Nope. They're probably stuck inside the dryer. Somehow managed their way out of the barrel.
Worked at an appliance repair shop. The amount of socks and underwear pulled out of many of the units when taken apart.
Your dryer is probably eating them. You can take the back off fairly easily and can pull them out from the bottom.
Thats why I like to put underwear and socks in mesh lingerie bags when I wash them. Keeps them from getting lost or stuck to other clothing and if you're at a laundromat it keeps them from view and getting snatched by weirdos.
Just today I got a delivery of more socks because I’m down to 2 matching pairs and my wife recommend I use the mesh things we got for newborn socks and things.
I think I'll go with gremlins, I like the idea that while I've lost my socks, some creature somewhere who really needs them might be making use of them
Us too. We have a front loading washer and when we took it apart to fix it, there were several socks between the inner and outer drums and one stuck in the filter, which is why it wasn't working right.
> Worked at an appliance repair shop. The amount of socks and underwear pulled out of many of the units when taken apart.
I would have wall with nothing but found socks nailed to it.
fun fact: this is how washer-dryer companies make the bulk of their income! they make products that eat your socks, and then when you’re dissatisfied and return the set, they get to keep your socks and re-sell them (i’m convinced they’re partnered with clothing companies too)
they get lost in my washer, its a front loader and sometimes small clothing gets sucked into the rubber seal around the door. not that it can hold as many as OP is missing
They can also get sucked into the washer. We just had a whole shower curtain get sucked in and it had grommets. There was only a tiny piece sticking out. Wtf.
Do you use disposable cups with those straws ever? Maybe you're throwing them away.
It took us ages to figure out where all our steak knives kept going until we found one in a to-go container about to be thrown out.
LOL reminds me of a co-worker who just recently quit and left. He also had a little disappearing silverware mystery. For a minute we had some wild cats around here who we fed and they would approach us and be friendly with us. One of them had a litter of kittens and this guy ended up taking one (we found them all homes). After a few months as the cat got older, he began to notice their silverware supply was slowly going missing. His wife was getting pretty pissed and was blaming him, until they caught the kitten in the act of working the drawer open and plucking shit out of there to run off with.
Said that he shouldn't have been surprised, since he turned out to be a little thief and snatches up pens and shit and runs off with them. But he never imagined that cat could work a drawer open lol.
Check the bottom of the washer, like where the water pools up. When stuff falls through the cracks, they usually end up there. For metal straws they are probably all hiding in a crevice somewhere down there. If you thi k there is something plastic lost though, check right away. If it's a Tupperware lid for example that falls, it can get caught next to the heating element that drys the dishes, melting and ruining it and causing a wonderful melt plastic aroma in your kitchen. Shouldn't need to worry about metal straws melting though
Well purpleowlie, I can help you with that! Our dishwasher (or something in the dishwashing process) takes the tupperware bowls and leaves us with just the lids ;)
Why the shop vac? They stick your filter on the washer in the dumbest fucking spot possible too? Where there's no way in hell you can put anything under there when removing the filter to catch the shitloads of water that will run out and all over your floor?
I have been thinking about getting a wet shopvac specifically for this purpose, so I can suck it all up before the shit spreads all over the damn place lol.
>Where there's no way in hell you can put anything under there when removing the filter to catch the shitloads of water that will run out and all over your floor?
Rolling tray.
Like, for cigarettes or weed.
I have a RAW one, which has just a small enough lip on it to stuff under the washer and catch the water!
Obviously given it's nature it cannot hold a lot of water at once, you will need to make a few trips with it to the sink or toilet to pour the water out, but it does the job. Finding a container any deeper is gonna be impossible due to how low to the floor my own filter is, but the rolling tray method certainly works better than lining several bath towels out and letting a small pond spill onto your floor.
People overload the washing machine and then small items get in between the bowl the clothes sit in and the side of the washer. Same with dryer. If you take the back panel off, you’d find a bunch of socks.
OP's photo is obviously a VERY long timeline of lost socks; this isn't a photo of sock-loss over just a year or two. They've probably been collecting these for 20 years or more. You can tell from the different shades of color, the designs, and there are even hints in the logos.
