Measurements of Laundry

I always measure when laundry needs to be done based on my clean sock count.

Unanimously, this is my yardstick for determining laundry timeframes.

This used to be different.  I used to determine it by t-shirts, but after accumulating many more t-shirts, socks has become the new measurement.

How do you measure laundry times?  By day, week, month?  By shirts, socks, pants, underwear, towels?  By smell, stench, odor, favorite outfits?  By glares, stares, and chores?

I have found socks to be the most reliable and helpful measurement.
