Yeap - a bit of my shoe lace broke just after tying them once on a work morning. I had to run to catch a bus, but instead I stood on my shoe lace mid stride, fell and slid across a petrol station driveway. Spent the bus ride trying not to bleed on the seats and had to apply disinfectant and remove stones from the flesh wound at work.

Anyway it was embarrassing but it taught me a valuable lesson - shoe laces can wear out and break.
