Does anybody else put on pants with both legs at the same time? (lemmy.world)

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.

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:

Hold the pants in front of you like usual and fall backwards into the bed
Use the momentum to rock backward with enough force to lift your hips briefly
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
As you roll forward, use the momentum to bring yourself back up off the bed
Once returned to standing position, pull waist the rest of the way if necessary and proceed as usual
