Socks or Trousers?

I realise this is almost certainly a symptom of a serious attack of Spikeitis, but me and the other half have a constant not-very-serious row about whether you should put your socks on before your trousers or vice versa.

So I thought I'd get some other opinions, as at the moment it's one against one, plus the dog, but as he wears neither socks nor trousers he isn't much help, and anyway he just sides with the person with the most Bonios

Definitely put the socks on first. Hate having trousers on without socks. Feels funny. I know that sounds stupid but I need something on my feet first before I put my trousers on

I'm the opposite, I always put my pants on first then my socks, I hate just having socks on, it just feels weird doing it the other way round.

Trousers first.

I usually only put socks on just before leaving the house.

Although, half the time I don't bother with socks at all.

Trousers before socks usually I think, although I don't tuck my trousers INTO my socks (yes, some people in Liverpool actually do that, and not just the ones playing golf!

)

Definitely trousers on first then socks. And likewise when getting undressed, socks off first then trousers. To quote Coupling: 'otherwise you're a naked man in socks' which isn't good!

Although for me none of this is really an issue, cos I only wear socks to go out in. When I get home, first thing I do is take off my shoes and socks. I like my feet to be 'au naturelle'!

I know a joke that goes a bit like that, but I can't post it here

I wear trousers without socks a lot anyway, so when I do wear them I guess I put my socks on last.

Keenangel *Fourteen phonecalls a night??!!*

trousers/jeans on first.. i only put socks on if i'm going out or my feet are freezing cold... Ray is the other way around socks first then trousers.

Green_Amber Duct tape is like the force: It has a dark side, a light side, and it holds the universe together.

Well smart trousers for work I put socks on first coz they are longish socks, so I have to put them on first. My little trainer socks go on just before my trainies though if I'm going 'cas'.

When I get home the socks are the first thing that come off tho!

Samphirette To you I guess I'm just a clown who picks you up each time you're down

Trousers first

I'm another one who tends to put on socks when either leaving the house or my feet are cold

Sange It's only kinky the first time!!! after that it's just the Norm ;o)

Trousers first , only as I really hate having socks on and much prefer to go barefoot as long as possible

Sydney You can lead the whore to culture but you can't make her think!

definately trousers first. I rarely wear socks and when i'm in the house i hate having anything on my feet - i don't even own a pair of slippers

White Hart So long, and thanks for all the fish.

OK, I make that Socks first - 4 1/2, Trousers first - 12 1/2. (The half being Green Amber who sometimes does one, sometimes the other.)

So I definitely have backup when I tell my other half that he's the one who's strange for putting his socks on before his trousers
