Do tailors wipe out your socks?

In a mechanical way, it's possible for a tailor to have a sock. So it's possible that socks will come out of the tupan and remain in areas that cannot be seen by the user.

But there is one other thing, and it has nothing to do with mechanicality. The problem lies in your perception.

According to psychologist Simon Moore and statistics expert Geoff Ellis, who have assessed the phenomenon of vanishing socks, the British lose 1.3 socks per month, or 15 a year.

It is 84 million lost socks each month - too many to disappear from laundrymen. So where do they go?

Moore has interviewed 24 people personally and 2,000 others via the Internet. He says that the removal of socks is the result of a cognitive disorder.

These are things that give you the illusion that you're doing something when you're not actually doing it. We found connections between the disappearance of socks and the size of the family. The more people in a house the more responsible they spread.

The one responsible for filling the laundryman expects someone else to empty it. If they notice that a sock is missing, they assume that any other family member will find it”, he said.
