in the past few months I've discovered I was holding chopsticks wrong and that I was tying my shoelaces wrong. never too late to discover you're fucking up some very basic life skills.

chopsticks: I was holding them on a kinda claw-like way, rather than in a better pencil-like way shoelaces: they stay tied better if the first knot & the bow alternate in terms of whether the left or the right side goes over the top
-
this is why when you were a little kid & an adult retied your shoelace, it would stay tied better. not that their technique was better, they'd just automatically do it the other way because they were facing the other way.

as ever, I recommend the #1 site about shoelaces, Ian's Shoelace Site fieggen.com/shoelace/
