Weird clothes

Ok so people in my apartment building are always leaving things in the stairwell. They leave old furniture, used appliances, and basically anything they don't want anymore but are too lazy to carry down the three flights of stairs to the parking lot. This practice annoys me to no end. It may be standard practice for people to give away their cast-offs, but I'm fairly sure it is NOT proper housekeeping etiquette. Half of the things left are items noone would want. Therefore said items tend to continue littering the hallways and stairs until they attract the attention of the maintenance staff.

This whole issue leads me to the whole point of this post. I noticed the weirdest set of hand-me-downs in the stairwell on Monday. To my great amazement I found a whole set of clothes, right down to the boxers and wife-beater. Also flip-flops. They were not dirty clothes in a heap, but seemingly laundered, folded and placed in a neat pile.

Why in the world would someone have done that? What purpose would there be for this abandoned pile of clothes? My imagination started thinking up possible scenarios. Perhaps someone got caught somewhere naked and called a friend in this building to leave him clothes. No, no, no i thought. If I were caught somewhere with no clothes and had the opportunity to call someone, I would surely have them come get me with the clothes, right?

My first thought was: "Jeez it sure looks like someone just got undressed right here in the third floor stairwell and took the time, while naked to neatly fold and pile the clothes." Wouldn't that be something to see. I thought maybe it was a streaker, but I would think they usually leave the house naked wearing a trench coat, and lose the coat right before the actual streaking.

Anyway, I have no rational explanation for it. Maybe some of you (currently nonexistent) blog followers can think of one.
