Personally I don't really have a preference, although the ones with the clips I find are good for hanging skirts. I usually don't hang my pants up, mainly I just fold them and put them in my dresser. Most of my shirts are on hangers though.

Of course, this is all irrelevant as I haven't put a piece of my clothing on a hanger in several years.

That is why I figured the styrofoam or paper dovel is for - to prevent trousers from sliding to one side on the hanger.

I forgot about those. Not an intentional omission, the "full bodied" ones are good for suits. When the wood pants rod is good and snug against the metal rod.
Sometimes the cardboard dowel has some lightly applied, "sticky" stuff on it to keep trousers from sliding.
the wire hangers from cleaners that have paper wrappers: How long am I obliged to keep the adwrap? 5 years? more? Until it falls off?
My grandmother taught me early on to hang all clothes "one direction" so in case of a fire you can make a quick grab. If I had a fire, I don't know what I'd grab. I suppose I ought to prioritize a list. I'm pretty OCD about making sure stuff's turned off, but you can't be too sure.

And Chefelf is right about not hanging up his clothes, ever. It disorients him! I hung some of his pants up in the hall closet so they would be off the floor, and then got a series of panic stricken emails at work with subject lines like, "PANTS!" and "WHERE ARE MY PANTS?" and "I HAVE TO GO TO WORK, WHERE ARE MY PANTS?"

Heheh...guys are silly.

I have to say my sympathies are with your mum! However, in my defense, I did tell Chefelf that I was hanging up his pants. Here is a transcript:
Jen: Sweetheart, darling love, cookie pie, I am hanging up your pants for you in this closet so that they will be off the floor and ready for work."
Chefelf: Ummmmhmmmmmmm (while staring at computer.)
Jen: Did you hear me, angelcake? I have out your pants in the closet. Your pants are now hanging up, in the hall closet. So for future reference, cherub, your pants are now easily accesible and hanging up in our closet. Okay, dearest one?
Chefelf: (Looks away from the computer for almost enough time to be detectable by the human eye): Okay, okay, yes, I heard you! (Shakes head, while looking at the computer).
(This is how I remember it, anyway! But I DID tell him I was hanging them up.)
