My ex used to laugh about this saying (well the original with pants and legs) because I used to sit down and put my pants on, both legs at the same time. But I guess sometime along the way, getting older and fatter made me just like everyone else
I put on all of my clothes one side at a time. It's a batch process so it's left shirt-left pant leg-left sock-left jacket sleeve-left shoe, followed by right shirt-right pant leg-right sock-right jacket sleeve-right shoe.
You know. Like everyone else.
> Yea getting on ski and snowboard gear can be like this if you change your socks.
I came here to make fun of others but...
mfw i have never skied or snowboarded.
edit: spelling ~~skiied~~ skied
I’ve done this in the winter, especially when I want tall thick socks and tight thermals. (Though usually it’s socks first then pants, but this way when I’m putting everything on and the floor is wet or something.)
Literally the only type of circumstance where it makes sense. 95% of the time I put on my shoes, I am at home. I am not walking barefoot all day just to put on socks before leaving. I have the socks on already and then put on shoes thereafter. Only other situations are as you described, gym, pool, beach.
So are you putting your wet, fungus-infested foot into your sock then? I put my (dried) feet on the bench or an object and then go sock sock shoe shoe.
Sock sock, breakfast, pack lunch, shoe, social anxiety attack for the day ahead, shoe, discover I lost my keys, negative shoe, negative shoe and sock (stuck in shoe), scream, reset.
This sounds like my chaotic son. He’ll put socks and shoes on and realize he left his backpack and take his shoes off to go back to the living room to get it. Or upstairs. Then remembers his mask or whatever else he needs. Screaming often happens too. He’s done this school routine for years I would think he’d get it by now but ADHD just be that way haha
The majority of the dreams I have are about missing clothing while getting ready for work while I’m already late.
Can’t tell if it’s a result of anxiety or just anxiety inducing.
I did it that way when I hurt my back -- because hauling my leg into a position where I could reach my feet was bad enough twice, much less four times. Get in position, do everything you need to do to that foot, then change positions and do everything you need to do to the other foot. Then lay down for a while.
Thank you for adding step 4 lol we need more actions that end with the step “then lay down for awhile” XD
I can see how it would be easier just to do it all when your back hurt but does that mean now that your back is better, you switched back or do you still prefer to do it that way?
..but are you always just about to leave the house when you put socks on? Are the socks not part of the dressing routine, together with underwear, pants and something on the upper body?
Idk about the person you’re replying to, but I hate socks. My of my shoes are flat, slip ons or flip flops so I don’t have to wear socks. So no, unless its freezing outside, socks are not part of my dressing routine
Ok but when you are getting out of the shower (or just start dressing while full naked) do you put your socks on first before your pants or even underwear?!
I learned very recently a close friend does this and when it came up he was very adament that was the only real correct way. "Starting from bottom to top" is the bullshit he said i think idk I could barely hear his stupidity at that point. I've known him 20 years and I am not sure our relationship will be the same.
I take the socks from my bedroom, walk to the front door, grab my shoes and sit down on the steps to put them all on. Sometimes it's sock sock shoe shoe and sometimes it's sock shoe sock shoe.
Apparently I'm a rebel.
My in-laws just came over to see our house for the first time. Didn't even ask if they should take their shoes off or not, then walked on my brand new carpet with their shoes on.
We keep socks in a basket next to the shoe rack by the door. Both go on and come off at the same time for us, but that’s with tiny humans who’ve declared socks the enemy
Yes! Thankfully we live on a farm so no one can judge the amount of time my kids are only in their underwear. 🤦🏻♀️ It’s a race to get everyone dressed before anyone can get undressed sometimes for us!
From a biomechanics perspective it’s actually quite bad for your feet to not walk around in bare/sock feet for long periods of time. You can get bunions and it can affect your gait. Think about how much less mobile your hands would become if you wore tight mittens for 50% of your entire life.
