Ever notice how socks seem to have a secret life once they hit the laundry? One minute you have a perfect pair, and the next, you’re left with a lonely sock wondering where its buddy went. I’ve tried everything—special mesh bags, counting before and after, even blaming the washing machine monster. Still, some socks vanish into thin air.

It’s like there’s a sock black hole in every laundry room! The mystery adds a bit of daily comedy, but it also makes you wonder: is there a sock universe out there? Or maybe they just run off to start new lives as puppet friends?

What’s your funniest or weirdest lost sock story? Any theories on where they disappear to?

Totally get the sock black hole theory - I've lost more socks than I can count, even with mesh bags. Sometimes I swear they sneak out during the spin cycle and start a secret sock society somewhere.

One time, I found a missing sock inside a pillowcase after laundry day - turns out it was hiding in plain sight! Maybe the socks just like to play hide and seek with us.
