hahhaah you beat me to it, i was just reading the thread to see if someone was gonna post that vid... that was on my sportbike forum, had me laughing for days...

HELL yah I second the "huge-ass-lifted-truck-for-no-good-reason..." ick... there are SO many in so-cal... and suv's! blah! These suburban OC white-boys are getting the biggest, baddest oem parts they can find... best shocks, brakes, etc... and the truck will never SEE off-road. ridiculous. even with gas prices like they are...

another fad... MOHAWK-STUNT-SQUIDS...
let me illustrate:
http://www.mxdirtrider.com/i-products/universal-accessories/accessories-universal-helmet-mohawk.jpg

most of the guys wearing mohawk helmets fancy themselves to be "stunna's..." (very amateur stunters) i.e. they can half-wheelie at best, often ride without proper protective gear (yes, a wife-beater is GREAT protection for you AND your girlfriend on the back... this, along with bad riding ability is the definition of "squid") and obviously draw too much attention from cops. Plus they just look... well, SILLY!

I havent read everything, or close to it on here yet but here are mine

-if it's not sunny, or you're not on a bright stage you should not be wearing shades at all, at night, inside, wtf is that? I hate when these "cool" motherfuckers walk into me in a bar because they are too cool to take off their sunglasses. fuck off you twit!

-High heels and shorts. if you look like you should be on your schooner you should not be wearing heels.

-Girls who cant walk in heels. go home and practice. now.

-short fte girls in capris. you only make your legs look shorter and fater, stop it.

-the redneck up tilt and to the side baseball hat.

-super bleached out blond hair. I like the honey blond but that over damaged there is no way I cold ever be this blond, esp with my dark ass eye brows hair has got to go!!

trashy looking people. Ghetto style maybe? I like a well dressed ghettofab lady, you know well out together, everything matches and whatnot, but when you look like a crackhead who just climbed out of a dumpster I have issues.

-clothes that are either too small or too big. the top of your pants should not rest below your ass, nor should you have 4 boobs because you wont buy shirts or bras that fit.

there're more I'm sure.

i hate crocs. they look like plastic sandbox toys on your feet!

i dont like the super skinny heels with really long toes (original 80s pair pointy pumps and old school death rock boots are fine). they are not flattering to women's feet and make them look 2/3 sizes bigger. i want to take a curling iron to the toes and say 'ha now you're a fucking elf!' i'm not gonna wear heels that look like a pencil lead. just plain impractical.

i hate those baggy pants women are wearing that go to the mid-calf. they look like two potato sacks sewn together.

chukka boots? i think that's what they're called. they're made of some kinda of suede, have a platform, are usually tan and have a fur trim at the top and lace up. people who wear those should put on leiderhosen and start yodelling. it only works during some photoshoot or on stage with a snowbunny/caveman theme.

that poofy shag hair all the emo kids are wearing. looks so bad on some people! and how prissy the chicks are starting to look round here. some tops have all these stupid poofs and frills on them. funny, but i've found the real vintage stuff in the trash that it's all modelled after. actually, kinda dont mind that cause when i go to a show, i'm the one getting chased for doing my own thing.

Those are truly ugly. And why are they always in some hideous olive green/tan/creepy bright color? I'll get the curling iron.

Dear lord ..if I hear one more person HAVE to talk about what they can and cant eat I'll shoot them. Eat whatever you fucking want...but dont tell me "I miss chips..but I cant have them because of the carbs" You can too have them...you CHOOSE not to..and since YOU made that choice...dont torture me with it.

One of my housemates does this! I refuse to go to the grocery with her anymore because she takes 3 hours in each aisle comparing the calories and whatnot (depending on which diet she is on at the time) and telling me about it the whole time. And then putting it all back and loading up the cart with Weight Watchers desserts. :beat: Shut uuuup!

I like the random, unsolicited, whacked out, relation that suffered something horrifically unsubstantiated as a potential cause of doing what you're doing.

"My great uncle Susan lost her right molar while eating those baked lays and when she got a blood test, turned out it gave her hepatitis and a stroke. I wouldn't suggest eating those, but that's just me. No, she had to have her phone disconnected due to the lawsuit. You're welcome...You don't have to be a dick about it, just trying to be nice"

Paris Hilton.

