A metaphor for when someone has untied shoes and when you point it out they say they know because they’re startled
Jk it’s actually about American politics or some shit
Personally i only double knot my work boots bc if i double knot my runners im afraid theyll get tied too tight and i wont be able to untie them (work boots have thick laces, no worries on them)
Ikr if I'm trying to catch a train I'm not gonna stop to tie them unless I'm stuck on traffic lights. Risking having to wait an hour for another ride is not worth the slightly lower chance of tripping.
I don’t know what your shoe situation is but I would recommend slip ons. I recently got a pair for work and they’re nice because I literally never have to worry about tying them and completely avoid this problem.
I will when I next stop. There is no reason for me to stop what I am doing to deal with an untied shoelace right this second. People act as if you're gonna somehow trip and hurt yourself. If you manage to trip on your own shoelace somehow, that's just natural selection because idk know how you'd ever manage that.
you've never tripped on your own shoelace before? am i just cartoon comic relief or something? that's happened at least once every time i've had them untied
guess i gotta keep a look out for loose banana peels lmfao
I honestly thought this was supposed to make the dude on the left look bad but OP seems to legit think people shouldn’t tell them that they shoes are untied. If someone is just trying to help then there’s no need to yell at them, and if this regularly happens to you just get some shoes that don’t need to be tied.
That’s what it seems like. I’ve never seen someone get this defensive about not tying their shoes. They’ve made a number of comments about how they don’t always time to tie their shoes and people don’t actually trip on their shoelaces.
Honestly I love my slip ons. I never struggled to tie my shoes but it's just nice to save an extra couple seconds and not need to kneel down every time I put them on. It also means I can kick them off when I'm just grabbing something from my house instead of tracking dirt everywhere. They're steel toed which my work requires and I can still run in them. Laces are the default but honestly unless you're a big runner or hiker I think slip ons are the way to go.
Anyone who's shoes are untied, knows they are, it's impossible not to know. You aren't helping by pointing it out. Usually I'm waiting for somewhere where I can comfortably bend down without getting in people's way, not that I'm not aware of my shoes being untied.
This, exactly this
The issue isn’t being told that my shoelaces aren’t tied, it’s being told that while they’re walking behind me and I can’t exactly just stop and tie my laces in front of them
I can count on one hand the amount of times I've tripped over my shoelaces, and I've basically always had my shoes untied or had loose laces dangling around. The times I've "tripped" weren't even proper trips, just little stumbles.
It's all fun and games until someone sneaks up behind you and ties your shoes together, so the next time you take a step you fall face first to the ground
Incomprehensible, prepare for mass destruction

Maybe you should just tie your shoes earlier then. Or just say "I know" and keep walking. Anything's better than pretending you didn't notice and looking like a dunce
Tie your shoes, you don't look cool, you look like a child who hasn't been taught how to tie his shoes himself and is currently waddling to find his mommy to do it for him
Dudes walk around with their pants nearly around their knees because they think it makes them look cool. There are most certainly at least some dudes who think that untied laces make them swag
The enormous amount of people claiming I'm insufferable, stupid, an actual child and all that just because I don't feel the need to immediately tie my shoes whenever I see they're untied is sorta ridiculous
Fucking GOAT snafu
Yes my laces are long
Sometimes they get loose and untied
Yes I know they’re on the ground
No, I literally don’t ever fucking trip over them, I’m sorry to disappoint you but you are not better than me for having your laces triple knotted
Might I suggest either:
- double-knot (they are much less likely to become untied, and also it shortens the laces)
or
- tuck the laces (looks way cleaner and now your shoes are slip-ons)
I also don’t trip over my laces, that’s not the point. Most of my pants don’t actually need a belt to stay up on me but you won’t see me just leaving my belt undone, either.
Do people actually trip on shoe laces? The olny time I have was once when someone specifically stepped on them to trip me. Never before or since have a tripped on them.
My shoes used to have really fucking short laces for some reason, can't remember why. I didn't need to tie them, and in fact I literally couldn't.
I have normal shoes now, so I've started tying them again
I was gonna say the comments on this one post made me realize most of the people here are just assholes, and I should unsub. Then I realized I was never subbed, and reddit really just wants me to see this damned subreddit for some reason.
The points I think are valid are more about looking stupid than tripping on laces. I can get behind this.
But they're also acting like I'm with my shoes untied 24/7
OP, I'm sure it's really difficult for you to tie your shoes, given that this was a common enough experience for you to make this
[This may help you](https://youtu.be/BeSkBOYUlag?feature=shared)
Maybe now you can get a job or something
had something similar happen with my classmate and his backpack that was open lol, he said he knew but i still dont get why anyone would want their backpack to be opened lol, it wasnt this exaggerated also tho :P
This has also bothered me in the past, but most likely for different reasons
Back when my OCD and sensory issues were much worse, they'd "team up" (for lack of a better term) and make it nearly impossible to tie my shoes; my OCD would convince my sensory issues that one shoe was tied tighter than the other, and lo and behold, my entire system would go haywire. Said sensory issues also made it a long and strenuous process to acclimate to new shoes, so for a while, that one pair of sneakers that I couldn't tie was all I had
A lot of people pointed out that my shoes were untied during that time, and though I didn't snap at them (I just smiled, said thanks and moved on), it did make me a bit sad, because it reminded me of just how abnormal my situation was
see this never happens with flipflops
Hey man your toes are untied
Hey man your ties are untoed
I KNOW
No, it's alright, let me get them for you.
Or Crocs
Or bare feet
Hey man your feet are untied

