10 years ago I used youtube to learn how to tie a tie, I've helped others do the same
PigBimpin
I had to tie my brother's tie on the morning of our mother's funeral mass. I'm glad this was under a happier circumstance for this kid.
Ald3
Google it? Hundreds of videos on YouTube..
smitmp024
All that noose tying experience finally came in handy!
McChampion
Makes me wonder if this sort of thing happened before the internet and typing out the story to get fake points or likes
Beshuu
You wonder if people helped people before the internet? I'd say yea, they did.
jesusisherelookbusy
"Is that too tight?" "Harder, daddy!" "What...?" "What?"

I love watching men fix other men's wardrobes. Their atypical lack of self-consciousness about such intimate space is endearing to me.
Kaze101
Sooo many assumptions that this dude doesn't have a father figure. My dad didn't know how to tie a tie, I learnt from mum and friends...
TheGrumpyViking
I worked as a bouncer in a club for 14 years… And I helped many many young men with their ties...not every father teaches this stuff anymore
TotallyNotYourTeacher
There's a joke waiting here. I'm not brave enough.
AndreiAnonim
And after they killed him
LordVaper420
Was there no internet?
AssistantToTheRegionalManagerDwightSchrute
This is obviously fake, I live in PA and I have never seen this man in my life
nakedangel
That's very kind.
CaffeineManic
My father was off on deployment when I needed instruction about ties. So, went to the neighbor.
aap71
is that how you got molested? That's terrible.
CaffeineManic
Nope, totally escaped childhood and adulthood with no molestation from anybody anywhere. Boring, huh?
aap71
you're not out of the woods yet. c'mere...
CarpeSaeculum
I work as an usher at my university's auditorium and I do this for some of our younger guests. Warms my heart seeing their gratefulness. :)
toystory2was0k
Maybe he has a dad that does not know how to tie a tie himself...
superatheist
I urge guys to sign up to the big Brothers program. There are a lot of kids needing male role models out there.
fluhatinrapper
Yup, yup, yup
Solivoid
You urge the majority of anxiety-infested imgurians to play as a role model?
YouKillBugsGoodRigo
One of the best decisions I ever made!

tie a man a tie - help him for a day. Teach a man how to tie a tie - and he steals your job, young punk, experience clearly means nothing!
Shitposting2017
Read that in Ron Swansons voice
DinoHunter56
That comment was a wild ride
wheresthebaby
More where that came from
MerToo
tie a man a tie, and he's tie'd for a day. But lynch a man with his tie, and he's wearing a tie for the rest of his life!
Mayhem007
But technically he's dead, so is that really the rest of his life?
Lucallia
Yes because it was on him til he died thus that was the rest of his life. Never said the rest of his life was very long.
lewaq
you are not wrong.
AwkwardKaffs
By "partner" I thought OP meant gay lover, not ambulance coworker. Whoops.
ForTheSwarm
Why not both?
FreakierChicken
¿Porque no los dos?
ForTheSwarm
I thought about grabbing that gif to respond with, but I was lazy. Soy perezoso.
NR97420
Wait.... This dude asked for advice on a tie from someone with a popped collar?!
NR97420
Good to know responses, that makes sense.
MysteriousLeigh
In general people start ties on themselves and then give it to the person they're teaching, leaving their collar raised.
howcaniinternetgoodificantevenfitinsidethecomputer
That WOULD be douchey. He probably showed the kid on himself then gave it to the kid though.
STGxDante
Why can't ppl just Google it? Seriously that's how I do it.
cookseancook
That's a missed opportunity for sweet sweet internet points
eatandsleep
Same. I googled and learned how to tie a tie for my dad fifteen years ago when he got his first ever office job. (:
Beshuu
You are assuming every one has internet access. Which they don't, not even in the USA.
STGxDante
...stfu
Beshuu
Never. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Howtokillabrand
I can't understand the instructions.
STGxDante
I stand there looking like an idiot attempting 3 different ways, but I get it eventually XD
TotallyNotYourTeacher
You assume they have easy access to internet. If it's north philly, I wouldn't guarantee it.
Phled
Kids these days didn't hear about google?
societyiseffed
Props to this young man for asking for the help.
PickleousCage
It would take balls to ask a cop for something like that I reakon
BelligerantBlueHen
It's an ambulance but yeah
notadisneyprincess
This makes me have some hope.
JunkMonk
Opposite for me. This dude didn't think to check YouTube before wandering out with an untied tie?
OmegaZen
Yeah who knows maybe tomorrow he finds google and it changes his life
OhioSucks
Sad that a cop treating someone like a human being despite their skin color gives us "hope"... but alas, here we are.
dghammer
Not a cop
OhioSucks
Guess that explains why he didn't shoot him.
notadisneyprincess
It's just people being nice to each other. It gives me hope in humanity.
Fefeaage
Hope for what? These types of memes are posted daily.
dreadeyeknight
Implying that white folk can sometimes be helpful....

