Caught myself buying packs of new socks for 6 months straight before realizing why

I kept running out of socks and buying 6-packs at Target every few weeks. Figured I just wore through them fast cause I'm on my feet all day landscaping. Then last month I dumped my laundry basket out to sort and found 14 mismatched single socks. My wife pointed out I never check the dryer for the mates before buying new ones. Now I keep a spare mesh bag for lost socks, has anyone else accidentally created a sock hoard without noticing?

Ha, that's both hilarious and way too relatable! Do you think it's more of a laziness thing where you just didn't want to dig through the dryer, or were you legit convinced the socks were vanishing into thin air? I only ask because I've caught myself doing the exact same thing with charging cables and it's always pure denial on my part.

Oh man, same thing happened to me but with work gloves from the hardware store.

My glove drawer has 17 lefties and 3 righties somehow.