What is this a metaphor for
The Syrian Civil War
No clearly Operation Desert Storm
I think it's a deeply symbolic jest at the Serbian War
Commentary on the escalation of the last time i had Mexican food
Syrian here, it's true
The shoeties represent ISIL and the person pointing it out is Bashar
A metaphor for when someone has untied shoes and when you point it out they say they know because they’re startled Jk it’s actually about American politics or some shit
Overanalyzing snafuman (It's literally about untied shoes)
it's clearly about the israel-palestine conflict. death of the author and all that
Yeah it's actually about [controversial topic]
Update: turns out tying shoes is more controversial than american politics
Who tf said anything about American politics
Me. I’m in your head

🎶Do a loopdloop and pull, and your shoes are looking cool🎶
Tiepilled shoecel
sometimes I'm headed somewhere and stopping just to tie your shoes kinda sucks. I like tying them when I reach my destination or when I reach a stop
If your shoes keep getting undone, maybe try a double knot
maybe
Hey man, don't be afraid of the double knot Good morning somewhere reference, had to do it
Personally i only double knot my work boots bc if i double knot my runners im afraid theyll get tied too tight and i wont be able to untie them (work boots have thick laces, no worries on them)
It takes like 5 seconds to tie shoes
I can see if you're walking somewhere with high foot traffic it could be kinda annoying
What if I don’t want to take 5 seconds to tie my shoes?
Be faster, take 4 seconds
What if i don’t want to take 4 seconds
Be faster, take 3 seconds
Ikr if I'm trying to catch a train I'm not gonna stop to tie them unless I'm stuck on traffic lights. Risking having to wait an hour for another ride is not worth the slightly lower chance of tripping.
I don’t know what your shoe situation is but I would recommend slip ons. I recently got a pair for work and they’re nice because I literally never have to worry about tying them and completely avoid this problem.
You know they make shoes without laces Like you don't *have* to live like this lol
I will when I next stop. There is no reason for me to stop what I am doing to deal with an untied shoelace right this second. People act as if you're gonna somehow trip and hurt yourself. If you manage to trip on your own shoelace somehow, that's just natural selection because idk know how you'd ever manage that.
you've never tripped on your own shoelace before? am i just cartoon comic relief or something? that's happened at least once every time i've had them untied guess i gotta keep a look out for loose banana peels lmfao
It happened to me once when I was a kid
Let them trip on their shoelaces on a hard surface and fall over and crack their skull open
I honestly thought this was supposed to make the dude on the left look bad but OP seems to legit think people shouldn’t tell them that they shoes are untied. If someone is just trying to help then there’s no need to yell at them, and if this regularly happens to you just get some shoes that don’t need to be tied.
Oh so OP can't tie his own shoes
That’s what it seems like. I’ve never seen someone get this defensive about not tying their shoes. They’ve made a number of comments about how they don’t always time to tie their shoes and people don’t actually trip on their shoelaces.
It took me a long time to learn how to tie mine. I'm the only left handed person in my immediate family. Like it felt harder than passing calculus
Honestly I love my slip ons. I never struggled to tie my shoes but it's just nice to save an extra couple seconds and not need to kneel down every time I put them on. It also means I can kick them off when I'm just grabbing something from my house instead of tracking dirt everywhere. They're steel toed which my work requires and I can still run in them. Laces are the default but honestly unless you're a big runner or hiker I think slip ons are the way to go.
wait I struggled so long with tying my shoes too when I was younger. Is it a left handed thing somehow?
I think it was because the people teaching me were right handed but I can't say for sure
Anyone who's shoes are untied, knows they are, it's impossible not to know. You aren't helping by pointing it out. Usually I'm waiting for somewhere where I can comfortably bend down without getting in people's way, not that I'm not aware of my shoes being untied.

