Chris, The reason is simple. Everyone knows that tomato soup should be made with milk, and served with a sprinkling of cheddar cheese and crumbled Ritz crackers.

Tomato soup is just wrong. Somewhere, sometime, someone forgot to actually put something in with the tomatos. To cover up their mistake, they called it soup and figured everyone would think they did it on purpose.

Actually, I just analyzed my own order as I got dressed this morning, and I realized that I do, in fact, put my socks on before my pants. I guess I'd never consciously thought about it, but I do it for the very good reason, mentioned by Elizabeth, that by putting my socks on first, I don't have to fight with my pant legs to pull the socks up. Especially when I'm wearing tight pants, which I haven't done since high school.
And to those who say that a guy with socks on and no pants is an offense, I have two answers. One, no more so than a naked guy, and regardless of when we put our pants on, every one of us is naked at some point in this procedure. Two, I live alone, so nobody has to deal with it. No one ever sees me until the entire procudure is complete, by which point it no longer matters.

Hm. I was just going to say, "If it bothers people, then shut the door before you turn on the light. Simple." But if the switch is outside the door, that would complicate things. Now what I want to know is, what kind of idiot designs a house with the light switch outside the door of the room the light goes to?

There are 2 switches in the kitchen of our new house, and I have no idea what they turn off or on. Apparantly nothing.
In our old house farther north, which we lived in for over two years, there was a switch in the living room with no function we could ever discover. I think the builders put it there just to frustrate us.

When making Grilled Cheese...I like to melt the butter and brush it onto the bread. That way it is nice and evenly applied...and you also don't get too much butter.

The lightswitch was placed on the far side of the door for your own protection. Bathrooms are typically made of pale or semireflective surfaces and bathroom lights are typically more-direct than other rooms of the house. Vanity lights typically have no covers on them.
By placing the lightswitch on the outside of the door, you won't be tempted to turn it on and burn your eyes out. It's one of the most painful sensations a human can live through without permanent damage! Going from pure darkness of sleep to neon-beamed nuclear bathroom is excrutiating. I had a tile pattern cooked onto my retna one time when I made a late-night stop in the bathroom in my dorm suite.
It's even worse when sick, because the room is bright and painful, *and* it's reeling around.
I find that a nightlight placed somewhere in the bathroom is a perfect amount of light. Unfortunately, it's too little light to engage in my typical sit-down activity in the bathroom--reading the labels on the shampoo, mouthwash, or whatever else happens to be resting on the shelf near the toilet.

I put my socks on with my underwear and bra, because I pull them out of the same drawer after a shower.

I hear ya. Five minutes without the printed word is five minutes lost forever.

Why do you think people do that? I know that sitting on the toilet for even a second without reading is torture. What makes reading the toothpaste tube five thousand times more interesting?
BTW, I do not read on the toilet if I have to use it at night because I don't want to wake myself up. If I do I'll be up for two more hours, thinking.

You know, this conversation reminds me of another important thing. There would be no need for a light in the bathroom at all if men would simply remember to put the dadblasted seat down.

Ha ha. On one of the Monk episodes, someone comes to his house, and goes in to use the bathroom. He is horrified and says, "Um, it isn't really a public restroom!"

Much as it pained me to do so, I just had one of my tenant's bathroom light switch moved from inside the bathroom to just outside of it. Until I bought the place the light switch had been inside her freaking shower enclosure! Who thought that would be a good idea, I wonder?

You know, about the toilet paper touching the wall? It doesn't. We buy cheap toilet paper, and it stays connected to the roll until the appointed time.

Toilet paper: Who cares where it's at? If you get the wrong brand, though, you're in deep doo-doo!
