Leonard doesn’t like the pants he got from his girlfriend. So, he is ruining them deliberately by using too much fabric softener.
(Season 2, Episode 10: The Vartabedian Conundrum)
Transcript:
Penny: Oh hey.
Leonard: Oh, good. Do you have any fabric softener?
Penny: Yeah, sure. What are you washing? A crocodile?
Leonard: No, the pants that Stephanie got me.
Penny: Oh, sweetie, you can’t machine-wash these. They’ll be ruined.
Leonard: Are you sure?
Penny: Absolutely.
Leonard: Oh, no. I wish you’d told me that sooner.
