Vanishing Socks: Mystery Solved

Socks magically vanish after putting them in the washing machine?!!
Theories on why your socks just keep on going missing all the time?!!
Only one sock that goes missing, instead of three?!!

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

Read on after the break to know how to prevent this madness from keep on happening.

First of all, before going further, let me ask you a factual question, did you know that some people actually lose £240 from lost laundriese a year?

That’s about 418.33800 USD, mind you.

So, what is the cause of this disaster?

Well, every time you wash your clothes, did you realize that the washing machine spins? Good. Because that’s the problem here. Sometimes, the socks will go over the tub of the washing machine due to the high centrifrugal force that is generated when the agitator spins around with high rotational acceleration (F=ma, right?)

It’s like learning biology all over again.

On rare occasions, if your socks are lost and they just hate you or have some emotional problems, prepare for the ‘revenge of the lost socks’ as you will soon find your washing machine jammed at its pump.

But sometimes if you're lucky, the socks will just stick to the upper side of the washing machine, using their ninja techniques, with the help of some moisture, to hide from your smelly feat.

So how do we overcome the problem?

      1) Every time you wash your clothes, be sure to feel the upper sides of the washing machine to make sure your socks aren’t stuck there.

     2) Clip your pair of socks together using sock clips or by attaching your socks together by folding the top of the socks together when you do your laundry. It really does help.

      3) If you’re really worried of not seeing your socks again after washing them, consider counting each and   every one of them before putting them inside the washer.

Wait...What number was I on again?

      4) Or if you’re even more worried, do a load of socks ONLY, and remember to not mix it with your underwears. Those aren’t socks.

        5) Make sure you don’t drop any socks on the floor while picking up your clothes or when putting your clothes into the washing machine. Socks are sometimes really slick at running away from us. They just know the right time to sneak away.

        6) When folding your socks, make sure each sock has a pair. If some don’t, then check if you’re sitting on any of the pairs. Make sure that you don’t fart during this period or your socks will have two times more smell than usual.

      7) Place orphaned socks into one place (as long as it isn't trash can), so you they can stand there and be as a lesson for you for not watching your socks with your utmost caring ability. You could also use them for other things such as puppets or whatever you use it for.

Poor them, orphaned. You -…!

       8)And there you have it. No more vanishing socks!

Other plausible causes of vanishing socks:

           

      1) You
Did you ever think that you could actually have deliberately kicked your stinky socks under your bed, trying to hide them from your friends who just suddenly decided to crash into your room,  and forgot about it, instead of actually losing them to the washing machine?

      2) Santa
He just likes socks for some reason.

      3) Those ‘talking’ twins baby’s you saw on youtube with your sister
“     Tatatatata!”… That’s why.

This.

      4) Davy Jones
Did you know even know he actually wears a sock (as revealed in Spongebob)?

Food for thought:

Since we looked at what caused the disaster, it would be better to look at what has a farfetch’d chance of causing le problem, just to make things crystal clear.

1       

      1) Aliens
I’m sure these guys have a lot of better things to do – like destroying our world into bits and making every person a slave, than stealing your petty socks.

2    2) The weird guy next door
No matter how weird the guy next door is, if he has never entered your house and slept on your couch, there is a high chance that he DIDN’T steal your socks.

      3)  Your baby brothers/sisters
Why? Because he, she, it… or whatever you call them, is just too busy sucking their toes to worry about stealing your socks for no reason. Plus, since they aren’t twins, I don’t think they would bother at all about missing socks, or would they?

      4) MeIt just ain't my thing. ‘Nuff said.

       Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it. Just make sure you don't get any socks missing or you won't be able to buy that freakin' Eye Phone For S. 

Succes!!!
