im sure all of us have experienced socks slowly dissapearing on us throughout time.
like whenever we go to wash and dry them the less we have in our possesion.
if we bought thirty pair on the month of janurary lets say,..and due may we can only come up with a total of twenty one pairs,.. this is a baffiling thing for me because i know its a fact ,..what in the world? and how does dissapearing socks dissapear ? where do you think happens to these little cotton footwear we call socks?


and yes we know they get lost but where ? why? any concepts or ideas ?
im curious.

Introducing the Snorfle. The Snorfle is a small, very quick animal with strong jaws capable of grinding even the most stubborn sock to dust. Snorfles live in small cavities in washing machines, in nests that are easily mistaken for mere dust piled up over time. Snorfles eat all types of fabrics, but show a very strong preference for socks. It is believed that the special scents of shoe leather and foot sweat are more pleasing to a Snorfle than they are to humans, but no one knows this for sure since so far no one's managed to capture a live Snorfle. And since they are very hard to spot, quick and shy as they are, most people blame the lost socks on ordinary bad luck or Murphy's Law.

Wait till I'm sober to translate it to you, but the shortest and easiest solutions are:
bisexualism - buy all in the same color, doesn't matter left or right, if there are any differences in wear or washing-out, try...
fascism - one color, different lots, should be at least two of the same kind every wash

'Tis the sock gnomes!!!

Kratos that is HILLARIOUS
Abecrombie


oh ! i know some try to escape from the house and run away ,..
like when you see a sock laying in the middle of the street,. just all beat to hell al by it holy toesome?

or there hanging out with some shoe all by itself homeless or lost out on the streets .

In the future, when time travel is a fairly common experience, it becomes a fad for people to go and bring back momentos from their ancestors. In the future, the common saying is "who's going to miss a sock?"

They take my underwear too I'll get them.....one day

A friend of mine has decided the fact that he seems to lose a lot of socks but also has far more coat-hangers than he should are not un-connected.

He has concluded that socks and coat-hangers are, in fact, one and the same creature.

The sock is the larval form. At some stage it will creep into a dark wardrobe and undergo metamorphosis, energing as a fully fledged coat-hanger.

I think that washine machines are living things put on the planet by aliens to watch human behaver and reprt back. they need to feed and the food of choice is our socks!!! lmao

_Kratos_, that thing scared me to death, am I going to die??

LOL!

I know where all mine are. They have been digested thru the intestines of a certain black labrador retriever that lives in my house. Along with numerous empty toilet paper rolls.

To the best if my limited knowledge, I believe that there is a big black hole in he back of everyones clothes dryer. Just sucking those loose socks in, one at a time.


My 2 cents.


On a related note, my ex-girlfriends brother once had a ferret. This little critter used to like to steal socks. Not loose ones, though. They had to be balled up in a pair. One day I found like seven pair under the bed. I did'nt know at that time how the heck they got there, until one day, I witnessed the little theif in action.

Beware of domestic rodents!

Maybe this baby universe(ourselves) is trying to teach us about matter and antimatter…
Actually, take a look underneath the drums of the washer, dryer and the Operator. This myth is solved.

thanks sofia , now i can blame something for not having enough socks to wear to school. but im pretty sure my mom ain't gona buy it. i will try it anyways

I've noticed that too! That is the reason I rairly change my socks! No one notices.......

I think I agree with the gnome theory, however there is a possibility of evil flying monkeys.

I have a cat that does the same thing, although she only seems to like dirty socks.

Sock Gnomes!!!

ofcourse, if there are underpant knomes there must be sock knomes, i wonder if they are in competition with each other or if they are a monopoly of the laundary basket...

well under my parent's bed there are like 13 pairs of socks, because my ferrets steal them and put them under the bed

i always loose socks its like they plan for landary day and escape
