When did Pittsburgh get trains?
So? So can a reef knot: if one line is pulled taut then the other line can slip along it.
Tell it like it is.
Forget the scarf getting dirty…I would be more concerned about it getting caught in something.
That would make for a really interesting news story though.
It is technically a light rail. Goes from downtown to the outer neighborhoods like Dormont and Mount Lebanon. Everyone I know calls it a train.
Mostly I just hate interacting with strangers and knowing that people can see and are looking at me. It makes me self conscious and paranoid. And yes I should just suck it up but also, maybe people should spend a little less time looking at one another’s clothes. And no I’m not going to schedule in more time to accomodate nebby noses. (Although to be fair, this doesn’t happen every day or anything. I just felt like posting because I was stopped by one woman and fixed my shoes and like five minutes later they came undone and I was stopped by somebody else. It gets frustrating. And also I don’t double knot my shoes, old habits die hard.)
Christ on a cracker! How fucking long does it take you to tie your shoes?
I’m not familiar with mass transit amenities out there, but she does mention that this is an issue on mornings after she has spent the night at her boyfriend’s home. Perhaps her boyfriend lives in an outlying community that has train service to a place where she can take a bus for the remainder of her journey.
Or you know, you could give yourself more time so you’re not running around like an idiot, possibly endangering yourself.
:rolleyes:
Jesus, you know what traffic is like in Pittsburgh!!! Are you trying to win a Darwin Award?
If an elevator begins to move while you’re in the gap, there’s no guarantee that it’s going to move in the direction that makes the gap BIGGER, you know.
You might end up with half a mind to write a letter to the building maintenance supervisor.
I think you’re missing the point. You should schedule more time so that you do not have to run through crowds with vestments rampant. Poor form, and rather pointless. If getting up 5 minutes earlier makes the morning commute more serene, where is the sacrifice in that?
Getcha some of these, davenportavenger, and you won’t have to worry about it again.
Maybe people don’t want to see you trip on a shoelace or scarf end and fall under the bus/train while you’re rushing about all undone?
I personally don’t “check out” clothes often, but I do watch for potential hazards, and that includes trailing scarves, women dragging long coats down the stairs ahead of me that I might step on if I’m not careful, people letting those black wheeled bags trail way behind them in a crowd, and yes, even the stray flopping shoelace now and then. Perhaps those concerned citizens are also watching out for themselves and others, not just you. Would you prefer they let you know by standing on the scarf or lace themselves and watching you fall?
It sounds like you have worse problems than untied shoe laces. Buy some Merrells and try and do something about your self conciousness. I guarantee you will be 100 times more self concious if you should fall over your untied shoelaces.
This just seems ass-backwards to me. Nothing says “Hey! Look at me!” like untied shoes and a scarf dragging the ground.
Of course, I’m getting to that ‘Kids these days with their baggy pants and their untied shoes…’ stage of my life…
Ask your doctor what benzodiazepines are right for you. I’m a xanax man, myself.
Bolding mine.
Why is not leaving yourself enough time ‘natural’?
Bolding mine.
Sprinting is not walking.
Sprinting around with untied shoelaces is likely to cause an accident.
If the untied shoe fits…
Me too. The other day a complete stranger nodded at me and said, “hi,” and I nearly went catatonic. I’m sick of people acting like I’m the one with a problem.
