Why would you use a pile out of all data structures, only adding is in ϴ(1), searching is in ϴ(n).

I suggest throwing the clothes on the floor and remembering the spot they landed on. That's ϴ(1) for adding and for searching, far superior to a stack of clothes on a chair.

Side note: fuck big O notation, use big ϴ notation >:(
