Shoelaces.... What's wrong with them? They're monsters! The always become untied at the most inconvenient moment, like in an escalator (can't spell) or a crowded city street. You can double-knot them, triple-knot them, quadruple-knot them, quintuple-knot them, fuktuple-knot them, whatever! They always find a way to untie themselves! ...Just to be mean. D: Remember Velcro shoes (cool shoes)? You didn't have to experience that rubbish! Or remember Back to the Future 2 (an awesome movie)? The self-lacing Nike shoes? If the year 2015 comes and we don't have those shoes, all I'm gonna say is: WTF! D:<

Sometimes annoying, sometimes handy, shoelaces have always been friends with me.
I double-knot them
Velcro shoes are good too, except when the Velcro starts wearing off <_<.

I' have come up with my own way of tieing shoelaces.

Ow, I would love to have those shoes.

But don't except to see any of them in 2015.
Maybe in 2115.

I agree. Sometimes I triple knot tie them but then they become loose somehow and I have to untie them which is very hard and I gotta do the whole process again. >:[

Mine never come untied. I tie them once and then I just slip them on and off. That and I've found that flat shoelaces stay tied much better than round laces.

I always have trouble retying them because my shoelaces always lose the aglet and go frayed. So I like quadruple-knot them. Neither of my shoes hbve come untied in about a year now. I need to get new shoes. . . .

I used to have to double knot them when I was in elementary school, but now I can do them normally and it's fine.

I had a double knot at Six Flags and I was slipping so I thought it would fall off :P so I had to untie them and tie them again on the stairs, while the line was moving >.<

I once quintuple knotted my shoelaces... Came untied RIGHT as I reached the top of an escalator.

Either the universe is out to get me (And I'm convinced it is), or my shoelaces are in kahoots with my iPod headphones...

They should make shoelaces out of wires for headphones, mine are always knotting themselves up I hate shoelaces too but if you try and get velcro you get treated like a retard for not being able to tie shoelaces.

If you are so mad about them getting untied then get Vans. They don't have laces.
