Washing Undies

     Yesterday I was using a public restroom when I noticed my panties were on inside out. This is not a common problem, but it has happened often enough for me to recognize a pattern. I think there are three basic responses to that situation that categorize you as a person. Why not?  Facebook says it can divine personalities by color preference, musical taste, toe length, etc. Though I am rarely willing to waste the time to take those tests, I have found the ones I have taken to be wildly inaccurate, unless they say really flattering things, then they are gospel. Or I answer the questions until I get to one where none of the answers would be my response. Those are inaccurate before I even finish them. So here are my personality categories for panty waists.

1)  It won't wash:  This is the Type A response. Inside out underwear are nonnegotiable. These women will take off shoes, pants, (maybe even pantyhose) right there in the public restroom, reverse the panties, redress. Life is good.

2)  Wishy washy:  This is my response. Yes, it really bothers me that my underwear are inside out, but it would bother me more to know someone outside of the stall could see or hear me taking my shoes, pants, (never pantyhose) off while sitting on the toilet. As soon as we got home, however, I stripped, fixed my skivvies and order returned to my world.

3)  It'll all come out in the wash:  This is literally true. Underwear get clean no matter which way we wear them or how they go into the washer. Women like this see the bungled bloomers, but don't consider changing them worth the bother. They go with the flow. I wish I could be like those let it all hang inside out ladies, but my underwear and I are just not designed that way.

    I will probably not submit this personality test to Facebook, even though it meets their criteria of being totally unscientific. Nevertheless, I think it is a good, real world demonstration of basic temperament. It is at least as accurate as the ones where you pick your favorite flowers, or foods, or dog breeds, or paintings or an entire laundry list of variables. A lot of those assessments are total wash outs.
