To be fair, I'm only ranting because, even after wearing a tie day to day for 2 years, I still can't tie one the first try, it always takes me 2-3 attempts to get it perfect
I hear ya. I wore a tie every day for asa long as I can remember. I decided to go more casual for my current position and nobody is making a peep since I'm at the top of the sales ladder. I still put one on occasionally when meeting with a new client.

Its funny how people have completely different reactions to the same thing. I'm one of those guys that wears a shirt and tie to work not because I have to, but because I like wearing a tie.

I know, all my coworkers think I'm weird as well LOL.

I genuinely enjoy neckties. I don't have a lot of necessity for them, but I do think they're rad...

I am the same way. I get excited when I get to put on a suit and tie for job interviews. I love getting dressed to the 9s

I had a biology teacher who used to say that everything that has a form has a function. He always made a point of tugging on his tie and saying, "Except this."

But a mean old bolo tie with a turquoise encrusted steer skull always makes an impression.

I too, wear a suit and tie every day. I own my own business, so I mostly do it because A.) I'm so used to it from being a 7 year veteran of Wall Street, and B.) because I like to

I know it sounds strange but being my own boss, I tend to go out of my way to dress up just because I *can*.

Suit and tie job. Told the wife that if I die before her and she buries me in a tie, I'm coming back to haunt her. Can't stand the thought of spending enternity in a tie.
