how loving stupid do you have to be to not realize you can put on BOTH legs at the same time. i've probably gained hours of time in my life because of this that i've been able to fruitfully squander on masturbation and video games.

Most people don’t.

But if you went to a proper finishing school you’d know why people switch hands.

To do that you have to jump into the pants or be sitting down or perching or hanging on something. If you do it one leg at a time you can do it while standing. Did you factor in the sitting down and sitting up time in your speed records?

Do they still count as pants legs if you put them on your arms?

Anyway I prefer to put my pants on one leg at a time but take them off both at once

is putting your pants on one leg at a time supposed to be some sort of humbling joke? I know the expression but I just started thinking about it and I have never put my pants on one leg at a time. I step into the pants then I pull the pants up.

this doesn't make any sense to me, it's making me very mad.

what we really need are pants with velcro along the entirety of the outside so you can eliminate the tedious and annoying 'put leg in pants' step altogether

I think putting it on "one leg at a time" means putting each foot through the hole at different times and not pulling them up twice. Either that or I have been doing it wrong for years. Am I about to find out that putting my arms through the sleeves of button up shirts one arm at a time is wrong too?

I like this idea. a lot. are pants just patriarchal constructs? first ladies couldn't wear pants, now I (a dude) am not supposed to wear a dress. I'm already struggling with the leg approach. in these unprecedented times I've been wearing a lot of shorts and bathrobes, and you know what? maybe the pantsed part of my life is over now. down with patriarchy! and down with mandatory pants!

Toplogically speaking, as far as clothing is concerned, a human being may as well be a sphere. You can put your pants on by shoving your head into your cuff and pulling down.

How else would you do it, unless you're a fancy lad with a butler or manservant who holds up your shirts and jackets so you can just slip right into them

I did this as a kid on the edge of my bed and it seemed obvious you want to sit down as much as possible in life, so when I overheard two Silents (pbut) saying to one another "I put my pants on one leg at a time just like Jack Nicklaus" I thought he was bragging about their similarity

And why do they call it a pair of pants if there is only 1?

OP seems to be a pants expert.
This is a medieval pair of pantaloons. As you may notice they are actually two separate legs that you hook together at the taint and on the belt. Ergo, it's a pair.

Big Beef City

Why do they call it sleeves when there's only one on each arm or socks when there's only one on each foot or glasses when there's only one on each eye or pants when there's only one on each leg I've just NEVER been able to figure that out in me entire life I says - Me, nude, to myself in the mirror every loving morning when I get out of the shower for the past 30+ years.

much like the pantaloon, the original form was... somewhat complicated, and you could put on one or the other. More of a front / back thing instead of left / right
