Poll: Do the Escapists know how to tie a tie?

[cptn ricardo]

My school forced us to wear ties. So it was learn to tie it or suffer detention for looking "scruffy".

Since it's the 17th of May today and that means that Norwegians jump in their suits and tie ties, I started wondering; How many Escapists knows and doesn't know how to tie a tie?

Heyyy, fellow Norwegian. Gratulerer med dagen, hipp hurra and all that jazz. No, I have no idea how to tie a tie. I even failed it playing Heavy Rain.

Yes I can tie a tie. To those who say they can't I'd suggest learning. It took me about 10 minutes to learn, and is a useful skill for both men and women.

 

[merc hunter]

Yeah, after 2 years of refusing to tie my own tie at high school (year 11-12) I decided I better learn for the school formal and goddammit I just cant forget how to tie a tie now that iv left.

 

[ClunkiestTurtle]

19 and never worn a tie, don't know how and probably never will....

 

[Code_Red]

Yes, I had to wear a tie as part of my school uniform.

 

[Beryl77]

Nope. I never had to wear a tie until last week. Some students organized an event at my school, where every student should wear a suit at that day. I tried to do it myself but I completely failed, so I had to ask my father to help me and I still can't do it.

 

[Baneat]

How can't you? it's 5 steps

 

[Hashime]

I'm trying to learn, but right now, as I do not own a tie, I will continue my current system: get my dad to put it on, tie it, steal it from him still tied.

 

[LaughingAtlas]

Bah, Ties! Just pre-applied strangulation tools. I understand that a few centuries ago, richer people might wear similar things to show status or what not, but today I think it's pretty much "Does everyone have their fashionable noose? Can't have a monkey suit without the neck handle!" Looks plain silly, I think, might as well wear a leash.
Anyway, yes I think I know how the preposterous things are applied. If any, though, a bow tie seems sensible. The "handle" would be so short you might be better off grabbing their shirt or neck.

 

[Trebort]

I keep trying, but I always fail. I need to master this... because I love collecting ties. Irony!

 

[Random Argument Man]

Yes, but it usually takes two or three tries for me to get it right because I don't wear one very often.

This applies also to my case. I´m not a fan of those formal dresses so I wear a tie very rarely, but I can still make a half-way decent Windsor knot.

Awwww...That's too bad. I wanted to wear a tie. We could've gone and brought sexy back.

 

[RedBeta22]

Yep. I had to wear one and tie it myself every week for church growing up. So glad i dont have to do that anymore. But yeah, I can tie a tie. A normal neck tie, not a bow tie. Fuck Bow Ties.

 

[The Eggplant]

Bowtie, cravat, AND standard, all without the benefit of a private and/or boarding school.

[sub]Actually, that makes me feel like even more of a loser...[/sub]

 

[I Resurection I]

Never seen the reason to know why, I don't have an office job so I don't have to right now.

I myself learned it today, thanks to an app on my Nokia Phone.

A girl tought me and I look damn good with one. My father used to say "I don't know who wakes up each morning to tie a noose around their neck."

 

[DividedUnity]

Under, over, in and out. That's what shoe tieings all about!..oh wait

 

[thylasos]

Since I was... 6, I believe.

 

[Beartrucci]

Nope, my school uniform requires me to wear a tie, but I just get someone to tie it up for me then never undo it. I really should learn how. Ah well can't be bothered.

 

[RamirezDoEverything]

i just came back from a track banquet and I had to have my father help me complete the tying of the tie...
