NoSaint Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) Lets say, hypothetically, that you were given a tie by a coworker. Also hypothetically, that this tie wasn't all that stylish. How many times would you wear it around the office before casually retiring it? Edited December 28, 2012 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cugalabanza Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'd say once or twice is sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 approximately 100% of the time. Choice or dress code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Does your line of work have a tradition of cutting the tie of someone who gets promoted? If not, start the tradition. Go to your friend in HR and tell them you need to dump a bad tie. Get them to promote you to some nonexistent position within the office. As part of your moving on up ceremony you can have someone cut your tie. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 code. stuck in a suit. Wear it once. Ruin it. Blame it on the dry cleaner. Its a crappy tie, a normal dry cleaning may bleed out the color anyway. Or you could help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could help it. haha - touche. i think im leaning towards knocking out a couple appearances with it on slow business days between now and spring (say 2-3) making sure she sees it and thanking her and then i can slide it in once in a very blue moon from there (if at all).

Chef Jim Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 (edited) First off it's a secret santa, how do you know who gave it to you? Anyway I wear a suit and tie every day too work so I'm not sure I'd wear it at all if it's really ugly.

BuffaloBud Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Say you thought it was such a good gift that you re-gifted in another secret santa exchange. Or, give it to charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Assuming you don't make a habit of wearing $10 ties, I think once is sufficient before you retire it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramius Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Wait until she's out sick for the day, and the next day tell her you wore the tie but she missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
