So you can see the Hermès chariot.
Probably this. I know a guy that does this all the time at the bar. Faggot.
what's worse, the skinny tie with the loose knot. so faggy.
Skinny knit ties with loose knots
almost as bad are the brits that have the big fat knots
boy is that ugs
never seen the tie over the shoulder here though, people just don't do that, but i agree that sounds like serious douche moves
The enormous knots are hilarious. They think they look stylish when they actually look like huge douches.
I just started seeing it lately. We just had this British faggot move over here and he insists on pounding his heels into the ground as he walks by briskly as if he's super fuckin important. And atleast once or twice a day he likes to whip his tie over his shoulder as he wisks by and slams his office door shut. And apparently its really taking on, not the gay Audrey Hepburn-esque whip over the shoulder of the tie as if its a shawl, but definitely people sitting at their desks with their ties resting on their shoulders as if they're fuckin milling wood with their baller-wannabe ties.
If I'm having tomato soup or taking a piss I'll make sure my tie is out of the way, but c'mon, seriously.
British D Bags with their accents are just the most nauseating thing ever.
I think it should be noted that real Brits will only tie some variation of the windsor.
Is a Double Windsor too big? I have seen the tie over the shoulder thing it is very D-bag like, it will only hurt you in the long run when your boss thinks you are an asshole.
Double windsor is acceptable if you're wearing a spread collar.
it's so your tie doesn't wear down rubbing against the desk.
It's so your tie doesn't get in the way of you rubbing one out under the desk.
Weak
Welcome back Marcus. It's been a while.
Am I missing something? I don't get it...What is the purpose of having your tie over your shoulder?
Only time it is acceptable is as Marcus mentioned, eating or pissing. The wearing out argument is shit unless you dry hump your desk. Who the fuck jams their stomach up to the edge of the desk when working.
Two words...Beer Gut
I'm somewhat guilty of this in banking, and yes a lot of guys do it. I did it becuase my tie would get in the way of my keyboard for some reason, so I just either take it off or toss over the shoulder. It is super DBagish, and now that I'm not in banking I don't even wear a suit anymore, but i can see how its annoying if everyone does it.
Totally off-track here, and probably opening myself up to potential ridicule... but Marcus, please enlighten me as to why you would flip your tie out of the way to take a piss?
I think, based on the generally accepted hatred of all things square-toed on this site, that everyone's tie-end hits at the middle of his belt. Well, the zipper is located below the belt... so... how could you possibly get piss on your tie if it stops at the belt?
Now, dropping a deuce... that's a different story (see below)

Piss splatters when you stand at a urinal. You might not see it, but it does a little. Ties, unlike regular clothes do not get laundered that frequently. Do you really wanna have a piss soaked tie after a couple wearings?
saw this today too. this has to stop.
