I'm intrigued about what kind of tie would impress a waiter that much

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Giraffes.

I don't have many ties, and the one I was going to wear turned out to he dirty (dry cleaned my shirt and suit, overlooked the tie), so I grabbed my Dad's favourite tie which he would have worn if he'd still been with us. So it was a lot more meaningful and close family understood the symbolism. The waiter must just like giraffes.

Nice, that's cool. My ties are more boring than that. Maybe I need new ones.

I have a black one for funerals and a silver one from my brother's wedding, so I am not a tie aficionado.

Anyway, I thought I'd better show off the tie:

I don't care much for ties generally, but I like that one. I think it would catch my attention if I were waitering :)

Dad liked it because it was jaunty without the whacky uncle vibes you'd get from, for example, a Tasmanian Devil tie.
