To think the way I take a t-shirt or jumper off isn't odd?

[CigarsofthePharoahs]

According to DH and ds it does. I cross my arms over, grab the bottom and just lift it up all the way.
DH faffs pulling arms through first. Ds can't "manage" if it's short sleeves as he somehow gets himself stuck. He's 8!
I'm not even a particularly flexible person.
Am I odd or they?

I do a mix of both

That's normal. They're weird.

I can’t take a jumper off like that either but it wouldn’t occur to me to think it was ‘odd’ just because it isn’t my own preferred method! It’s pretty normal

I do as you do - it makes sense.

Both DH and DS do some weird grabbing of the back of the neck and yanking it over their head and then fighting to get their arms out. Looks very awkward and stretches the neckband on everything.

I haven't really noticed with DD so assume she has a fairly normal way too 😉

Both normal but your way means you then have to put it right way out again.

Surely it depends on your hair style which way you tug it off?

Your way if hair is loose
Sons way if hair is up

Not odd. I do a combination of both. Now do you know whats odd?

My dear old aunt puts her bra on by doing the clasp up first then putting it over her head and stretching it on like you would a tshirt. Most bizarre.

It’s a wierd men/women thing. Most women cross their hands at the front and pull up. Most men reach over their heads and pull from there. If you have a man around, ask him, while standing up, to look at the some of his foot. Then, if you’re a woman, do it yourself. I guarantee most of you will do it differently and I can tell you how!

Apparently, women tend to do the arm-crossing thing whereas men don't. I definitely cross my arms, I've tried doing it the other way and I get stuck!

YANBU. HE is the one who is odd!

I've never even thought about it but I also cross arms. I'm thinking about DH and don't think he COULD cross his arms like that. He's quite muscular and broad...so not very flexible.

Omg you're all mental!!! I hold each sleeve and pull my arms out one at a time, then hold the neck out as I pull it off to make sure my make up isn't ruined 😂

I've heard it's a men/women thing. I tested my husband and tri3d to get him to cross arms and remove, it was hilarious to watch, he couldn't do it

Glad to know I'm not odd!
Both of them looked at me like I was talking in another language.

Have never understood the arms first thing other than on a beach where it often makes sense for public/privacy reasons. I do exactly what you do. Always think the other way seems kind of ‘coy’. ?

DH puts jumpers ON in a weird way. He sort of fumbles around trying to stick his head through the neck hole first, before going anywhere near the arms. It's quite fascinating to watch

Op your weird I take my arms out then pull it over my head.

I can't believe that 'busy' people have time to post such a stupid question. Who did people ask about such important things BC, before computers?

It’s a male and female thing - and child thing I think. Kids tend to pull there arms in first, men pull the collar over their heads first and women do what you do OP.

I've always seen it as a M/F thing - men pull from the neck/shoulders over their head and then shrug it off down their arms; F cross arms and pull up. At least the M way keeps the jumper the right way out, I find crossing arms turns the jumper inside out and have to spend another two seconds righting it!

I used to cross my arms across & pull it up from the bottom edge (but catch hold of the neck on the way so it didn't turn inside out). I have trouble with one of my arms now, so doing the pull from the neck is easier. I do have to loosen the arms first though, if they are snug.

DD & DH turn absolutely everything inside out when getting undressed, there's no hope for them.

DH pulls for the back/shoulders, off in one swipe.

I pull my arms out first and the over the head, as I have long hair usually tied in a bun so I don't want it messed up.

Busy people need diversion - I certainly do! - this kind of small thing is actually fascinating when you take a moment and think about it. I have a heavy case next week and in robing room will do a moment of considering this. I’ve always noticed putting wigs on (at Bar) has similar variety - plopping on from top, leaning far forward and sweeping it on (to do with hair usually), plopping on then rearranging hair etc. Hmmm thanks op for diverting thought. Back to being ‘busy’

i am sure men do it differently.
I pull it off from the bottom, so it is inside out.
but the two men i asked take from the top

ooh, i hadnt read the thread, and concurred with most
