↑ laces wanker

Someone on my recent holiday list a shoe whilst bungee jumping because she used the incorrect procedure

But the other lace could come undone at any time. Not checking because you’re busy is an absolute false economy.

Saw this happen to a guy on Saturday night, his shoe AND sock came off. Really don’t know how he managed that.

I just tie them right the first time :man_shrugging:

You arrogant fool

Yeah. You tye the shoelace that’s come loose and then you realise the other shoelace is then not as tight. Best to do both whilst you’re there.

Good to know tbh. Obviously nobody has ever tripped over a Shoelace but I don’t wanna be dragging it in rainwater and piss thanks

tuck your lace inside your shoe and fix it when you get to your destination

Using passport gates at airports

  • Have passport pre-opened to photo page and held in orientation for seamless contact with the reader
  • Use standard ocular assessment technique of queue flow on approach
  • Refine assessment up until moment of queue joining by keeping an eye out for anyone who looks like they’re going to be an absolute fanny
  • Once in queue, commence hawk-like monitoring of gate lights for your turn
  • The microsecond you see the green tick, walk briskly into the gate area
  • Align pre-opened passport with reader
  • Remove glasses, because even though they say you don’t need to you absolutely cannot risk not getting this right the first time
  • stare at camera with neutral expression
  • When permitted, walk briskly through the gate
  • Continue brisk walk until AT LEAST 10 metres clear of exit area
  • Correct procedure

Comes out far too quickly imo and can also be uncomfortable. I’d rather deal with the problem asap. I am a MAN OF ACTION

god I love you

Kneel down like some kind of chump? No, I will walk for yards, nay, miles, until I find an appropriate piece of street furniture, or low garden wall or similar, where I can lift my foot up and tie my lace.

No chat until we’re AT LEAST 10 posts clear of the poll exit, we’ll get in the way

I don’t really like bending over, especially if I have a big coat/bag on. awkward and I could fall over

Got some boots with them shit laces that always come undone (lol thewarn can’t tie his shoes!) and I always re-tie them in the same place - put my foot up on a decaying window ledge that is outside an abandoned house. Become a much treasured part of my morning routine tbh
