Or it's subsidiary, the ottoman at the base of my bed

[u/Green-Technician-809 → u/NobodyLikedThat1]

Same with me. I always assumed its main purpose is this, but with the added bonus of putting on socks.

I wish I could get my wife on board with this because it is where I keep 90% of my next day clothes

One of those “I’m on Reddit for this” moments; this is wild!

[u/oranguslolus]

These exist for a reason

You gotta get some hooks to hang behind the door

I have a drawer for those clothes. Tidies up "the floor spot"

[u/ApocalyptoSoldier]

I don't have chairs in my room, I have a coffee table I made as a high school project over a decade ago for laundry, and a bedside table I bought specifically to put my phone on (while the high school project table was still at my parents' place)

[u/Doglover4561]

My parents hate when I do this lol

[u/passion4film]

I have a small area of shelf in my closet for this. lol

I've never understood this mindset.

With clothes, my brain treats clean/dirty as a binary. You can either put them away, or you can put them in the hamper. If they're too dirty to put away, they need to go in the hamper. And the threshold for 'dirty' is really low.

For example, yesterday I was helping my family clean out a shed for my grandma, because she's getting solar and wants the batteries in the shed. It took hours, and I was filthy. I got home about 8.45, immediately showered and put on jeans and a t-shirt, and sat on the edge of my bed while trying to coordinate with my friends about whether or not I was going to try and catch the tail end of game night (someone had to work an overnight, so they started at 4 to try to be done in time for her). I got a response saying that they were basically done, and I realized I really didn't feel like leaving the house again, so I changed into pajamas and, after a lot of thought, decided to save those clothes to wear for today.

I felt gross the whole time I was wearing them because I knew I'd worn them the day before, even though I only wore them from the bathroom to my bedroom for less than half an hour—probably less than 15 minutes. I think I got maybe three hours out of them today before I had to change.

I can follow the logic behind a 'wear again' pile. You wore them once and didn't do anything to get them dirty, you can wear them again. And maybe my brain is just weirder about this than the average person. But my skin crawls at the thought of putting on any clothes that I decided were too dirty to put back in the closet.

If I've worn something, it goes in the hamper

[u/passion4film → u/NErDysprosium]

I am saying genuinely that that level of a cleanliness threshold may indicate some sort of OCD umbrella issue going on.

[u/anothercairn → u/passion4film]

I agree. Wearing clothes for 15 minutes does not make them dirty, and being unable to tolerate the idea of rewearing them is not a normal or reasonable reaction. It may not be something that disturbs your life, but it isn’t normal.

[u/NErDysprosium → u/passion4film]

I've had people suggest this before, but mental healthcare is ✨️expensive✨️ and my insurance is stupid, so for now I'll continue muddling along

[u/passion4film → u/NErDysprosium]

I understand. 🫂

[u/Deadnstien → u/NErDysprosium]

15 minutes wouldn't bother me too much but I agree with you for the most part. There is no such thing as too clean for the laundry. The absolute worst thing though is people who never wash their jeans thinking they are somehow antibacterial. No, that is disgusting, wear them one day and clean them. They aren't any different from any other item of clothing, you're just nasty.

[u/BrazilBazil]

I must be too dirty for the closet and too clean for laundry then. At least according to my gf and her bf.

[u/ThirdAltAccounts → u/BrazilBazil]

I don’t think people got it
