don't
i have 2 drawers full of socks. none of them are paired up. life is too short to pair socks.

the reason i have 2 drawers full, mind, is because whenever they need to match, eg at the gym, i have to buy more on my way home.

If all your socks are the same there is never any need to pair them.
Protip.

my brother does this
all his socks are identical and black.

mine are mostly black but lots of different colours and..... it makes my head hurt just thinking about it.

I do it too
I have two drawers full of identical black socks.

2 drawers full of socks?
Do you keep the socks for your left foot in one and the right foot in the other?

What if someone sees your socks and they're odd.
Or what if your feet KNOW and can just TELL and you feel all wonky all day.
Oh god no. I couldn't. *twitches*

i'm not going to lie to you
it does panic me a little bit. but usually i am wearing them inside fuck-me boots, so only superman would be able to tell.

and frankly, there aren't many men like that around here, i can tell you. in fact, my new flatmate (from new york) announced last night that there were "zero good-looking men in england". she's an observant girl.

It doesn't matter. She's Meerkan so she's just automatically wrong anyway.

When I was in Riga
I was chatting to a Latvian girl who said that British men were pretty attractive, whereas the women were all hideous. She was comparing them to Latvian men, to be fair, so whether it was just that or it was her attempt at chatting me up or she actually thought it, I don't know.

This was a fascinating story.

I wear them inside those as well
But you just never know when you might take them off.
And besides - your feet KNOW.

And Britain's full of fitties, both male and female. They often have bad teeth though.

The bad teeth thing is an urban myth
Britain has a far lower rate of tooth decay and fillings than 'Merica.

they all just pay to have them straightened and whitened
or replaced by fake ones

because they are all so vain they think this song is about them

You're correct, when they say "bad"
they usually mean wonky and slightly yellowed. They can be easily shut up with "our dental car is mostly free, I have no fillings and all my original teeth, we just don't straighten and bleach them because looking like Donnie Osmond makes you gay".

Or something snappier.
