Hi everyone!

Please support my apparel related research. I need lots of data. Please note this is not product related market garbage, but rather just an altruistic examination of a human condition with hopes to benefit all of society.

Bump bump....

I need a few more respondents please.

Strangely enough, even though left-handed people are about 10% of the world population, 40% of my respondents are left-handed. I wonder if there is a correlation between handedness and willingness to participate in meaningless online polls...

I have no idea what the last question means, so I cancelled my response.
You might try describing the alternatives as a square knot or a granny knot.

Yea, I think that might be a problem no matter what. I know what a square knot is (without a bow), but not really sure how that works with shoelaces. And a granny knot??

Maybe it's a regional thing, like 'pop' vs 'soda'...

But thanks for trying!!

It isn't.

I don't know if you are trolling or not, but assuming you aren't, the square knot is what you are trying to tie with your shoelaces. You can look at a shoe and see if it is a square know, because the bows/loops go sideways. If you tied a granny knot, then the loops go up and down. The granny knot will likely slip. that is probably more important than whether someone is left-handed or right-handed.

I would have submitted the poll, but in an attempt to keep my narcissistic tendencies under control I do not Facebook, missed iamrushmans comment above

I thought there was only one way to tie laces--and I'm 62.
