The stray sock.

[Ahamay]

You've done the laundry and ironing there it is the one sock this particular item has been hanging around for weeks i found it's partner today in the airing cupboard under the pile of blankets, sheets, ect.
How it worked it's way under that lot is beyond me so if any of you lot has an explanation be it scientific or total BLKS i'd be grateful.

The washing machine opens a secret portal to the International Sock Relocation Programme, where lone socks are reassigned to random dimensions, Tupperware cupboards, and the area behind the dryer or in your case under a pile of blankets.

More importantly why are you completing Dhobi tasks yourself?

After 22 years in the army i don't mind a bit of Dhobi bashing besides i can iron shirts and trousers better than most in my family.
Who new them washing machines were such sneaky bastards.

Find an orphan sock? Put it immediately into the dirty laundry basket. Every time.

They'll find each other - eventually.
