My socks appear to be some kind of communal item.
A Marxist regime has been established and they have been appropriated in the ongoing revolutionary struggle against capitalism.
Personal sock property is a bourgeoisie concept; refusal to accept this makes one a counter-revolutionary and an enemy.kf the state. All men caught in possession of socks will be required to attend a re-education centres in Siberia. |

"Many.
Some with no pair to go with.
I live in hope that the missing one might appear somehow."

Check down the side of your sofa. If you don't find a spare sock lying around you shall find a pound. |

No idea but you've got your winter socks, your hiking socks, your gym socks, your summer socks, fun socks, work socks then those few you just can't see to throw out.... just in case the others aren't available |

Many pairs, too many to count....not that I would count them cus I have better things to do 
Note, all pairs too, no single socks lurking at Filth Towers, if one develops a fault then they both go in the bin, got to be firm but fair with footwear

I have absolutely no idea. I always buy the same kind and colour, so there can be an amorphous, unknowable, endless bundle of ‘sock matter’ in my drawer. I take two from the top, they’re always a matching pair. |

As another person of interest in this thread, I am reporting my sock quantity of eight.
Three of those sock liner looking things that don’t show in shoes.
Four sports ones.
One thermal knee high pair for winter.

Now that's more like it.  "
You actually prompted me to cho have a Quick Look, it’s 50 plus. Shoes, trainers is 20 plus.
Just dated a t shirt to 2003 but it is from a Springsteen tour. (The Rising) |

You'd need to be more specific before I can give an accurate answer. Are we talking short socks, long socks, ankle socks, sports socks, compression socks, aero socks, UCI legal bike socks or triathlon socks, summer socks, winter socks, hand knitted wool socks? Fully paired socks or odd socks? |

Are you an interested person; or a person of interest - as in a suspect in a criminal investigation of sock theft?"
I have been advised not to answer this question for legal reasons  |

More than I can be bothered to count, i don’t pair them up either just dump them in the draw and just quickly grab 2 similar looking ones when getting dress no matter if they don’t match |

"Too many. But they aren't in pairs, they're in "miss-matched whatever I grab first"
The sock chaos!!  how do you find your favourite pair? Everyone has a fav pair of socks, right??"
Do they? 
I just have socks. I treat all my socks the same, so not to discriminate against the ones with holes in. |

You're quite regimented in your sock routine, RTG! Do you make love in your socks? |

I'm more for Popper's negative utilitarian principle.
They're doing better already, for clothes they don't need mine too. |

Wait until you're in your mid-30s, JB, for your desire to accumulate socks of every colour and style will go stratospheric! |

30 pairs. Plain Black. All identical.
This guarantees that when 2 socks are pulled from the drawer in a still-waking-up head space, they will match.
It also means shopping for socks is easy. Plain. Black. Same brand.
I value simplicity and pragmaticism. |

Missing socks disappear in a dimensional vortex caused by washing machine spin cycles.  |

I once had those black socks with different colours on the toes and heel and would match the colour to the jumper/t-shirt I was wearing that day  |

How many pairs of socks do you ·really· have? Do not be bashful, confess!"
I have a huge box of socks. If I'm feeling constructive occasionally I'll try and match them up  |
