Which Way?

[Pam]

Pam, do you know how your daughter hangs her clothes? Just curious if it's the same way as you do since I do it the opposite of my mother.

Debbie, I have seen her closet and there is no rhyme or reason to it! (Sorry Robyn!) I guess my *anal* gene did not pass along. LOL!

[k9krazee]

I have no idea

Its funny you mention this because since my brother died I have been going through his things and he was a widow so I know it was him hanging his clothes.

I couldn't get over the fact that he hung his clothes facing the right. So many questions you would like to ask another person after they die, that is kind of silly but it bugged me the day I went in his room.

By the way I hang mine with the front facing the left...is there really any other way

[cyber-sibes]

ROTFLMAO! Phred, you're too much! What a scene!

I've gotten a little obsessive about hanging my clothes, since I started working in a clothing store! Now all mine are organized by fabric & sleeve length, all hang with the front facing left, and I "fluff" the sleeves to overlap, just like we do at the store.
My husband hangs his "backwards" - they mostly face right. drives me nuts.

I never noticed how I hung my clothes, but now that I looked most face to the left.

I really needed to check TWO choices:

#1 = You're supposed to HANG clothes?
(Clothes need to spend severl days in the Laundry Basket after drying to properly *wrinkle*
and
#2 = When they do get hung, ALL the fronts face Left -
INCLUDING all Jackets and zipper / button front upper body items.

Guy's PANTS must hang differently - instead of left / right it's more like
Zipper faces into the closet or faces out of the closet on a pants hanger -
with feet UP and belt loops DOWN.

However, if on a regular hanger - we have an additional choice ...
Top end left / feet end right -or- Top end right / feet end left --- in addition to
the Zipper orientation of In / Out ...
Giving PANTS up to FOUR hanging directions.

Hey Deb ~

Here's ideas for your Next Polls ...

When Getting Dressed:

1) Which ARM goes into a shirt, blouse, or jacket FIRST? Left or Right?
and - does it MATTER to you?

ME? - ALWAYS RIGHT arm in First --- I can't DO it left arm in first!

2) Which LEG goes into a pair of Pants FIRST?
and - can you do it with the "other leg" first without loosing you balance?

I never knew how *important* inserting LEFT leg first was till I tried putting my
Fire Department Bunker Pants on "backwards" one day in the Station.
I had both feet in the boots and started to pull up the pants when...
NUTZ!
The left side suspender had flopped between my legs ...
I took out the LEFT foot & leg - as if I'd started with the right foot & leg in first ...
cleared the suspender problem,
then tried to re-insert the LEFT foot & leg into the pants & boot ...
and promptly FELL OVER on the floor beside the engine!

Thought the smart-butt kid driving was gonna fall out his door he was *laffin* so hard!

3) And do another one -
Which SOCK goes on first ...
and which SHOE goes on first??

ME? ALWAY the Left sock first; and shoes the same - Left first - always.

[Catty1]

I don't have rods in my closet - it's one of those things where the hanger hooks can only go in one direction. So everything wound up LEFT.

This topic reminds me of a Gary Larsen Far Side cartoon where we see this fellow sitting on the side of his bed and looking at a huge sign on the wall which says:

"FIRST your pants! THENNNNN your shoes!!"
