Other people's underwear

@@@ not my undies, but I would like them to be!
I've heard some kind of saying, at some point in my life, that it isn't good to hang your dirty laundry out for people to see. Why you would be hanging dirty laundry is beyond me, but it should to double for underwear. Since we live in a village, where everyone knows if and when I sneeze, I always wonder about hanging my undies out to dry, especially the really small cute ones! So, the small cute ones get hung over the heaters, and the other ones get hung towards the middle of the drying rack so they are hidden by various t-shirts, jeans, and non-eye-raising clothing. -oh, in case you were wondering, we don't have a dryer, so everything is hung to dry, and Dan says that since there isn't that much to them, the small, cute undies just need to be swung around in the air a few times and they're dry! not true, there's a little more to them than that- anyhow, we constantly have guests at our house, and this last week, I had to do some laundry for them. And, I have to admit there is something a little widgy about hanging other people's underwear up to dry. There's something very widgy about hanging out other males' underwear. Yeah, I know, they just went through the washing machine, but, still... So, it gets me thinking, "What is it that makes me so weirded out by this? I mean, everyone wears them (and if they don't, I don't even want to think about it), and normally these people are extra clean, so what's the big deal?" There are a number of reasons that are jumping around in my head. Maybe it's because I would feel really funny if any of the people whose underwear I am handling and hanging were handling, and hanging my underwear. Or, maybe I feel almost like a perv. For goodness sakes, I am touching someone's underwear other than my family's; of course, I'm trying to touch them as little as possible and have considered using clothespins to pick them up with and hang them (I know, getting a little obsessive!), but they are still the underwear of a person that I have only met six days before! It gets a little weird, but some things that I have learned from hanging up other people's underwear is that: I need to go through my underwear and take out all of the ones with holes in them, just in case someone else had to wash them for me ~ I don't own granny panties! Never have, and trust me, never will. Even the big, saggy, gray ones that go almost up to my belly button aren't grannies (I would have taken a picture of some real grannies, but I thought that would be betraying a confidence or something!!) ~ it's amazing how the type of underwear tells so much about a person! What's you underwear say about you?
