Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for December 30, 2021

Dryers are devious, they shred their victims and you don’t recognize the sock remains in the lint trap

Everybody should sign up to the National Sock Registry.

I’d stay with milk cartons and cereal boxes.

End the fashion tyranny of Matching Socks! You should never have to throw away a sock because the other one has a hole in it. :)

LOL, Jeff! I can’t count how many times I’ve gotten rid of a sock because its mate was missing. The sad part is, much, much later, the mate would show up, so, once again, I had a single sock. However, I could safely throw that one away, because the other one was in a landfill somewhere.

Maybe looking for “socks offenders”?

Slightly fold the top of one sock and tuck it’s partner into the fold before tossing them in the wash. 9 time out of 10, the pair will stay together till the end.

I’ve only ‘lost’ a sock once, and neither the washer nor drier was the culprit. The clothes chute exits alongside the chimney in the basement. One of the bricks snagged the sock when I sent an armload of dirty laundry down. It took two weeks before I noticed it.

I’m missing a sock right now, look for it all the time and it drives me nuts. I think the dryer is eating them to mess with me for not using fabric softener sheets.
