    When a shoe lace comes loose and you retie it it is necessary to retie the other shoe as it feels odd if you don't?

    Answers and any other strange questions welcome.

    Probably because laces loosen over time so a newly tied one feels tighter than the already tied one forcing you to do both to prevent it driving you insane :p

    One might argue that I must be insane to ask the question possible driven there because I did not retie the lace on the other shoe at some point in my life.

    Because one is tighter than the other.

    I don't think I've ever done that. I haven't used shoes or boots with laces in years. Definitely don't miss them

    Use double knot, no more loose shoelaces.

    Whilst we are on the subject of weird questions. How is it that at least once a day I will look at the clock to find that all the digits are the same like 4.44 or 3.33 ETC ETC once in a while is likely to happen but every day is spooky. What does it all mean?

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. Unless you see start seeing 6:66 regularly.

    That's a sign your clock is broken.

    Well I seem to see 11:11 most of the time - Does that mean I'm going to have a threesome with 2 lovely ladies?... Lol

    Solution: Velcro

    The Mrs and I see 13:37 pretty often or leet o'clock as it has now become.

    My right foot is bigger than my left in thickness, so the lace always comes loose on my right foot. Never have to re-tie my left lace.

    But....

    I prefer velcro lol

    Laces
    Don't think I've ever done that. I may check to make sure the other is still tight and adjust if necessary, but never undo it just to re-do it again...

    Seriously though, I think it's to do with when you notice something, then notice it again, it seems more significant. Your brain recognises patterns, so although you probably look at loads of the same times every day, repeated numbers stand out more, so every time you see them from now on, they will appear more significant.

    The The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon sorta explains it better.
