A Terrible Tale

[andrewducker]

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?!?!?!?

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.

My solution to the sock problem is to just wear whatever two socks are nearest the top of the pile when I open the cupboard. I understand that theoretically socks come in pairs, but I've always thought of this as more of a guideline than a rule.