Thank you. I'm glad this is not another rude comment.
tazlah
Heartwarming!
WholesomeAsFuck
It's just some dude tying a tie.
HickoryDickoryDoc
The officers collar is up. That's the tie it on my neck first then put it on you technique. better than the ol reach around
wheresthebaby
That's how I show ppl too
AlmightyDiapahbetusGarlicGerbil
I thought that was a display of prey drive..
Zandrake
I just realized it might be worthwhile to learn how to tie a tie on another person without doing a reach-around. I gotta figure this out.
callmethelizardqueen
I learned how in HS, as a female it's really handy especially since I have 2 boys. Even hubby isn't that good and asks sometimes.
MrJackedBroccoli
I was going to comment the same thing. Much easier
GyRoScOpIcPrIsM
"The officer". Once again, we take back seat to law enforcement or fire getting credit. Lol
AfroSamuraiRM
Nah, he's just the cool kid from down the block.
NutellaPancakeKing
i agree
morkwill
Over under over through is how i remembered. Get the fat part of the tie down lower.
SeriouslyAwkward
Or maybe, he gave him the tie he was wearing. Why he was wearing a tie, I have no idea but MAYBE
Evilt1m
I would prefer the ol reach around
Fearcutsdeeperthanswords
As a gal, I was taught how to tie a tie on another person
Threewisemen
Better? Psh.....pls
ThySausagePrince
My best man did this for me with my tie at my wedding.
jiynxed
to be fair, who gets any practicing tying it on someone else?
callmethelizardqueen
I used to put ties on my cat. I was a lonely child.
youresorttorepostingcomments
Paramedic Officer?
StunnedGoofy
They are really tied to the people..... Literally....
MrDrWatson
Saving lives...this also counts.
youresorttorepostingcomments
Still not an Officer.. that's not their title
Chrissss
Paramedics always pop their collars. It's part of our uniform regulations. ALS stands for "Always Lookin' Stylish"
CrazyWithTheCheeseWiz
TIL
harambesghost18
There should be an imgur movie titled: TIL. @sarah balls in your court I'm ready to start filming.
BanadecCamberbootch
In nursing school, and we did a group exercise where we discussed stereotypes about medical professionals: 1/
BanadecCamberbootch
For paramedics, one guy submitted "Wears Oakley shades, has a G-Shock watch, drives a lifted Chevy, wakeboards". Shit was lost en masse.
Chrissss
Completely true. Also picture Batman-esque utility belts, leatherman raptors, and Skoal Wintergreen being spit into a Monster can.
200percentjesus
Shit dude I should change my major. This is basically me
MelonDramatic
He's a paramedic
LargeVarge
He looks like the type of guy to tie another mans tie with out the common decency to give him a reach around.
shartsicle
Better? Says who?
FirstPostMcGee
It makes me sad that he had to ask a stranger for such a personal bit of assistance.
StarryPlough
You make it sound like he's washing his balls or something. It's just a tie.
rvt2
It makes me happy that this guy has the courage to ask, he is going to make it in life.
LoveBigD
He's never met his dad
BavarianGuy
Learned it at the military, that and shooting 7,62x51 NATO at 1200 RPM is a whole lot of fun. 2 really helpful knowledges.
MaggieB12
But it makes me happy that he asked and was answered in this way.
pronoun
He was probably on his way there and forgot about it or something.
OrcSkinSuit
I had a much older neighbour knock on our door once asking me for assistance. Some people have never needed to until something changes life.
SayMeowAgain
I think its sad he didn't go with a bow tie... really a wasted opportunity.
Sawsomebullshit
I'm 30 and I still don't know how to tie a tie.
Mavgurian
38 - worst thing you could do, were to untie my tie in the closet and let me keep standing should I ever need one. ^^
Maaaaaaate
True, but good on him for seeking some help with it instead of just giving up.
EuNuSunt
A girl taught me back in like 7th grade...doesn't really matter who does it, but chances are you're gonna remember it forever.
ojp1977
True, but I'm glad someone was able to help him at least
methamphetamemez
I was never taught, but I just googled that shit and made the tie my bitch
ravi893
My 6th grade teacher insisted on us having a tie day, if it wasn't for that I wouldn't have known how to tie one (til i searched oninternet)
demonic
i'm almost 30 and still don't know how to tie a tie, tho i'm sure youtube could teach me.
Oldewolf
That's because the black communities has too many deadbeats for a father. That is the primary source of black kids downfall.
holycheeseandcrackers
You need help with your hate. He only needed help with a tie. Guess who is the better person?
humanburger
Probably didn't grow up with a dad. Not a racist thing, my dad died when I was 10 and I never learned how to tie a tie.
Gherkincensed
I taught myself how to tie and tie and to shave, just wasn't something I felt I needed my dad, or step-dads, help with.
humanburger
Yea I taught myself how to shave. Tying a tie is difficult and it took me years to figure it out. Internet wasn't around when I was young.
TrapsAreIllegal
Yeah, he could have just googled it like a normal person
drummergirl83
Maybe he doesn't have a computer or internet.
nakedangel
Why? Butlers still exist.
astrangehop
I actually used askjeeves to learn how to tie a tie.
nakedangel
Good man Jeeves.
nakedangel
Women used to and still do tie their husbands' ties for them.
BearBombs
Lol, yeah that's probably it. This kid usually has a butler do it for him, but he just recently got really sick at an inconvenient time.
nakedangel
No, I don't think he has a butler.
storebrandproductmascot
I mean, if you got a blue collar dad, it's possible he's only worn a tie a few times in his life & doesn't know. Nothing wrong with that.
jezzey
I have to tie my father-in-law's (retired electrician) as he's only needed to wear one about 5 times and his dad never had to.
rookiefdb
or no dad ha i have never learned how to do it and got my date for prom to do mine for me haha
TheShittierBeatles
I had to ask my date's father to help me tie mine. He was extremely kind about it and as far as I know he never told her he had to help me.
zflazeda
*sentimental. Nothing "personal" about it
ProfanePag
I asked the bus driver in my street to tie my tie for prom. Since then I have collected a gret tie collection, and I can tie it on my own.
Hotwaterbottle
Gret Ide!
QueenAmy
It'd be funny if you have a great tie collection and he still ties them for you
Zodi
"Hey man I need you to tie my tie!" "YOU'VE BEEN COMIN TO ME FOR 37 YEARS"
CMFMTNPPL
I watched nearly a thousand videos just to learn how
mowerguy
I too was raised by Google/youtube
IcommentMostlyWithGifs
I watch one video 1000 times to tie my tie and i watch it another 1000 times the next time i try to tie my tie. I hate to tie a tie.
ElPoloDiablo
Images helped me more than videos, but then I only know how to do half-Windsor.
NZSheeps
I just buy ties with the elastic
Bugleisthebomb
For shame! Shaaaaame
NZSheeps
Used to work with people who were potentially aggressive, so it was a safety thing. Never got out of the habit (and I hate ties in general)
Bugleisthebomb
That's fair enough then, im guessing either law enforcement or prison guard?
ReleaseTheKracken
I was forced into a religion as a kid and one time i was bored during their talking and went into the bathroom and undid it slowly 1/2
ReleaseTheKracken
And then redid it. And forced myself to learn. Asked a couple people for some pointers and do a fairly decent job now

