Tony, That brings a number of images to mind. Most of which cause my eyes to water and my nose to run. So I will not endulge these fantasies lest I saturate my aglets (if I stored any spares there).

The only thing I'd decide is if that person was anal-retentive. lol I've never considered aglets as a personality definition...

I suppose you have buckle shoes.
I thought aglets were meant to be worn around the waist. 
See William Style of Langley.
EDIT: From Science Daily: "A review of relevant literature and paintings from European sources revealed that the most likely origin of the tubes was not beads but strung together lacetags, or aglets, from European clothing. From the 15th century onwards, these were used to prevent the ends of laces from fraying, and to ease threading in the points for fastening clothes such as doublets and hose. Examples of such usage include a 1636 portrait of William Style of Langley (Tate Gallery, London), which depicts the use of aglets in his waist to secure his trousers through his jacket."

Somehow I missed this thread until now.
Must have thought it involved small eagles or something. Anyway you can tell I'm reading the posts in reverse order now:
THAT explains the look on your face! lol

My favorite Franklin Mint statue shows a bald aglet in flight with one perfect tear in its eye, wolves carrying American flags in their mouths running below, all superimposed on a cut glass etching of the WTC with gold inlay spelling out "Never Forget".
