ZerodB - Bongos, Bleeps and Basslines by Joe Tunmer

In a sleepy launderette, Ben is driven to distraction by a host of unusual characters - a nagging attendant, an eerily synchronised couple, a jibbering mess of a man, and two rowdy kids firing water pistols. When The Boss' laundry is returned minus one of his lucky socks, Ben is forced into a tumble dryer to find it. There he finds a nightclub where all the odd socks go. He spots the lucky sock on the dancefloor, dances with it, before yanking it away and back to the laundrette. The Boss, delighted, returns Ben's washing, freshly washed and folded. Ben leaves the launderette, bemused.
