the washing machine?

Question

does anyone have a sock monster? every time
i put socks into the wash in pairs i always seem to get a few
missing but never as a pair

Answer 1

I think it's the dryer actually... but yes, we all have one....

And if you don't have one, there's probably a coin operated one near you.

Answer 2

Where do they go? I gave up and now either pin or they have sock savers at places like Walmart that keeps socks together in the washer and through the dry cycle. You can also buy a mess bag to put them in and then just wash the bag. When my daughter was going up we kept a little basket just for stray socks. Every few weeks she would go through them and sometimes we could mate up a few pair. Never throw them away until you know for sure there is no mate. Look under beds, backs of closets, gym bags, etc

Answer 3

I think every house has a sock monster and also mine manages 2 shrink 1 of the pair, I put in 2 size 10s and get out 1 size ten and a usually a child size sock which would be OK but we have no kids living here strange that its a bit like the out of date bacon monster that lives in my fridge whenever I fancy a bacon sarnie the pack of bacon is always out of date another of lives mystery's sent to make me doubt my sanity

Answer 4

LOL well yrs ago i had a washing maching with a filter at the bottom at the back, hen i emptied this part i used to find a few of my kids socks in there. Maybe try looking in the filter if you have one, if not then keep blaming the sock monster like me 'cuz i dont have a filter anymore yet i still have socks going missing!!

Answer 5

Yeah, but I figured out where the monster's hidden!!! When you're taking the clothing out of the washer, the socks fall between the washer and the dryer and the monster sucks them under either the washer or the dryer! I found four socks under there, all different kinds that I've lost over the years. Haha.

Answer 6

I DO NOT HAVE A SOCK MONSTER. I did when I was young. I got rid of him in a very tricky way. I never let my laundry get one load ahead of me. Color, Whites, and Jeans. I have a 3 basket sorter and when one is full, I wash that load. That way the socks are in there together and they come out of the dryer together. When I used to let the laundry pile up and do it all on way day, I lost all kinds of socks. This really works.

Answer 7

If someone says they have not lost a sock in the laundry they either:
A: don't do laundry
B: don't wear socks
C: are lying

I have tons of single, lonely socks. They used to have a mate but recently divorced. From time to time, I evict those loosers... put them in the trash-kick them to the curb on trash pick up day. One day, my friend, you'll find it within you to do the same. Be strong.

Answer 8

We've just got a new one and luckily no sign of a sock monster yet, we've put sock monster repellant arount the washing machine to prevent one getting in, you should try it, its available in most good supermarkets!

Answer 9

I must have the king of the sock monsters in my wash machine glad it's not just me that suffers this.

Answer 10

Yes, the monster used to live at our house while my children were growing up. There are some clips available now that you can clip the socks together that will help.

Answer 11

Laundry gadget sounds stupid ? Like, you do a lot more beneficial then only sparkling clothing interior the laundry. I genuinely have dissimilar machines, why isn't the gadget that washes my canines talked about as a laundry gadget ?
