Terabith Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Last week I lost two masks in the wash. This week I lost another one. I keep a careful inventory. I also have four socks that don't have mates. GRRRRR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonhawk Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Hey, diddle, diddle, the laundry's a riddle The wash keeps going amuck The little cat plays with sequins and strings And the masks ran away with the socks. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some kind of magical forgetful spirit is using your dryer and leaving sequins as payment. It’s clearly the only explanation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janeway Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Check in the other kids drawers. That’s where my missing clothes have shown up. I have no idea why they would just put my clothes away in their doors just because it’s in their baskets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Also, the corners of fitted sheets when they’re folded by people who aren’t me. These same people will wash their underwear with the sheets. There is the distinct possibility that the missing items are inside your machine. People find all sorts of things when they have their machines serviced. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisoncooks Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 These threads amaze me because in 21 years of having my own home/doing laundry, I have never lost anything in the wash (nor been gifted any items from laundry gremlins). HOW (?!?!) does it happen? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why they would just put my clothes away in their doors just because it’s in their baskets. This happens at our house too. Except for my husband and I, each person's laundry is separate, but I think sometimes in our rush to switch the loads, something small like a sock or a mask can be left behind, where in then gets mixed into the next load. And my boys are pretty oblivious and just toss any socks in the dresser or leave the clean mask in a random place because "I would see it there". 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasProud Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Yeah, the sequel to Toy Story should be the adventures of socks inside and outside the dryer. LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then one day, the dryer was left open, and I saw my chance. This is my story."

Terabith Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 So my husband who, in our house, is the official finder, found one mask, and it turns out I had mismatched some socks, so we're only missing one mask and one sock now. Thank God for him. He really is the best. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
