I declined to vote, as I suspect I am an outlier adn should not be counted. I buy myself vast quantities of socks (probably 30/3months) and my wife steals them, and presumably consumes them. I currently have 4 pairs I purchased 15 pairs in late november.

How is it possible to buy that many socks and not be buried under a hoarder-style pile...?
(Perhaps your wife has a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pica_(disorder) … or is secretly a Siamese cat. Or both.) -
I dare not speculate what happens to the socks. I suspect dark sorceries are at work in my home.

Sometimes when I know I'll need good socks for a future event (wedding, etc.), I pull a pair, sometimes weeks in advance, and put them in my gunsafe. I'm not kidding. I really do this. It's the only way to ensure their safety.

I don't know what is going on in your house, but I look forward to reading about it in a few years in

I feel observed, I just did a massive socks cleanup to get rid of socks I don't use anymore, I don't know how they accumulated so fast.

Oh no, Kondomania has claimed you too?

Don't worry, you spark joy in my TL!

The boiling frog metaphor really should be replaced by the disappearing socks metaphor: If someone loses half their socks at once, they'll go buy new ones. If they lose one sock a week, they'll wait until they're desperately low on socks before buying more.

I replaced all my socks with Darn Toughs which have a lifetime warranty. Super comfortable and hole-free (so far). They're expensive but worth it, especially if you amortize over your lifetime!

Not that you asked, but Darn Tough ftw.

I also settled on Darn Tough after testing many brands. My sense was the socks started off slightly worse, but kept better, giving them the edge over the whole lifecycle. I own about 14 DT socks that are identical.

Ive gone through several phases w socks. I now buy several dozen pairs, all identical at once. When I run low, due to wear, I typically can't buy same brand, so start over. I try to rotate through them so they all wear out roughly evenly.
-
This is precisely what I do. I'm currently at the end of the cycle, and have procrastinated purchasing the new batch because I can't buy exactly what I currently have and dread having to figure out what I should buy this time around.

I'd be curious to see what type of socks people are buying too. Cotton vs wool, mainly.