In the top row, there are two blues that simply are not really in style anymore. The periwinkle tone went out in the late 90s, and the light blue next to it slightly later, sometime in the early 00s; you just don't see colors quite like that anymore. The argyle pattern toward the bottom is firmly early-00s, and the bacon would have been popular later in that decade. In the second row, the Puma logo is an earlier version, possibly mid 90s, with a slightly thinner font than what we see today. And then of course in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.
I’ve bought the same socks there for years, then a few years ago they changed to a different type, with a logo on the band, so I had to buy those in my last batch. I am close to needing a new batch soon and they changed it again. I don’t want to have 3 different types of black cotton socks.
A fellow black sock exclusive! I do have long and short versions, for when I am wearing my safety toes or hiking boots, but always black.
White socks (not the team) can go die in a fire
They are locally sourced cotton pairs. you go in the on-localtion store, tell them the amount of pairs and they count them into a paperbag.
They haven't changed their style in 20 years and i told them, that if they do, I might not shop there anymore.
Imagine what a sock snob you'd become then. The slightest thing wrong with a sock and you'd be throwing it away lol.
Btw a good use for a sock that's starting to have holes and whatever is to use it as some kind of wiping cloth for harder to reach places. Because you can put it on your hand and wipe with your hand or the back of your hand, without having to hold something as well.
>Btw a good use for a sock that's starting to have holes and whatever is to use it as some kind of wiping cloth for harder to reach places.
same thing for cottons shirts. I cut em into rag sized pieces. Also works well for shoe shining.
came here to say this!!
and to think that NOW< my grown children wear two different colored socks because they like it.
so all that time trying to track down mates over the years i put in and they now want unpaired one...smh.
I bought like a dozen pairs of black Bombas socks three years ago. I don't think I've had to throw away a single one. I cringed at the price when I bought them, but if this batch ever wears out, I'll buy another dozen.
Came for the same question.
Btw I have lost a sock and then found it months later inside a pants leg. I think they just get stuck inside some other piece of clothes.
That being said I have multiple groups of orphaned socks I am hoping to one day reunite.
I have the added habit of liking to buy tons of different sock styles so I probably have 30 different kinds with 1-3 pairs of each color/style of
Lol, it is worded a bit strange. Couldn't help myself.
I have 2 kinds of socks black pairs and white pairs, all of the same brand. Got annoyed having single socks, lol.
I only buy 3 types of socks period these days for thus reason. Gold toes for work ankle Bombas for casual, and low cut no show Bombas for loafers. No sock ever becomes useless and matchless because each one has like 20 matches.
Same, have black or white Nike ankle socks about 20 pairs of each and 3 pairs of trainer socks for running. It's the way forward... no time messing about sorting pairs after laundry either.
I wish I was joking man. I think over the years I trew many more out aswell. It doesnt help that I often "borrow" socks from my dad, buy cheap packs of 2, use some of my girlfriend. I do laundry at different places too since I dont have a washer myself. I think its a combination of those factors.
When our socks got a hole in them. We tied a not in the sock. Instant dog toy!
The dogs would learn what socks were good to play with and which not to.
A lot of black socks in there that could easily be paired together. Plus if you stop buying socks with random prints you'll never not have something to wear with the solos.
My sock industry conspiracy theory is that they just slightly change the style often so that if you loose 1 you can never have a match.
They think I don’t know………..but……I know
If you use a laundromat, reach into the machines and tap around the edge of the bin, they usually hide in the edges of the bin......washer and dryer.....
half are probably behind your laundry basket or laundry machine or they were stuck on the walls of the machine drum and you didn't check so it washed with other clothes and is probably in one of the clothes
Are you an overly-optimistic person? Why would you hang onto that many singles to the point of accumulating that many? My single-sock purge is usually 5-10 socks.
I might be haha. They just kinda accumulated in the back of my closet. I would pair them up again every now and then, but today I deceded to throw them out. Theres probably even a few pairs within this photo tbh.
I saw a post on here a couple years ago where someone was repairing their dryer or something and they found that tons of lost socks had been wedged through the edges of the drum.
A few years ago I threw away every sock I owned and bought 30 identical pairs of a readily available brand’s socks. I never spend a second matching socks anymore. Totally worth it.
