Anyway, if you're grabbing the neck at the back you're stretching your shirt.

I never realised what a complex operation this is, until this thread made me think about it...

I put both hands round the back of my neck and oik the shirt up a few inches, then run my hands round to the front, lift the shirt up to just above my eyes, but below my hair. Then I run my hands round to the back again and carefully pull the shirt upwards toward the top of my head. As I pull, I move my hands back round the front again, pulling the the shirt away from my hair. Once my head is completely within the shirt I move my hands toward the back again, slip my left thumb into the neck and pull forward.

This allows me to take my shirt off:
- without ruining my hair
- without knocking my glasses (though I usually wear contacts nowadays)
- and ensuring the shirt is the right way out.

For shirts with buttons, I always unbutton all the way down and just take it off from the arms (not over the head). For long sleeved shirts though, I never undo the cuffs. I have really small hands, and if I put my thumb and little finger together, I can easily pull my hand through without unbuttoning them.

Fascinating thread!!

I used to do the pulling at collar method.  When I broke my arm, I couldn't anymore beacause I couldn't reach, so now I usually do the crossed-arm-from-bottom method.

It depends.
If I'm going to put the shirt in the hamper and I don't care about making it inside-out, then I pull up from the bottom.
If I intend to use the shirt again, I use the pulling at the collar.

nothing a trip thru the wash won't fix. but mine usually end up inside out when removed.

but on a button down, my preference is to unbutton the cuffs, then the shirt, then let it fall behind me catching it with one hand. my dry cleaner does a nice job of putting it back together on a hanger.

Meh - cuffs, three buttons at the top, and a pull over the head. This is promptly followed by a "rehanging."

Um, did I miss something, or did you get a sex-change over the holidays?

How dem bitches take thurr shirts off?

that question due to not having witnessed the action?

Usually I stick my left arm in, and then my right arm in. Then I just push it up.

Sometimes I will just grab the bottom and pull it off upside down, but that's a rare event.

My hair is very short, so it can't be messed up.  It's fantastic.

As for the shirt, I guess I pull from the collar.  I don't own any tank tops.

OOOH, I just noticed that this is the second time his thread has been zombified, what's the record for zombification

There's no point in bumping a thread after 11 months, especially when 11 months ago it was bumped after 2 years.
