    Default Fads that need to die...

    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.

    Hahaha - I SIMPLY CANNOT STAND the one pant leg rolled up thing, I just cant stand it - WHY, WHY, WHY do people do that???!!!!
    (I believe I once read the answer to why they do it, I just cannot fathom how it caught on!)

    Umm, I personally cant stand those brushed forward, or huge side parting emo type haircuts.

    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.

    UGGS. One word- UGH!

    I'm glad you don't really take offense--it's meant to be a joke thread, though some fads are more annoying and pretentious than others. I have good friends who participate in two of the fads already, lol--the sunglasses and the hat thing. I even know a couple of very talented and seemingly intelligent dancers whom I have seen with the pants leg thing going on.

    I don't know if this is a fad or just a bad habit that a lot of people have or whatever the hell it is, but how about taking that damn toothpick out of your mouth and keeping it out when you talk to me!? I discard mine after I use it??? I just don't get it!!! So annoying and not sexy at all!!!

    BAD INK:
    Stupid-looking or meaningless tramp stamps. overdone, people!! not original anymore! and what "tribe" are YOU from, with your TRIbal across your KIDneys... oh, right.. the "shoot your load here doing me doggystyle tribe." (ok, fine, so that was mencia... but i agree!!) Find somewhere else to put your tat, get a better idea, or just DON'T GET ONE until you have somethng WORTH putting on your body!

    and don't be another wannabe bodybuilder with a barbed wire tat on your bicep. oh, the hardship of your life, mr. socal! *tear! get over yourself!!!


    .... what's kinda funny about this thread is that it is somewhat regional... no one in california that i have seen does the pant-leg thing... and no one would be caught dead w/ a toothpick. but we have mucho style faux-pas (paux?) that need to die...

    Wearing hats and sunglasses indoors.

    I know it isn't a fad however I nearly really 'got' the reason behind it other than showing you have no manners what-so-fucking ever... there is no sun as it is a nightclub and only open of a night! :roll eyes:

    Oh, btw, I want to defend UGG boots.

    COLLAR POP. Seriously. Put a stop to collar pop, right now!!

    I second the ugh on Uggs.

    Oh, and the one-pant-leg-rolled-up thing is a gangster thing. It's supposed to indicate that you have a weapon near your ankle and you can access it easily. Most people who wear their pants like that don't actually have a weapon there, but they're trying to look like they do.

    Oh yes - how could i forget about them, lol!

    In Auckland I took my friends 10 year old and her best friend to the shops one day and they ran into a shoe store and loudly poked fun at all the different crocs, picking them up and yelling to each other "Ugh look at this one!". It was so funny I joined in!
    Crocs are just getting uglier, I cant believe theyve come up with different horrendous styles, lol!

    Yep..crocs got to go. Hideous.

    And I aswwear every guy whos pants are so low and so big on him he has to hold them with one hand...Imma gonna pants him. No matter where I see it. I've done it before..I'll do it again. STOP wearing clothes 10 times too big for you...you look like a retard on welfare.

    Fur. I'm so sad that this trend returned. Can we just not wear tortured rotting corpse as a fashion statement? What are you supossed to be saying with that? I'm so rich I can be a Cruella douchebag?? Great statement.

    Camera vests when you don't have a camera? See this in National Parks.

    Bluetooth phone headsets. Come on your not that important.

    Where I am Old white dudes with Mullets and young Hispanics with cheesy goatees.

    Cheap Asian cars festooned with thousands of after market parts. Still a shitty sports car.

    I can't answer to why some people do it, but I wear mine that way when riding my bike (keeps long pants out of the chain). Sometimes I just leave it because I'm lazy like that.

    Fads that need to die?

    -Those little cars that are oh, so noisy! Like anyone thinks that your car is actually a street racer because you punched holes in the muffler.

    -Newsertainment. I mean, really, how many "news" broadcast hours were dedicated to Paris Hilton and Anna Nicole Smith in the last 12 months alone? Thousands. Seriously. If I want to watch Jerry Springer, I'll just watch Jerry Springer fer god's sake!

    -Speaking of TV...those pharmaceutical ads. I feel like I might be turning into a hypochondriac. They tell you nothing, really, about what the drug is supposed to treat, just that you'll be so glad you found this new miracle cure. With a nation of drug addicts already, is this really such a good idea?

    -Neo-cons. 'Nuff said.

    -Islama-haters

    -Red light traffic cams. Big brother is watching you blow through that red light.

    -Illegal wire tapping by the white house.

    -Hummers as commuter vehicles.

    -Plastic grocery bags. Those suckers reproduce faster than rabbits.

    -Lack of common sense in Airport security. Come on, TSA, that 9 month old named Osama Bin Laden could not have possibility bombed the World Trade Center. Pull your head out, already!

    -McMansions. Look! I've got a gigantic house made with illegal labor and cheap materials crammed right next to four other cheap-ass gigantic houses! Aren't I cool? My Hummer doesn't fit in the garage, though...Waaaaaaah!

    -Suing college students for illegal downloads. The internet has changed everything. C'mon, you whining recording industry execs, pull your head out and just understand that you can't make money selling CDs anymore. Get over it. Now the artists get to keep and market their own music. No more middle man!

    -Abstinence only sex education. If that actually worked, we would be facing extinction as a species.

    -Income tax

    -Creation "museum". WTF is that all about? I'm pretty sure that the bible says nothing about Adam and Eve hanging out with T-Rex. This place just defies all reason.



    Thanks, Djoser! This has been fun.

    How about a twist on that one; teenage middle class white girls flashing gansta signs in photos.

    I've got nieces on both my side of the family as well as on my husband's side who do this on their myspace pages all the time. WTF is that all about

    HAHAHA My 12 year old cousin does that!
    And what's with highschool boys growing their hair out and not brushing/hardly washing it, like their goal is to look like slobs? My brother tried to go through that phase but mom was not havin it!

    It started as an Affiliation of what side of town you're on. West or East side. Respective leg lifted based upon what side of town you're on if you're facing north.

    I think Collar Pop is becoming some sort of Pyramid of Priss Power. The Next level is to wear big Cop Glasses that fall off so easily.

    But hell, I'll complain about my own outfit if it gets a few good laughs.

    Running shorts need to be punished by depantsing the wearer and striking them firmly on the ass 18 times with a ken do stick. Nothing like minding your own business when you notice a wenis peeking at you mid stride across the way.

    Talking into your cellphone while it's on speaker while YOU are in a public place. THAT, my friends, fires me up. Especially when it's OBVIOUSLY a personal conversation.

    Dressing up teeth as the male equivalent of women's nails. If it's your thing, great, but bugs the HELL out of me.

    I wear it backwards to catch pitches or footballs, so that's all good. Sideways is what's messed up. My only sideways fun friend got deported to the Azores, and that probably saved her from a drive-by.

    What's up with cheap spinner wheel covers? Do they make hot chicas jump in your car?

    Tribal tramp stamps are a waste of space. I much prefer to see a guy's name or initials there.
