Don’t tell anyone but I’m 35 years old and still can’t tie my shoes the way everyone else does. I was having trouble with it and my dad taught me a different way. I still do it that way. I have trouble with ties to. At basic I made sure to be in front and have my tie used as a demonstration tie for how to tie the knot when we got our dress uniforms. That knot stayed in my tie for the next 6 years. Well it’s probably still in it wherever the tie is.
