Of course it doesn't, not all lint is recovered, some collects on the lint screen. Sometimes the lint particles are moving too fast for the sock fairies to catch. Making the problem worse is the perpetual shortage of sock fairies. Many sock fairies are working double shifts and still many loads of laundry go through without the benefit of fairies to make the best use of the lint. If the lint sits too long, it spoils and is useless.

Actually, many, many years ago I was sitting on my back patio with a refreshing beverage (my first of the evening, and I had just started it...) when I saw flashes of movement out of the corner of my eye. I swiveled my head in time to see a largish bird actually finish YANKING a sock of my clothesline; the last I saw of that sock, it was headed into the woods by airborne express. So....

I learned this from an old man who appeared to my dreams... (I had to put something out of this world here... to keep the post exciting) |
Fact: one of the main purposes of washing clothes and sheets, especially socks, is to get rid of dead, scaly skin that you are constantly shedding.
Query: Why would you want to trap your socks in a pillowcase through the entire cycle, ensuring that that all this grungy stuff will remain with the socks and you'll be putting it back on your feet?

Becky-lee has long been savvy to the tricks of the sock-trolls and has found the perfect way to thwart them. She will only wear mismatched socks and has for, ohhh...10, 12 years? She has over a hundred un-pairs now, and was thrilled when friends brought Aussie Olympic socks that were MADE mismatched (one yellow, one green).
Now, this reallllly angers the sock-trolls, so every once in a while they return one that hasn't been seen for years, usually since before we moved into this house. When that doesn't faze her, they try bringing in something new that NObody's ever seen, but she doesn't let them rattle her. After all, that just means one more for her collection! |

| I seem to remember reading a sci-fi story once where these astronauts discovered the planet where all the missing socks ended up, I think after passing through a wormhole whose other end drifted about the Earth ... |

Sounds like something Vonnegut ought to have written, even if he didn't...

Incidentally, the solution to this is to wash your socks in a mesh bag....

Oh boy, now there are sock trolls too?
I wonder when my socks will start getting votes of 1... Or has it already begun? |
