My thesis defense was canceled and I had to reschedule because I wasn’t wearing a tie even though I was already wearing the university’s almamater, they still rejected my entry. I admit it was my fault for not knowing that wearing the university’s tie was mandatory even though the faculty did say to wear a complete uniform. Like, even when I offered to wear a plain tie, they still insisted it had to be the university’s official tie. Why tf do they have to be so strict about it???? I keep blaming myself for being so careless,,, my advisor also scolded me

I admit it was my fault for not knowing that a tie was mandatory, even though the faculty only said to wear a complete uniform. Alternatively even when I showed up with a plain tie they insisted it had to be the university’s official tie but why do they have to be so strict about it???
