So, do you do this, such as stripping down to underwear or naked or wearing pajamas if you want to be posh. I am just curious, since I don’t bother at all, infact sometimes I wear the same clothes for many days without ever taking them off. I don’t really see the point, since that stay clean and I just can’t be bothered all that much. It’s funny because up to a a few years ago I used to hate wearing the same clothes more than a day at all, and used to always wear some sort of bed clothes. ---

I don’t really see the point, since that stay clean and I just can’t be bothered all that much. If you can’t be bothered to change your clothes for days at a time, you’re depressed. You need to get help. This isn’t about what other people do and you know it, because you already know that people don’t wear the same clothes for days at a time. This is a cry for help - go get it. ---

You know, I’ve probably crashed in the same sleep pants, t-shirt, underwear and socks for a few days if I’m feeling deathly ill, but otherwise, WTF? ---

I don’t even take my clothes off when I wash them. That way I don’t have to shower. If I do shower, I find that I can combine washing my vegetables at the same time. I even had a garbage disposal installed in my shower drain. Salad for dinner tonight, guys!! ---

I guess if you turn the underwear inside out, it’s good for another day. ---

If you ever do take your underpants off, it’s easy to remember how to put them back on-- brown side on the back, yellow side on the front. ---

I really enjoyed the suggestion that those of us who wear pajamas are “posh.” I feel like I should go out and buy an Aston Martin. ---

My cat never changes his clothes. He sleeps in them. He eats in them. He plays in them. Fortunately, he does clean them daily. Sometimes more than once. ---

As a kid, I wore jammies. Then I turned 18, and said hell with it, and sleep nakies. The feeling of freedom was wonderful! Now, the very few times I fall asleep clothed, I feel hampered and trammeled and hogtied. ---

> [@dude\_robert](#): > > I am just curious, since I don’t bother at all, infact sometimes I wear the same clothes for many days without ever taking them off. I am just curious as to how you spend your waking hours during these many days of not changing your clothes. Do you engage with the real world at all? I’m positive you don’t work and you don’t have a girlfriend (or boyfriend) and that you don’t have much in the way of hobbies or activities you enjoy. So how do you fill your days? ---