Really, she needs to die. I am so disguisted with the media over her. Unfortunately, the media's attraction to sensationalistic poo doesn't seem like its going away soon. :(

I might be an oddball here but I wish text messaging would go away. I'll be riding down the road and one of my friends will text me. I'm like f*ck, well, they'll have to wait till I get somewhere so I can send them one back. Plus, it takes me forever to compose one and send it.

talking on the phone and texting whil simultaniously running your car into and out of my lane. fuck off all you driving while using a phone drivers, I hope you crash. No offense - thought I know it would offend most everyone as everyone fucking does it. I know all my fucking friends do. gah!

Roadrage/tailgating.... I remember when that wasn't really a problem....

Oooo... well then... what do I get when I send ya the cookies then??? }:D

Which reminds me of another fad that needs to die...

Faux-lesbians. So sick of the drunk girls kissing each other at bars just to get attention from guys. WTF, are you really *that* desperate? Did your parents not give you enough love as a child? Grow up. It's just so stupid.


LOL!!! Hey! My girlfriends and I used to do that! We would usually do it out of a bet from the guys! I made an easy 50 bucks one night just for drunkenly kissing a girl! It was fun! }:D

Thank you! Egads. I didn't get a pager (pre most cell phones, kids), until I was in high school, and I had to do that on my own... my real dad was all NO WAY about that shite.

I practically scabbed my knees from begging my parents just to let me have a phone in my room...with our family home phone number!!! Why do these kids need a cellphone with their own personal number??? What is up with parents these days?????????????? >:(

As someone who wears a ball cap backwards from time to time, AND has given his fair share of orders (both in the military and real worlds), I take offense (not really). I do agree it usually takes a unique breed to wear a hat backwards ( and it seems it's usually nascar lovers, lmao), and as I grow older the cap is facing front more and more ( I think mostly now to keep the sun off my face). The sideways thing I just never understood.

Left is blue, right is red. Gang affiliations. At least that's what it was until everyone else started thinking it looked cool. Meh, at least they get theirs when they roll through the wrong hood like that.

*Fat people wearing tight clothes. I don't know if it's a "fad", but I just want it to stop. For god's sake don't any of them care about other peoples eyes. I swear I never know if I should vomit or gag when I see this and end up gavomiting.

*Bluetooth tech. I swear it pisses me the hell off when they stand next to me and start talking. I'll turn thinking their talking to me and sometimes even begin to respond before I realize, oh it's just another person that needs to die already.

*Myspace, I hate when I ask for someway to stay in touch with someone and they give me their myspace address, garbage. You want me to find an online outlet to contact you. Why?! You might as well just tell me you don't want to stay in touch if its like that. Yeah I don't got Myspace and you got me twisted like the McDonalds arches if I ever get one. Everyone keeps telling me to get one and I've said no and now I'm sticking to it. Plus, I hate how much time my friends spend on that shit. Some changes are not good changes. Damn, I could really go on about this, but my opinion for now is that myspace needs to die. Die a slow horrible excruciating death.

This thread is great ......but I feel that I have to fess up to some of the evils noted here that I too am guilty of!!

-SUV's.....yes, sadly I do own an SUV. It is a Ford Escape which is not the largest of those available. It was purchased because of my move cross country and to ease the pain of putting my child in the back seat car seat of a two door coupe when my son was born. I had a c-section that took longer than normal to recover and the bending over was killing me!!! Yeah I know thats lame but after your stomach feels like a Mac truck hit it you will do anything to not have to bend over to get to the back of your car and ease the pain during recovery.:O Sad justification I know but the truck has proven usefull for the mountainous area that we live in.;D

-Bluetooth....yes I'm that chick driving down the road blabing on my bluetooth. I must look like a dork but you know what, for hands free driving it rocks!! Thats usually the only time I really need it.......oh yeah....and when I grocery shoping with my son and I need both hands so I can talk to my hubby and beat my kid in public for acting like a fool!!! OK....just kidding about the beating in public thing....sort of....I definately will take him to the bathroom and give him a spanking if he needs it though!!}:D

Anyway...those are my guilty confessions for the crimes commited here.....but I do love what everyone has posted here. These are all great and made me laugh pretty damn hard.;D

The fads I really hate:
Large, Willy Wonka sunglasses.....do you really need to cover half of your face with frames??

