If I could go back to 1980 and freeze portable communications technology there forever (along with the sky-high prices it would command), I'd gladly do it. This shit has reached ridiculous levels.

"Saturated fat causes heart disease as much as Brawndo is what plants crave."
Smart Phones (some features good when really needed, but has become superfluous electronic jewelry)
3D, if it does take off
Reality TV, Dancing TV, Singing TV, Singing Dancing Celebrity Biggest Loser TV. FUCK IT
Skinny jeans. I need a place for my balls and room so my sciatic nerve isn't strangled. If I need to, I prefer the ability to run, lift, and sit without my balls being strangled.
Social networking beyond basic contact list on facebook. No I don't want to see a picture of me on every website asking for me to leave a comment or like. Where's the dislike button? This blatant marketing fucking sucks.

The problem is that they're using their text to communicate with someone more interesting than you.

Oh, and also dumbasses that think ADD isn't a real disorder. No I haven't suffered my entire life with this disorder. It's just made up. I have meetings with my doctor every 3 months about it, get controlled scripts with my license # taken at the doctor office, and repeated again at the pharmacy as one big joke for a disorder that doesn't exist. All of the studies and brain scans showing the downregulated expression of dopamine transporters and pathways are all forged by some vast conspiracy. Makes sense.

Because this absurd and unfounded idea that's generally accepted by even otherwise intelligent people, I have to keep this disorder to myself except for close friends. I have to plan my evenings and dose around it if I want to drive places safely.

For everyone whining about Crocs ... just remember they have more than one style.

Those are my outdoor crocks. All the comfort of the original, and basically look like your typical Jesus sandals.

Regular Crocs though - yeah, they're pretty hideous.
Sorry I think those look just as hideous. :p

looking fashionable isn't really the point of sports equipment though.

As I've said before these are GREAT for running, if your running. but yea the look stupid if people are just wearing them around town.

It's to keep the hair from messing up when growing waves. It's not necessarily panty hose, but panty hose can be used like a durag/wave cap. It wouldn't work with this guy who has braids, though.

Also, add me to the baggy jeans that are worn a feet away from the hips hate club. I don't want to see your underwear.


It's also to keep braids looking fresh, hence the guy in the pic wearing them.

Wearing them outside the house was always stupid though.

So much this! I F**ING HATE IT!

Also, vertically captured cell phone videos(particularly the stuff they show on the local news sent in from amateur people at the scene)...as if the general jerkiness of "OMG IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING" type videos wasn't bad enough, we get to see it in a super narrow "peaking out of the closet door" view.

Running as in actual running/jogging?

Color me surprised. I would think that good running shoes need a lot more buffer, elasticity and resiliency to protect the feet than what those weird glove-shoes provide.

Wanna hear a good joke? Waste your time helping me! LOL!
Reading through this thread I've realized I severely dislike 99% of what is posted here.

Somehow I feel this makes me a jerk/bad person.

Yes, all woman look awful in these things. What are they called?

I think different places call them different things. Maddox calls them Tit curtains and I can't think of a better name.

Lets make all women have no cleavage and look like they're pregnant, thats a great idea!

No, that's still an initialism.
I used to say this to people, but the improper use of acronym has become so widespread that dictionaries are now including initialism as a definition for it. You mite as well give up because people can now just point to the dictionary and tell you to piss off. I always say, however, that being in the dictionary just means it exists, not that it's correct.

Not to sound too much like an old man yelling at the clouds, but back in my day we made fun of people who didn't bend the bill of their caps. Straight bills are bad but the worst are the people who don't take the sticker off and keep the bill straight.


I hate straight bills too.

Knew a fair number of these in high-school.

YOU ARE NOT FROM KINGDOM HEARTS!


But but but what if we wore them before Kingdom Hearts?
Thank you for reminding me of my awkward high school years, though.
