I am a 40 year old man, who has only just learnt how to tie my shoelaces properly. I have spent my entire life using the two bunny ear approach. My 8 year old daughter recently explained how to tie laces like an adult.

@fesshole I was in my fourties when I learned that there are two mirrored ways of making the knots, one way gives a secure tie and the other keeps slipping loose.

Thanks to the internet I taught myself to change a 40 year habit overnight.

@idiot @fesshole here! Here! The knot is so much more secure: perfect for running, good looking.
