Ask Lemmy

If the floor is wet like at the pool, it's sock shoe sock shoe.

Any other time it's sock sock shoe shoe, because I am not tracking the outside world into my house or bedroom, and the shoes are at the front door.

Ok seriously, what kind of psychopath puts on their socks right before putting on their shoes?

It goes, wake up, eat breakfast, shower, t-shirt socks pants, then you mill about losing precious time, THEN you panic and run into the hallway put on the shoes and go out the door.

What kind of barbarian dystopia are you people living in?!

I'm just barefoot most of the time

I have either a pair of socks or a pair of shoes in my hands. So doing anything else besides sock/sock shoe/shoe would require me to put things down only to pick em up again a second later which would be stupid.

Or I can go shoe/shoe and then sock/sock and watch the whole world burn.

I don't wear socks inside the house. Wear closed toe shoes outside mostly for work (boots), otherwise it's thongs or similar. I put my socks on in the mudroom along with my boots, so its sock/boot, sock/boot.

Sock/sock then shoe/shor because i keep my shoes by the door

Sock/shoe, sock/shoe usually. I never wear socks unless I am putting on shoes to leave the house, so i collect the socks and shoes I'm wearing and put them on all at once right before I leave. Sock/shoe, sock/shoe minimizes the possibility of my socks picking up stray hair/lint/etc and shoving it into my shoes.

Didn't we have this question before? Iirc people threw when to don your pants into the mix and the thread went WILD.

Sandal/sock, sandal/sock.

Sock sock while getting dressed, then moccasin moccasin for puttering around. Then it's shoe shoe with leaving home.

Shoe, sock; shoe, sock, of course.

You all still do socks before shoes like little kids? Uh, ok. /s

Sock/Sock, then shoe/shoe

Feels more symmetrical. Plus, having one foot with a shoe with the other being barefooted feels awkward

Sock, sock shoe, shoe.

Usually because I put my socks on in the bedroom, but my shoes are by the back door: i don't put them on unless I am going outside.

Shoes belong in the entryway. Socks in the bedroom. Socks will always be put on before shoes.

There are a couple of niche situations where one might put socks and shoes on at the same time/place, but the norm of socks first then travelling to the shoes dictates that socks first, shoes after.

The one exception is when for example, changing in a public space, or outside, where you don't want to get your sock dirty, so you put sock then shoe and then sock then shoe

Shoe/shoe then sock/sock so your shoes don't get dirty

Sock/sock and then shoe/shoe, BECAUSE the shoes may not be in the same room as the socks.

How do you like them apples?

Anyone wearing one sock and shoe with one fully naked foot is either deeply deranged or some kind of alien pod person. It is a pale approximation of human behavior. Unless you are stumbling away from a grenade attack or something, there is no reason to ever exist like that, even momentarily.

Wearing shoes around the house is filthy.

Sock/sock, then shoe/shoe, because the shoes are in a different room. Walking around in shoes indoors is a big nono.

Left sock right sock left shoe right shoe

I dont want a shoe and sock on one foot and nothing on the other, how does that not drive you nuts

Socks first, then shoes. Mainly because I put my shoes on at the door and my sox on in the bedroom when I wake up.

Sock, sock, show, shoe.

Sometimes you grab two socks and then one of the socks is wrong. I'm not walking around in one shoe to fix my sock problem.

sock/sock shoe/shoe because I put in my socks in the bedroom but don't put in my shoes until I get to the closet by the front door.

Obviously sock sock, shoe shoe.

Because you grab your pair of socks from the drawer, unroll them, put one on, then you're still holding a second sock... It would be madness to just put down the sock you're already holding.

Finally, shoes, you left them... in some room in the house. Go find them.

Sock shoe, sock shoe, because I have a golden retriever and don't want her fur on my socks.

My shoes stay at the door and never used in the house.

So sock sock first then shoe shoe.

Socks, then shoes. My socks are stored in my bedroom, and my shoes near the entryway of my home. I'm not one of those filthy casuals who wears their shoes inside.

I'm rarely in the position where I put my shoes on at the same time as my socks. Socks go on when I get dressed, shoes go on when I go out, unless maybe I'm camping in a small tent getting dressed rarely coincides with when I go out. I assume this is the case for most people.

Sock/sock, then shoe/shoe. Because I'm not a psychopath...

Those two activities are unrelated to me. sock/sock after the shower, shoe/shoe before leaving the dwelling.

Shoe/shoe.

Take it sleazy.

Sock Sock Shoe Shoe.

because I'm not a fucking lunatic sociopath.

Normal shoes I'll do sock/sock shoe/shoe. For lace up calf length boots I'll do sock/boot sock/boot because it's a whole process and if I don't adjust the sock just right it gets super bunched or overly tight on the toesies.

So, really, it depends on the context.

sock shoe, because that foot is already up in the "operating theatre" so to speak

then the other sock and shoe

one foot at a time

Sock/sock, then shoe/shoe. If you had to RUN FOR YOUR LIFE in the middle of putting on shoes, would you rather have one shoe on or two socks on?

This was on an episode of Archie Bunker.

Socks first. Some days I don't go outside at all but am wearing socks around the house.

That depends on if you are a psychopath or not
