Had this happen at work today and my colleagues looked at me like I was a madman for tying both shoes again, instead of just the one that got loose. But doing both shoes again just makes more sense, because you ensure both shoes are equally tight again.

Am I just weird for doing this?

    I usually start off intending to only retie, then I walk around for a bit, get annoyed, and do the other one.

    Your strategy of accepting the inevitable makes more sense which is why I will promptly forget it.

      This is almost the exact reply I was about to write.

      The difference is that if I was in a hurry to do something right before it came loose I will only tie the one, and go back for the other one the time pressure was over.

      But that’s probably true for all of us, so kinda redundant.
