i agree . . . this is quite confusing . . . . . . it implies that more socks get lost after the wash and dry. who knows maybe this person eats socks . . . . that or loses a lot of socks.
Though it doesn’t provide a definitive answer, the time line this graph shows is between when the dryer start and when the dryer finishes. So we can only assume an inventory is taken before and after drying which at least narrows down the possible disappearance of the socks to somewhere in the drying process.
Socks can disappear from the washer by going up over the wash basket into the surrounding jacket of water where they stay or go down the drain. I’ve found a wet sock half over the top on its way to oblivion as evidence.
In some dryers, it is possible for a sock to go out the vent. I found a sock in the dryer vent hose once.
Also, the socks can go into other pieces of clothing and not be found until you put them on.
Alas, the mystery is gone! *shoots self* Aagghh! But wait–! Where do they go once they have escaped the dryer vent hose…? Hmm… *plugs hole in self with sock and ponders*
It reminds me of a poem i know:
I found my sock beneath my bed
‘where have you been all week?’ I said
‘Hiding away’ the sock replied
‘Another day on your foot and I would’ve died!’
while true, this graph is short on wit or insight. borderline fail.
forgot to note: this graph doesn’t even answer its own question.
Exactly. It should say something like “Sock Loss Statistics” or simply “Socks.”
“Where do all my socks go?” implies the graph is going to tell you where all those lost socks are.
Wow…did you guys come here today looking for accurate sock statistics? Hate to disappoint ya, but this is a humor site.
bingo
…which actually pushes it over the line into total fail, doesn’t it?
WRONG!!!!!!!!!! its an EPIC fail. how could u not have known that?
Can’t you see? that’s the point…they just vanish….
We could make one about airline food.
Or school cafeteria food.
It’s very tempting to order something (like fries) and say “Excuse me, I ordered fries, not pieces of grease” when you are given the food.
I blame it on sock-eating gnomes.
Would those be related to the “underpants gnomes”?
Profit?
No one knows.
Accurate, but would work better as a bar graph than as a line graph.

Ok….. I was expecting the answer, not just the question….sigh
Now I will never know where my socks go!

Somewhere in a galaxy far, far away, on a lonely little planet populated with beings without feet, they ask:
“Why must God be so cruel? Where do all these socks come from?!”
Funnyish, but this joke has been done to death already…
When I first read it, I thought it said where to my “stocks” go. Which I think actually makes it funnier.
agreed. much funnier. Especially since the dryer has nothing to do with socks, but takes a relatively short amount of time.
Correction: “since the dryer has nothing to do with STOCKS”
Aw man. I just love the image of a dryer eating stock.
Very timely, dryers eating stocks.
To make up for all the BULL-stock
hey’ve had to launder in the past?
This is terrible.

Socks are the larval form of coat hangers. Check your closets.
Socks that don’t make the grade as hangers are recycled into sock puppets.
“Izuzu”.
…dryer eats people! I MEAN sock (people^^)!?>!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
it is the sock gnomes!!!!

I know where my socks go. My cat steals them.
thats what they WANT you to think. really, there is a vortex of doom and evil lawn gnomes steel them. its a proven fact (by me and my best friend)
