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.

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

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

          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.

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

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

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

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

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