I can't wear a shirt for more than two days without getting smelly. Antitranspirant helps, but I just got noticeable BO. A week in the same shirt is not happening even if I'm home alone and not leaving the house

    I think they meant that everyday they only wear one shirt for that day. Not the same shirt one day after another

    Read the post again, it's unambiguously the same single shirt for all the days of a week

    No. Maybe grammatically, but that doesn't take into account that the poster is human and that part of the post wasn't the focus of it. People make grammatical mistakes all the time especially if they don't take time to consider what they're saying. I could easily see myself phrasing it this way if I didn't take the time to figure out how to say "each day this week I put on a shirt and did not change it for that day"

    Fair enough, they could have meant something other than what they wrote. I still disagree though - it seems more likely they exaggerated intentionally for dramatic/comedic effect. The joke works better with the straightforward, grammatical interpretation.
