Warning

This post may – and most likely will – contain foul language, rants, and utter desperation.

How’s Your Monday Going?

Let me go first.

Since I didn’t have anything scheduled for the morning, I decided to make myself useful around the house and do some laundry. I stuffed the washing machine with a bunch of socks, then went on to check my emails and do some minor administrative tasks that I love so much. (Sarcasm? Yes. But it’s Monday, so that’s alright then.)

When the washing machine cheerfully beeped it was done, I returned to hang up the socks, only to realize that half of them were missing! Half of them! Not one, not two, but half. Yes –half.

Granted, everybody experiences the occasional mystery case of a missing sock, but losing half of them is just blatantly rude. Obviously, the washing machine has declared a war on me, and I will have to do the only human thing possible – retaliate.

Time to Play

Though you may have thought that this is going to be a case of rage against the (washing) machine (no pun intended) or – Biljka against the Machine – it’s anything but.

You know how they say, “If you can’t beat them, join them.” Well, I always say, “If you can’t win them, f* them.” So, instead of crying over unmatched socks, I decided to create a place where all the socks will be matched. Always. Forever.

Presenting: Match the Freaking Socks!

Here, unlike in real life, all the socks match. There are 15 pairs, and your task is to find and pair them as quickly as possible. Catch? Well, some socks are pretty similar, so you’ll need to keep your focus and concentration levels constantly sharp to avoid distractions. For the best experience, play this game on a computer.

Let the great sock match begin!

How Did You Do?

If you matched all the socks under 60 seconds, that’s an outstanding result! If you did it in 90 seconds, that’s pretty good, too. For anything over 120 seconds, consider honing those focus gears by playing again.

If you enjoyed this post and love having all your socks matched, share the game with your family and friends – everyone deserves to have their socks paired up!

Speaking of pairing up – I just realized the matching game alone is not enough. I’ll go full circle and create a whole set of games with socks. (Ha! Take that, you little sock-eating, evil washing machine!)

And remember – no matter how many socks you may have left unmatched, always keep your mind sharp and your smile brighter!
