Hevent worn a tie for any reason other than a funeral in the last 20 years. I refuse. If I show up to work in a T-shirt with no holes I’m dressed up.
Its funny being the only one at the senior staff meeting in an Iron Maiden T while everyone else is suit and tie. Good thing I’m good at what I do
HOW TIGHT ARE THEIR TIES
They’d like to respond but they are choking.
Oh I thought they said they were JOKING before they fainted!
I think they meant choking
Ties make no sense. It’s literally a strip of cloth tied around your neck that serves no useful purpose at all. It’s idiotic that they have managed to survive as a part of modern clothing.
They designate you as a “loyal dog of the company”. They symbolize a leash
Maybe it’s to hide the line of buttons on the shirt.
Neckties belong in business, but not all business. I threw a big stink when I worked at Kohls. Women could wear polos, slacks, etc. Men had to wear dress shirts and ties, slacks or dress pants. It’s retail, ties can get caught on a lot of shit (registers, conveyors, doors, etc). Took a year but the Regional manager finally saw the light and later it became corporate policy. Women also couldn’t wear necklaces for the same reason.
If you tie it that tight you’ll feel the blood pounding in your head and feel like you are suffocating. I can’t imagine someone making it that tight and not immediately loosening it.
It is supposed to be a tie, not a hangman’s noose.
What an idiotic article (and website in general, looks Buzzfeed-tier). From its linked source:
Negative cerebrovascular effects can be expected by compressing jugular veins and carotids
No shit.
by a necktie.
Nobody is wearing a tie that tightly, and even if it is deliberately made that tight when you put it on, it’s not like a noose, it’ll loosen on its own almost immediately as you start moving around. There are no springs in a tie maintaining the tension.
Shirt collars don’t move the way necks do, so it really depends on posture and movement, I’d say my posture was about the best in my day when I was standing in front of a mirror putting the tie on and judging my appearance, and then 20 minutes later I’d be sitting at my desk hunched forward and it would be a lot less comfortable, so I could see it.
Also I remember from hours and hours of starting at old men’s necks in church how their flesh would spill out the backs and sides of their collars while they sat there listening to the preacher.
Highly doubt this for some reason.
How tight are they tying them?!
Mkay.
Remember all those bankers, lawyers, and managers wearing ties each and every day? Now you know why they act like they do.
BTW, the tie not only reduces the oxygen supply to the brain, it also increases the risk of strokes by about 10%.
1 tentie is 75%
Growing up in the Mormon Church, I remember a time some asshole just unilaterally decided to redo my tie in a harsh knot that was too tight. Didn’t ask if it was okay, just went right ahead and decided my own safe, loose knot wasn’t good enough or something.
Just having a complete flashback to that because of this article. Obsession over minute details is just laughably silly when it leads to health problems.
I hope now that you’re grown up you have no need of hysterical frauds like religion?
If you don’t cinch it up too tightly, it’s no more constricting than buttoning the top button on the shirt. Not that wearing one makes any sense, but it’s not trying to kill you, either.
Yeah, I rarely do the top button and rarely keep my tie tight. I’ve got it down to a science to where it looks right, but still loose, because I cannot stand stuff around my neck.
Or, rather, you do stand stuff around your neck with the right motivation.
Money is an excellent motivator.
Don’t tie it so tight 🤷♂️
