My Laundry is Possessed

Seriously, I think my laundry pile has a disorder. It mysteriously grows, multiplies, triplifies...
I'm going to diagnose it as having Amoeba Disease - the pile reproduces all on its own. Hey, new things are discovered every day only mine is in garment form.
Don't even get me started on the whole missing sock issue...I'm still searching for a grey one that disappeared over 4 months ago!
