vladykins @ 30/10/2017 12:38 Mercator @ 30/10/2017 14:34 Usually it's socks before pants, but it doesn't really matter. The only constant is that I put my underwear on first. That's because you aren't a super hero. Clearly you're not one of us, we use two pairs!

I'm Marvel universe, so we just wear spandex, no underwear.

The correct formula for a successful dressing

Underwear
Socks
Under Shirt
Pants
Belt (If top shirt Untucked)
Top Shirt
Belt (If top shirt Tucked)
Shoes

the real question is which do you take off first?

big shout-out to all those guys who strut around wearing only dress socks for leaving all the ladies to the rest of us

Shirt usually.

Shoes when I go inside

Even at work after I've taken the post-bikeride shower, it's underwear, socks, shirt, then pants. If you put your pants on before shirt, you have to tuck in you shirt and you end up having to open your pants up again anyway for that. And the longer you walk around a lockerroom in bare feet, the more likely you are to get something gross from someone else's feet, because dudes are nasty about shit. So socks become even more of a priority before pants.

So you'd rather get the wet gross stuff on your socks instead. Got it.

The locker room is proof that it's pants then socks, because you put your pants on, sit down, dry your feet off (i.e. remove gross stuff), then immediately put socks and shoes on, so that you don't get your socks wet/gross.

wet socks are the worst

1) If you are stepping in water with your socks, then you are doing it totally wrong.

2) You sit on your towel and put on your socks.

Hell, based on number 1, you are walking around in wet with bare feet? You are asking for some dude's foot fungus then.

That's what shower shoes are for.

Step 1. Shower to locker = bare feet + shower shoes

Step 2. At locker: finish drying off, put on clothes, sit on bench, remove shower shoes, finish drying feet, put on socks then shoes.

Step 3. Eat hot dog sandwich

Step 4. ???

Step 5. Profit

1. Underwear
2. Silver Chain
2b. Stare at self in mirror
3. Pants
4. Shirt - usually no tuck
5. Handkerchief
5b. Handkerchief #2 for summer days
5c. Jacket for winter days
6. Socks
7. Watch (if applicable)

You still have to pull up your pants to put on your socks.

More efficient to:

1) shower to sauna to pick up shirt that is steaming the wrinkles out in there to locker = bare feet + flip flops/shower shoes

2) towel off, pull on undies, sit on towel, take off shower shoes and dry feet off with end of towel you are sitting on, put on socks, try not to look at old guy who is just wandering around lockerroom with his wrinkly figs all hanging out, stand up in dry spot, put on shirt that is not wrinkled (see step 1 above), pull pants up over socks and over shirt, leaving shirt auto-tucked in when you zip your pants, realize you forgot to put on deodorant, so now you don't want to untuck your pants, so you unbutton a few buttons of your shirt and try to maneuver the deodorant in without touching another part of the shirt so you don't leave a weird white streak on your dark clothing, slip on shoes, grab glasses off of sink, throw towel in towel hamper thingee, and leave.

3) Purchase hot dog sandwich from sidewalk vendor. Get chilli/cheese on there, but not onion, because you have a meeting at 2:00 and nobody will want you to talk to them.

4) Find that toothbrush that's been bumping around in your top drawer for awhile and brush your teeth in the bathroom while some guy is at the urinal drinking coffee and you are just sitting there wondering "WTF is he drinking coffee in here?" fully realizing that you are brushing your teeth in the mens room and that is almost as gross.

5) Profit?

Everyone who has seen Flight of the Conchords knows you leave your socks on when you hop into bed because that's why they are called business socks.
