This was a commercial washing machine in the laundry room of a mobile home park, according to Cathy Hinz, who originally posted the photo on Bored Panda.

Baffled sock owners have been claiming their tumble dryer gobbles odd socks for years, but it’s been dismissed as a popular urban myth.

But, if your appliance has a panel at the bottom, you may be about to be proven right.

Taking to Bored Panda, property manager Cathy Hinz revealed her husband had taken apart a washer dryer which wasn’t working properly in the laundry room of one their blocks of flats.

He started with the bottom panel, which was absolutely stuffed full of odd socks — and even a credit card.

Cathy wrote: “To his shock, this is what he found. Socks, underwear, a credit card … and that is just what was in the bottom of the machine.

“So next time you are missing socks, just remember! That washing machine might just be hungry!”

Of course, home appliances aren’t always to blame for missing socks.

Socks can fall between or behind your washer or dryer, or you can lose the sock before it reaches the laundry room.

As for how socks vanish before they reach the laundry room? That one will remain a mystery for the ages.
