Astounded by mullets?

I'm on holiday at a very British all inclusive abroad type holiday destination. It's all new to me, I've never had this type of holiday before. I'm astounded by the huge average BMI and lack of clothing of the majority of guests. The entitled poor manners is shameful. One man I was behind in the queue to the bar was aggressive with staff over their lack of understanding of his instruction of "no ice" but the issue was he was too drunk to understand there were 2 bar staff and he thought there was only one. I'm getting used to all of this poor behaviour but what has surprised me the most is the 3 generation family who all have matching mullet hair styles. That's male and female. I've never seen anything like it in real life in the 2000s. AIBU to find this all very unusual?

There is an adorable slightly-bigger-than-toddler-sized child with a mullet, who is a regular visitor to the library not a million miles from Shoreditch. So cute!

Did they travel in shell suits? Do they keep saying “calm down calm down” ? Do they have scouse accents?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think they perhaps missed the reference!

Aaah yes that’s possible - I tend to forget how old I am!

Mullets are everywhere, have been for a while now. I’m a lecturer so spend a lot of time around teens/people in their early 20s and I’d say there’s at least one person rocking a mullet in each lecture.

Was it very painful- that sense of humour bypass surgery?
Im Irish and regularly have a giggle at paddy and mick jokes, still not all of us can laugh at ourselves I guess. Seriously, unclench.

The funny but is the OP decided to go on this holiday. So they has plenty in common with all the scummy people the OP doesn't want to be on holiday with. That's the issue - they remind the OP of something... themselves.

I thought they were called SHULLETS Confused

A cross between a shag and a mullet

Lack of clothing?
Was that by the pool?
Or do you meaning in the restaurant?
I’m all for covering up in a restaurant, can’t stand to see acres of bare skin with sweat dripping off it if I’m trying to eat. By the pool though, crack on.

Most decent hotels have a dress code for the restaurant anyway so she must mean in the pool areas.

A good mullet on the right man is hot! 😍

Mullets aren't a class thing.

They've had to crack down on them at my DC private school so many boys were coming in with mullets, they are now banned.

Why do they need to "crack down on mullets?!"

RommyRommyRommm · 02/11/2023 17:33

Ah the old scruff bag look. I’m with you OP, dreadful do!

What a nasty thread

Oh come on, the whole family with the same haircut is in?

Is it really snobbery to be disgusted at the rudeness? I think now

It's not just the mullets though, is it?

I'm astounded by the huge average BMI and lack of clothing of the majority of guests.
OP is spending her holiday astounded by how terribly common the other guests are.

Gare ti tell you but there's a professional footballer with curtains and that sort of undercut that went with it.

You must be a bit posh if you didn't just use the lemon out your drink in your hair v

I'd rather be a scouser than have your level of mental acuity!

Okay Hyacinth.

Lmao at that. I've just been very poorly and hiding at home. Bingewatched all of Keeping Up Appearances😂

@itsmylife7 It's a fish.

Yes but I assumed people weren't talking about fish hair 😁

So it's shaved at the sides and lots of hair on top.

What's a mullet ?
I'm off to Google.

TheMarzipanDildo · 02/11/2023 15:42

You sound like that grumpy woman off of Benidorm. Why did you think a very British all inclusive was for you!?

Anyway, mullets are definitely back and quite posh now.

Iwantmyoldnameback · 02/11/2023 15:39

Oh Op you should go to a Five star AI in the Caribbean. The British are definitely not the fattest or the rudest there. Quite the contrary in fact.

AllWeWantToDo · 02/11/2023 15:39

One of my sons has one, it doesn't look like the mullets I remember though
