Sharing socks. My family used to have a sock basket next to our shoes. You didn’t own your own socks, you just grab a pair when you need them.
I mentioned “the sock basket” offhand to a friend in elementary school and she thought it was crazy. That’s when I learned that not every family has a community sock basket. Looking it up though, I find a couple reddit threads from people with the same experience (and people replying that it’s weird) 🤷♀️
This is unintentionally how we do it. We split up the socks after cleaning them but like a day later mom is wearing the oldest ones socks and the oldest one is wearing dads socks, and the little one has one sock from the older brother and another he found under the couch buried in dog hair.
My daughters share school socks, because they are all the same colour and shape.
So I guess this concept isn’t too unreasonable to do it on a whole family level.

Same same.
We used to do it as well at least for me and my brothers. We all got the same white tube socks so they went in the same basket by our laundry
Not even sure how that would work with the different sizes we had in my family

wait that’s not normal?
I think that depends on common shoe sizes. With the biggest feet there is no way I could put on anyone else’s socks.
