Frequently Asked Questions for the Sock-Hysteria Support Team
Q: What is Sock-Hysteria?
Sock-Hysteria is a condition characterized by an overwhelming urge to organize and categorize socks. Symptoms may include: an intense desire to pair socks, a fear of solo socks, and an irrational hatred for socks that don't fit in the washing machine's designated sock drawer.
Q: What are the symptoms of Sock-Hysteria?
A: See above, but also include: frequent arguments with family members over who ate the last matching sock, an excessive use of sock clips and rubber bands, and a general feeling of unease when encountering unmatched socks in public.
Q: How do I know if I have Sock-Hysteria?
A: If you find yourself: counting and pairing socks in your sleep, having a sock drawer that's more organized than the local library, or feeling an existential dread when confronted with a lone, mismatched sock, you may have Sock-Hysteria.
