Not so great inventions

Are you one of the few people who many times daily have to bend over and reveal your otherwise carefully concealed apple-shaped buttocks to the screaming public just to fix your shoelaces?
Then you’re shoes are probably submitted to the fashion crime that won’t go away. I’m, talking about round shoelaces.
Granted, flat shoelaces may not always look stylish on all shoes, but round ones are a burden of dimensions.
I have a few pairs of shoes that uses round shoelaces, and they are 100% sure to give me a hassle when I walk too much (read: more than 20m). They constantly need attention as they loosen up all the time.
Fact of life: Round shoelaces just won’t stay bound.
