Something you may or may not know about me and now you know the reason why.....
Haha, those of you who have spent any time around me may, at some point, realize something. I rarely, ever, tie my shoes. Not in the unsafe manner where my shoe laces are dragging the ground...I don't want to ruin my shoes! :-) I never trip and rarely lose my shoes. I haven't always kept my shoes untied but now it's an unconscious act. It's so much easier to slip your shoes on and off if they aren't tied. I won't step on the heel of my other shoe to take it off and bending over and tying them and then having to retie them minutes later. With my job, I will not wear my shoes inside the house. Even if the bottoms of the shoes look okay, knowing what I've been in that day compels me to drop my shoes at the door wherever I go. If I'm going to be running or walking a day of trail rides, I will tie them....usually. I don't think it's a big deal. However, I sat next to someone the other day who remarked to me, "Hey, your shoes aren't tied!" to which I responded, "No, they aren't" and didn't do anything about it. I got the strangest look. "You don't tie your shoes.....??" "Nope." (Insert ensuing discussion as to why I don't.) I don't think they'll ever tell me again that my shoes are untied....I think I blew their mind without trying to. :-) There you have it.
