Once a year if I'm unlucky.

Only when I go to court...so, maybe once every three months.

Use to be 46 days a year - on 4 section military duty I had to wear a suit and tie every fouth day though the winter uniform half of the year.

The next time will be at my wake!

Just about every day except Saturday!

(Wow, that should stop speculation about my being Jewish, eh?)

Had a job in a previous life where I wore a tie every day for 8 years.

Now only for weddings and funerals. And not weddings if I can help it. [:D]

Federal Govt Job here. Years ago, we wore them every day. Then we had casual Fridays, about 3-4 years ago we went casual every day.

0 times a year now for work.

0 times a year for normal daily wear.

It just occurred to me that the three least trusted occupations in America -- politician, lawyer, and car salesman -- all have a necktie as part of their usual apparel. Coincidence?

I used to wear a tie everyday, but this school year I decided to stop wearing them.

So far, nobody has complained, and now even the techs are "tieless".

Weddings, funerals, "board meeting" days at work (even though I don't sit in the meetings) and the occasional Sunday when I lead music at church. Probably less than 20 times a year.

Sometimes I wear one when the Mrs. & I get rid of the kids for a night & go out to dinner....
('cause that's special too!)

I had to vote NEVER, though I do wear one every 5-10 years for JOB INTERVIEWS.

Once I'm in, the tie is HISTORY. [:D]

used to 5 days a week. now it's
job interviews, formal weddings, and funerals.

Posted: 2/12/2002 7:28:34 AM EDT

[#13]

I wore one last month to a job interview, hopefully that's it for this year, meaning no funerals or any more interviews.(I got the job.)

Posted: 2/12/2002 7:37:27 AM EDT

[#14]

Mon-Thurs. but sometimes I get away with just going in biz casual

Posted: 2/12/2002 7:40:44 AM EDT

[#15]

Funerals & formals. NEVER at work, I don't want them to get the wrong idae about me.

Posted: 2/12/2002 7:43:38 AM EDT

[#16]

Funeral, formals and at work.

I wear one and keep it under my bibs, I found the big wide ones make the best napkins. When I sit down to eat at the local choke and puke, I pull it out and place it in front of my bibs,(hate to get food on my bibs) after lunch I do a quick wipe and stick it back in my bibs and I'm on my way. Saves on trees too don't you know. I like my naked woman one holding a can of PBR the best. He Haw

I realized when I took off some time around Thanksgiving that those 5 days were the longest I had gone without wearing one in many years.

Posted: 2/12/2002 11:45:01 AM EDT

[#19]

3 times in my life. So I guess I qualify for NEVER!

Posted: 2/12/2002 11:52:44 AM EDT

[#20]

2 0r 3 times a year, max.

6 out of 7 days a week. work n' church and work n' church...

I used to wear one at work, until a memo came down that all techs are to either wear clip-on ties or no ties. Apparently we almost lost a tech when his tie got caught in a huge line printer (the thing was the size of half a VW bug) and had to cut the tie to get out of the printer.

Of course I choose no tie. Since then I only wear them for the funeral, wedding, and interview. Maybe for the occasional (VERY occasional) date.

Since I'm one of the un-educated, low-life, blue-collar scum construction-worker types [:D]-I only wear a suit and tie to funerals and weddings. Unfortunately, funerals see the most use.

Posted: 2/12/2002 8:29:31 PM EDT

[#24]

Do clip-ons count as ties?

Posted: 2/15/2002 1:47:45 PM EDT

[#25]

Necktie? Is that even a word? I'm not all that fond of tying something around my neck.

Posted: 2/15/2002 2:03:25 PM EDT

[#26]

Every damn day at work and usually on Sunday. I hate the things. Watch-Six

Posted: 2/15/2002 2:10:20 PM EDT

[#27]

Hah. Not with BDU's. I do have to wear class A's every now and then. Does a clip on count?

Posted: 2/15/2002 3:02:21 PM EDT

[#28]

The only time I've ever worn a tie was at my aunts funeral when I was 15. I haven't worn one since. Not at my wedding, and not at any other funerals either.

As a matter of fact I've never actually worn a suit either. NEVER.

Am I the only one?

Posted: 2/15/2002 3:14:09 PM EDT

[#29]

Of [b][i]course[/i][/b] clip-ons count! But I do advise you adhere to a "don't ask, don't tell" policy while wearing one. [:D]

Posted: 2/15/2002 3:22:02 PM EDT

Well I own 2 ties - I liked the designs. Haven't worn one in years.

Necktie is a VERB.

The necktie---the "leash of civilization".

Posted: 2/16/2002 4:58:35 AM EDT

I don't even wear one for funerals & weddings.

I don'teven know how to tie one. The only time I have had any trouble with this was during formal nights on the cruise ship.

Occasionally to work and sometimes to church.
