It was a gift. Still..um?
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Kinda worse! I mean, barring a wedding shower, how many people do you expect to be giving you lingerie? Like EVER?
Then again, I *might* be a boring old married who no longer understands fun.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am pretty sure that bridal showers, people with whom you enjoy nekkid or funny things between friends who both find them funny are the only times you give undies.
Bras can fall under the scope of Here, Have A Thing.

I like how Cass and meara catch my drift.

In my family bras are totes fair trade. If you happen to have a bra on hand that's the wrong size, you give it to the sister the next size up (or down).
Hrm, that might not work as well with only two in on the trades now.

It's the Y. Strange and harmless things happen. I say that with love. I've had the weirdest conversations in the nude in the locker room. Tonight's craziness had blanked out the possibly-tourette's woman who whooped upon coming out of the sauna and then gave wolf-whistle followed by apology upon entering the main locker room full of women in various states of dress. At some point, you just embrace all our quirks and go with it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Naked gym conversations are...are what gyms are for. I haven't been to the Y since forever, though. My last gym was the painful chichi one in my neighbourhood that had a snow machine at their Christmas party. Those conversations are gym-universal.
I am pretty sure that bridal showers, people with whom you enjoy nekkid or funny things between friends who both find them funny are the only times you give undies.
Not only do I call bras underwear (What? They go under! And how weird is it that I would coordinate bra and underwear? No--I wear matching underwear (which also includes garter belt in scope) Also, I give panties and boxers (and boxer briefs) as gifts, both to family and friends. Complaints have never gotten back to me.
Woke up with my heart racing from something not a nightmare (though some people might call Misha Collins and their sister singing in Spanish with a French accent a nightmare, I just call it likely "Ayudame -you got me-la la la la!") so I need to change my environment a little to calm it down.
