In your opinion where do all the lost socks go to?  

hehehhe this is the phantom sock eater..i have the same problem..even if i put them in the wash with the washbag..they still get nicked..but what i do find is that sometimes i will retieve socks two weeks down the line that the odd ones are lying in the draw..so they do get pired up...sometimes..

Hmmm... I don't know, there might be an elf stealing your socks.. LOL.

I usually throw my socks but the last time I made some creativity with my old sock, I put them in a vase with this flowering plant and until now the plant is still alive and I don't have to regularly water it b'coz the moisture last long in the socks.

My brother girl friend steals 'em and eats them. =)

We have lots of pairs that go missing, just like people's art work. funnily it ends up in her grubby hands and she doesn't act her age. (i hope she reads this)

Of course i'm joking. in a way but i do think she takes things without permission.

Oh man! I have no idea where they go. I think that if I did, I'd probably be rich! Maybe we should call in a psychic on this one? I have tons of them. I save them until one day I get fed up, save a few for rags and toss the rest away. I always have good intentions, buy the same sock, no color on them, so they all match, but it always goes astray! Maybe if we all put our mis matched socks together, we could come up with a couple of hundred pairs.

i am convinced there is a sock eating monster somewhere. It eats one sock from every pair i own and if i ever catch it im going to scure the little bugger

LOL...this is funny!I actually have a dryer that eats socks,washcloth and anything small enough to fit in that littel crack between the drumm and the housing.I didn't know this until my dryer just quit on me...when I had it looked at they found 2 socks and a washcloth stuck in there.

I live in your washroom, waiting for a pile of dirty clothes. I won't eat your jeans or sweaters, no, I want your socks.

He is pretty picky though, he will only go for the left ones, that's why you always end up losing one from a pair.

As far as what to do with mismatched socks. I save them and use them to dust with as well as to put over door knobs so they don't slam into the wall if someone opens the door fast. If all else fails, save them up in a big pile when you have enough, dye them all one color so it looks like you have matching socks.

hey this is a matter which i have never thought upon.. even i have lost a lots of socks and the important thing to notice is that only ine socks gets lost and we have to throw away the other isnt it..

wow.. so many cool ideas on what to do with the extra socks.. thanks everyone..

and as to where they go.. i'm just not sure... i've wondered before if maybe the companys make one sock that dissolves when you throw it in the washer just so that you have to go out and spend more money to buy another pair of socks..

I'm not sure about everywhere else but around here the new fad seems to be wearing mismatched socks anyways so my kids just grab a couple out of the drawer.. doesn't matter if it's an actual pair or not.. lol..

And I've tried the trick where you buy all the same color socks so that you always have a pair but your right.. it seems that one will lose color faster than the other so you still have a funny looking pair.

that is a very good question, but i'm sorry i don't have an answer, mybe under the bed or somewhere in the house?? i have no idea?
