Laundry gremlins at it again

I sort my laundry when doing darks and whites (clearly not well enough, though), but each time without fail, no matter how well I’ve checked, when I open the machine, there’s either a rogue black sock in the white wash or a rogue white sock in the dark wash.

I am now convinced that there are laundry gremlins out to get me and that they probably are in cahoots with the team of plastic lid thieves.

Is anyone else being subjected to their endless shenanigans?

YABU: You need to do a better job of sorting your darks and whites.

YANBU: The laundry gremlins are real and it’s their sole purpose in life to mess with our carefully sorted laundry.

Nope you are definitely right, there are
laundry gremlins,
plastic lid gremlins,
Coat hanger gremlins ( tangle them as soon as you put them down )
And worse of all at this time of year
The gremlins that hide the end of the sellotape

They also put tissues in the washing machine after you've checked all the pockets...

It’s worse than that. There is a one legged woman who steals single socks and single stockings while you sleep at night. 😀
