They're food for the Washer and Dryer monsters

Because, unfortunately, inside every washing machine lives a Sock Monster. But actually his diet isn't confined just to socks, but pretty much anything you put in the washing machine that comes in pairs. Gloves, detachable garment cuffs. It it's a pair of anything, the Sock Monster pounces
I had (still have) a very beautiful, and not too cheap Cashmere winter dress with detachable lace cuffs. The dress itself had to be drycleaned, but the cuffs could be removed, washed and starched separately. I put the cuffs into one of those laundry bags that you use for anything rather delicate, and put it into the machine for washing. When the washload was removed, there was a break in the seam of the laundry bag, one cuff was still inside, the other one was gone. I went piece by piece through everything I removed from the laundry load, and I swear that cuff simply wasn't there. That was a year ago, and to this day it has never come to light.
I've got a bag full of odd socks, mine and my husbands; fabric gardening gloves and some of husband's workgloves, that have a missing mate. I hang on to that bag of "twinless twins" in continued hope that some day their partner will magically reappear. But in my heart, I know that they have all been long consumed and digested by the Sock Monster who lives in my Washing Machine.

Look between the washer and the dryer. That is where mine always fall. Space enough for the sock to fall, but not enough to get my hand and arm in.

If you have other clothes in the machine besides the socks. check them it could of gotten tangled up in them.

ahhh this is a mystery, my personal theory is that it slips into a parallel dimension , where lost keys disappear to also the abode of mr nobody who consumes biscuits that mysteriously disappear before anybody can consume them and from where used matresses appear in skips and graffitti appears on walls . just a theory though!
