In a blitz of ultra-efficientness Erin has slogged her way through several loads of washing over the last day or two and brough the pile down to a few items that need to be washed using methods so arcane that I swear the symbols on the washing machine move when you glance away.

This means that there are no dirty socks. You can of course, see the problem here - my sock drawer was never designed to take more than 3/4 of my socks, 1/4 being dirty at any one time. By cleaning all my socks at once (save for the pair on my feet) I've run out of sock-storage space!

What am I going to do now?!?!?!?

Wait, the sock monster didn't consume them all?

I wish I had such problems...

As for clothing that requires arcane washing methods, I just don't buy it -- I figure the pleasure of wearing such clothing cannot possibly be worth the torture and pain of washing by hand...

Funny post. :D

Solution: Give back all Saint's socks?

I know exactly what you mean about socks, I have a similar situation, but I could easily remedy it if I were less lazy, at least 20% of those socks are single socks, since the washing machines I use seem to love to devour one sock in a pair (which I'm fairly certain is exactly what happens since once I pulled out 3/4 of a pair of socks).

As far as arcane washing instruction, that's what dry cleaners are for :)

A long time ago I was told the secret of how to get your missing socks back from the sock fairy...

You put your single sock back in to get washed.. and Lo and Behold! Both socks will be returned to you.

Throw out those that don't fit into the drawer. The holey old ones will do.

I need the data in my mission to convince Sean that more clothes/dishes just make for a bigger pile and if you have just enough the washing WILL get done cos it has to. (except he'd just go and buy mre, I know it)

Oh! I sooo wish that my kitchen was big enough for a dishwasher without refitting the whole thing :(

I would have thought it was obviouse,

get smaller feet, thus smaller socks.. thus fit the draw
