Problem: Socks are a Sisyphean task
In the never-ending battle to keep your socks from disappearing in the wash, you've encountered the dreaded Sock-Sucking Vortex.
As you stand there, staring at the abyss of missing socks, you wonder: "Will I ever see my favorite striped ones again?"
We've minimalistized the problem, so you can better understand the Sock-Sucking Vortex:
