Age 32 and just learned to tie my shoes
This is something I found sad, embarrassing and very cool. I, like most people learned to tie my shoes as a kid and just sort of stopped thinking about it. I don’t believe my style of shoe tying has led to major setbacks in life, but it seems as though I’ve been doing it wrong. And chances are good you still are. What I was taught to tie is called a ‘granny knot’, which appears to be the single most useless knot on the planet. What you want to tie is a ‘reef knot’ which looks almost the same and requires only a slight adjustment in your tying style but will keep people in the know from laughing at you. Added bonus, this one stays tied.

One of the great advantages of tying your shoes correctly is that you don’t have to worry about tripping when you jump the shark, which this site has clearly done as of this article.
