Love Tempo tissues for this very reason. They come out of the machine more or less as they went in. Saved sanity many times when I am sure I have searched all pockets and one sneaks in.

People who think they know everything.
I daren't let Mr Chook near the washing machine - last time I did he put a newish black sock in with a big load of whites - the whole lot turned a horrible 'used to be white look ' patchy grey.

Mr C once phoned me at work to ask how to use the machine. This is a guy who strips engines, gearboxes and such like. We had been married about 20 years at this point. Everybody in the office got worried for me and asked the same question "why does he need to suddenly need to learn machine so urgently".

He has started suggesting he helps me with the machine as I am struggling to sort, load and empty it at the moment. Thankfully he has not actually put the offer into practice enough to ask where the machine is yet. I wish he would start by putting his laundry in the basket but it is only 40 years so far. It may take a bit longer to get him to that stage.

I usually do the tissue thing with black trousers but that is because it is in the trouser pocket and most trousers are black. Do they come in other colours?

There's a lot of anti-sock sentiment in this thread. I protest! And I thank covknit for finding another article of clothing - which I didn't stupidly choose to name myself after - to blame for unpredictable laundry outcomes.

;)

(Hope your day has improved, @carty - I shall post an offensively cheerful song for you and cross my fingers that you smile just a little bit.)

@Oldvatr is just trying to explain away that polka-dot suit he wears because he thinks it looks "natty".

We have a nearly 14 year old Simpson Esprit washing machine that has turned into a Sock Monster, every wash one goes missing it's a good job I only wear black socks so that I can still get a pair.

We check and double check that there is no tissues in pockets but we still get them now and again, a good shake when the washing is dry the bits fly off.
