Hahaa great thread!!
Cycling/sports socks kept in a huge bag near all my cycling gear in thier own wardrobe (I thank you)
Work/smart socks in thier own drawer but not in pairs, gently rolled together mind.
Undies have thier own sperate section of my wardrobe, all white on one shelf, black another, coloured the next and so on.
I'm neat enough to find stuff and yet not that bothered if stuff just gets washed and chucked in..
Ikea organisers in my drawers. 1 for White sports socks, 1 for dark sports socks & dark every day socks, 1 for cycling socks (subdivided again for light & dark), then bulky ones for walking/skiing in another draw.
Grundies piled up in descending order of comfiness adjacent to socks.
All deleted.
Realised I sound like hideous judgemental sock gestapo 
I have 2 sock drawers.
Yes, that's two. One for clean, and one for dirty.
The explanation is even more weird, so I shan't share....

Hopefully that's a 'go on, go on, go on' video, I've broked my headphones.
I don't even pair mine up, just wear them odd. This started off as a sensible time saving habit but I'm ashamed to say that now, on the odd occasion that two matching socks come out together in the sock tombola, I put one back and re-draw. Odd socks make me happy even if they probably are the equivalent of cartoon character ties
oh yes..
Only wear cycling socks.
got one of those ikea hanging organizers.
summer socks,medium socks,medium heavy socks.longer socks,winter socks.
all organized and lovely,in descreasing height/weight order.
but you should see the tshirts and shirts..
women freak out.or want to marry me.
rest of the house is a mess though.
They're in a drawer - I shut it - why would I need to keep it tidy? 
Paired but scattered in with underpants, gloves and belts. It's a big drawer. Previously I had a set of small drawers and socks got their own space.
On a related note, I realised that I now don't own a single pair of non-biking socks. I think that comes from working in a bike shop, and buying triple-packs of cycling socks on the days I forgot a dry pair to wear.
Ditto T-Shirts. All my T-shirts are biking related, free with mag subscriptions or races, added to CRC orders to get free shipping or bought at work because I've forgotten mine . Bar one, which was made by a biking friend to raise money to go travelling by bike. So it's sort of biking.
All paired but totally random.
my white socks all look the same, by black socks all look the same... no need to pair them, but mrsconsequence does anyway

Just to bring you upto date with this mornings dressing, I picked up a pair of black and red toed socks that were paired up, my hand went in the drawer, I chose a pair, I put on pair.
I thank you
bikebuoy - no 'sock stress' for you today then 
I'm not wearing socks today, but the couple of secs it takes to pair some socks of a normal morning thankfully causes me little worry.
tights, they were in my Floordrobe, no stress
emsz - when you get a bit older, with a fair wind behind you, you may also be able to afford the luxury of a spare room to perfrom the Floordrobe function for you...
Dirty stuff on the floor, clean stuff on the drier or the bed. It's a beautifully simple system and keeps my sock draw empty for keeping emptiness in.
paired if I can be arsed, if not chucked in the drawer
I too prefer wearing odd socks, although only when the main colour is a match, and the toes/heel/stripe etc differs
glad I'm not the only one
you're all doin it rong.
I have 6 pairs of socks in the drawer.
they are identical (bridgedale mid weights).
wear the same socks for work, casual, hiking, riding
no need to organise, just grab two from the drawer with your eyes closed, knowing they're a matching pair
lazy OCD
Hahaha, nope no stress today.
Ahh the drier/hanger erm' yes that does get used to hang clean clothes on too, you know worn once stuff. In fact it's boasting last nights smelly bibs/baggies/thermal L/S and snot covered gloves.. the wet socks are drying before they go in the wash.
Ta dah..
I feel smug.
See, stoner, blokes have it easy, I just imagined just having one sort of socks, and had to have a sit down!!
Yeti, given the amount of shit I seems to have accumulated, I think I'd be in the spare room and the floordrobe would be the main bedroom.
gah, clothes don't go on the floor!
fwiw - one drawer with tights and socks - all paired, neat and tidy. one drawer with underwear, folded and sorted into panties, bras, nighties etc.
but then again, I also iron my bedding so I do realise I'm a bit of a freak 
Thank god the voice of reason at last. I was getting seriously worried there until Stoner pipped in.
Buy ankle length, black, cotton socks. Don't buy any others. Then use those socks for everything. No need to roll 'em up, no need to match 'em. Just grab two socks no matter what you're doing. Anything else is bordering on being a girl.
but...
but...
but you sleep in the bedding? thats like ironing clothes when you're jsut going to wear em anyway!
MADNESS!
(and i'm qualified to identify madness)
I like the John Lewis "coloured toe/heal/black" socks, they've a multicoloured variety, and we all know what variety is don't we campers..
code for something sinister? 
*Is impressed with miowing kat's ironing/organising skills*
Ironed bedsheets ONCE, never again.
LOLing at Phil.
organised fun?
I caught my wife ironing mine and my son's underpants the other day. I've ordered her not to do that any more.
Like that'll make a difference.
Im so glad there is someone else who irons bedding...ironed white bedding you cant beat it! When I say white there are oil marks at the bottom of the duvet cover since my bike sits at the end of the bed of course!
Use the dividers from wine boxes,cut 'em to right depth with a serrated edge knife.Take care (don't come running to me,if you hack off a leg!).Ask nicely at Off-Licence or local supermarket/store you can usually get boxes gratis.Sorry Lakeland,(mum scottish+ dad yorkshire = like a bargain!!).Washing socks inside-out keeps the looped pile on techie socks fluffy!.
Umm, since when were "Disney" socks cool?
