This is a great suggestion because while it's obviously not the reason why banana is having lace problems, coriolis will indeed have a fractional impact on our results. If we're walking in a westerly direction, our right foot is more "north" than our left. The ground underneath the left foot is rotating faster than the ground underneath the right, but both our feet are attached to one body and are rotating at the same rate. This means the right foot (the more northerly one) has more rotational energy than the ground underneath it, and might, over the course of a lifetime, mean you have to tie up your right lace one or two times more than your left.
The problem with this is that over the course of a lifetime, and on average, one imagines that neither of our feet will be more northerly than the other. Of course, perhaps banana walks west to work, then gets the bus back because he can't wait to get back home to inject some heroin. This would mean, on average, the right foot is more northerly than the left. So coriolis could have the most fracional of influences, in theory.
