When Younger Son lived at home he would toss his socks anywhere with the result that when he left to go to university and I did a grand clear-out of his room I discovered 57 socks under his bed.
Since he's left home for good Husband and I don't have the problem of odd socks. Socks are washed, socks are returned and they're all in pairs. Until recently.
For the last month or so odd socks have been disappearing. YS was quite happy to wear odd socks, in fact, he chooses still to wear them; Husband, on the other hand, is not happy to wear odd socks.
Where do they go? It's a mystery. Sometimes they turn up eventually; sometimes they are never seen again.
Just one of life's little conundrums.

Gardeners, any idea of what this plant might be? It's about 15" high. Is it possible I might have planted it? Or could it have just growed?

I will occasionally fold a load of laundry and come up with socks that have no mate. Usually it's because I did a second load and one got in each load. Other times it's because I dropped a sock on the way to the washer.
This sounds like a case for Holmes & Watson!
My washing machine is the divorce machine - socks go in in pairs and come out separated. I have a drawer full of unmatched socks and periodically go through them and try to make pairs. It irritates me, but my husband is quite happy to wear unmatched socks.
Any visiting puppies lately? They tend to take socks and bury them.
I have a daughter who loves to wear odd socks, oddness suits her.
I never liked those bushes with the little orange berries. They seemed particularly useless. Never understood why there were so many of them around.
When a sock goes missing at my house it usually turns up static clung to some item of clothing.
I just buy ONLY black socks. Thus ANY two make a pair, Non-problem solved.
