The following question was presented:
I'm trying to figure out if this just happens to me or if everyone suffers the same problem. It can happen either on the way to the washing machine or on the way back from the dryer. You scoop all your clothes up in a ball and start walking. A sock falls to the floor. You contemplate whether to complete your journey and come back for the sock, but decide you can manage the ball with one hand and snag the stray sock. You bend over, grab the sock and just as you're straightening up, another sock falls to the floor. And the cycle repeats until either you manage to get everything into your arms or the underpants join in the game and you have to admit defeat. Have you ever done the sock dance when moving washing around the house?

Analysis:
I'm actually genuinely happy to hear that this is not just me. I was wondering if it was because socks were ablists (people who dislike disabled people to save you googling). I didn't know if they were just picking on me to see if they could make me fall over as I try to swoop down and collect them up. The interesting thing is the break point though. Pick one sock up and one falls on the floor, it's a challenge to see if you can get it back. But there's a threshold when the number of things fall on the floor and you're like just not going to play that game. As I noted in the question, it's normally when the underpants try to get in on the action that I give up.
