Mismatched people or a mismatched contest is a real criticism — something is unfair or unhappy. Mismatched objects can be completely affectionate, even fashionable: a kitchen full of mismatched cups sounds warm and lived-in, not careless, and people deliberately wear mismatched earrings. So listen for what is being described before you decide whether the speaker is complaining.
