This makes the business world and politicians make sense.
HOW TIGHT ARE THEIR TIES
Not tight enough for my tastes. I would tighten them all the way.
puts on tie and pulls the knot so tight it cuts off air to my lungs
“tImE tO Go tO wOrK”
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
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.
What? It’s a piece of fashion: it doesn’t need a “purpose”. You want to wear monocolor onesie jumpsuits everywhere?
I’d argue fashion is a waste of human effort IMO.
Make functional outfits and comfortable ones. Literally nothing else. “Formal” should not even be a word at all, much less a genre of clothing.
Designers making wearable art pieces is kinda silly, but it gets by with being art, but that’s as far as I’ll allow the line.
Saving a useless accessory that’s been mandated for certain jobs/purposes is actually obscene to me. It being “fashion” is no help, and given that it’s the only reason it exists, it should be fucking deleted from our awareness.
Fight me.
Fight me
I will not fight you, I agree with what you said
You dare directly go against what I said? That’s it!
A duel at dawn, then.
If someone wants to wear one of their own choice, that’s fine. It shouldn’t be mandated. The issue I have is that wearing a strip of cloth around your neck somehow makes you a “professional” in the eyes of others, and not wearing one means you are being “unprofessional”.
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.
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.
Oh great so it’s only utterly pointless and uncomfortable.
This is my privileged white guy battle that I will fight to my final day. Yes it is low stakes, but it is a battle someone needs to fight. I will never wear a tie, and I will view anyone who does as choosing to uphold one of the biggest systems of oppression I regularly deal with.
Wouldn’t the tie keep you a little bit warmer while you’re on the cross?
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.
