Years ago, whilst on the dole, brassic broke & at the eating bonio's with onion gravy stage I ran out of clean socks and pants on the same day! Now that isnt a problem until the next day when there aren't any clean ones left.
DILEMMA....no socks and go commando......no chance.
I hunted through the used ones & found what appeared to be the cleanest and put them on. It was awful, I felt really dirty but carried on doing this each day until the cheque came through & I could go to the launderette.
To this day I vividly remember wearing dirty or should I say used underwear and yesterdays sweaty socks.....I feel sick now thinking about it.
That is why I am the proud owner of over 500 pairs of socks and 400 pairs of pants.
If a nuclear war breaks out I can still awaken every morning safe in the knowledge that I can wear a clean pair of pants and socks every day for over a year.
So comforting.....ahhhhh
