Warning: if you have a problem with socks, don''t read on For two years now I''ve had a theory. So far it has proven to hold true in ~90% of the cases (the remainder 10% being debatable as well). The theory is postulated as follows: all people pull on their left sock first regradless of which handed they are. This also holds true for tying their shoelaces starting with the left foot and other that kind of stuff. There is only one condition that must be fulfilled - the sock has to be pulled on subconsciously and there must be nothing around that would physically force the person to pull on either of the socks first. I''ve observed around 30 people so far (not too many, I know) and 27 of them have subconsciously pulled on the left sock first. One can consciously acknowledge oneself of which sock he/she is pulling on first without altering the outcome of the process - therefore I''d appreciate if people here tried this out: wake up in the morning, wash yourself, eat and pull on your socks - then think which one you pulled on first. Simple. You can test this on your family members by observing them put on their shoes (or in more radical cases ask them to take off their socks and then put them on again).
