Where the other sock goes? I knew I put both socks into the washing machine but only one came out 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Keeping the teaspoons company maybe?

AccidentallyFabulous · 05/03/2024 15:18

More in line with the tone of the thread, where is my black top?

Seriously, where? Not in the drawers (mine, DH's or DC's), not in the washing basket, not drying.

Well that's amazing.

I didn't expect this to be a 'stuff you didn't know existed and now can't live without ' thread.

They always turn out expensive.

Where my glasses are... They've just vanished and I am very annoyed

Happened to me a couple of times, because I take them off so often as I only need them for distance, one pair I found a couple of years later in the garden, hanging from a bush. Still expecting to find the second pair when I get round to clearing the garage of its junk.

How in the hell did they end up in a bush?! 🤣 eyeing the ivy growing over my fence

I think I may be able to help...

The other day I went to put a clean duvet cover on the bed and found a small toddler sized sock inside! I know it's only one but I have a lot of duvet covers and lots of missing socks so further investigation is required. 🕵️‍♀️

Why won't my DC (or my DH) replace the loo roll when it's finished, but choose to place the new roll on the unit next to the holder?

A few years ago a father made a video for You Tube to teach his children how to do just this, he thought they take more notice of YT than they do of him!

BobbyBiscuits · 05/03/2024 15:25

@DrunkenKoala The sock thing. This was exactly what I want to know.

I tried to alleviate it by only having black socks. it still doesn't work as I am having one coloured and one black and uneven number of both...

Imalaa · 05/03/2024 15:27

Sleep aid candles….just why?

Lovely idea, nice and calm and snoozy….except I daren't go to sleep incase I burn the house down…

I went to put a pair of thick tights on last week and found a toddler sock scrunched up in the toe. I'd been looking for it for ages! (It was one of his favourites)

Behind the bed, under the bed or behind the bedside table - that's where my reading glasses usually are, although they do sometimes turn up in a pocket.

Edited to add that one Christmas morning they turned up inside one of my son's presents!

I often take them off, put them 'safely' to one side then forget to pick them up, they were once in the arm of the apple tree.

Designers of secondary school wear, do you understand that many of your customers will be an adult women size 12, why is your sizing so off?!?

and also, who decided it was a good idea to make secondary school uniform out of 100% polyester and then insist that sweaty teenagers wear at least two layers of it on even the hottest days?!

I would also like to know where the cheese sandwiches my cat likes to bring home are coming from.

I'd like to know why inanimate objects are such arseholes at times?!

I mean you drop something relatively heavy, say a book, it's got the whole floor to land on, it's whole surface area to land on, even not so painful parts of my foot to land on, if it must, but it invariably lands corner side down on the most delicate bit of my foot.

And why other stuff has to get involved when it's not remotely appropriate? Take a mug out of the cupboard for example and another two have to get involved and launch themselves out of said cupboard resulting in some very undignified juggling and all 3 mugs in danger. They don't learn either.

And why, oh why, is Henry the fucking hoover so smugly smiley all the time despite his abysmal track record of getting stuck on anything and everything within a 5 mile radius, including his own cord? Bastard.

I want to know who the people are who pick up their dog's poo, put it in a poo bag and then fling the poo bag into a hedge or a tree.

Why would anyone do that?!

If you're a poo bag flinger, please explain yourself.

Due to mobility issues I walk my dogs multiple times around short routes by my house. I've had some very odd looks when people see me pick up the dog poo and on my next lap throw the bag on my garden which I pick up on my way in.

There was a thread on this very subject years ago - it's probably in classics. As I recall Henry came in for a lot of abuse.

Why if I step to one side I always get walked into by the phone zombie who when I stepped to one side, (to avoid being walked into) was walking down the middle of the very wide pavement?
