People in books always seem to skip putting on underwear if they're in a hurry.
I could understand this if it were a life-or-death emergency, like if the house is on fire you'd just grab the nearest thing to cover yourself up and run out the door. But short of such an extreme emergency, why? How long does it really take to put on underwear?
(I'm talking about modern-day books, not historical fiction from a time where women wore complicated undergarments that had to be laced up with the help of a maid....)
