The Power of Pants compels you!
Well, okay, I don’t really wear pants much. Especially in this climate, it may not get cold enough to warrant pants this year. I’m serious. I’m THAT guy that wears cargo shorts and flip-flops all year long. I’d rather pop on a hoodie than submit to the Power of Pants.
Serious query: How often do you wash your pants? I’m painfully aware that I’m an outlier on this one.
I have one pair of cargo shorts.
One.
Just one.
One shorts to rule them all.
Oh sure, I have half a dozen gym shorts. Those HAVE to be washed. They get soaked in all my naughty TimmySweat. I’m all for au natural, but I also submit to basic hygiene.
And yes, I do wear pants for workies. But, that’s separate. And I have two pajama pants. (One is heavier than the other.)
But my shorts? I’m doing some laundry (towels) and it occurred to me that I haven’t washed my shorts this month. I’m not sure I washed them last month. I follow the soft “wait until there is a stain” rule of thumb.
Now, I’m not a complete slob, just a partial one. If I’m gymming and working the same day, I can equip 3 separate TimmyKnickers. Socks immediately go into a pile after one use. Shirts may get a day or three. If I only wear a shirt for a few hours, what the hell is the point of tossing it in the laundry pile?
I guess the obvious question is: why do you need more than one pair of shorts?
At least, I have no need for more than one. Changing over my wallet and other pocket supplies annoys me.
Though, I will note I have some nice cords I forget I own, some sweatpants I forget are there…
Oh, a note about towels. Why wash them after a single use? Especially if you’re just drying your hair. (Hair like mine, using two towels is useful.) At the very least, I can reuse a towel by making it the next shower’s floor-towel. Gosh, maybe I am a little neurotic in my neatness, ha ha. But seriously, there is nothing worse than stepping in water when you’re wearing socks.
Also. Washing your pants/shorts less often means they’ll last longer. Less money spent on pants means more money to spend on tacos.
PS: While I don’t have a current official count, last time I counted knickers (bikini briefs, thongs, g-strings, etc) the sum was over 70.

That isn’t a taco. 🥸 🌮
Taco Bell has a disturbing tendency to take some rather extreme poetic license with such… Items.
I have six pairs of cargo shorts, for the record.

That's nacho problem. Don't lettuce discuss this.
But, the CGC is also NOT a sandwich. Don't make me pull up a graphic of how the shape of bread determines what it is. (I believe this was to prove that a hot dog is technically a taco.)
