Do I really have to remind everyone that I know for a fact I put all of my socks in the dryer.
Is this a true statement or not? How do you know that you put all your socks in the dryer?
Because I always check that each sock goes into the dryer beforehand.
You are very thorough! It's fine that you check your socks when you put them in the drier. That way you always have both socks in the pair dry at the same time.
I work on the assumption that if a sock is not in my hand, it is in the dryer.
If your washed socks need drying then it is only right to put them in the dryer if you own one. That way they will be ready for you faster and you can fold them sooner. Everyone does this too.
