Years ago I was walking through downtown when my old shoes collapsed on me. I walked into the first shoe store I saw (Ecco, good brand luckily). While trying on shoes, the clerk had the gall to ask me if I knew how to tie my shoes and then proceeded to actually explain step by step, how to tie a pair of shoes. Well, joke's on me, his way is better, and now it's the only method I use. On exiting nice dinner parties I have to stop myself mansplaining to my friends about proper technique. How one shoe salesman changed my life.
