I'm old enough to know that I should put them on 1 leg at a time, but I never got out of the habit.

Do you... just hold them up and jump in?

[-] ItsAFake@lemmus.org 14 points 7 months ago

I prefer the baseball slide technique myself.

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago

I usually sit on the edge of the bed and pull them up over my legs.

"Gentlemen, I put my pants on like you: one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on I make gold records."

I know it isn't his, but this really sounds like something a Matt Berry character would say.

Christopher Walken, SNL cowbell skit.

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Exactly my thought

[-] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 7 months ago

I generally put them on with my hands and arms rather than my legs

[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 19 points 7 months ago

How would you even do that, two at a time?

[-] DichotoDeezNutz@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

I sit on my bed, and pull them up like halfway then do each leg

[-] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 20 points 7 months ago

You can also set the pants on the floor, step into them, then pull them up

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 27 points 7 months ago

You can also jump into them and pull up quickly if you want them to catch on you foot and fall over into the dresser.

[-] PrefersAwkward@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Technology never ceases to amaze me. It's crazy to think about what ancient people must've had to do to get pants on

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

I don't want my pants touching the floor, I'm with team bed on this one.

[-] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

You could put a clean towel on the floor to make sure you don’t catch dangerous floor diseases.

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

This is why it's important that you always know where your towel is.

[-] kakes@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah I do that.

[-] howrar@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 months ago

What do you mean that you should do it one leg at a time? The end result is the same.

[-] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

Same, the saying always confused me

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 17 points 7 months ago

I should put them on 1 leg at a time

Who said so? The Pants Police?

Sometimes I sit on the bed, raise my legs and put on both legs at the same time.

[-] ClusterBomb@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 7 months ago

Idk how you do guys, but I just make turns quickly on myself and I am fully dressed. The only part I can never remove is that green diamond-shaped thing above my head. If you know how to remove that, tell me.

[-] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 10 points 7 months ago

Hell yeah! If you’re in a hurry, you can do this as one fluid movement with a bed or similar surface. Other grown-ups might consider it undignified-looking to treat a mattress like a bouncy castle, but they can suck a lemon!

In case you haven’t tried this, here are the steps:

  1. Hold the pants in front of you like usual and fall backwards into the bed
  2. Use the momentum to rock backward with enough force to lift your hips briefly
  3. While hips are raised, kick through the pant legs while pulling the waist up as far as possible before your hips return to the bed
  4. As you roll forward, use the momentum to bring yourself back up off the bed
  5. Once returned to standing position, pull waist the rest of the way if necessary and proceed as usual

Occasionally, when I wanna spice things up. Not under normal circumstances tho

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

What exactly are you slicing up when you put your pants on??? 😰

[-] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 7 months ago

I try to pop my dick in a guilotine. You should try it if you got a spare!

As they say, "To achieve true success, a common man must have no less than one guillotine for each of their dicks"

[-] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

That’s what happens if you’re not careful with the zipper and free ballin’.

[-] dgmib@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I totally do. Have since I was a child.

As a kid I would sorta step into pants so they were on my feet, jump and then pull them all the way up in mid air.

Now I just sit on the edge of the bed, pull pants up far enough that my feet through then stand up and pull them over my butt.

Never really understood the expression about how we all put our pants on one leg at a time.

[-] renrenPDX@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

They mean you put one leg in, then the other one. One would then pull up the pants.

[-] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Depends how much of a slob I've been. If they're on the floor, you can just walk both your feet in then pull them up. Maybe do a little hop if they get twisted up.

[-] Chefdano3@lemm.ee 5 points 7 months ago

I did it once, to prove a point.

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Usually, yes: 1 leg at a time seems like an awkward waste of time.

[-] Mrderisant@midwest.social 3 points 7 months ago

Only when my back injury is acting up.

[-] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

If I'm sitting, all the time.
