And you just stood there staring dumbly while they did this? I'm sorry but if someone could do this without your noticing then your an idiot.. and if you just let them do it then YDI

No YOU'RE an idiot! If you can't even tell the difference between "you're" and "your", then you have NO place calling someone else an idiot.

Well if you want to be a grammar nazi, then you should be saying 'No, YOU'RE an idiot! If you can't even tell the difference between "you're" and "your", then you have NO place calling someone else an idiot.' You missed a comma. I fixed it.

Haha, nothing beats grammar Nazis making grammatical errors while correcting the grammar of others. Makes my day every time. :P

Don't commas go before quotation marks? You all failed in your own special ways.

@11, you're the idiot. Isn't it possible that the employee had a match/lighter ready? The OP could have turned around and before he could do anything, the employee moved his hand about 2 inches onto his tie. Try thinking.

No tie would just burst into flames. It would take at least a couple of second of direct flame being applied to the tie for it to catch light. Unless it was somehow pre-soaked in flammable liquid.. which again I am sure he would have noticed. You telling me you wouldn't notice a hot spot on your front (from the match/lighter)? If so then your an idiot. Why don't you try thinking first.

Actually, #12 has a point. You won't always notice. My brother and I used to light eachother on fire in random places without noticing. and with a tie? That's not even *on* the body. It's a little further away. Entirely plausible, considering I've burned someone's pants while burning them. Maybe you just suck at making fire.

you must be (in order of likelihood): the victim of a layoff who went batshit insane the worst boss ever wearing the worst tie ever working in a chemistry lab working in a fireworks factory wearing a hemp tie (your employee is wayy to high already)