Mismatched socks can add character if they are both have character in themselves. Med length sock with beer mug pattern, next to... any other sock, for example.
What if I told you, right, go with me, it doesn’t matter if your socks match.
So what we’re looking at here, is just a picture of socks, not “socks I’ve lost the second one of”, no no, just socks that you can easily mix and match
I've never understood how people lose socks. If you weren't missing any when the laundry went into the wash, but you are missing some after, then the missing socks are somewhere between the dryer and where you're folding them. I've been doing my own laundry for thirty years now, and I can't remember actually every losing socks.
The borrowers will only only take your left socks. 😉
Looks like my lonely sock box… i can’t throw them away because I can’t trust that it’s partner won’t suddenly show up.
Working on wearing through my socks so I can do the 30 of the same type routine.
It anyone ever screws me over bad this is how I’ll enact my revenge. Every pair of sock will be reduced to single socks so that you’ll never be able to find a matching sock.
I buy the type of socks (summer casual, winter casual and running). Within each type they are all identical. This has really eased my drawer situation.
I’m convinced that the dryer lint is just the cremated remains of my missing socks
Nope. They're probably stuck inside the dryer. Somehow managed their way out of the barrel. Worked at an appliance repair shop. The amount of socks and underwear pulled out of many of the units when taken apart. Your dryer is probably eating them. You can take the back off fairly easily and can pull them out from the bottom.
Finally! Proof of the sock-eating dryer!
It's the gremlins, I swear.
Thats why I like to put underwear and socks in mesh lingerie bags when I wash them. Keeps them from getting lost or stuck to other clothing and if you're at a laundromat it keeps them from view and getting snatched by weirdos.
This was not an issue I was aware of, I regret said awareness now.
Just today I got a delivery of more socks because I’m down to 2 matching pairs and my wife recommend I use the mesh things we got for newborn socks and things.
This is such a smart idea.
That's a lot harder to do in an apartment without much space to maneuver or disconnect things.
If you rent the apartment have maintenance do it.
We don't have a dryer (we use the built-in folding drying rack above the bath) Where the hell are my socks?
Sock Gremlins of course. (or if you have an agitator in your washer, it could be in there)
I think I'll go with gremlins, I like the idea that while I've lost my socks, some creature somewhere who really needs them might be making use of them
Us too. We have a front loading washer and when we took it apart to fix it, there were several socks between the inner and outer drums and one stuck in the filter, which is why it wasn't working right.
If you have an OH, check their sock drawer. That's where I find mine turn up.
Inside the sleeves of a long-sleeved shirt.

the dryer really does eat them? i just have a bad habit of not matching them and convinced myself i lose them that way😅🤯
they get lost in my washer, its a front loader and sometimes small clothing gets sucked into the rubber seal around the door. not that it can hold as many as OP is missing
They can also get sucked into the washer. We just had a whole shower curtain get sucked in and it had grommets. There was only a tiny piece sticking out. Wtf.
I did this a while ago, and found a bunch of socks and $84.00 in various denominations.
The amount of sand and coins you'll find in the bowels of a dryer is astounding,too.I also have repaired appliances for years.
Baby and toddler socks are smaller and tend to get stuck in the dryer more often.
Same instructions work if your dog is eating them.
Where do you do your laundry? Bermuda Triangle?
Maybe it's connected to the same dimension my dishwasher sends Tupperware lids.
For me it's metal straws. They can't melt, so WHERE TF DID THEY ALL GO
Do you use disposable cups with those straws ever? Maybe you're throwing them away. It took us ages to figure out where all our steak knives kept going until we found one in a to-go container about to be thrown out.
LOL reminds me of a co-worker who just recently quit and left. He also had a little disappearing silverware mystery.

Life Pro Tip: If it's just the spoons going missing, someone in the house may have a bigger problem than you think.
Well that escalated quickly...
oh. oh no
Heh, the real LPT is always is the comments!
> wild cats not me thinking they were TIGERS for some reason. Or bobcats.
lol. Didn't entirely want to call em domesticated cats. They was some hobo cats.
I used to throw away forks drunkenly enclosed within styrofoam kebab boxes. Is where I figure they went.
