Yeah, because my wife and I are pieces of shit and put off laundry until I have no other option.

“Thirty seconds to impact!”
“Captain, if we don’t begin laundry now we won’t have time to fold. We could lose the entire load”
“Acknowledged, Lieutenant Worf”
“Shall I order Engineering to begin loading the machines?”
“Twenty seconds to impact!”
“Negative. Data are you still hailing them?”
“No response, sir”
“Worf. Detergent”
“Yes, sir” [his hands fly across the controls] “Pod is loaded”
“Commence laundry on my mark”
“Ten seconds to impact!”
“Awaiting your order sir”
“Hold, Lieutenant”
“Sir …”
“…”
“Five seconds!”
“now”
Adjust the timescale to days or even weeks, and this isn't too far off.
"Captain, I have no more shirts left in this basket of wrinkled laundry we did three weeks ago. I'm down to my last pair or underwear."
"Alright. Let's do one load, fold it, and never put it away in our drawers."
I just check for sock holes as I take them off.
Wait what's the trouble you're experienceing trying to pull a sock?
Um…first, finding a matching one. If you’re just out of the shower maybe pulling it on is a pain. Maybe it catches on a sharp toenail. I’m exhausted.
I do that routine of keeping worn out clothes and I'll wear the whole set to get dirty/muddy/damaged/radioactive/whatever. I'll go ahead and get the crap clothes all dirty and sweaty, then just chuck 'em.
Or, I have been known to cut worn out T-shirts into rags, and I've scrubbed the bathtub with worn out socks.
Depends on whether the socks are paired up. If I grab a pair, I feel like I’m committed so this is their last chance (assuming I remember at the end of the day). If a sock was just thrown in the drawer and I still need to search for a pair, it goes immediately
My finished socks get a viking type sendoff but without the boat (yeah i just burn them lmao fire funy)
