So, it’s true! This picture proves the washing machine does eat our socks

The struggle is most definitely real when it comes to missing socks.

It feels like we buy a few new pairs every couple of weeks, but one ALWAYS goes missing. Always.

You think you might have dropped it on your way to the washing machine, or else it got lost on its way from the washer to the dryer… never to be found again.

Well, this might actually answer all of our missing sock questions.

As posted on Bored Panda, a woman shared the story of how her husband attempted to fix a washing machine… only to find an abundance of socks hidden in the bottom of the machine.

“Today, my husband got tired of fooling with one of the washing machines that was just not working properly and decided to take it apart, starting with the bottom panel. To his shock, this is what he found…”

She continued: “Socks, underwear, a credit card… and that is just what was in the bottom of the machine.”

“I don’t know what to say! 25 years he has been doing this job, and for 25 years he has been working on appliances, including washers and dryers. But NEVER have we seen this!”

Can you believe it? Have all of our socks gone to the bottom of the machine?! There’s only one way to find out…
