Do you do it with the lights on?
 

I was thinking about an Oprah show I saw a LOOOONG time ago. She had these dudes on there, who wrote the book, Do You Do It With The Lights On? In the book, there are various odd surveys. So I wanted to conduct a little GC survey based on some of the ones that I remember. :)

1) Do you do it with the lights on? :p
2) Do you put the toilet paper roll on over or under?
3) Do you dry your feet BEFORE exiting the shower or AFTER?
4) Do you put on both socks then both shoes, or one sock, one shoe? (ok, I got that from an episode of All in the Family)

Those are the only ones I can think of right now... here are my answers...

1) Why not? On, off, it really doesn't matter.
2) Over, so that the loose end is on top.
3) BEFORE!!!! I can't STAND wet bath mats!!
4) both socks, then both shoes

Oh, feel free to add more questions! This should be a pretty fun thread. :D

1)Lights Off...no comment
2) Toilet paper over the roll...i hate when people put it on backwards...
3) After I get out...i don't know why
4) One sock one shoe :D

Funny Thread
 

1. :p
2. toilet paper over the roll
3. before I leave the shower (I hate wet bathroom rugs)
4. both socks, then shoes

1. Wouldn't you like to know ;)
2. Definitely over, I hate it when it's under
3. BEFORE, I hate wet shower mats, and when you just step out of the shower, it leaves two big old wet footprints that take all day to dry
4. Both socks and then shoes

1. :o

2. doesn't matter, either way, as long as the tissue isn't stuck to the roll, where you have to fight with it, and end wasting half the roll unnecessarily.

3. After I leave the shower. When my feet are wet, I just step into one pair of slippers. After I dry my feet off, I have another pair of slippers that I put on. It's strange, but it works for me.

4. Both socks, then shoes.

sometimes on, sometimes off....I can't believe I answered that:o , oh well...

I never really thought about which way is better...I guess whichever way it happens to be when I put it on the thingy

Ater I get out, unfortunately...but you know..I am always mad because my floor is soaked when I get out the shower! I suppose I now know what to do to prevent that :rolleyes:


Both socks, then shoes.

1. Off (I've heard I make some pretty ugly faces)
2. Under
3. I step on the rug or a towel, then dry
4. Both socks, then shoes

I would have to agree..i don't think about it...i just put on there.

1. It doesn't matter, lights on or lights off..sex is sex!
3. I dry my feet before sometimes or after sometimes...depends on where i lay my towel...is it on the toilet seat or on the sink...or is it hanging up...all depends.
4. both socks then shoes

Do you do it with the lights on?
 

1. Both :D :p
2. I really ain't paid much attention, let me go look, it's over the top but who knows it might be under next roll. As long as it is handy when I need it, it's aaaaallllll good in the hood.
3. I let them air dry. :p
4. I believe both socks and then shoes but again I never really think much about it.

5. Have not eaten C on C in ages -- pass
6. The door is open. I have to remember to shut it when i have company sometimes :o

Re: Do you do it with the lights on?
 

Good ones!!!

5) I used to eat from left to right, but now, in circles. I don't even know when I changed.

6) open

ME TOO!!! LMAO!!!

1. Lights off. When I am really tired, sometimes I need to concentrate...:p

2. For some reason I always put it on there under.

3. Before I get out of the bathtub.

4. Socks then shoes.

5. I eat corn left to right

6. I usually leave the door opened if I am trying to watch TV. :p

1. Depends on the time of the month. My lil pooch gets a lil bigger! Can you say b-l-o-a-t-e-d?? :p

2. Over (when I can remember to replace it-haven't figure out why that's so hard to do)

3. Definitely before! :mad: Hate wet mats!

4. Socks then shoes...

5. Can't eat it! (Braces ruined it for me-now I feel every kernal... eeoww)

6. Open, who's gonna smell it?

I have one to add:

Which part of the body do you wash first when bathing?

I wash my arms first!