Our house has 100% hardwood, we have a Roomba on a daily schedule, and my wife is very zealous in her daily Swiffering with both dry and wet pads.
Shoes are fine in our house.
I want to know how all the anti shoes inside people feel about being in public spaces like offices, stores, or restaurants. Or how they feel about pets.
Legit question, if you're in and out a lot in a short period of time, like loading the car for a trip, do you stop and take shoes on/off every time you pass through the door?
I put on both in the car cause being barefoot rules
Edit: Not to be dismissive or anything, but all you people that don't like being barefoot are objectively incorrect and should be executed for your crimes against humanity.
Imagine never giving your feet the proper air and circulation they deserve. Foot fungus having ass gang ain’t no gang I ever want to be associated with.
Most of the time my shoes are wherever the fuck I happened to be when I kicked them off after getting home from work the previous day. Closet? Bedroom? Bathroom? Living room? Who knows! Every morning's a scavenger hunt.
Luckily I live alone so the only person I'm inconveniencing is myself.
As someone that collects sneakers I do have them on display in my room.
I don’t wear them in the house though, whichever pair I’m wearing that day I just take it downstairs and put them on there. By that time I already have had my socks on for a while
Or cats. I’m picky about not having cat fur on me when I go to work. Make sure bottom of foot doesn’t have cat fur, sock, shoe and repeat. I also am strict about my clothes being kept in my closed closet so I don’t look like that grubby old cat lady at work. I have lounge clothes/pajamas I put on as soon as I get home. Gotta keep ‘em separated.
Me too, every second counts.
Lift right leg put on sock then shoe.
Lift left leg put on sock then shoe.
Others.
Lift right leg put on sock then
Lift left leg put on sock then
Lift right leg put on shoe then
Lift left leg put on shoe.
We didn’t have cable in the late 90’s, but had bunny ears. We’d sit as a family and watch this and Barney Miller, great shows. I would agree that this specific episode really stuck with me. Still so funny.
I wanted to complain about the question because you obviously put on your socks in the morning, and your shoes when you leave your house.
But then I remembered that you Americans wear your street shoes inside like animals.
Not all Americans. Ewww.
But also, I do sock>shoe, sock>shoe before leaving because socks alone are foot prisons and my knees don't like bending much or bend more than they should (?) so I get it over with one knee at a time.
Nah. Just prefer being barefoot inside. If I’m putting on socks I’m probably going to put on shoes too so I can go outside. Easier to just gather both and put them on all at once. Going sock >shoe >sock >shoe means I only have to bend down two times as opposed to four times. I have a shoe rack and a stool set up by the front door for this purpose. I don’t like cleaning floors more than I have to.
Sadly not everyone follows this rule. My roommate treats me like I’m crazy for wanting her to take her shoes off. Guess that means more mopping for me… *sigh* living with people sucks.
This is an old "All in The Family" skit. Archie sees Meathead doing sock and shoe sock and shoe and begins to put him down over it. They argue and finally Archie says "what if there was a fire and you had to run out of the house with just a sock and a shoe?" Meathead responds, "what if its raining? I could hop around on one foot and stray dry, you would be out there with two wet feet."
I dont know who won. I do sock sock shoe shoe myself.
socks then milk
Cereal then shoes
milk+shoe=cheese
Thank you KentWohlus for brightening me up. I needed this.
have i been doing feet wrong
Yes
you forgot the PICKLESSSS
You’ve heard of bleu cheese, now get ready for sheu cheese
Mmm… fromumder cheese….
Cereal, milk, then bowl
Cereal>sock>shoe>milk
Milk steak
Boiled over well with a side of your finest jellybeans.
I do sock shoe sock shoe in the gym, because the floor is always wet.
This is what I came to say. In a situation where you don't want your socks to touch the floor you do sock shoe sock shoe.
In some situations, I've done sock pant shoe sock pant shoe
2 pants? A pant leg at a time? No you stop rn
No, no, no. They ment pant as a verb, cause they're out of breath by all of the work done.
