I found a pile of socks under my bed, near the headboard.  Some brand new.  I had been wearing them to bed, but taking them off later in the night, and sticking them under my pillow.  Moving the pillow around pushed them off the top of the bed where they fell back down behind it.

If you really want to know I can tell you what I found out.  My late husband was always 'fixing' everything.  He put new heating elements in the dryer (we could have bought a new one but he just wanted to do it.....and he did).

On that same note, when my daughter was little the water stopped pumping out of the machine.  He took the entire thing apart.  Sometimes a sock or something will float up over the basket and get into the drum part of the washer.  This will sometimes cause the pump filter to be blocked and it makes it so the thing won't pump out the water.

On another note, the sock thief comes along and only steals one sock.  It varies on which one he wants so sometimes you find a righty missing ..... other times a lefty missing.  That's a more accurate account of what happens.

I think there is an alternate universe (beyond the Rainbow Bridge) where this stuff goes and lives happily mismatched lives.

I KNOW THE ANSWER !!!  (she said, waving her arm furiously)

Turns out, it happens during the rinse cycle ..... the washer starts spinning and those wet socks stretch out like long skinny cloth snakes .... and as the spin cycle continues, BOTH the wash water and those long cloth snakes go out the pipe and into the sewer system!  

SOLUTION:    Buy a few of those mesh lingerie bags and put several matching sets into each bag.  You will NEVER lose any socks again!   Well, at least I haven't lost any socks since I started doing this.

(I love solving mysteries.)
