I am one of those people who lose socks …..where do they go ….and why do they only disappear once they have been washed ….. However, I’ve got an even bigger puzzle ….. Why, do I only lose the left sock ? I never lose the right dock….ive got a drawer full of right socks ….but hardly any left socks ! Anyone know what’s going on…..please let me know …… Do you lose socks ? Do you always lose the left or the right sock ?

That certainly sounds like a conspiracy among your socks and the left ones being suspicious! Maybe you need to do some investigation and see where they go once you put them in the wash

I don't have left or right socks and mine fit either foot. But, they do tend to disappear too

Haha same here, my washer must be eating them. Mine are always random though, left one day and right the next. Maybe your left socks are all hiding together somewhere having a party

You mean there is a left sock and a right sock? All the socks I ever bought have been just generic socks because the socks fit either foot. But I just wore/ wear plain old common socks. Now I feel left out. Or, does Europe make socks different? Either way, my socks tend to disappear too. Not both, but one.
