What is the meaning of ‘chairdrobe’?

(J. Laxman, Chennai)

‘Chairdrobe’ is a combination of two words: ‘chair’ and ‘wardrobe’. There are people who are too lazy to put away their clothes in their cupboard. They prefer to leave their washed and unwashed clothes on a chair, instead. The piled up clothes on the chair is called ‘chairdrobe’.
