Things you think are stupid that others think are cool!

Number one, no question: Ball caps worn backward. Maybe manufacturers should put a label on the bill saying "this part forward".

There's a reason it's called UNDERwear.

If I have to look at one more girls designer thong exposed petruding from her ass crack and waving from the back of her jeans I will SCREAM! The clerks at the mall should get a chuckle from that.

...really looks stupid.

The human body comes pre-equipped with the correct number of holes.

lips,nipples and penis or clit totally too out there for me

it's just stupid.

Also, accelerating through yellow lights.

doesn't matter if it Tommy Hilfiger, Nike or your favorite professional sports team; it's still people spending their money to advertise for a corporation. :shrug:

At least Tiger Woods gets paid to wear that fallen-over check mark on all his clothes.

Am I just getting old? This growing trend really baffles me.

at my Catholic school. When it was cold, we were allowed to wear pants, but for some bizarre reason we still had to wear the short plaid skirt over the pants. Just in case we forgot we were girls or something. I don't understand why anyone would want to dress like this on purpose.

Catholic girls. For which I am eternally sorry.

I hope? We used to hear that "Catholic girls start much too late" piece of crap while waiting for the school bus.

don't remember why. Used to get really weird looks in grad school.

...in Williamsburg, Brookiln.

;-)

I guess I am just way ahead of the times!

:puke:

looks ridiculous to me. Can't help it.

The Bachelor was annoying and mind-numbing the first time around, we really don't need a new one every year. And we don't need ones where the bachelors wear masks, are secretly NOT millionaires, or get plastic surgery.

commercials. It seemed like everyone's standard greeting for a few months was "Wazzzupp!" It annoyed the sh$t out of me.

...of tattoos. I'm not against tattoos in general but I'm seeing these really young people who are just covered with them. It's really jarring when I see a young woman with tattoos all over both arms. You can't tell me that she won't be regretting it real soon.

:shrug:

Why do people listen to them? Yuck!

Even SPAM is more acceptable than that. :puke:

in general

Never got Monty, always thought Zippy was stupid. I'm absolutely the only person I know on Earth who thinks this, but there you go.

Added upon Edit: The Pabst phenomenon reminds me when I saw a Milwaukees Best commercial in the mid-90s where they TOUTED the nickname Beast. You mean you're selling the product on its repulsiveness?!?

quite cool in parts of the good ol' boy rural south.

It's my beer of choice! Tasty, filling and cheap!

I think reality tv shows are stupid. I think threads about pets are stupid. I think fighting over stupid things is stupid. I think commercials on tv, especially during the Superbowl, are stupid. I think listening to folk music is stupid. I think drinking chemicals for $2 is stupid.

I think going into a war with a country that wasn't an imminent threat to this country was stupid. I think cutting the taxes for the rich is stupid. I think burning fossil fuels in cars, buildings, factories, houses, whatever, and doing nothing to remedy the problem, is stupid. I think sucking up to the rich is stupid. I think spitting on the poor is stupid. I think bringing faith into the government is stupid.

I, however, don't think girls showing their thongs above their jeans is stupid. :)

There are many more things I think that are stupid, but I won't bore you all to tears listing them all.

I can understand it if you live near Three Mile Island or Love Canal or if the water that comes out of your faucets is otherwise unsuitable. It just doesn't make sense to me. How can anyone be sure the bottler didn't just take it of their faucet anyhow no matter what the label says? Sounds like a BFEE plot to me.

It's really sad that people PAY for water at stores when you can damn well drink it out of a fountain for free.

and you might be tempted to buy bottled water. (My wife does).

We have one of those faucet-filters, and that does the job for me.

the Strokes were never very good. Also that band JET, whose claim to fame is a brazen rip off of "lust for life." Additionally, the White Stripes are waayyyy overrated.

also "free verse" is not cool

actually poetry is not cool

intelligence is not very cool either. intelligence is trash.

