I get on/off, push around, park and lock from the non-drive side as much as possible IMO. As for putting my foot down - I either use the left foot or take care to lean the bike well - and when stopped for any length of time, I climb forwards off the saddle.
My point is this though; how many of those fatties on the sofa would be more inclined to get themselves onto a bike if they didn't feel under pressure to conform to some sort of image? The image being that of a lycra wearing athlete with all the gear. Don't get me wrong; I am not criticising them for wearing all the proper (?) kit if that is what floats their boat. What I am criticising is those that look down their noses at us mortals, and feel that it is ok for them to criticise US for not conforming to their standards.
), hiking boots. I do usually wear cycling jersey and jacket as they are quite comfy. Jeans on the road bike would be torturous but on the Brooks saddle it's no problem. 
)I'm left handed/footed so do everything the opposite way to the majority of cyclists (get on bike from right side, put my right foot down when stopped, easier to push from right side etc)I get on/off, push around, park and lock from the non-drive side as much as possible IMO.

But I expect you know all that and it's just the practice which is difficult. I think I had a few tellings-off for oiling my clothes when I first had an unguarded bike as a child, so I soon got into better habits before I was made to do my own washing!
I've been tending towards wearing slightly more gear towards cycling in the last few years but I've plenty of years behind me when I've done 3000 miles for the year wearing what ever I want from my wardrobe..including jeans and in fact I'm in jeans today. Mind you when I buy my jeans and other trousers I usually try out sort of cycling positions in the changing room, and I won't even have got to the changing room with them if I've tried a quick stretch test and they feel really stiff.
Ah yes, that would complicate things. I spent a while doing stuff left-handed after breaking my right arm and the world really isn't kind!
Using your helmet to shut A&E staff up? @Fnaar
I think you're the second I've spotted whose avatar does but they don't?
not all golfers dress like clowns.....the same as not all cyclists are MAMILSMaybe a lot of these 'weekend warrior' types are ex golfists (sic) they're used to dressing up like clowns.
For some of us our only form of transport is a bike, does that make us the true cyclists.
