Ok with 7 people in the house every day is laundry day. Monday I wash whites. Everyone has 20 pairs of socks and yes I count them every Monday. So today I could not find the 20th pair of DH's socks keeping in mind that he is wearing a pair. I looked under the bed, in his shoes, in the hampers and in living room all around. NO SOCKS anywhere. It was driving me crazy at this point. I was going to have to wash a singel pair of sock and just so you know I would or it would drive me crazy! But I had to find them. So I thought maybe just maybe I miss counted not likely but maybe. So I went back to his drawer and recounted the socks. So then I thought I would dig around the drawer and see if they were buried in the drawer. So I did and I found one. ARRR So I keep digging and oh thank goodness there it is under his pajama pants oh WHEW! Well that only took 30 min of my day! So am I or not?
I just had a dryer breakdown. I was neurotic. I had to carry wet clothes to my moms (AND his mom). The repair guy took a week to get the part. Never again, I'll replace the darn thing
Uh, yeah, that is a bit much. Seems a bit over the edge into OCD territory to me... I don't have the faintest clue how many socks we have here. All stray socks go in a bag. Eventually the matches for most of them do turn up. Occasionally (rarely) one goes permanently astray. I have 5-6 socks that have been in the stray sock bag for years now. I keep hoping the match will turn up folded inside a blanket somewhere. I "will not" throw them away.
OH NO OCD! I do like the number 20 20 cups 20 plates I don't think I will keep going. I'll call my therapist right now
No sock bag here. Every six months old socks go to st. vincent and we get new. I am kinda weird I guess. I have to have the clothes very orginized closets oginized and seperated by long sleeve, short sleeve, pants, jeans, and by color. Every ones closets.
I am still scratching my head wondering why you are looking for hubbys clothes... hes a big boy if he cant make sure all his socks are in the laundry I guess that 20th pair will get washed next week
After a while I will just throw out that single sock or use it for cleaning. I used to save the socks forever trying to match missing pairs.
Quote:Yep, sounds OCD to me too. Wouldn't it make you feel better to come over to my house and straighten out my closets???
