@donni

my socks are in an open relationship

@donni i have a flock of identical socks. Only difference is age.
@donni my sock pairs fall out when one is holier than thou
@donni this is so true! I have taken to wearing mismatched socks almost all the time

@donni

I think most of my socks are on Grindr and AFF.

@donni
Most of mine are separated, living apart.