1. doesn't matter
2. doesn't matter, as long as it is there when I need it! ;) :p
3. I HATE my WET feet touching the floor or my mats, so I step on my towel. :p
4. Socks, then shoes

My Turn
 

With the lights on and off.

I always put it over.

After I get out the shower.

Both socks than shoes.

I hate corn on the cob.

I close it even when I am alone (I can't help it).

I wash my arms first too!

THIS IS GREAT!
 

1. Either or, it doesn't matter as long as the mood hits me! :D
2. OVER!! I hate under. Too complicated.
3. I lay a separate towel on the floor.I hate bath rugs by the shower :mad: . YUCK!
4. Both socks then shoes.
5. I have braces, so pass on that question. :( I'll answer that in Dec.
6. Wide open :D .

Turn the lights down low...(in my best Bob Marley voice)
 

1. Oh my...I'll have to say that's my business (but the song gives it away just a bit!!!)...
2. Definately over.
3. Um, I guess I dry my feet on the bath mat, so that would be after (I don't pay attention to these things)... :confused:
4. Both socks, starting with the left foot, then both shoes.
5. Left to right.
6. Definately closed (unless you live by yourself, you never know who and when someone else is entering the house, and besides, that's gross!!!)... :eek:
7. I believe I wash my upper body first (chest, stomach, then back, arms, etc.), using the same order I use when I put lotion on).

1. N/A
2. Usually over
3. I can't stand a wet bath rug
4. Sometimes both, sometimes one at a time
5. Left to right
6. Always open (I live alone)
7. I definitely wash my face first

Question:

When you wake up in the morning, do you brush your teeth first and then eat breakfast or do you eat breakfast first? (for those who actually eat breakfast)

I like to brush my teeth first.

This is Fuuuuuuuny
 

1) However I can whenever I can:D :p

2)Usually over.

3) I try to dry them before but somehow they're still a lil damp afterwards

4) Both

5) Left to right

6) I leave MY bathroom door wide open :p

7) I wash the upper body first. Mama always said DO NOT repeat the upper body after you've hit the hot spots on the lower body! LOL

Wellll....
 

Ideal
1) On/Off? Who's getting any????!!!??! :confused:

2) UNDER... (if you have ever owned a cat, then you know why). Anyhow it rolls better if you put it under. :p

3) Before. I have a little hand towel that I hang on the side of the tub so that I can rest my foot there while drying my legs, that way I am not creeping outta the shower with wet feet -- UGH

4) Both socks, both shoes... Left to right.

Lil' Sunshine

5) I eat my corn kinda diagonally... Left to right going steadily around...

6) I leave the door open, or I may half close it.

SistaRisin

7) I put my facial scrub/mask/foam on my face and neck first and then wash my armpits ( :p ). When I finish them I rinse my face neck and armpits simultaneously. :D

Ms. Real

8) If I feel like eating breakfast ... I brush my teeth AFTER the food, even if I am going to eat in my car on the way to work (McD's or B'King). If necessary, I have been known to brush my teeth in the corporate restroom on the 5th floor. I carry toothbrush and paste with me EVERYWHERE.

2 questions...

Aiiight folks, what about your pants/jeans/slacks/etc.???

((9)) Left or right leg first, or both?

And what about your socks (again)?

((10)) Do you put your socks on first and THEN your pants, or pants then socks?

ME

9) Both legs in at once... I have been told how weird this is, repeatedly.... :rolleyes:

10) SOCKS first. ;)

Re: Do you do it with the lights on?
 

1. it usually starts w/the lights on, but eventually, they get turned off. i like to look at "it" first.
2. toilet paper goes under
3. feet are dried after getting out of the shower
4. both socks and then shoes. always start w/the left sock, then right sock, left shoe and right shoe
5. corn on the cob is eaten left to right
6. i don't leave any doors open in the house, at anytime

Re: Do you do it with the lights on?
 

I have 2 more questions to add to the survey:

5. Do you eat your corn from left to right or in circles?
6. When you're alone in the house, do you leave the bathroom door open or close it?

