Tunic style shirts that are meant to be worn as tights but are instead worn as dresses. They are not dresses and should not be worn as such. Along the same lines - tights worn with short shirts. Tights are not pants - they are meant to be worn with a top that covers your bum.

I agree with the dislike for caps/hats worn with the tags still on. I have started to see this same trend on shoes and shirts as well.

 

Oh, and in regards to diamond engagement rings and tradition? They only became "traditional" when De Beers started marketing them as such in 1939. Diamonds are not particularly rare, and were not associated with engagements until they were actively marketed as such. The marketing firm of N.W. Ayer and Son promoted diamonds as the 'must have' accessory in an effort to help De Beers combat the falling diamond price. Their association with romance and engagement was truly solidified by De Beers' 1947 slogan 'A Diamond is Forever', and was done to as a ploy to encourage people to buy larger and more expensive stones. Previous to this things like furs or cars were often the preferred proposal gift.

Interesting stuff!

Generic club sounding music that sounds like it was made on a Fisher Price keyboard

 

Speak of the devil. Bjork has this new song out that sounds really awful. She sings like some little girl talking in this unintelligible baby talk and banging on a Fisher Price xylophone. I swear that woman is missing a microchip.

 

hahah how funny the way you described it :laugh::D i think it's the emo hairstyle lol...is this whatcha mean? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RFv-ZsjaG28/TcDxkutz9tI/AAAAAAAALEg/2r6fZNk3yt4/s1600/scene_emo_hairstyles_for_boys_emo-boys-haircut.jpg

 

It looks even worse than that emo kid in the photo! I think people are doing it with mega-hold hair spray or something. Even the CEO where I work has come in with his hair looking drenched. Yeah, I'm sure he made QUITE an impression at the company board meeting...

I knew someone was going to say leggings-as-pants. I pretty much never wear them without something that covers my bum, but I find I'm immune to the leggings-as-pants thing now (I used to hate it too) after living in Asia. Leggings ARE pants in Korea and Japan. They make nicer leggings there, though, too, and that's where I order most of mine from.

 

Do you mean tunic style shirts that are worn as a dress without leggings? That bothers me also, but I love me a tunic + leggings = as comfy as pajamas and still looks stylish. But what bothers me more -- that it reminds me of -- is those tube dresses that are in now, which are obviously too skimpy because the girl is always either pulling it up or pulling it down.

I admit I wear uggs in the winter, they are comfy for walking across campus and keeping my toes warm. I HATE crocs, you are not a baby on the beach or an old lady gardening wear some real shoes for crying out loud!!

Oompa Loompa tans (esp. with platinum blond hair :sick:)

 

One of the worst -- it looks horrible.

Guys who wear necklaces, especially gold chains.

Skinny jeans on men.

Pants low riding enough to display underwear or worse, plumber's crack

thong bikini bottoms on women or speedos on men

I agree!! I think the only time they should be fake is medical. My friend got a double masectomy (I can't spell I KNOW) and she got them the same size as before which was an A. She said it felt like someone dropped bricks on her chest right after and that it was painful for almost 2 months. :sick: I wouldn't be able to do it because I hate needles coming anywhere near me.

Haha how about spidering birthing and coning?

Leather pants on men unless you are a perfect 20/10, not impossible as it might seem, and there are only a handful, if that, of men that I can think of that may brink on the tip of that scale.

 

Wife beater t-shirts with 5 inch underarm hair and flabby arms, Eeeeeks!

No surprise here but tattoos, piercings other than ears--tongue rivets, clit hood and belly button studs, etc. Fu_k, I can't stand that. And not that anyone sees this in public, but a shaved snatch instantly makes me feel like someone's been moon-lighting on the Internet with a camera. Other than that the others extremes of poor taste in dress mentioned above.

 

As a proponent and haver of several items on this list, I guess it's official: you & I were just not meant to be! :p:laugh:

Women that are not overweight, however wear very tight jeans very low on the hips causing a love handle where there would not be any if the jeans were not so tight.

 

Yes!!!! It's like the girls think it's better to walk around with a spare tire around their waists than admit they're not a size 4. :rolleyes:

 

My peeve: wearing boots during the summer. Women in NYC are loving this for some reason this year. Even on 90 degree days you'll see a host of girls with skirts or shorts and leather combat boots. It's absurd.
