We are cavemen. We stock up on stuff and once we make a decision, we don’t want to bother with it again..... ever.
My Bride and I are approaching our 38th year together. Many years ago, bless her heart, she made the mistake of trying to toss a few old clothing items, ‘once’... she wont do that again, that’s sacred ground.
Leave my stuff alone...heck, I might have plans for that old stuff, and even if I don’t, I might come up with one. ;>)
I informed her that when it comes to my stuff, she only needs to get concerned if she finds that I am buying my own new underwear.... if that happens, be afraid, be very afraid.
They really should put tread wear indicators on mens underwear. They never die it seems.
I buy new once a year at least. Not because the old ones are falling apart.
