Something strange that I have observed about men and women (this is, of course, an overgeneralization) is that women love to shop for their unmentionables and men hate to shop for their unmentionables.  I’m not sure if it’s some sort of male challenge to see how long their underwear and undershirts will last but I pretty much am always the one that suggests that the husband needs new underwear.

I have a bone to pick with the person who is in charge of ordering underwear at all Wal*Marts and Targets.  There is ALWAYS a ton of XXL, XXXL, M and S sized underwear and usually a drastic lack of L sized underwear.  This is an inventory control issue.  Why haven’t they figured it out yet?

Also, I have noticed that there is an alarming lack of briefs.  There’s always a lot of boxers, boxer briefs, trunks, and even bikini briefs (yikes), but very few packages of briefs.  I have no theory about why this is.  But the husband is extremely loyal to briefs and I’ve cautioned him to maybe start transitioning to something else because it seems like they are phasing briefs out.

I have also observed that the husband generates three times as much laundry as I do.  He wears business casual clothes to work (dry cleaning), gym-clothes during lunch, sometimes gym-clothes at night, and something comfortable to walk around the house in.  That’s a lot of laundry.

Thus concludes this trivial post.
