Welcome, citizen of this vast and confusing sock drawer. I'm afraid we have a situation on our hands. It seems that someone, or something, has misplaced 473 of our finest socks. We're not sure how this happened, but we're working on it.
We're doing our best to find the missing socks, but we need your help. Please, for the love of all that is good and fluffy, check your drawers and send back any stray socks you may find.
Remember, every lost sock is a tragedy, but together we can overcome this bureaucratic nightmare.