JudgeNotByTheColorOfOnesSkinButByTheContentsOfOnesDumps
No but ppl often have to dress up. Even though Jesus said "come as you are" parents still get into their "Sunday best". Its the worst
ratgirl97
I think it's better that he learned to not be afraid to ask! Whoever did raise him taught him that & that's great. Some kids are too afraid
justarandombloke
He who asks a question is a fool for a minute. He who never asks is a fool for a lifetime.
DeepAnalTongue
Excellent perspective. +1
MultiplePersonalitiesProfile
Well said mate.

My parents always encouraged me to ask questions to strangers. I must have been a weird and nosy kid to many!

sprinklesmeow69
I couldn't agree more with this. I love your outlook, I wish there was more people like you
mynameismoreoriginalthanyours
You really cheered me up. Thank you for being positive.
therealjosh4fun
What you said is brilliant. When you realize you can't teach your kids everything due to whatever, teach them how to ask.
DesertBloom
I wouldn't be able to ask for directions if I was lost.
tehPhreakmang
This right here, I always tell my kid there is no shame in asking how to do something. That's how we learn.
FuriousDawg11
What a nice positive way to look at it
awesomekev408
We at /r/wholesomememes look at everything that way, it's a nice way to live.
fatchicksneedluvintoo
38 yo mother of 2 here...still afraid to ask for personal assistance of any sort :/

Your positivity disgusts me, I find it difficult to disagree however.

It's great that he asked, but not better, IMHO.

I like this. My wife's mom is a very reserved person, but she made sure to teach my wife to talk to people.
ElephantSizedDuck
As someone who grew up with anxiety, I would always be too afraid to ask questions incase people thought I was stupid. I wish I got past it
Arthuaa
Does everyone have anxiety nowadays?
DongSayaDae
As someone with anciety id rather ask a stranger to help me, rather than letting my parents/friends know i cant tie a tie.
Igetashittonofpussyandimrich
Who can tie a tie nowadays? You aren't a special case.
ElephantSizedDuck
It's funny how it can effect the thought process so differently
SuperClaws
Same, it sucks when you are more open to strangers than those meant to be close to you.
LazyTheAssCat
Jeez folks, came here for cute shit to relax, leaving with rekindled anxiety over my anxiety. Figures.
babygirlzozo
One thing I teach my kids is: It's alright to talk to strangers. Just don't go off with strangers.