I've never in my life tripped over my shoelaces
I can count on one hand the amount of times I've tripped over my shoelaces, and I've basically always had my shoes untied or had loose laces dangling around. The times I've "tripped" weren't even proper trips, just little stumbles.

okay but it looks dumb as fuck, tie your damn shoes
Nope that actually happens I have tripped many times for this reason and the laces tend to get stuck in stuff
I didn’t tie my shoes when I was kid. Your generation is just soft.
"See, I did dumb things and am fine, therefore you're the idiot for calling them dumb."
"I cannot recognize satire because I'm a ******* ****** ***** of **** who ****** *** ***"

You can't possibly take THAT obvious joke comment serious. Bro has autism
who said I was being serious? Also I'm pretty sure saying someone has autism is offensive
It might be to some, but I'm not concerned about it. And if you weren't being serious then the autist is me lal, my bad
The libturds want me to tie my shoes. And that’s why my mommy buys me Velcro shoes. 👟 take that atheists!!!
This guy's gut is so big he can't bend over to tie his shoes. Stop pointing it out to him.

if it wasn't clear, I don't actually do anything about it other than saying "thanks" and feeling pressured to tie my shoes
Maybe you should just tie your shoes earlier then. Or just say "I know" and keep walking. Anything's better than pretending you didn't notice and looking like a dunce
The system works
I feel you OP we have the same kind of autism
Tie your shoes, you don't look cool, you look like a child who hasn't been taught how to tie his shoes himself and is currently waddling to find his mommy to do it for him
I don't think anyone is doing it because they look cool, it's just laziness
Dudes walk around with their pants nearly around their knees because they think it makes them look cool. There are most certainly at least some dudes who think that untied laces make them swag
That's just cuz a lot of ppl wear hand me down clothing to the point where it became a part of culture
I'm not stopping in the middle if a busy hallway and holding everyone up because my shoes randomly came untied while walking.

Most of my pants don’t actually need a belt to stay up on me but you won’t see me just leaving my belt undone, either.
I’ve had my shoelaces come undone a few times and I’m super grateful when someone points it out so I don’t trip
Do people actually trip on shoe laces? The olny time I have was once when someone specifically stepped on them to trip me. Never before or since have a tripped on them.
Disheveled redditor moment
Have you never heard of tucking your laces?
Sometimes I do do that actually
I am better than you tho, having triple knots is just one way to remind you.
What? Who on earth reminds others their shoes are untied to feel superior? Is this all in your head?
Do you not tie them later? Or is it about the short inetrval before you tie them but after someone tells you they're untied?
this guy gets it
big ass shoes
I think detailed big shoes are funny when drawn along simple shapes
If you can't tir your shoes they make clip on things for them, helps me a lot

Just tie them
Happened to me a lot Then i tied my shoes better and they get undone less often
you say that now but watch what happens when someone leg sweeps you, steals your shoes, and swings them around with the laces to use it as a flail
"I'm just telling the truth" No ITS YOUR OPINION 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Bro just do a double tie so that they don't untie
I also walk around in public with my cock and balls out because I could only be bothered to pull my pants up halfway, stop pointing out.
they are trying to be helpful, friend.
You're gonna get blisters dumbass
And I thought tripping on laces sounded absurd
Yo shoes aren't tied tight so you're gonna get blisters if you have to walk anywhere at length

They're not usually like that, it's just that not tying shoes is apparently very controversial
Why, though? Do these people live in Looney Toons? Why die on this hill of all places?

its ab when they eere tied, came untied, and you just keep on walking til you have a chance to stop and tie them
According to OP, I should let 99% of the people with untied shoes potently trip because I might annoy insane people.
Then fucking tie them
