I've tried every trick in the book. I'm convinced there's some kind of gremlin living in there.

It's those little lemmings that make the washer run... they feed on socks, but never in a pair.
I've talked to my friend about this before and she suggested that I should have 12 pair of the exact same socks. It's inevitable that lemmings will eat the socks, but at least I can wear 2 lonely guys who've lost their partners.

Sometimes when a sock reaches a certain level of consciousness and enlightenment, it is able to depart this coarse, earthy plane of existence and move into the Argyle Universe. There, it will hopefully find a mate and help populate the Sea of Sock-quility, where Saffron Gold-Toe, Queen of all Footwear, holds reign.
That or it's trapped between the tub and the washer casing, it's spirit crushed like a salmon unable to ascend the rapids. *sniff*

Unfortunately there is more than one 'thief' and they are very hard to catch. Santa's elves are responsible for the vast majority of missing socks. They sneak into your laundry room at all hours of the day and steal away your socks when you are looking. Have you ever noticed how more socks go missing during the winter months? This is because the elves are getting closer and closer to their deadline (Christmas Eve) and they need to fulfill their sock quota before Santa can head out on his sleigh with all his toys. What do the elves do with all of the socks they steal?
They use them for stockings of course! :-)

There is no gremlin. Socks are an adventurous lot and sometimes they just strike out on their own, leaving their mate behind for a little socky journey.

Mine is in the dryer. And my children swear there is one in the yard. It's amazing how the kids socks disappear outside, not to mention in their bedrooms. Those evil thieves are everywhere, out to get our socks. Or maybe kidnapped by sandles. Their tired of the ruining their lokk by being worn with them. Not a cute couple.

Your problem is that you think it's in the washer when really it's in the dryer! Also it's not a gremlin. It's socky smurf.

I'm convinced that there is an invisible force in my dryer that makes me pull out every single *different* sock first before I finally pull out a match for one of them. Brown sock....ok, find the other brown sock...this one looks like the match...nope, it's slightly darker brown...nope, lighter brown...nope...nope...dangit, nope again...FINALLY!

yes, but it's not a gremlin, it's a troll, and he says to leave him more of the pink ones - he can get more money for them

Did you know that washing machines eat socks? That's what they feed on... ;)
