Teen Learns What Those Shoulder Straps On Jackets Are For And We Are Shook

When it comes to our clothes, some strange things are just so common that we don't even ask about them. From a button in a random spot on your favorite shirt to that tiny little pocket on your jeans - it's usually just assumed that these are part of the designs, but sometimes, they're more than that. Take, for example, those straps that are on the shoulders of some jackets. They look like they are just a style choice, but it turns out they have a very useful purpose. 

An 18-year-old named Francesca figured out the strap's role and tweeted about it, thinking she was the last person on the planet to learn what it is. Instead, she has blown everyone's mind. 

The strap is there to hold your bag in place while you're wearing the jacket. The reactions were great, as expected:

Someone even gave more info on the mysterious strap:
