Why Do We Always Lose One Sock in the Laundry?

Has anyone else noticed that no matter how careful you are, your socks seem to mysteriously disappear after doing laundry? I swear, I start with pairs, but end up with a bunch of single socks looking for their long-lost partners.

Today I found myself staring at the dryer, wondering if there's some secret sock portal inside it. Maybe they're off having sock adventures somewhere else? It’s funny how such a small thing can be oddly frustrating yet amusing.

What’s the weirdest laundry mystery you’ve encountered? Or do you have a foolproof method to keep socks paired up?
