Morning everyone,

Does anyone else end up with a huge pile of random odd socks, from their washing or is it just me?!

What happens to their partners? ... it drives me crazy! Lol

Drives me nuts where they all go to. I swear this morning I reunited a pair after about six months of separation. Beautiful moment it was.

The missing socks get eaten by your washing machine - there are loads of videos on yootoob showing the way that the rubber lining on washing machines sucks them in...

Yes.

I just put the odd socks together the way I put the pairs together.

Each person in my house has their very own socktapus.

If a matching is found, their socktapus gets smaller. If another random sock turns up their socktapus gets bigger.

No prizes for guessing that the teenager in the house has the biggest socktapus

Ahh but then you end up with some socks blacker than others as some get washed more! So, this also didn't work for me

My lady always wears odd socks as she gave up pairing them a long time ago. They have now made their way into my washing chain which drives my OCD to new levels.

She finds it liberating.

I fixed this problem by buying a shitload of identical socks from TK Maxx. The only problem now is that they are identifiable left and rights due to the Pringle logo on the outside of the leg. The phenomenon of ending up with odd socks has been replaced by a whole new phenomenon; no matter how carefully I sort them into left/right pairs, they seem to rearrange themselves in the drawer into five pairs of lefts and five pairs of rights.

My teenager does this too. It makes my teeth itch. He also raids my sock drawer and takes mine, I have started buying ridiculous socks with unicorns/giraffes/flowers on to prevent this. It’s working so far

This is a great idea!! Although, I think my issue is tennage kids not putting both socks into the wash in the first place and therefore they are unlikely to put them in a bag either

Or you could as I have tried, be merciful and put the single ones back in the machine in order that they might to be fortuitous enough to embark upon the same wondrous, cross dimensional journey and be reunited with their other half
