Tie Warehouse’s top 5 tie safety tips are:

1) Don't wear a tie in strong winds: it might wrap around your neck and choke you!
2) Don't hover near lift doors when they are closing: your tie might stay on the ground floor while you head for the third floor
3) Tuck your tie in your trousers before eating lunchtime soup: you may end up with no lunch as your tie gets all the soup
4) Avoid complicated tie knots: you might develop RSI
5) Don't run if your tie is lower than your belt: you might trip over it

I would need to see a video of this happening to believe it. Even if some wack job had his tie hanging down to his knees I can't see him tripping over it.

I think you overreacted, she just wanted you to tie her up with something black.

OR

You could of showed up in jeans, a clean white tee shirt and a black clip on tie.

On a similar tie related subject, I always find it annoying when male staff are told to wear a tie for work yet female staff are still allowed to turn up in what ever they like!!

I went to a gala dinner the other evening where the dress code was black tie/ lounge suit, every male looked identical but the women turned up in what ever they wanted.

Why is dress code so one sided and old fashioned!

6) Don't wear let it flop around while sitting next to your fan on a hot day. The fan may suck up your tie, effectively choking you to death in the process.

7) Don't pet a new little kitten or puppy while flopping your tie around, you may find yourself under attack.

8) Be careful to watch your tie when leaning in a window to say goodbye to your wife in the morning as she leaves for work. Especially if your fighting, it may get caught in the window as it's closing, causing an improptu " bring your hubby to work day". For your sake in that case..hope she's a nurse!
