Interesting insight Mega, I love how i always learn new things on the forum.
I hate it much less now, even though most people live in close proximity to somewhere that sells shoelaces these days.

I do it if my laces force me to, otherwise no

Though perhaps not shoe laces of the desired quality.

I think it suits some shoes&boots to wrap the laces around before tying them. I do it on my Yuketens and sometimes on my Chucks when I’m too lazy to tie them completely.
Some of my boots are too small in the instep so I have to remove the laces from the upper eyelets and when I’m in a hurry I just wrap the laces around the heel.

I only do it on my Smokejumpers because the laces are flippin' long.  No one sees it though.  I wrap them through the pull tab for added (though unneeded) stability.

I wear velcro shoes , so no need to be close to a shoe lace provider .  Ha ha

[bagley920]

Ahhhh he got the Velcros!!

It drives me fuckin crazy that the laces on my Wolverine 1ks are juuuuust too short to wrap them around the boot. I don't really have strong feelings for/against looping laces, but mine just make big floppy bows. I would rather have laces either a few inches shorter or longer. I'm in a no-mans land full of silly-looking shoestrings.

…..maybe this post belongs in rants.

Just tuck them into the collar of your boots. Problem solved

I don't understand men using tote bags. Messenger bags are effeminate enough, but totes? Really?

This is totally cool in €urope though as we're all ponces here.

I would rather get wet than navigate a city with a big fuck off piece of shit umbrella. I often suppress the urge to beat those dopes who believe their umbrella is a force field and I'm supposed to make room for them if I come within range. Makes me mildly happier when I see one destroyed by the tamer winter elements, shoved in anger into a bin.

We should have a bouncer for this thread who refuses the pussies entrance…

Perhaps some kind of questionnaire is in order, a checklist for ponces if you will... "Do you listen to Radiohead" could be a good first question. If the answer is "Yes", then alas, a swift kick to the bollocks followed by being thrown out of the thread would follow...

I have six Radiohead albums.

I'll get me coat.

[Max Power]

Radiohead is a total blind spot for me. I only know the song creep. Call me ignorant, I can live with it.

[trail and arrow]

ok,
today i will go and try to outlive the day by listening to radiohead under a umbrella whilst carrying a tote bag full of nailpolish!

I bought a TADgear dispatch bag for that purpose. No way I was carrying a fecking petunia pickle bottom.
