We've all been there, washer is done our clothes, and we are moving them to the dryer in one massive pile, when that one independent sock falls off, and hits the floor.

Now, the question is, is it more logical to assume that if the sock was alive, it would want to stay there? Or would it make more sense that it would want to go in the dryer?

On one hand, the sock might want to stay there, because it is afraid of the burning heat spewed from within the giant steel box, it might also be afraid of shrinking. This sock would be a more independent sock from the one that would want to go back in, this sock wouldn't care about it's other clothes buddies, and would just want to escape.

On the other, it might look at getting dried as a ritual, and if it cannot complete the ritual, it feels as if it has failed. It might also want to go where it's friends are, and not have them abandon it. One could also argue that it hates being soaking wet, and needs to dry itself.

This was bugging me last night when I was washing a load.

'Tis my sock, how'd you know!
 
I would say it wants to be with it's partner sock. Everyone knows that the lonely unpaired sock just gets thrown away anyway. So it wouldn't want to risk having it's partner get thrown away or risk being thrown away itself.

I would think that the sock might want to sit there. Sometimes feeling the accomplishment of getting something done while straying from a tedious task can feel good enough to stop for a while.

Eventually the sock will end up in the dryer and feel satfisfied but when it's ready. Sometimes things happen for a reason.