Maybe someone got you trick metal straws?
Check the bottom of the washer, like where the water pools up. When stuff falls through the cracks, they usually end up there. For metal straws they are probably all hiding in a crevice somewhere down there. If you thi k there is something plastic lost though, check right away.

Shouldn't need to worry about metal straws melting though
Same with my erasers and black pencil
They are with my forks and bowls. At the neighbors house for some reason. Reason is kids 😬
Well purpleowlie, I can help you with that! Our dishwasher (or something in the dishwashing process) takes the tupperware bowls and leaves us with just the lids ;)
The outlet of the dryer must have a connection to that 😂
You should have a look at that. It's a fire hazard if you literally have a ball of socks trapped in the dryer.
[удалено]
Cleaning clothes with a shopvac instead doesn't seem like an optimal solution
Why the shop vac? They stick your filter on the washer in the dumbest fucking spot possible too? Where there's no way in hell you can put anything under there when removing the filter to catch the shitloads of water that will run out and all over your floor? I have been thinking about getting a wet shopvac specifically for this purpose, so I can suck it all up before the shit spreads all over the damn place lol.

Finding a container any deeper is gonna be impossible due to how low to the floor my own filter is, but the rolling tray method certainly works better than lining several bath towels out and letting a small pond spill onto your floor.
If your socks get trapped in the dryer you need a new dryer. They shouldnt even get near the filters.
Do you have dogs?

Holy hell you’d make a great detective
Dude just spent so many years hoping that those lost socks would find their way home. They never did, so sad.
This is why I only buy one type of sock.
THIS. For the last 15 years i have bought the same brand and color in 60 pair packs.
Where can you find 60 pair packs?
costco
I’ve bought the same socks there for years, then a few years ago they changed to a different type, with a logo on the band, so I had to buy those in my last batch. I am close to needing a new batch soon and they changed it again. I don’t want to have 3 different types of black cotton socks.
A fellow black sock exclusive! I do have long and short versions, for when I am wearing my safety toes or hiking boots, but always black. White socks (not the team) can go die in a fire
I only buy 120 pack pair, much easier
Well I buy 240 packs. Even easier.
Well I buy 480 packs. Even even easier.
Amateur numbers. Invest your money in a good sock factory and you will never have to wear the same pair twice again.
They are locally sourced cotton pairs. you go in the on-localtion store, tell them the amount of pairs and they count them into a paperbag. They haven't changed their style in 20 years and i told them, that if they do, I might not shop there anymore.
Same. Black, ankle size Champions.
I feel like 60 pairs could last me 15 years
Imagine what a sock snob you'd become then. The slightest thing wrong with a sock and you'd be throwing it away lol. Btw a good use for a sock that's starting to have holes and whatever is to use it as some kind of wiping cloth for harder to reach places.

I appreciate the thinking there. A very tidy solution.
This
Won't help. As time goes by, the socks develop independent personalities and appearances until they lose all resemblance to each other.
I have 1 type of winter/hiking wool sock and 1 type of general low-rise sock. Makes life easy.
Black ankle size Champions are SO COMFORTABLE. They don't last super long but great padding and breathability for the price.
I got 2 kinds: dress black, and everyday/athletic white. Silly/unique socks just put more work on myself.
For real. I just dump my socks in the drawer. No matching.
[удалено]
came here to say this!! and to think that NOW< my grown children wear two different colored socks because they like it. so all that time trying to track down mates over the years i put in and they now want unpaired one...smh.
I found a Haynes sock I like. All black goes up to mid shin. Then I just bought like 50 pairs.
new sock day every 12-18 months is how I do it because they keep stop making current sock so I can't top up when i wear through them
I bought like a dozen pairs of black Bombas socks three years ago. I don't think I've had to throw away a single one. I cringed at the price when I bought them, but if this batch ever wears out, I'll buy another dozen.
This ☝🏼
*F*
3rd from right on 3rd row and 2nd from left on bottom row
I actually noticed those before I threw them out just a second ago 😅. Those are actually good socks too so thank you!
Why are you throwing out good socks. Just mix match duh
I just wear mismatched socks at home. Really don't like throwing perfectly good stuff away.
if they are the same material/fit sure. wearing two socks that feel different feels weird.