Well, actually, they are properly called van Dykes, NOT goatees... a goatee doesn't include a moustache, but everybody's CALLING them "goatees." I wear a full beard, but this "goatee" craze baffles the heck outta me.

the best I can do.

Just stop calling it a goatee. And correct anyone who DOES call it a goatee.

I'll let them drown in their ignorance.

and getting all caught up in it, so that it's your only topic of conversation.

Wearing little tiny eyeglasses (or Harlequins!) with thick plastic frames. I lived through that fad once already.

Trucks fitted with gigantic tires.

like Cadillac Escalades and all those silly Infiniti, Mercedes, Lincoln, etc., trucks. They look like something out of Mussolini's Italy. And you never see more than one person in the things, plus nobody ever HAULS anything in them. They're just rolling advertisements saying, "Hey! Lookit! I can afford to waste gasoline!"

Also cats. I read somewhere that there are 63 MILLION FERAL CATS prowling around in this country. No wonder songbirds are getting scarce.

ok. ok. they do have their function. Shade for the eyes on a sunny day, better than nothing on a rainy day. Yeah, yeah.

But c'mon. Some guys wear them all the damn time. Are they eight years old?

That was one of the (many) things about the army that I disliked. Wearing that stupid camouflage ball cap. Feh.

I am neutral about the forwards/backwards argument.

I've seen too much damage done and I really don't want it in my life personally. I'm rather libertarian about drug laws and decriminalization, but as far as wanting it in my own life or those close to me, I have no interest.

Its stupid and ugly in the first place, but it's become more ridiculous since the proportion of the <35 female population in this country that now sports them has eclipsed 64%. If you're a woman and really think it looks nice, fine; but don't delude yourself into thinking you're being original or non-conformist. Quite the opposite. Look around at the bar at the other 30 girls wearing cut-off shirts to display their own butt tattoos. And I'll be one of the many laughing amongst ourselves.

eom

when those girls are about 70 years old. (ughhh..)

I think it's stupid to drink sugar water, even though I agree that 45 degrees is pretty cool.

I hate those stupid car races! I also hate NASCAR jackets and caps. Yuck!

It is a bu$hwa affectation, the ruination of a good walk.
Golf courses are an environmental disaster, the dim seen to think that because it's grass then it must be natural but how do you think it stays so green? Tons of fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, that's how! All going into the watershed. The natural habitat, pasture or farmland that the course supplanted would be preferable. You don't need to ape the rich in order to spend some time outdoors!

go figure.

"The Great Wasteland"...
Bigger soul-stealer than the Internet, IMO...

Very few women look good with their midriff showing. It's even worse when you can see their underwear. Also hate guys wearing those long baggy shorts and showing their underwear. It's called underwear for a reason!

One of my jobs is in a mall, so this is easy xD

Trucker Hats

"indie" kids that dress in salvation army/goodwill clothes and act all "non-conformist", but have a top-of-the-line cellphone, and a starbucks IV in their arm. Did I mention they all wear the same thing? Way to be non-conformist.

Scarface...seriously, what's the big deal?

Guys that wear their pants around their knees, and a stocking/nylon cap-thing with a sweatband on top of that and a hat perched precariously on top of *that* (usually asking for Scarface stuff, but the two could be unrelated)

People that think that even though *I'm* the one that's been working in the art/framing store for 2 years, that I have *no* fscking clue about what the hell I'm doing.

Kids that are gay/bi because it's the trendy thing to do, not because they really want to be.

Nike/TH/Phat Farm/Ecko/blahblahblawhatever: I'm sorry, I don't need to spend $170 on a pair of shoes or $200 on a jacket to look "good". I'm completely content with spending $30 at walmart for a pair of shoes that I won't have to worry about getting dirty. Plus, I'm already prepared for that stage in life where you have to handle your own finances, and sometimes have to make sacrifices in wardrobe in order to keep a roof over your head.

wear ballcaps not forwards or backwards, but sort of off to one side.

sub woofers that make you lose control of your bladder.

Here's a shoe trend that I hope goes away ASAP!