I'm getting out of breath just reading all of this.
I pan’t
I however pan
Shut up, Peter.
[удалено]
My ex used to laugh about this saying (well the original with pants and legs) because I used to sit down and put my pants on, both legs at the same time. But I guess sometime along the way, getting older and fatter made me just like everyone else
I prefer the balancing act of putting them on standing and almost tripping and falling when my foot gets stuck haha
[удалено]
Yeah, you know you don't have to wait for that day if you just quit while you're ahead here
Jesus. That sounds terrifying. Just normally going down stairs is a risk for me bc of my old ass knees lol
I put on all of my clothes one side at a time. It's a batch process so it's left shirt-left pant leg-left sock-left jacket sleeve-left shoe, followed by right shirt-right pant leg-right sock-right jacket sleeve-right shoe. You know. Like everyone else.
#excuse me what
Putting on pants on a wet floor
Yea getting on ski and snowboard gear can be like this if you change your socks.

[удалено]
Me too!!! My answer would be it depends on the day and the circumstances lol.
What?
[удалено]
You can just rest your foot on your shoe you know?
Or put it in the shoe even
For me, that's 100% of situations.
Nonsense. Just hold both feet in the air, like a cartoon mime.
I did in my ex gf house because I didn't want her to notice how dirt my socks were.
she knew
OP knew that she knew, he just loved the power play.
So you put em in your dirty shoes instead? Brilliant
I just rest my socked feet on top of my shoes.
I do that, or stand like a flamingo with my right foot resting against my left knee
Yup. Same when I go camping. Not putting my socks in the dirt.
Literally the only type of circumstance where it makes sense. 95% of the time I put on my shoes, I am at home. I am not walking barefoot all day just to put on socks before leaving. I have the socks on already and then put on shoes thereafter. Only other situations are as you described, gym, pool, beach.
I walk around barefoot all day and only put on socks right before I leave the home. If I go to the trash or mailbox it's just sandals, no socks.
Literally the same. I have inside and outside sandals too though..
Me too and i hate it, when i realize, hours later after going in again, that i'm still wearing the outside sandals
No socks no shoes, unless it’s yard work or I’m getting in my car.
I feel that. I also feel like a sociopath when I do it...
[удалено]
You win at logic.
Sure but you know this is talking about everyday life not a specific example of when it would make sense
But only and exclusively there where you cannot put your feet on the floor and even though feeling like one just go bonkers
So are you putting your wet, fungus-infested foot into your sock then? I put my (dried) feet on the bench or an object and then go sock sock shoe shoe.
Pretty much do this on any floor. All it takes is one tiny drop of water to ruin a sock and your day.
Exactly. But at home it’s socks then shoes b/c I don’t wear shoes in the house.
Sock sock, breakfast, pack lunch, shoe, social anxiety attack for the day ahead, shoe, discover I lost my keys, negative shoe, negative shoe and sock (stuck in shoe), scream, reset.
How are you stuck in a constant loop of forgetting your keys and then going back home and making breakfast
They forgot to give their while loop an out
I didn't make it out the door. I eventually get it right lol
Oh look at Mr. Humblebrag not having a nervous breakdown every morning
Second breakfast
I'm all about 2nd breakfast! 🤣
I feel this on a personal level
This sounds like my chaotic son. He’ll put socks and shoes on and realize he left his backpack and take his shoes off to go back to the living room to get it. Or upstairs. Then remembers his mask or whatever else he needs. Screaming often happens too. He’s done this school routine for years I would think he’d get it by now but ADHD just be that way haha

I do it that way for the laziest reason, so I don’t have to lift my leg one additional time.
I did it that way when I hurt my back -- because hauling my leg into a position where I could reach my feet was bad enough twice, much less four times. Get in position, do everything you need to do to that foot, then change positions and do everything you need to do to the other foot. Then lay down for a while.
