Socks...

Almost everybody knows about the hassle of doing laundry. Maybe not putting it in the machine itself, not even the hanging the stuff to dry, no: the folding afterwards is the worst part.
But ok, you start doing it and then the smallest pieces remain, mostly socks.
Socks are the most difficult thing to pair. Shoes - if you would wash them - are usually quite distinct and trousers come mainly in one piece. But socks, no.
Often it is hard to tell if one black sock should be combined with thát one or thát one. But, the oddest thing about socks is that you always seem to end up with a few leftovers of which the counterparts are never to be found again. But if you throw them away, you can be sure to end up with other single socks.

The solution is: bind them together, put them in the bottom drawer and maybe after a few years, some of the single socks will end up as a pair again! The rest: throw them away!
