I was hoping this was going to solve the question of the disappearing socks.

The spin cycle generates a wormhole to an alternate universe were all the missing socks go.

It’s aliens. Ask yourself when was the last time you saw an alien with matching socks?

I was wondering if it would solve the question of how socks I have never seen before get into the laundry.

I notice that during washing or drying clothes the socks get esconced inside the folds of other clothes or towels...when drying the statis electricity holds the socks in position. A place to find socks is the inside of the arms of shirts...jackets....sweatshirts..since most people dont check the insides jacket arms...they womt find those socks for a long time..just my theory.

Last year I let a young neighbor borrow my washer and dryer to wash her young son’s clothes. When I did my laundry the washer would not expel the water. I set it aside and installed a new Samsung HE top loading washer. When I got some help from my yard man, I took the old washer out and poured the water out. An examination of it revealed a child’s sock locking up the water discharge pump. I set the Samsung in the back of the laundry room and put the old washer back. It is still working and I hope it last another 23 years.

I ordered some mesh bags https://www.amazon.com/OEXEO-Laundry-Mesh-Bags-6PCS/dp/B06XB63727/ref=lp_15962593011_1_6?srs=15962593011&ie=UTF8&qid=1522900718&sr=8-6 and my ask my neighbor to place all small items in one or more to wash.

My thoughts too. Why is it always the left one? ;-)

“I was hoping this was going to solve the question of the disappearing socks.”

According to Mark Hall, Gentleman Creation and Alien Liaison Officer at Socked.co.uk, there is a direct correlation between increased UFO activity and missing socks.

“It can only be aliens, helping themselves to a decent wardrobe one sock at a time,” said Hall.

When my daughter was about 3, she was helping me fold clothes. I was short a sock. I said something about the washer eating socks. She said, “How do you know it was the washer? Unless you count the socks before you put them in the dryer, you could be blaming the washer for something the dryer is doing.” I knew then I was in trouble. Flawless logic from a 3 year old.
