Do you sit on the Floor?

[skategreen]

Do you sit on the floor to put on your shoes?

 

 

I'm just wondering.

 

 

A bit of a limited survey, but easily enough undertaken here at GF. I think I'll try to remember to start asking some folk.

 

Or maybe this little survey here will clear it up for me.

 

It strikes me once in awhile and I wonder about it. Because...I do - I sit on the floor to put on my shoes. I've tried to imagine my mother doing it..and can't recall it. I KNOW Dad didn't.

 

I taught K-1 for years... course then, I wasn't in the minority. I'm just musing.. was this something I was supposed to outgrow? Does everyone do it and I just don't notice? Or does it just come with the territory of being a bit on the short side?

My husband doesn't..but then..he's not all that limber. Hell, I hide things from him in the fridge by putting it on the bottom shelf. He won't bend to look.

 

So what say you, oh GF cohorts? Do you sit on the floor to put on your shoes?

[eisanbt]

Takes more time and effort, why would I sit down?

I never sit on the floor because I'm not limber like your husband. I have a long standing back problem...having said that I always wear shoes I can slip on, I have had on tie up shoes only a couple times in the last year and even then I sat on the edge of the bed to put them on.

you didn't have a problem when i had your legs behind your head???

[manicmonday]

I only wear sandles or thongs, but no I wouldn't sit on the floor. Even when dressing the baby, I put him on the couch or my bed.

Your kidding right? LOL

 

NO I was taught balance. Same with putting on my pants.

[builder]

I don't sit down, but I always put the left boot on first.

 

Some hoodoo about the devil climbing up your leg if you put the right one on first. LOL.

 

Man, them rightards have even got into putting shoes on.

[smutt butt]

always sitting on something, always left foot first and laces MUST be left over right.

[Lethalfind]

Very funny...it was those muscle relaxers you popped in my drink that made that posible...

[skategreen]

No, I wasn't kidding. Right?

 

Thanks for all the answers.

 

Natually, slip on shoes are slip ons, and there's no sense sitting.

 

I wear sandles in the warm weather, boots in winter to work fairly frequently, so these are just slip on.

 

But most of the other times I'm wearing my Mocs - (thin rubber soled and leather thong tie ups) - or my runners to the gym and here and there...but mainly, my dearest Mocs. For these two I'm always on the floor putting them on.

 

So my thus-far-limited survey.... others are not floor sitters.

Hmmmm.

 

I'm a curb sitter too. I wonder if floor sitting and curb sitting are related.

[Hamza123]

I sit on the floor and put on my shoes.

 

I just think that taking time to do anything is right. Even shoes!!

 

It's actually become into kind of a habit. I do it at home, at school during gym, at basketball practice. Just about anywhere I need to put new shoes on. But I am sitting down sometimes, not on the floor all the time.

[Quarky1.0]

I usually sit in a chair or couch to put on my shoes, but sometimes I sit on the floor. However I usually don't wear shoes around the house, I go barefoot, even in winter. I like feeling that connection with the ground etc and only wear shoes when I go out.

Does anyone else rarely wear shoes? Or do you wear shoes even at home?

[manicmonday]

No, I wasn't kidding. Right?

What's a curb sitter? If I'm outside, I'm walking with the baby in a stroller and don't have time to sit. Or do you mean when you pull up weeds and such? When I had a big yard, I just walked around and pulled as I went.

 

Overall, I'm just not a sitter much. I don't even sit half the time to work on my lap top. It's on the cabinet and I walk around while doing stuff.

[Hamza123]

Any shoe that has touched the outside floor/earth is not going to be allowed passed the front corridor of my house!! You step on dirt outside, and bring it in the house! So I take off my shoes and change socks when i walk around the house! I like to be clean. If I am not, it irratates my mind.

And only good can come of it when you're dealing with me!

[Chi]

Nope, almost never, but I have before. I usually sit on the couch, bed or chair while putting on my shoes or just standing and done quickly if I'm in a rush (which is often).

[tiredofwhiners]

Nope i have to sit on a step or chair. The question is why would you go all the way to the floor, just to stand back up?

[Crystal]

oh hell no, if I can't just slip them on standing up i'll go barefoot

Just here and there when you're having to wait somewhere.

 

Sunny morning at the train station, and I'm early...

um...waiting for the new tires to be put on... out front the tire place..

um...killing some time on a lunch break, outside a deli...

oh

and last week...waiting outside for hubby, inside a store shopping.

 

Pull up a curb and set a spell!

VERY GOOD!

 

Exactly! Someone else! Very Good!

 

I find it's a matter of speed. I move quickly... zip over, and as I lean to grab the shoes, plop down, pull them on...tie up the mocs..and away I go. Runners too..same thing.

 

Musing....I think...I use a chair when I happen to be sitting in a chair and the shoes are nearby. If I have to go get them, and bend for them, then it's the floor.

 

It's faster..that's why.

See, I think this is where our personality are different. I don't wait for anything. If I'm early for something, I walk around and go buy a water or see if there's something to read or go put on lipstick. If I was waiting for tires to put on, I ask for a loaner and go do the the rest of my errands. Lunch breaks I would again run errands. If I was waiting for a husband(If you could here me laughing here you would freak), I would find a book store or go do something I wanted to be doing.

 

I think your just more laid back then I am which isn't bad, it's just the way it is. I'm far too jittery to sit around and wait.

I have issues with getting dirty...I would probably NOT want to sit on the curb for that reason. Strangely enough getting dirty doesn't bother me when I'm in my garden or doing different things around the house. I don't even touch hand rails in public places for fear they are to filthy.

[ToriAllen]

I have issues with getting dirty...

Let's face it, you just have issues.

 

If I am putting on shoes that take more effort than just slipping them on, I sit on the couch. Once in a while I'll sit on the floor to put the kid's shoes on, but that is just because that is where I managed to wrestle them to the ground and hold them down.

YOUR saying I have issues???

 

If thats not the kettle calling the pot black...or in Psychology I believe they refer to that as projecting??? Sound familiar Miss BS???
