OK , so yesterday I called Chuck at work to let him know the washer part came , so he could hopefully come home a little early to repair it because he had other appointments yesterday evening , and as I had already established we were getting into a serious crisis of underpants . He came home about an hour early and installed our new timer in less than 30 minutes . We decided to run it through a super short cycle with no clothes just to make sure it was working properly before we through a bunch of clothes in there only to end up with a big sopping wet mess of half - clean duds ( I ' m liking this duds thing , although , maybe next time I 'll try threads . Threads would be cool - it 's so Huggie Bear . )

Question: Why did the narrator need Chuck there ?
To fix something .
