Haha! That's how I ended up with so many pairs of underware! The building I live in only has one washer and drier, and you're not allowed to do laundry after 10pm - so it's like a big battle to get the machines. PLUS a few of the units have families with young children living in them - and apparently children create a lot of laundry. There are some people in the building who do laundry Every Fucking Day.

After a couple of times of having to handwash and blowdry my knickers just so I could go to work (because someone else was hogging the machines) I lost my mind and bought a tonne of underware.
