We’ve all had this occur multiple times in our lives: we do the laundry, one sock from the pair goes missing. We check the washer and the dryer, it’s nowhere to be found. It happens often enough to be a running cultural, universal joke. But it makes no sense. How does it happen?
In: Planetary Science
I have literally never had this happen that I’m aware of.
However, I buy big packs of all identical socks, so any one sock doesn’t really have a specific mate. I also don’t pair them up, they all just go in one drawer and when I need socks I just grab two.
So actually I could be losing socks regularly and wouldn’t know it, but I’ve never once had to ever look for a specific sock to complete a pair.
