OK! WHO KEEPS STEALING MY SOCKS!!!!!!!!??? |
|
X-FILE SHIT! I'm telling you.... I throw 10 pairs of socks in the washing machine and then the dryer. I sit down and fold the clothes and 3 are missing...And!!!! The 3 that are missing are from 3 different pairs. Where did the go? I honestly feel that this is one of the great mysteries of life and that Geraldo should do a story on it pronto!.

5. We wash and dry our socks in a mesh bag. |
|
It has 1' holes, so the socks get clean, but they can't vanish. Try it!

8. Washers & Dryers Eat Socks |
|
Which is why you often find change in the machines, and lots of lint.
They pay for what they eat, and the lint is what's left over.

you lose socks in driers, and clothes hangers seem to multiply in your closet. See, socks are simply the larval form of hangers.
Alternatively, there is a black hole in the bottom of driers, and sometimes things get moved across the universe. I have proof, because once a green towel materialized in my drier. It did show up in a load of other towels, but I never bought a green towel, no one had visited me at the time (and I don't make guests bring their own towels) we hadn't been to the local swimming pool where one of the kids might have brought home a random towel, nothing like that.
I still have the towel by the way.
And about a week ago, an earring that had been missing for several months literally appeared in mid-air as I was walking down the stairs in my house and fell on the step in front of me.
And then there's the time a man's suitcase arrived at its destination five hours before he ever checked it in at the originating airport.

14. There's no sense in fighting it |
|
The socks will always win in the end. They have escaped detection from us humans for this long, and they will continue to do so. You're going to have to buy new pairs. This is what the socks want.

16. Get the exact same type of socks |
|
then you won't care if a few end up missing because you can still wear the other ones without worrying about matching.
Or you can not care about matching!
but yeah, that happens to me alot. I even do my laundry separately from everyone else.

17. Why all the hate for your laundry? |

What did it ever do to you? All it wants to do is look nice and keep you from walking around naked. :shrug:

Thank you for the opportunity to post my 666 message on a most appropriate topic.
I have it on good authority that it is a corporate conspiracy. One half of all sock pairs are programmed to dissolve after a certain number of washings. That's why there are so many socks in our stores. They even sell them by the bag!

20. Muggle baiting pure and simple! |
|
Example
"Why would anyone bother making door keys shrink?" said George. "Just Muggle-baiting," sighed Mr. Weasley. "Sell them a key that keeps shrinking to nothing so they can never find it when they need it...Of course, it's very hard to convict anyone because no Muggle would admit their key keeps shrinking--they'll insist they just keep losing it. Bless them, they'll go to any lengths to ignore magic, even if it's staring them in the face...But the things our lot have taken to enchanting, you wouldn't believe--"

21. Geraldo should do a story on it pronto!<< |
|
Isn't he covering some breaking story somewhere?? Or did they lock him in Guantanamo for revealing secrets with a stick in the sand.... mebbe Bush senior got peeved thinking Geraldo was drawing his own line in the sand.... ya never know.....
This is the exact reason why I refuse to use dishwashers.. I am afraid I will be eating off paper plates within a year or so... don't trust them appliances not one bit. I was thinking though.... if you put a bowling ball in each one of your socks before you wash them.... they will be hard pressed to escape your purview.... just a thought.

22. I tell ya--This pisses me off |
|
I find this to be an extremely annoying fact of laundry. Where the hell do the socks go. Here's what I've done:
Husband: Wears only the same brand/same kind of white sock- If one gets lost I can still make matches without too much of a headache
His colored socks get washed in a mesh bag
Daughter: All socks go in mesh bag or they don't get washed
Me: I stopped wearing the damn things---They scare me.

24. Things that come up missing |
|
then reappear days and sometimes months later are "borrowed" by the borrowers who live in the nooks and crannies of your house. They use them for a while then return them. We call them the little people. As for my missing socks, I just put the odd ones in a drawer and check to see if a new odd one happens to match an old odd one. Sometimes they do, but for the most part, the odd sock drawer get fuller and fuller.