People who let their kids act like little spoiled brats in public......please take appropriate steps to shut that kid the hell up!

Muffin tops......nuff said!

Woman who think its cool to act and dress like a stripper out side of a strip club.....I am a stripper and I don't dress like that out side of work. There is a time and a place for such nonsense and the mall is not it!!

People who shop at thrift stores and have no idea how to put really cool peices of clothing together. If you shop at thrift stores choose carefully....just because they put a "vintage" tag on a hideous shirt does not mean its cool and you should buy it immediately so you can wear it to the party later!>:(

Thats all for now.....will add more later!

i agree on the huge sunglasses! not sure why anyone thinks this looks good.

what about the stickers on the rim of baseball caps. next time i see this im going to tell them they forgot to take it off and watch their reaction.

how does everyone feel about the yellow wristbands? its not bad and good cause but, its also getting a little old.

Can I add PDA to this list. I see more people with PDAs who don't need PDAs but have them as a status symbol or something. There is a kid at work, early 20s, he's a customer service phone rep. Why does he need one? What is that friggin important that you need a PDA for. I mean you have a computer infront of you at work where you can e-mail.

I just don't get it

Totally. Probably the most boring thing you could ever talk about is your freaking dietary choices. The weather is more interesting. People have known me for years before finding out that I'm a vegetarian. And even when they find out I don't like to talk about it.

Oh yeah, and I'll add a fad pet peeve of mine: the gelled up hair. I mean, this isn't even a current fad, its from like 7 years ago when N'SYNC was cool. But they stiiiillll do it. I love giving dances to these guys though... because it amuses me to look at their hair gel glowing in the blacklight. So hot OMG I love dancing for you... hehe.

I second or fourteenth or whatever the clothes too small thing. I hate that. But what i hate just as much is the pregnancy clothes right now. I mean, I didn't even wear maternity clothes when I WAS pregnant. Why would I want to wear them now?

And I love my headset, but with an 11 month old, it's just practical. Oh, and yes... I'm looking into getting an SUV, but a small one. A little RAV4. The gas mileage in that is equivalent to a normal car (think Accord or Camry.) I also own a pair of UGGs. Not for fashion, but for in the middle of the winter when it snows. They are the warmest pair of boots ever. Plus, they were only $40.

:'( Waaaahhh I absolutely hate this trend!

I went shirt shopping for some hot little cropped shirts or even some regular summer stuff, because, umm, it's summer and hot, and I'm hot and young and shopping in the junior's section, but there was like, NOTHING figure-flattering to be found.

Charlotte Russe is esp. bad right now. EVERY FUCKING TOP is either saggy, long as fuck, or both.

Not to mention I tried to go shopping at Macy's the other day in hopes of finding a slinky little black dress, but alas, NOTHING was at all tighT! All those damn bohemian style things. They make me look chubby and or 12, so yeah. I ended up settling on a beautiful dress that was ivory and white, very French fashion, but it was supposed to be one of those legging dresses! I found out when I tried it on at home and my buttcheeks were just baaarely hanging out.

Some have been begging to be put down as a mercy to all the long-suffering observers, some just need to be gunned down immediately for terminal douchbaggery.


Male:

1) Wearing expensive sunglasses backwards on your head at 2 AM. It was bad enough when all the really cool motherfuckers wore their shades, this is worse. Is this just a Key West thing? Somehow I doubt it...

2) T-shirts the size of dresses, long dresses--small tents in fact.

3) The jeans with the crotch located 5-6 inches below the knee level, and pant legs about 8 inches long. They look like they were made for some weird alien species with stumpy legs. Often worn with the T-shirt dress things.

4) Baseball caps on sideways or backwards. The mark of a unique breed of men. They'll never give orders to anyone, by god, and they're proud of it.


Female:

1) Those pants that end mid-calf and flare out there.


Either sex:

1) Wearing one pants leg rolled up. What the fuck is that supposed to mean? It just looks stupid.

2) Wearing any kind of appliances, cell-phones, calculators, etc. on the waist or belt. Unless you are camping or something, it just looks dumb to me. And those goddamned purse things some guys wear on their belt, I could never stomach those things.


Feel free to add fads that annoy you. Or maybe you find people who get annoyed with fads annoying, in which case fad adding is out of the question. so you're basically saying you hate the black urban culture.
