Here's an important question that no one asked for.

Which shoe do you put on first left or right?

i'm a lefty and put the left first but it just dawned on me it doesn't make a difference.

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago

I just put them on one at a time. I don't think I've ever even noticed which one first. Will pay attention tomorrow morning.

Always right shoe first. Not even sure the last time I attempted left first but it seems like it would feel wrong!

Left. I've got better balance on the right foot. When it comes to do the right shoe I'll've fully fired up balance software.

Always the left. I like to work from left to right. Same with socks, pants, t-shirts etc. I'm a righty.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago

I’m left then right most of the time.

Usually left I think. I'm right-handed.

If they're shoes with laces, I have an annoying-to-me habit of tying the first in a double knot, then the second one in just a bow. I don't mean to. It's annoying when I'm untying them.

Left first. I'm right handed but trained myself to be ambi with a mouse which is pretty useful. Fairly sure I'm right footed also but the soccer days are long gone.

The real question is whether you put your shoes or your pants on first

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago

Boots then corset!

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Socks before any other item of clothing

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago

Hmmm I think I he bra first more often, but this does change with available laundry

Runners - right and then left shoe

Slip-ons - left then right

Socks - right then left

Am right handed
