Doing it different for decades
I was at the gym yesterday with a friend and my shoelace became un-tied as i dismounted my bike. My friend watched as I did up my shoelace the way I have since I was a little boy. With a confused look on his face, he said "is that really the way you tie your shoelace?"
Not thinking much of it at the time, I looked online later last night to find out I have been tieing my shoelaces in a way that is different to the norm, due to my mum teaching me the 'bunny ears' instead of the 'standard knot'.
How do you tie your shoelaces? Have you ever performed a task or daily routine in a certain way, only to find out you are doing it incorrectly or in a way that isn't the norm?
Drew,
Yeah I tie my shoelaces in an unconventional manner.
I was taught by another little kid many years ago who obviously had no idea how to tie his laces and his peculiar method has stayed with me for life.
I have , like you, have had people make comment on my slingshot sidedraft overhand knot with pike or whatever you want to call it.
I think his name was Lester, or was that one of the sheep, anyway stick with Lester. We will call it Lesters Loop.
Take it easy.
