Just empty the washing-up water out of the sink. That's where I find all my teaspoons.
Re the socks. I think these are spirited away by secret agents from charities who help land-mine victims.

You teaspoon are being thrown in the garbage. You don't see it happen but that's where they are.
Your socks are there. They just went on a little vacation. One usually gets stuck in the washer or dryer or even stuck inside another piece of clothes. But, they all come back after vacation eventually. Keep a pile of the single socks so when the others return they will have a mate.
I've been married over 30 years and I have never lost a sock. Hard to believe but, I count them when they go in and I count them when they come out. If one is missing I search the washer, dryer and if I still can't find it I start checking inside the clothes. If I can't have a vacation neither can my socks.

I remember a saying a london lad once said to me, 'No matter what you lose, always check behind the fridge.' lol.
Seriously though, socks can get caught inbetween the lining and the drum of the washer. Get the top off the washer and have a look around, I bet you'll find some odd stuff, lol.
Teaspoons on the other hand, tend to make thier way into peoples lunch boxes and never return to the house.
lol, its life......

Have you ever read the book or seen the film "The Borrowers"? My guess is that's where they go. Socks make good sleeping bags and teaspoons are great for cultivating the garden.
Failing that, then there's probably several parallel universes, each containing single socks, teaspoons and ball point pens, etc.

It's the 5th dimension that some objects are unable to return from. Larger, heavier objects do return but never from exactly where they disappeared. A good example of this is when you are working on your car and that 14mm spanner you put down only minutes ago re-materialises about 4 feet away, just out of reach, particularly when you are underneath the car with both arms in the engine bay. As for the sock conundrum, I just buy all the same type and colour.

the socks get sucked into the washing machine and out they go in the drain cycle..this has been proven
the teaspoons are being pilfered by someone in the house..or a friend or relative with a problem with sticky fingers..it happens in the best of homes..i am guilty of stealing towels and dishes from homes and hotels and even the funeral parlor when they have a wake..its just a compulsion i have had a long time...but so far i have not stolen from my Church as this would be going to far..but a medicine cabinet is fair game too as these aspirins and stuff cost money you know..lol

A research group in Australia recently did a study of the missing teaspoons. They did not find the spoons, but did find that any large city produces several tons of lost spoons annually. Waching machines and the monster-who-lives-under-my-bed have an insatiable appetite for socks. You can fool them into abstaining by buying only cheap socks. They really only love the expensive kind!

Socks I have a problem with, Tea spoons, never, I think you may have encountered a small problem with a mini Bermuda triangle, you can catch the little blighters from bog seats and curry houses. The sure fire way to get rid of a mini Bermuda triangle is to throw all your socks and tea spoons away for 3 months so when they see there is nothing to gain from being there they'll p i s s off.
Good luck in your plight

I have the same problem at home. I usually save the other sock in case the other one appears from nowhere. I buy new set of teaspoons every month.

Socks I have always believed, go to the sock fairy who collects them but never returns them! Teaspoons generally end up in the rubbish by mistake as they are so small. Potato knives tend to end up in the toolbox of the "other half"!
