Would You Tell Someone Their Shoe is Untied?

If they have one tied and one untied then I might say something, but if both are untied then I don't say anything to them about it. Chances are if both are untied they want them that way.

Hi, Shar9! I know that I will tell my kids that their laces are untied. But with an older person, I may or may not say anything to. But, if it is an older person, I will tell them. I don't want to see anyone get hurt, so I may open my mouth in a nice way. And if their shoe laces looks like it may cause them an accident, I will tell them about it.

i probably would,as long as they didn't seem a hostile type of person. then,they're on their own. they had a trend up here for a while with the kids doing it on purpose. i saw a kid fall down the stairs at school once doing that.about 10 kids stepped on them at class bell and he fell down the staircase.i guess that's really suffering for fashion..

No, that means I'm looking at their untied shoes. They know they are untied anyway.

I dont think I would tell someone that I didnt know. I will tell my family members. Some people do wear there shoes untied. So I dont think I would mention it.

I agree with whoever said they'd tell the person only if they're someone close - like a friend or family member. I just HAD to respond to this discussion because I was walking into a store the other day - with my sneakers on, yes, and they weren't UNTIED - but loosely tied, and some older lady LAUGHED and said, "honey, your shoes are untied! You'd better lace 'em up unless you want to trip" (or something like that), and I was SO extremely PUT OFF by this. I thought it was incredibly rude and condescending. My advice: don't do what this lady did to me! And besides that fact, who's actually looking close enough to TELL when people's shoes are untied? That seems a little obsessive to me.

I think that people would notice that their shoes are untied and eventually tie them back. I do not notice shoes anyway. Cheers!!

It depends...if it looks dangerous then yes I would tell them. Most likely in any case I would probably whether I knew them or not.

i usually tell whoever. don't want them to fall & break their neck i front of me.

Hi ya Shar19 I think it would depend on who's foot the shoe was on! If the shoe was owned by an elderly gentleman then I would not hesitate in telling him, if it belonged to a youth then probably not as I wouldn't want to embarrass myself due to the latest trend!

Hi shar...I would tell people I work with or people I know. Certainly family members. I don't think I would tell strangers. You never know what kind of response you will get and I'm not up on the latest fashions to know if that's what's "in".

I would tell someone. If they don't notice they could have a chance of falling and hurting themselves. After that if they don't care oh well I tried.
