Which is it? An emergency I have to get out the house immediately or an emergency I got time to run around gathering things?

Some people have a bugout kit by the door, which makes it easy to grab some essentials as they depart in a hurry.

I guess it could be your arch enemy who set the fire waiting for you to run out so he could gun you down. Happens all the time (in westerns)

Yes! And in my kit are----SOCKS AND SHOES!

But the point still remains, if you do sock shoe sock shoe and there is a fire you are out there in one bare foot. That is why sock sock shoe shoe is right.

Not to mention it saves time. Suppose the second sock has a hole. The right way you have to just take off the other sock. The wrong way you have to take off a sock and a shoe.

Just one? More than a few people would like to have me out of the way.

Rule #243 A man with a gun will obtain shoes and socks quicker than a man with shoes and socks will get a weapon.

Lol, so now there's a fire and there's time to quibble about having a hole in your sock.

I have been in a fire once. In an apartment building. The fire was a few floors below. Running out the apartment was absolutely the wrong thing to do. The smoke was so thick, I ran right back in and threw wet towels under the door cracks. Depending on the situation you don't want to run outside in a fire.

I can tell you from actual experience no one is thinking or cares about whether they are wearing two socks or one sock or two shoes etc, after they just escaped a fire. Usually it's where are they going to sleep and how bad is the damage. And possibly are loved ones okay if everyone isn't accounted for.

There is no correct order to put on your shoes and socks (except for my four year old who puts his shoes on first and then tries to put on the socks ). Just do what is comfortable for you.

But arguing about what would happen if there is a fire and doing a particular order because of what will probably be a once a lifetime event is ridiculous.

No, putting on a sock and a shoe and a sock and a shoe instead of a sock and a sock and a shoe and a shoe is ridiculous. Start doing it right!

I am doing it right.

I was trying to be gracious.

Is there any real person who actually routinely does sock shoe sock shoe? I find it hard to believe outside of maybe a psych ward somewhere.

I put my socks on in my bedroom, and my shoes on in the little room just outside my garage. Where our shoe rack is. The thought of carrying my socks out there to do a sock shoe sock shoe pattern is bizarre.

ALL the characters from AITF were caricatures. None had any depth to them, nor were they supposed to.

Sock and shoe one foot at a time because if you notice a fire, you skip the sock for the next foot and put on only the shoe to save time.

Archie Bunker would call the cops if the socks were white but the shoes were black.

The thought of keeping my socks and my shoes in separate rooms of the house seems like a weird way to compartmentalize getting dressed. Where do you store your pants? Do you put your underwear on in the bathroom and then your pants on in the living room?

I keep all my clothes together in the same room.

You never know if there's a fire and you have to get dressed real fast

As I see it, if John McClane can take on Hans Gruber barefoot, I can escape a fire barefoot.

That Christmas movie came out 17 years after the All In The Family premier, and 37 years before 2025. 37 years before All In The Family, few people had even seen a television. Our memories of these things are confounded by the fact that it was a very different person experiencing them back then, in a different world.

37 years before All in the Family premiered was 1933 and the first TV was displayed at the Chicago 1933 World's Fair. But it would never make it to people's homes until the 1940s and even then not very many had them because there was nothing to watch.

Don't be silly, he puts his pants on in the garage, duh

Stupid would be carrying out a shoe and sock and not something more important. Sock, sock, shoe, shoe. Keeps you safe.

You can tell this is a male forum because you would never see a discussion like this in a million years on a female forum. They never discuss the truly important subjects like men do.

When I had my German Shepard, I'd often put on my pants in the backyard to avoid being covered in dog hair. I'd brush him at night but he'd grow a new coat overnite. My shoes are near the door as I seldom wear shoes in the house.

Walk with my dirty shoes all through my house into the bedroom? It wouldn’t go well for me….


However…. Once we got a dog it seemed like the ‘take off your shoes rule’ made little sense.

By your reasoning I should buy Skechers to save time for each fire I am in?
