Certain-Footed Socks

Are there right socks and left socks? Do socks have a specific foot like shoes do, or are they simply a uni-foot sock?

When I was in high school, I would actually complain if my socks were folded incorrectly in the laundry. I don't know why it suddenly became a big deal, but it bothered me. I was convinced that they belonged on a certain foot and left socks should always be folded with right socks. I think it was because my big toes had made an imprint in the socks and gave it the appearance of a certain-footed sock.

Now my socks have big toe prints on both sides. I intentionally wear them that way so that they stay uni-footed socks. Everything changed when I had to do my own laundry. Now I don't want to have to worry about which foot is which. I just grab two that look similar and roll with it!
