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?

I think it is often that you just didn’t put it in the washer to begin with, but the first time you notice is when you go to fold your laundry and “lost in the dryer” is just a false attribution or euphemism for “how is it possible that one sock made it from hamper to folding and the other did not”.