[/B] [/FONT] [/B][/QUOTE]

5. In circles
6. closed...i don't know why just something i do

Oh this is fun...
1. :D . If I were married, maybe I'd answer this one!
2. My family did under. I do under. Then I heard a news-talk program and found out after 2 hours of debate that under was wrong! I still do under most of the time, but I'm cognizant that over shows the pattern on the roll properly.
3. Um..I wipe my feet off in the shower, but they're still damp, so I step out of the shower IMMEDIATELY into a pair of slippers (you out to see the contortions I put my body through to pull that feat off every morning! :))
4. Both socks, then shoes: left to right
5. Corn in circles, the entire left circular, then middle, then right
6. Door is open in the evenings...closed for some reason (probably trying to generate more heat in the bathroom) in the mornings
7. Forearms first to work up the lather
8. Depends...usually breakfast first, unless I'm particulary...err...ripe.
9. Left leg than right
10. Pants first, then socks (unless I have no trouser socks)

Re: Do you do it with the lights on?
 

1) Huh? :confused: Do what? :confused: ...... :D :p

2) Over. Especially after I saw that episode of Soul Food where Jack tells Lem to teach Bird how to put toilet tissue on the roll to avoid getting dust & germs in ya ___. (I don't know how true that is!)

3) BEFORE. I think men must have a rule that bathmats are towels, though. I gave up. I refuse to put one down anymore - I HATE soggy bath mats!

4)Both sock, then shoes.

5) Actually, right to left ??? Go figure.

6) Open.

7) Upper Body

8) When I eat breakfast - I usually eat first, if I'm alone. If it's a gathering of people, I brush first.

5. Left to right, just like reading or writing
6. Door definitely open, that's one of the pleasures of being home alone
7. I always wash my "business" first, I figure if the water suddenly gets turned off, that's the part that I want washed if the rest have to be dirty
8. Brush my teeth, I normally grab breakfast on the way out the door
9. Either or
10. Socks first

Now, I have a couple:

11. Which do you put on first, your deodorant or your shirt?
12. When you put on your jeans, do you zip or button first?

11) Depends on the color of the shirt... If I think a little deodorant may ruin it, I will put the shirt on first... For some reason, it's easier for me to put the deodorant AFTER the shirt to avoid an accident that it is to be carful in putting on the shirt... :confused:

12) Zip, then button. :D


... and to Shelacious, I am LMAO at your morning ripeness

1. I do it with both the lights on and off.
2. Now that I think about it, I unconciously always put it over. It just looks better that way.
3. BEFORE! I hate wet rugs. Plus, that is how my grandma taught me how to do it :-)
4. One sock, one shoe.
5. ever since I had braces, (I got rid of them a few years ago) I never ate it again.
6. Depends on if I am listening to a CD or something to that effect
7. My neck
8. I always brush my teeth first, then eat, then brush and gargle.
9. Left, then right.
10. I only wear socks when it gets cold, so I don't do it often enough to actually remember what I do.
11. It depends on whether or not it's a dark colored top. Dark colored top=after, CAREFULLY. All else=before, with a little bit of "drying" time afterwards :p
12. I zip them up, then I button.


I have a good one: 13. Do you buckle your seat belt first, then start the car, turn on the a/c, heat, radio, etc. OR do you start the car, turn on the a/c, radio, etc. and THEN buckle?

I do all that stuff in the car first, then I buckle my seat belt.

7 - 12
 

This is great!!!! :)

7) My face first, then I start with my arms. Separate washcloths for face and body.
8) I always eat first. Toothpaste just distorts the taste of everything.
9) Left then right
10) Socks first, only because I'm used to wearing stockings/pantyhose.
11) First, then I'm just real careful.
12) I button, then zip
13) Radio first, then air/heat, then seatbelt, then lights

OK, my turn..
 

