I always ask for socks as presents.
Gacked from handyhunter and penknife.
Make a list of your favorite pairings and explain who would pick up the socks and why.
Scott/Jean: They both pick up their own socks-- Scott because he's OCD, Jean because she's naturally neat-- but it's Scott who rolls them up and organizes them in the drawer according to sock type (eg. gym socks, trouser socks, Jena's socks, his socks). Jean occasionally messes with his head by switching a couple of the sock-balls around and giggling when he finds them. Scott knows she does this but he can't help it, he has to put them back in order. Unorganized closets mess with his zen.
Remy/Rogue (Or Marie or Anna or Anna Marie, whatever): Remy picks up socks. Remy rolls the socks. Remy organizes the socks according to colour, fabric and length. Rogue usually folds the gartered parts together or sometimes knots the pairs. This drives Remy CRAZY. He'll start arguments about sock drawers to which Rogue counters that part of the fun of dressing up is rooting through the mess. They have separate sock drawers (and closets) for the sake of peace.
This is one of the topics Remy and Scott talk about when they have their weekly billiards-and-beer nights.
And I know I don't write about them but I really like how Whedon wrote their story out so
Scott/Emma: Scott. Emma doesn't do laundry; she drops them off at a service which returns them in boxes folded and misted with scent.
Lois/Clark: Believe it or not, Lois picks up the socks 90% of the time. This makes her Very Angry because Clark's the one with superspeed and thus more time (relatively). However, because Clark always thinks he has the time to zip around to grab socks, he never does; it just pushed further and further back. This wouldn't be so bad if he didn't do this with almost every unimportant chore (ie. leaving mugs on the nightstand, toothpaste splatters on the mirror). Finally, Lois can't stand it any more and she grabs them all, muttering louder and louder with each sock (and mug and toothpaste splatter) until Clark comes home and she Lets. It. Out. There's make-up sex afterward, of course.
Lois/Richard: They've actually got a pretty good system where each person is responsible for their own socks. However, Richard has issues with the hamper. He'll pile his socks next to the hamper because, according to him, if he mixes socks with other laundry, the socks disappear. Lois insists this is all in his head; more likely, the socks disappear because he's not putting them in the hamper. The argument will go around in circles for days and finally Richard will buy another pack of socks. Lois, smugly, only needs to buy new socks when her old ones have holes.
Lois/Clark/Richard: Richard and Lois plot ways to make Clark pay for leaving his socks all over the house. There are even calls to Martha after which Clark is good for a whole month. Then the socks fly willy-nilly once more. Once, Lois got so angry, she shredded Clark's socks except she got overzealous and shredded some of Ricard's, too. Richard then got angry at Clark for making Lois angry. Clark picked up his socks for two and a half months after that.
Lois/Clark/Ollie: Ollie hires someone to pick up everyone's socks. Clark feels uncomfortable with this at first but Lois points out that if the maid didn't do it, no one would. Clark always leaves large tips for the sock maid.
And just because Lois/Clark are MADE for threesomes:
Lois/Clark/Bruce: Alfred.
Kon/Cass: Cass likes her place ordered. Kon's socks lying all around the place disrupts that order. Cass held Kon down and stuffed his dirty socks in his mouth until he promised to always put them away in the hamper and fold them after laundry day. They had few problems after that. Kon was actually a little turned on by that so sometimes he forgets on purpose.
Kon/Tim: Kind of like Cass only with ropes and no boobies.
