Today, I was spending some time alone out in the countryside, when I glanced at my boot. I saw a snake, screamed, ran like hell for my car, tripped over my own feet, and smashed my kneecaps. Upon further inspection, I realized the "snake" was my loose shoelace. FML

So there was not, in fact, a snake in your boot?

How messed up do shoelaces have to be to look like a snake?

If you can mistake your shoelace for a teeny-tiny, itty-bitty, little snake, you have deeper issues than smashed kneecaps.

Don't feel too bad. I live in a desert area an have a cousin who, if she hears anything even remotely similar to a rattle, will jump up on the highest object she can get to in half a second and screech until we find whatever it was and prove its not a rattler. She does this no matter where we are, including a hospital cafeteria. It took ten minutes to convince the security guards of what she was doing and another ten to figure out what it was. The guards were laughing to hard to help!

There's 3 kinds of people in the world when it comes to snakes on their shoes. 1: Runs away 2: Tries to smash it with the other foot 3: The ones who actually stop to make sure it's a snake and not a shoelace

Does "spending some alone time" mean masturbation in this context?

The real Kira wouldn't make such a mistake

Any snake that's as thin as a shoelace, even a boot lace, is pretty unlikely to be a threat, don't you think? Next time take a breath, look again, and tie your shoes.
