Don't judge me.
My dryer seems to like to sample one sock out of a pair, although I recently matched up a loner that had been tossed back into the hamper for some months.
I think the dryer finally ate one of a matching pair, with the two leftovers now forming one single remainder pair.
I'm firmly convinced that there's an alternate universe somewhere, and all the people keep wondering where all the extra socks come from.
Why do you think "unmatched socks" are such a raving hit?
