These Boots Are Getting The Boot

(My girlfriend recently got me a pair of boots that have buckles and laces to adjust their fit, but use a zipper to actually get them on/off.)

Me: “GAAAHH!”

Girlfriend: “What?”

Me: “I keep forgetting about this d*** zipper and untying my laces instead! Then I have to re-adjust them all over again!”

Girlfriend: “Why don’t you double-knot them?”

Me: “I hate double-knotting laces; they’re impossible to untie!”

Girlfriend: “I thought that was the point?”

Me: “Shut up…” *double-knots laces*

(Some days/weeks later…)

Me: “AAARGH!

Girlfriend: “What?”

Me: “I UNTIED MY F****** LACES AGAIN!”

Girlfriend: “Why don’t you just double-knot them?”

Me: “I DID! I UNTIED THEM ANYWAY!” *frustrated grumbling as I re-tie them yet again*
