Matching Problems of Socks

Welcome to the Sock Matching Institute, where the art of pairing footwear is taken VERY seriously.

Current Sock Matching Issues:

Why do I always seem to lose the mate to my favorite '99 Socks of Summer' pair?
Is it possible to train a pet to fetch me matching socks?
Can I get a refund from Amazon for that one lone sock I ordered as a 'single' purchase?
Why do my socks always seem to develop their own opinions on who gets to wear them first?
