How Do You Fold Your Socks?

I ran across an article by a woman who took issue with the way her partner folds his socks.

She matches up her socks and folds them together into a ball.

He flattens his out and just folds over the “cuff” of the sock.

The majority of the commenters suggested she was doing it wrong as folding them into a ball will stretch the elastic in the cuffs.

But there were also people who blew the whistle on their partners strange sock folding habits.

One said her partner simply lays them flat on top of each other in the drawer.

Another said her man just chucks them all into the drawer and deals with finding a matching pair when he’s getting dressed.

What’s your advice on the proper way to fold socks?