1. Almost always on.
2. Never really pay attention.
3. After, I place a separate towel on the floor.
4. Both socks, then shoes, no particular order
5. Circular, straight up the middle, then left, then right
6. Leave the door open
7. Neck first, then ears/separate cloth for body and face.
8. Eat first, then brush...hate food tasting like toothpaste.
9. Right leg, then left leg.
10. Socks first.
11. Deodorant first (spray on)
12. Button, then zip
13. Buckle up first, then do everything else.


Here's question #14: When eating, do you eat all of 1 item first, then eat another item on your plate, or do you sample from each item on your plate until you're finished?

14. I eat a little of this, then a little of that until I'm all finished.

13) I have to do all of my "prep" work before I buckle up... As a matter of fact, I don't buckle up until I start rolling out of my parking space/driveway.

14) All of one item at a time.

Wow! This is gonna be fun!
 

Ok, here we go...
1. Lights: I usually like them off, but if their on, oh well. I'm not stopping to turn them off! :p
2.Toilet paper: over! As well as paper towels too
3. I dry my feet after, even though i hate the wet mat. I prefer to dry after b/c one time, I almost had a nasty slip in the tub trying to dry before.
4.Both socks, then shoes...right to left.
5. Corn: circular from right to left
6. I leave the bathroom door open however, since I got my cat, I close it cuz she's always trying to be up in my business!
7. I wash my arms first and I agree w/ the rule about not washing the upper part after washing the "hot spots" :) lol!
8. I usually brush first just b/c that was the rule in my house. But sometimes I eat first. But the thought of all that nighttime buildup kinda grosses me out, so I tend to just brush first and wait a lil bit to eat.
9. Pants-right then left
10. Socks-after the pants are on
11. Deodrant-sometimes first, sometimes after...depends
12. Button, then zip
13. Start the car, BUCKLE, then do the radio, air/heat, whatever after.
14. I sample everything until finished.

I got one: This goes w/ the food too
#15-Do you eat all your food, then drink your beverage? Or do you drink and eat simultaneously?

I eat and drink simultaneously

13. Buckle my seatbelt, start the car, start driving: I don't have to fool with the radio, a/c and all of that other stuff because I always like it the same way so it doesn't have to be adjusted for every trip

14. Eat everything together: a forkful of this and a forkful of that til everything's gone

15. Eat everything first: I try to eat all of my food first because if I drink simultaneously, I'll get full off of the juice and be hungry again in twenty minutes

Number 15
 

15) I drink some before I eat, then eat an item, wash it down, eat and item, wash it down... You get the picture. So I guess simultaneously.

You know, these are things I never really paid much attention to... But it's really interesting stuff to know about yourself.

1. Lights Off
2. Toilet paper over
3. After
4. Both socks then shoes
5. I eat my corn in circles
6. Bathroom door open when I'm alone
7. Wash my upper body first starting with my chest then arms
8. If I'm on my way out, brush first then eat....If I'm staying at home then I eat then brush.
9. I've never really noticed
10. Pants first then socks
11. Deodorant first
12. Button and zip
13. Start car, a/c /heat, seatbelt, then I lock the door.
14. When I eat I sample a little of everything. All my food has to be in equal proportions also.....I know...weird but true
15. Drink and eat

#s 8-15
 

8. Brush first, then brush again after eating
9. Left leg, then right leg
10. Socks first
11. Definately deodorant first (or else it WILL get all over my shirt)
12. Zip first, then button
13. I don't drive, but if I did, SEAT BELT FIRST!!! Be safe people!!!
14. I eat a little bit of everything
15. I am ALWAYS thirsty, so I end up drinking juice before I eat, but not too much or I'll get full and be hungry again 10 minutes later...

14 & 15
 

14) I eat a little of everything at the same time until I'm done. It's the combination of the foods together that I love!

15) I wasn't allowed to drink while eating growing up, so sometimes I still do that. But sometimes, I think, I'm grown, so I'm going to drink with my meal. Go figure, lol.

I have another one...
 

16) When you eat your banana, do you peel and eat, or do you remove the peel completely, then eat?

I peel and eat.

My next group of answers....
