Thinking Out of Box

I have an old laptop bag, which I am using it for last 6 years. This bag has three compartments one big compartment where I put my lap top and two other small compartments. The large compartment zip has two zipper for closing the compartment. Since the large compartment has two zipper it can be closed in clockwise and anticlockwise direction. I usually close the bag in anticlockwise direction and I do not use the other zipper. And now it have a problem with its zip. When I try to close the zip it will not close properly and I usually take a lot of time adjusting the zip for closing it. It can be repaired but I am too lazy to take this bag to repair shop. This is the situation and I will explain what is thinking out of box and importance of it in the paragraphs below.