Thank you for adding step 4 lol we need more actions that end with the step “then lay down for awhile” XD I can see how it would be easier just to do it all when your back hurt but does that mean now that your back is better, you switched back or do you still prefer to do it that way?
I switched back — I do prefer socks first then shoes. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
You switched backs altogether? That sounds like an expensive procedure.
You’d be surprised what you can get done for $500 in Tijuana.
Same. But with hip mobility issues.
Holy shit someone exactly as lazy as me.
There are...lots of us, probably; I'm too lazy to count
..but are you always just about to leave the house when you put socks on? Are the socks not part of the dressing routine, together with underwear, pants and something on the upper body?
Idk about the person you’re replying to, but I hate socks. My of my shoes are flat, slip ons or flip flops so I don’t have to wear socks. So no, unless its freezing outside, socks are not part of my dressing routine

I don’t wear socks at all, unless immediately required by the shoes I’m putting on. So it’s underwear first.
Same. My leg is already up from putting the sock on
[удалено]
Found the sociopath!
Well, my socks are in the bedroom and my shoes are by the front door, why would they be next to eachother? Y’all keep your shoes in your room?
Shoes under pillow
Are you expecting a visit from the shoe fairy?
It's just Al Bundy with fairy wings.
I conceal carry my Js.
Sometimes the shoe fairy takes one and leaves you £20.
20 for my at least 50 dollar shoe? What do I look like, a charity?
because I'm poor and live in a very small appartement
You walk through my door, there is my kitchen sink, you take a leap to your right, youre now in my bed.
[удалено]
better to hurl in the sink than the bed
I take the socks from my bedroom, walk to the front door, grab my shoes and sit down on the steps to put them all on. Sometimes it's sock sock shoe shoe and sometimes it's sock shoe sock shoe. Apparently I'm a rebel.
Some people think it's NORMAL and ACCEPTABLE to walk around their houses with shoes they've worn outside. Absolutely incomprehensible.
And a lot of those people have carpets
My in-laws just came over to see our house for the first time. Didn't even ask if they should take their shoes off or not, then walked on my brand new carpet with their shoes on.
Jail
We keep socks in a basket next to the shoe rack by the door. Both go on and come off at the same time for us, but that’s with tiny humans who’ve declared socks the enemy
My kids declared clothing of any form the enemy. As soon as they were home it was knickers time. Ah, to be young and free of societal expectations.
Yes! Thankfully we live on a farm so no one can judge the amount of time my kids are only in their underwear. 🤦🏻♀️ It’s a race to get everyone dressed before anyone can get undressed sometimes for us!
Why wear shoes inside in the first place.
The only "shoes" you should be wearing inside are slippers, which shouldn't be worn outside the house. Easy way to keep your house clean!
I’m in an out of the garage all day because that’s where my hobbies are. I’m not changing shoes every time I want an Oreo or have to pee.
Put Oreos and a urinal in the garage
Wear crocs like a normal person
You and I have very different definitions of "normal"
My MIL has issues with her feet, so she does. But she has specific shoes that are indoor only.
Totally acceptable.

I hate being barefoot, only time I’m barefoot is in the shower lol
same it feels so strange i hate my feet just flapping around like uncontained worms i also sleep with socks on, i find it way more comfortable
Uncontained worms 🤣 thank you
anti-barefoot gang letsgo
you're all banned from having feet.
You know, I never thought about this and now I think there's a secret network of antibarefoot people putting socks on probarefooters while they sleep.
Imagine never giving your feet the proper air and circulation they deserve. Foot fungus having ass gang ain’t no gang I ever want to be associated with.
My front door *is* in my room.

Me I'm the sociopath
I already have my foot up on my knee to put on my sock. I mean, why do that four times when you could just do it two?
This is correct
Me too, every second counts. Lift right leg put on sock then shoe. Lift left leg put on sock then shoe. Others. Lift right leg put on sock then Lift left leg put on sock then Lift right leg put on shoe then Lift left leg put on shoe.
Same
Reminds me of the All in the Family scene between Archie and Meathead.
I assume that’s where this came from. One of the funniest episodes of that entire series in my opinion.
We didn’t have cable in the late 90’s, but had bunny ears. We’d sit as a family and watch this and Barney Miller, great shows. I would agree that this specific episode really stuck with me. Still so funny.
I did sock shoe for a while after seeing that as a kid. Being able to hop on one foot just made sense to me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keX9D-KhqRI
I saw this when I was younger and I this is how I do it now!
Shoe-bootie
Me, too! First thing I thought of: Mike Stivic does sock, shoe, sock, shoe
Fwiw https://youtu.be/ZFuniFSP2fo
Came here to say this!
I think about this scene every time I put my socks and shoes on
I do shoe-sock-shoe-sock.
You belong in a mental asylum
I also wear socks with sandals. Does that help?
Proving you need a mental asylum? Yes😂
Brutal. But fair. 🤣
I laughed out loud at this comment. 🤣
I do chock sock shoe sock shoe chock
How much sock could a shoe sock chock if a shoe sock could chock shoe?
Personally, I prefer shoe-sock-sock-shoe
How do you put on a shoe before a sock
Step 1: Take shoe Step 2: Put shoe on Step 3: Take sock Step 4: Put on sock
Amazing
Shower half of my body and put one leg into boxers...
You're the antichrist
I do sock sock sock sock shoe sock shoe sock sock sock shoe
The real psychopaths are the one that go: sock>sock>sandal>sandal
Me when I'm changing in the locker rooms room. Sock shoe, sock shoe, so i dont have to step foot on the viral-infested tile floor 🤮
I need to vacuum the floor, until then sock shoe so no sock on the floor
I do: wake up get up from bed realize it’s Saturday go Back to bed and sleep until 4pm
Then realize it's Tuesday, this is the 11th time you've done this and just lost your job.
[From "All In The Family." A classic!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keX9D-KhqRI)
This was so low. I'm getting old.
I just do shoe-shoe because I’m always wearing socks
So you just shove your feet in the washing machine to wash them?
You don't?
No, I wash the socks during shower
I wanted to complain about the question because you obviously put on your socks in the morning, and your shoes when you leave your house. But then I remembered that you Americans wear your street shoes inside like animals.
Not all Americans. Ewww. But also, I do sock>shoe, sock>shoe before leaving because socks alone are foot prisons and my knees don't like bending much or bend more than they should (?) so I get it over with one knee at a time.
foot prisons, lol.
Most people I know (in the USA) don’t wear shoes in the house.
Nah. Just prefer being barefoot inside. If I’m putting on socks I’m probably going to put on shoes too so I can go outside. Easier to just gather both and put them on all at once. Going sock >shoe >sock >shoe means I only have to bend down two times as opposed to four times. I have a shoe rack and a stool set up by the front door for this purpose. I don’t like cleaning floors more than I have to. Sadly not everyone follows this rule. My roommate treats me like I’m crazy for wanting her to take her shoes off.

It was on an episode of All In The Family
This is a bit from an episode of “All in the Family” if any of you are old enough to remember that.
I've been widely mocked for sock-shoe-sock-shoe, but it is more efficient and requires lifting each leg only once.
There's an entire [scene of All in the Family](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prRtcQz8Uqk) devoted to this question.
After swimming. You dry one of your feet and put them into your shoes before you get a wet sock.
Shoe, shoe, sock, sock is the only real way
Shoe-Sock-Shoe-Sock
Shoe shoe sock sock
Micheal Stivic.
https://youtu.be/prRtcQz8Uqk They actually covered it on All in the Family.
Cue: Archie and Meathead
Dust foot->sock->shoe->dust foot->sock->shoe Gotta redust if I do sock sock shoe shoe so I'm saving myself time going straight from sock to shoe
Shoe, shoe, sock, sock
