It's a sock conspiracy

[tavalon]

I just moved into a new place. For the first time in 11 years, I'm living alone. Last night, I did my first load of laundry. The whole basket because, well, it's just me. This morning I emptied the dryer and there are three, yes, three mismatched socks.

When I lived communally, we always had a sock box for mismatched socks. We called it the sock game, to make the matching seem less tedious. I just assumed that was the cost of having lots of people doing laundry. Now, I'm not so sure.

I'll have to check my closet and see if 3 wire hangers just showed up.

1. or winter with static and one made it into sleeve of a sweater??? nt

[tavalon]

3. That's actually plausible.

I'll check it out.

I just found it darn amusing that socks are already missing - after the very first load.

5. i know. it was a fun story. and yea...

sigh... how much easier is that.

11. Having been this route before, I know I will eventually revel in alone

But being 10 days out from the probable ending of my marriage, I'm more lonely than happily alone. This too will pass.

12. ah tav

i am remembering. i am sorry. i hadnt put it together. but now i am remembering.... some stuff over thanksgiving holidays.

stick foot in mouth

13. No you didn't stick your foot in your mouth

Heck, I wouldn't likely remember some random DUer had marital problems that peaked over Thanksgiving.

And I do have a special fondness for living alone, which is strange considering how rarely I've done it. That's why I know I'll be fine, later.

Thanks.

6. Oldie but goldie.

Socks are sacrifices to the laundry gods. The survivors cling to the rest of the clothing because they're terrified.

8. Socks are the ultimate

stealth critters.

Wash them in a mesh bag and they will somehow sneak out.

Pin pairs of them together with those plastic laundry doo-dads and they manage to (at the very least) trade places with each other. Some of them escape for good.

The human race is no match for these devious monsters. We are just lucky they don't try to kill us in our sleep.

10. And for me, it would be especially easy for them

since I always wear socks to bed. One on each foot!

[pipi_k]

17. Me too...

socks in bed, even in the summer.

And around the house as well, only I wear two pair to cushion my feet because I hate shoes and don't like stepping on stuff the dogs bring in.

The socks are just barely tame...no telling what they could do if they thought they had the upper hand.

Or foot.

14. have you seen a large white cat in the vicinity?

My Loki is a notorious sock thief!

15. This might help with the mystery

16. One of my socks reappeared.

When I returned from the laundry room in our private community, I realized that one black sock was missing. [img][/img] The next week the sock was waiting for me.




I wish you happiness in your new home, tavalon.
