I'm talking about those little things. You know what I'm talking about - shoelaces. No matter what you do, how you leave them, and despite your efforts to equalise their lengths, it never quite seems to work.
You wake up the next day, and your shoes are innocently sitting there, acting like they've done nothing wrong. You tentaively pace around it, cautiously poke it from a distance, and when you've satisfied, you step up to it and inspect it further. It looks seemingly okay, when suddenly you are diverted by some event in your whereabouts. And when you look back? - the shoelaces aren't equal. The worst culprit are your sneakers.
And headphones. Those of you who have frequent meetings with our sound-emmiting drugs will find that they have minds of their own. If you leave them all by themselves, you'll find that they favour winding themselves up. It's as if they take the pleasure out of seeing you come back to your ipod/zen/other mp3 player to find that you have to spend at least 5 minutes of vital head-banging time to untangle the headphones.
In fact, all stringey things do this. Ropes, headphones, ties, you name it. Some objects in this world are just not to be trusted.
->How did they get it so neat?
