That thing where you put on a fresh pair of socks and one has a hole so you think well I went to all that trouble to pull it on, this will be your last day little buddy, I’ll just throw it away after I wear it today.
Last chance underwear happen now and again as well but I guess it depends on where the hole is.
I buy 10-12 pairs of the same sock. They all go in the same drawer, unmatched. Socks do not have a left/right, so if one gets a hole or what not, it becomes a rag and I don't even notice its gone.
I do about the same, but I have 2 huge differently sized feet (birth defect) 1 foot is 4 eu sizes smaller then the other. I usually buy 2 pairs size 39-42 and 2 43-46, so I have 4 pairs of 1 small and 1 large sock.
Alas, the large socks are usually the ones that develop holes 1st.
That'll outlive the small ones as well. I usually just buy the same amount of large and small socks and usually at least 2 pair of each, so I end p up with 4+ of the same sets. They'll dwindle down to 1 pair in the end. One ship is even so nice to put the size in the socks, 39-42 in yellow and 43-46 in blue. (there is even a cheap shop that does the same, but those sock don't match, 39-42 with horizondal lines and 43-46 with vertical lines... why would those need sizes in them ;) )
I bought a pack of 7 recently after reading comments on Lemmy about wearing socks more than one day is horrible. I'm glad I didn't tell anyone I changed my weekly. :/
