You think this is bad - my mate can't find an entire 10mm French SYW army.

Take the vacuum cleaner, pull a sock halfway over the pipe and vacuum. If its there it will be in the sock.

My parents used to have fluffy carpets.

You learn these sort of things when loing bits on fluffy carpets.

Should mention that you are supposed to tape the part of the sock that's outside the tube to the tube, otherwise the sock just goes straight in 

Kind of related - this was one of my favourite childhood books: [url]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Carpet_People[url]

Once had a dropped figure slip down inside of a trouser pocket. I couldn't have done it even if I'd tried.

Haven't read it but the description seems to suggest a possible explaination of where our little guys go. 
The link was missing a backslash so put one in. 

This just happened yesterday afternoon. I was finishing a command group (three mounted OG figs). Tapping off excess flock (upside down over a trash can) the principle rider came loose from his horse! As the trash can was full, a systematic dig resulted with each piece of trash set aside on wrapping paper - no little guy! SO - in reverse order - started examining each piece as I put it back. Near the end, while unfolding a piece of crumpled paper - he appeared! - and dove (or dived  ) back in to the can!

Repeat above - found him again - set him aside - put trash away. While placing him back on horse - noticed that he had a missing arm!
(Yes he was a modified figure - I assemble with superglue for quick attachment - followed by gel a bit later to get a hard set - most have originally forgot the second step)

Sorry for the long story but I wished to share my trauma 

Reminds me of the old story about the Irish bricklayer writing the note to his boss about why he is missing work.

  Just so!
And the musical version with lovely Lego illustrations:

First time i hear that song, but bloody amusing
