Very much wanted to do so, partner boycotted the idea. I also realised I’d effectively graffitti-ing our own neighbourhood, and if I took it down and left it on the roadside I’d technically be fly-tipping.

They don't care about the signs as the putting up and taking down of them are outsourced.
Simplest thing is to take it down and take it back into their office. Walk in, dump it in the middle of the floor, walk out.

Just remove it yourself, no-one will care and they're a useful source of that corrugated plastic stuff.

Estate agents, again.
Fucking cunts right? I pulled them up on the blatantly illegal charges they tried to impose and now "the landlord" had decided not to let me move in. Thankfully I've already been subletting for a year and will continue to do so, so fuck them. Also, as soon as everything has been sorted for the next year we're going full scorched earth, fuck you, trading standards on them. I hate people being taken advantage of, even moreso when it's me.

Yep, still cunts.
I can't house my family because some cunt says I'm too poor to view a 1 bed flat. -

Shoelaces. I’ve started hating the poxy things.
Once upon a time, shoelaces were made of cotton (or similar) and were the right length. They stayed done up and weren’t so long they touched the floor or got caught up on stuff. Now they’re so long they dangle in all the piss on the pub toilet floor and they’re made of some nylon fibre with a coefficient of friction of about 0.000000001 and the fuckers never stay done up. They’re even like this on all of my safety boots where you really don’t want to be getting tangled up on stuff, because you’ll trip up and die. THE FUCK.

You are doing the knot up incorrectly. There is a weak and a strong form of the simple bow.

You can still get cotton laces, even better in waxed form. But as James says, there’s a more and less secure way of doing a basic bow knot.

Tie them up and tuck them in to one of the loops between the eyelets.
Started doing this with lace-up cycling shoes for obvious reasons and do it with all me shoes now. -

Just think of laces as an upgrade, and double check you're tying them correctly, for some reason one way is worse.

Was complimented on the speed I tied my laces by a guy in the work shower/locker room the other day. Didn't know what to say in response...

Watch the video on how to tie them, that will stop them coming undone.
Once tied just tuck them into the top of your sock, that way the only piss they soak up is what runs down your own legs. -

Left lace over right and under.
Pull tight.
Now make TWO bunny ears.
Right bunny ear over left one and under, (twice for preference, to further increase friction and knot longevity).
Pull tight.
Undo by a simple firm pull on one of the lace ends.

Knot very well!
There are lots of different knots. I have been fown this rabbit hole a few times, as it transpires there are different bows for different types of laces, eg leather laces on moccasins work best with a specific knot.

40 years of not tying them very well…

And it’s normal, I only discovered that I had been getting my shoelaces wrong in my forties. My mother in law could barely believe she had been doing her laces wrong for nearly 80 years when I explained why her shoes kept coming undone.
Could you get a sharpie and graffiti their signs, add some word to “Peder” or something