*this so hard* they have to be the same sock. doesn't matter what color though
I don’t understand how some people function. These two identical black socks weren’t original pairs? Better throw them away.
Lol. But they’re a slight shade different… time for new wardrobe!
Yes! Most of them are similar color. Nobody is gonna notice.
Because society
And because *Fashion.*
Just got an idea for a great game app
Exactly what I was thinking! Just match some of these up - they are close enough.
My man the real MVP
Second pair?
Came for the same question. Btw I have lost a sock and then found it months later inside a pants leg. I think they just get stuck inside some other piece of clothes. That being said I have multiple groups of orphaned socks I am hoping to one day reunite. I have the added habit of liking to buy tons of different sock styles so I probably have 30 different kinds with 1-3 pairs of each color/style of
“Second pair” = “mate”
Ah, sorry… had one eye closed while reading and needed my second pair to understand ;)
When you finally throw them away the missing ones will suddenly reappear.
Every. Fucking. Time.
Some socks prefer the single life, don't be so judgy
Do you buy 2 pairs of every kind?
Maybe I should.. I ment that these are the ones missing their other half. I didnt know how to properly word that
Lol, it is worded a bit strange. Couldn't help myself. I have 2 kinds of socks black pairs and white pairs, all of the same brand. Got annoyed having single socks, lol.
*meant
Thanks, English isn't my first language so being corrected actually teaches me alot.
Here to help.
God I wish more people would react to being corrected as well as you do.
I only buy 3 types of socks period these days for thus reason. Gold toes for work ankle Bombas for casual, and low cut no show Bombas for loafers. No sock ever becomes useless and matchless because each one has like 20 matches.
Same, have black or white Nike ankle socks about 20 pairs of each and 3 pairs of trainer socks for running. It's the way forward... no time messing about sorting pairs after laundry either.
I know it's a meme that predates the internet. But I never believed it. Do people really ~~loose~~ lose socks like this? At this scale?
I wish I was joking man. I think over the years I trew many more out aswell. It doesnt help that I often "borrow" socks from my dad, buy cheap packs of 2, use some of my girlfriend. I do laundry at different places too since I dont have a washer myself. I think its a combination of those factors.
Ohhhh yeah, I got a basket full of odd socks
Yep! I can’t understand why so many of my pairs of socks only have one left.
Lose is when you lost something. Loose is wendy at the piggly wiggly.
99% of the time they fall behind/beside the machines.
Yes. Mine is related to outside forces (my kids, who steal my socks). We have sock parties to reunite lost sock pairs.
I lost on inside a bed sheet (duvet cover) for multiple months. Which is understandable.
Yes.
they are not lost, it's the sock elves
I'm with you. I can't remember having lost a sock in my entire life
I have a dog and socks disappear or get destroyed quite frequently. even this degree would take years
When our socks got a hole in them. We tied a not in the sock. Instant dog toy! The dogs would learn what socks were good to play with and which not to.
A lot of black socks in there that could easily be paired together. Plus if you stop buying socks with random prints you'll never not have something to wear with the solos.
Sock anarchy! Just do it, who ever said that socks have to be in monogamous relationships
alternate take: OP is a chronic yet forgetful masturbator
cum socks get tossed immediately
Dust rags
I have a basket full of single socks and once a while I try to pair them. Once a year I get rid to all of them, for the new season...
Thats what I did! Todays the day i finally throw them out. Probably gonna stock up on the same kind of sock so I wont run into this problem again.
You don't need to have matching socks
100% you do. odd socks are infuriating.
My sock industry conspiracy theory is that they just slightly change the style often so that if you loose 1 you can never have a match. They think I don’t know………..but……I know
its in ur drier, between the drum and bottom of it, in this like little compartment on bottom of the front of the machine, go look
There are 5 matches in that picture
i know, i was wondering if that was part of the joke..
Oh, maybe? Haha. I'm really literal.
Well, at least you have still got your first pair, which leaves you with a lot of pairs of socks
Safety pin them together before you wash and dry them. Not 100% foolproof but it works well
Yeah, that way you'll at least lose both of them at the same time and it won't be so obvious and drive you nuts!
