IT'S one of life's biggest myths – but where do your lost socks really go?

Well, baffled sock owners have finally been given the answer – and their minds are blown.


While some of us have spent years blaming the dog, others have claimed the tumble dryer must've gobbled them up.

But, it turns out, there's a very simple answer.

A TikTok user posted a video revealing the secret compartment in a top loading washing machine – and people are joking they owe their dryer an "apology" after years of playing the blame game.

In the clip, a repair man can be seen removing the bottom panel off the washing machine to reveal the compartment is completely stuffed full of odd socks.
