That thing where you put on a fresh pair of socks and one has a hole so you think well I went to all that trouble to pull it on, this will be your last day little buddy, I’ll just throw it away after I wear it today.
Last chance underwear happen now and again as well but I guess it depends on where the hole is.
Adjust the timescale to days or even weeks, and this isn’t too far off.
“Captain, I have no more shirts left in this basket of wrinkled laundry we did three weeks ago. I’m down to my last pair or underwear.”
“Alright. Let’s do one load, fold it, and never put it away in our drawers.”
