not in a drawer, but there is a designated "single sock" pile at the Larry house. DOH! i can't believe I'm admitting to this!

[andi*pandi]

the single sock pile is on top of the bureau. usually they are all reunited.

I keep the singles in a corner of my closet. They eventually all reunite.

Lucky you. I have some permanently widowed socks...

I lose a lot of socks too - Where do they go!?!?! One of the Great Mysteries of the Universe I guess.

[ReggieX]

Nope. I only use front loaders, and you'll never lost a sock in one.

[osiris]

I save them in a pile and hope that they breed.

[Dakar]

I throw them all in a drawer and go hunting for the pairs come morning.

If none are found, I usually don't care and put them on anyway. They come in black and navy blue, you can't tell the difference half the time.

http://www.sockheaven.org/ ? ;-)

out of the wringer, into the dryer
spins the clothes higher
squeezing out static and shocks
little stockings tumbling 'round together
couldn't cling forever
now i'm missing one of my socks
lord, where do they go?

one pile waits with their god in a box
the other pile nervously mocks heaven
misfits lost in the dryer, take heart
maybe there's a place up in sock heaven

gee, never thought i'd get to so appropriately quote that obscure song in casual conversation. ;-)

be well.

My theory is that they get trapped inside pants and sleeves from all that static-cling clinginess. Look there first.

Most are caught under the agitator.

I always match up my socks while doing the laundry.

Dunno, that'd be a hell of a distance for my socks to travel.

Then again, laundry is the fifth dimension.

I only wear mismatched socks. That way I have one less thing to worry about, and it's cool

I tried to counter the problem by only using black socks.

It's amazing how many different ways you can make a black sock. Not even counting all the subtle nuances in black.

I solved the problem of missing socks by only wearing my socks once then throwing them away

[Rolling Bones]

I solved my problem too by buying either black socks or grey socks. And not pairing them off. I just throw them in a drawer, grab two black or two grey and that way you never wear the same two together. And you never know if you're missing any.

Every cupla months I buy a new six pack.
