Scientists have finally figured out why we lose our socks in the laundry, and it has nothing to do with a thief who ransacks your laundry basket.

Apparently, it has to do with how many people live in the household, times and frequency of washes and whether you separate your laundry into whites, darks and different temperatures to wash your clothing in.

But it doesn’t stop there. You have to factor in the clothing washer’s attitude.

That got complicated fast.
