Had this happen at work today and my colleagues looked at me like I was a madman for tying both shoes again, instead of just the one that got loose. But doing both shoes again just makes more sense, because you ensure both shoes are equally tight again.
Am I just weird for doing this?
I only re tie the loose one, I’ve never heard of anyone redoing both. But your logic is sound. 😆
I usually start off intending to only retie, then I walk around for a bit, get annoyed, and do the other one.
Your strategy of accepting the inevitable makes more sense which is why I will promptly forget it.
This is almost the exact reply I was about to write.
The difference is that if I was in a hurry to do something right before it came loose I will only tie the one, and go back for the other one the time pressure was over.
But that’s probably true for all of us, so kinda redundant.
What’s your job?
I do this too, but only after a few years of IT where I learned that if one thing breaks it’s counterpart would soon break so might as well fix/replace while I’m working on the original problem.
Yeah you’re a weirdo.
I can see your point, but tying both shoes would never ever have occurred to me as an option (unless I noticed the other shoe getting loose too). So I get your colleagues’ surprise.