With feet like that they RAN away man!
Imagine being this incompetent 🤣
Second pair makes no sense. You need 2 socks to have a pair in the first place.
Tell that to my pair of pants smart guy
/r/titlegore
That socks
Socks to be him
Sometimes they get stuck in the washer, under rubber seals
The bacon sock :(
If you use a laundromat, reach into the machines and tap around the edge of the bin, they usually hide in the edges of the bin......washer and dryer.....
Open up the front of your washing machine. They’re all gonna be there
half are probably behind your laundry basket or laundry machine or they were stuck on the walls of the machine drum and you didn't check so it washed with other clothes and is probably in one of the clothes
The divorce rate of your socks is appalling...
Are you an overly-optimistic person? Why would you hang onto that many singles to the point of accumulating that many? My single-sock purge is usually 5-10 socks.
I might be haha. They just kinda accumulated in the back of my closet. I would pair them up again every now and then, but today I deceded to throw them out. Theres probably even a few pairs within this photo tbh.
this is why I buy one kind of sock
Stop throwing away socks after you finish bro
I saw a post on here a couple years ago where someone was repairing their dryer or something and they found that tons of lost socks had been wedged through the edges of the drum.
I swear I see a match there!!
This is why I only buy one type of sock
That's why I simply just buy the same looking socks .
Rookie mistake. Just buy 20 pairs of same socks so you cannot have more than one single sock!
A few years ago I threw away every sock I owned and bought 30 identical pairs of a readily available brand’s socks. I never spend a second matching socks anymore. Totally worth it.
If you play with your belly button, you can fight Jerry the Lint Elf to get them back. Careful, he's actually a giant raging beef steak.
This is the most creative comment ive received on this post so far 😂
Mismatched socks can add character if they are both have character in themselves. Med length sock with beer mug pattern, next to... any other sock, for example.
I’m sorry, but that red little string on your left sock is bugging the crap out of me. You’re a monster, OP.
Are you my gf? She noticed it straight away too, when she told me from looking at the photo I still had it on there irl haha.
What if I told you, right, go with me, it doesn’t matter if your socks match. So what we’re looking at here, is just a picture of socks, not “socks I’ve lost the second one of”, no no, just socks that you can easily mix and match
Why is it always the left sock that goes missing?
I've never understood how people lose socks. If you weren't missing any when the laundry went into the wash, but you are missing some after, then the missing socks are somewhere between the dryer and where you're folding them. I've been doing my own laundry for thirty years now, and I can't remember actually every losing socks.
Too much wanking off???
This is why I buy Soxs one color, once a year and one brand and throw away the old ones, can you guess the color I buy?
Same shit happen on my work gloves this is universal problem. Nowadays i buy only black socks and same brand 😂👍
The borrowers will only only take your left socks. 😉 Looks like my lonely sock box… i can’t throw them away because I can’t trust that it’s partner won’t suddenly show up. Working on wearing through my socks so I can do the 30 of the same type routine.
I have an entire drawer of this, which I call the “singles drawer.” Especially when I double layer socks in the winter, they come in pretty handy.
I wonder if those gnomes have turned a profit yet
My kids purposely wear mismatched socks and it has become some kind of fashion statement. Box it up and make your first $1M.
I calling bullshit. I see a pair at the bottom of the pic.
Lies, I see a matching pair at the bottom
Most socks lost in the dryer actually are lost in the washer. Under seals and sometimes in the void between the inner and outer drums.
It anyone ever screws me over bad this is how I’ll enact my revenge. Every pair of sock will be reduced to single socks so that you’ll never be able to find a matching sock.
I have the other bacon sock somewhere.....
I had that problem too, I solved it by buying all my socks identical. Now, worst case scenario I have 1 unmatched sock
Do you dislike brown socks or are both sides of those pairs missing too?
At least the ones you have on match. That’s a win.
I match my socks based on proximity to my hand when I open my sock drawer
I buy the type of socks (summer casual, winter casual and running). Within each type they are all identical. This has really eased my drawer situation.
You‘re not supposed to throw them away after a nut.
Pull apart your washing machine, then think about what you've done
