and then Presenting SOCKS

[Daring_V]

…like wt… honestly???

Okay how many of you have suffered from this calamity?
You go innocently, and with great pure intentions do your laundry. After its time to retrieve your belongings, you realize various pairs of socks are missing their better halfs?

This is one mystery that shall forever haunt me. Have any of you figured out where they go?
Are they devoured by a black hole in the washer/dryer?
Do they run away through a portal to sockville?
Are they all out on a date with the missing plastic lids of the numerous plastic containers from Kitchenville?
Where on earth are they?

Re: and then Presenting SOCKS

That is one of mankinds greatest mysteries I think.

My solution to this never-ending problem?

Put all mis-matched sox BACK in the dirty laundry. They will either cosmically find their mates or - eventually - disintegrate into thready nothing-ness due to countless washings.

It is a real mystery I happened to solve it once when I found it under my washe . But after that it is still un solved.

[Mirch]

Very nice thread DV . It was mystery for me for a long time till I contacted Bureau of Missing Socks . It helped a bit then I found Sock Clips it still is not a 100 percent fool proof system though.
The darn socks go missing even from the drawer specifically dedicated to keep all socks in one place.

Re: and then Presenting SOCKS

I had this prblem THIS VERY MORNING!!!! I swear, I put all of my dark dress socks IN PAIRS in the wash and the last brown pair is mate-less!

I just dont know where the heck they went!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pyazi]

what???
I thought it only happened to me, so I'm not alone eh. we should organize a convention against this mystery. Seriously, there must be something we can do to prevent this dilemma.
I think the sock monster steals it coz he only likes to have one of each pair :(

[UZ]

You know I see this idea on series “Monk” it was fun

[Daring_V]

Mamaof3: I’m glad you share my brutal pain. Not glad at sharing the pain part, but u know. I sure do hope we can fix this glitch.

Mirch: Thanks…nothing compared to your’s though =) Maybe the one’s hanging in drawers have grown feet, make sure u peek at them to cross the possibility off ur list.

PSquared: Don’t loose your kidneys or heart to it. There’s hope…hopefully. We shall live on…!

Pyazi: How wonderful it is your idea. Look below for some joining of forces tips.

Clemy: Appreciate ur bummed face towards the scenerio. Honestly so heart wrenching it is

Some suggestions, please feel free to add any possible solutions:

Yes me fellow heartious peepz, we shall certainly combine our efforts together to rid our world of this mystery once and for all… but how to trully seek where the missing socks hang out at? Is there sock-a-cafe that we may not know off, where they maybe flooding threads in form of K337, kali billi, Lois Lane, TLK, Khumar, EcoShan, X2, Navaidishere, Brother_Quraysh, Jaymis Bhaand… who knows… such complexities of this planet have no bounds. Anyway my sincere imploring to you all is to keep a keen eye out…life is full of possibilities maybe if we look hard enough we might find them all yet again:@:

now I’m so tempted to make guppy puppets with the left over ones evil grins anyone else up for it?

@lifeless

today i was in sucha rush, that i just realized i wore my socks inside out

hey no worries when u take’um off they’ll be rightside out and u kin continue wearin 'em, until they solidify and are just utterly unbearable like maddy’s

---

I’ve recently lost a black with multi coloured dots on it, so if anyone of u see it in ur wash load, u’d know who it belonged to. Maybe we can all post what kind we’ve lost, to see which portals it comes out at. So who’s game?

Re: and then Presenting SOCKS

I bought this jaali dar bag once which is meant for this purpose.. u put all the socks and things like that in that bag zip it close and throw it in the washer. This way socks dont get lost :D
But I never used it..

Re: and then Presenting SOCKS

its a very simple answer. Once again I have to bless you with my wisdom.
the socks that go missing are running away from their mates, maybe it is an emotionally abusive relationship.

let me prove it to you, when you lose a sock, keep the other one around, it will be days, weeks months and you will not find the missing one...Now...throw away the remaining sock. within the next few days, the missing sock will appear.

They go in some sort of sock shelter or sock protection plan, where they hide out and live out their lives until they can return. some return, others wait forever because desi packrats have a special drawer of mismatched socks that are kept forever. some just get tired of the wait and pass away.
