Theories on what happens to socks...

I've lived on my own for 7 years now... so nobody is stealing them. Where the hell do they go?

I scour the house for something akin to a pair, and all I find is oddities.

Whats happening folks.... where are they?

They hide with the pens and Tupperware box lids.

I stopped wearing matching pairs about 30 years ago. I never worry or consider this.

It’s a blessed life

It’s the Borrowers, one sock would make clothes for all, another is good for bedding, curtains and then finally one more for making bags.

A goblin comes to my house every night. It steals a random sock, takes the car keys off the hook and stuffs them down the back of the sofa, and leaves the milk on the side when I KNOW I have put it back in the fridge.

It's the damn couples we have round, at the end of shenanigans it's a frantic grab for undies with the expected outcome

I need such a life.

I have multipacks of black socks and it's taken me years to not wash the same pairs in those little bags, so they are being matched

My theory about where socks go why we end up with odd ones is that the washing machine eats them.

You're a man living on his own.... Who does your washing?!

A top tip is to buy a load of identical socks then they don't need pairing. Just buy more when you only have 1 left.

I too mostly buy black socks as my ocd won’t allow me to wear odd socks. As for where they go missing. Can’t help you with that haha.

I link mine together after washing so they are not lost. The problem I have is the heels always shred no matter how careful I am putting them on!

Get a foot grater! And some moisturiser. Nice smooth feet.

Well that’s very organised! But did you chuck the dried up ones away or throw them back in the box just so you can play that little game again next time?

They're stuck inside the legs of your nylon trousers, and arms of your winter cardis.

I found a couple at the bottom of my duvet cover once.

I'd popped a load of socks in with my bedding so I had an empty washing basket.

Top tip is to buy loads of different bright multi coloured (or polychromatic if you will

) socks and mix them all together. Every day pick two random socks, with the rule that they must not match.

Exception to the rule: You are allowed to wear a matching pair of Christmas themed socks, but only if it is nowhere near Christmas.

Same here, rarely if ever do I wear matching socks (underwear however always needs to match

God only knows. I have a large carrier bag full of odd socks. It's so bizarre how socks can just disappear.
