DW as been on at me for a while to smarten myself up
Yesterday I went to town shoping.
I know about shopping,you go in shop,pick out item to purchase,try it on for size,purchase and go home happy
So I pick out item and look for trying on room,no sign of room so I ask shop assistant
she says it will fit and I dont need to try it on (It didn't have a size on)
"ok" thinks myself
When I get home I try it on and it is far to tight.It was cutting the blood off to my head and making it go purple
sock,undies have sizes on so why not ties?

I think her cavalier attitude could be very dangerous to shoppers and should I report her for selling ties that are to small and telling shoppers that they will fit?

I don't think you had it tight enough.

Sounds like your head might be the problem, not the tie.

Was your dw "helping" you to put it on? Perhaps she is irritated with you for some reason?

AmazingBouncingFerret · 26/09/2010 20:46

You sound like my boss.

No wonder I feel like handing my notice in...

YANBU - report her immediately - she should be sacked, at the very least re-trained! Alternatively you could do some exercises for your freakishly fat neck Grin

Aren't purple heads desirable, then? Wink

onepieceoflollipop · 26/09/2010 20:50

I thought that too Chaos!

At least there seems to be a change of focus from peppers to ties. Grin

ericshen · 26/09/2010 20:57

I do like this bit Grin. It's a great description of bloke-shopping and the reason I take DD with me and remind DH that there's football on telly!!!

Bet you didn't read the instructions properly

JuicyLips · 26/09/2010 21:19

ties are different sizes?! Am I missing something here? confuuused.

StealthPolarBear · 26/09/2010 21:21

Did she show you the very trendy "noose knot" by any chance?

ericshen · 26/09/2010 21:27

I know ties come in different shapes and sizes but I am talking about the diameter of the neck S,M,L XL
It is obvious this woman sold me a small one when I needed a medium
