Has anybody ever dared to pull off wearing a clip-on tie in the office?

Surely you can find one that looks like the real thing. Besides, why go through the extra 10 seconds of your life when you can do it in 1? Time is a very valuable commodity to waste in the world of high finance. The perfect knot comes from a clip-on tie, but if caught with one you may or may not be laughed out of the building. Has anybody been bold enough to wear one?

Get the fuck out.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.

Why would you ever do that? No male above the age of 5 should wear a clip on, and they should only do it because a real tie would be a strangling hazard.

Good point. With all the riots that have taken to the streets lately, it could be seen as a safety precaution as well.
 

I wore a clip on tie when I worked at McDonalds.

Nowhere else.

Wearing a clip on tie is like going to the ladies toilet with your mother.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.

I do. Everyday to the office. I love it.

He said clip on, not strap on.

'Corruption? Corruption is government intrusion into market efficiencies in the form of regulations. That's Milton Friedman. He got a goddamn Nobel Prize.'
