Got your attention, didn't I? Bet I get some disappointed lonely folks from Google, too. This is what 4 years-worth of mate-less socks looks like. Where on earth are their partners??
Once I was doing laundry at the seminary and, as you might guess, more socks went in than came out. Actually, no socks came out at all. After a brief search I noticed the black goo on the inside of our 50-year-old dryers (I'm not kidding - these are vintage 1960s machines). Some of it was impossible to scrape off. All my socks had been destroyed, and I had to make a trip to Socks-R-Us.
NO HONKIN WAAAAY!!!! How can you possibly have that few socks without mates??? I have a running basket with about 40 in it--every year or so I pitch a bunch--which brings the mates out of the woodwork and then THEY wait in the basket...I use 'em for dustrags and once put one on a kittens head-kitty did not care for it so much. Your title is a KILL!
Nadja, that doesn't look too bad to me - I have 6 months worth of socks in a huge moving box. Of course we have a dog that likes to carry around socks in his mouth too. I have an old friend who uses socks as cleaning rags.
There are a few missing from the bunch--Bret always buys the same grey athletic socks, so whenever there are two singles, I match 'em up. There are two in there that don't even belong to anyone in our household!
No, actually I have a top loader. Wouldn't it be funny if they one day find Elvis and Amelia Earhart, and they are sitting around talking amid 20 million odd socks...?

ReplyDeleteDeacon, that is just gross: black goo dwelling at the back of the dryer and eating socks...it's like Dr. Seuss gone bad or something...
ReplyDeleteI've got a basket of those at my house.
ReplyDeleteWe could be in-laws! :)
I think they're at my house!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Dandelionmom - NO HONKIN" WAY!! I get that many mate-less socks every time I do laundry! ; )
ReplyDeleteDo you have a front end loader? I never lost a sock until we got one. I do believe the front loaders suck them into the drain.
