    Is someone playing a joke on Me?

    I don't think so but I just can't explain.
    About a week ago, I bought a 12 pack of socks. They all different colors: green, blue, yellow, white, black, etc.
    I washed them, dried them... etc. When I took them to put in the drawer, there was exactly...one sock of each! As in one blue sock, one green sock, one yellow sock, etc for ALL of them!
    Why does this keeping happening? Why is it only one sock! It's also happens when I buy earrings. Only one goes missing! A L W A Y S !!!
    Some call it the Mystery of the Laundry Machines. But I don't have them. I hand wash all my clothes in the tub!
    And I know it doesn't go down my drain...the hole has a grate. :\
    So why whyyyyyy If this happens to you too, let me know so I don't feel cursed.
    Can't reason with the unreasonable.

      Dryers have been eating socks for decades now. Sometimes, a sacrifice to Whir'l'pul must be made.

        Check your closet and see if you have extra hangers. It is well known that socks are hanger larvae.

          Well... my socks are mostly athletic ones... so after I wash them, I dump them into a bowl and use whatever looks alright together. >_> So it doesn't matter!

          I only ball them up when I'm giving my cat a toy. She loves sock balls.

              Never heard of it happening without a washing machine and dryer, but I'm sure a sock-eater could manage to survive without one.

              I don't really know if it happens to me or not, since I normally wear mismatched socks in any case. You can even buy 'em like that already! Packs of 8 or 10 socks, and each one is different.

                  They take my butter spreader occasionally.

                  We also had a haunted closet at our old house. It locked with an old fashioned iron key. If you didn't put everything back in the closet exactly as it was before you touched it, you could never find the key. Not even if you looked under or inside of things. Only if you straightened out the various boxes and stuff would it turn up, and usually right in the open on a shelf.
                  When you start at zero, everything's progress.

                    I always seem to lose the most expensive socks. I just bought a mesh bag for delicate items so that they can't go anywhere from the wash to the dryer!
