I'll start- people wearing sunglasses indoors.

Skorts. Utterly ludicrous and ultimately pointless.

weekend2021 · 08/09/2021 16:02

Filled lips and thick painted eyebrows

ClawedButler · 08/09/2021 16:03

Me, when I think I've done my makeup all nice!

BrisbaneandGone · 08/09/2021 16:04

Men over 40 wearing ankle grazer skinny trousers, no socks and with loafers

Crop tops when the wearer has a muffin top, I have an MT and would never wear a crop top

Boris Johnson

Fake anything. Those god awful LV neverfull knockoffs in particular.

Also prints and posters of a generic Chanel bottle. Or anything that says "live laugh, love" or of that fucking "prosecco princess" ilk.

Yeah I'd agree with lip filler on young women that would look lovely without it but have just made themselves look older by having it done.

LadyCatStark · 08/09/2021 16:08

Those shoes that look like slippers that some men wear, usually in baby blue and to a polo match or something.

Crappy clipped in hair extensions

givinglessfucksdaily · 08/09/2021 16:08

4 week old eyelash extensions

PalmarisLongus · 08/09/2021 16:09

Sliders and socks on the rain.

Put some proper shoes on FFS.

Aroundtheworldin80moves · 08/09/2021 16:09

Parent and child wearing matching outfit (not including uniforms).

RampantIvy · 08/09/2021 16:15

Fake:
Nails
Eyelashes
Lips

I'm not a fan of the Barbie doll look.

Pets dressed up, l know skinny dogs such as lurchers, greyhounds need to wear coats in cold weather to keep warm, but l have seen some sights.

GTAlogic · 08/09/2021 16:26

Car headlight eyelashes.

camelfinger · 08/09/2021 16:26

A thick layer of makeup complete with false eyelashes looks a bit weird when coupled with a school uniform.

The big puffy lips.

Skinny jeans on most people - the current styles are way more flattering.

The little door handles that look like blobs rather than a proper long handle.

ImInStealthMode · 08/09/2021 16:27

(Controversial) Baby girls adorned with giant bow hairbands or plastic flower clips designed only so the casual passerby knows without doubt she is MUMMY'S LITTLE PRINCESS and could not possibly mistake her lovely fluffy baby hair for being that of a mere boy Hmm

Also :

Men in shorts and trainers with white sports socks pulled up tight to mid-calf. Usually accompanied by a bucket hat.

Eyelashes on cars.

Those false nails so long that I can only stare and wonder how on earth they ever change a tampon or wipe their arse or get anything done

Soubriquet · 08/09/2021 16:27

Man buns…

LaBellina · 08/09/2021 16:28

Caterpillar eyebrows.
Over bleached teeth / very obviously fake veneers

LaBellina · 08/09/2021 16:29

Baby on board stickers on cars.

BobbinThreadbare123 · 08/09/2021 16:31

Unicorns and rainbows on everything.

Me, when I think I've done my makeup all nice!
Oh, definitely this!

I seem to have completely lost the ability to do my makeup. I even had a tutorial thing in Debenham once, dutifully bought hilighter and pore minimiser etc etc. Still look like I've let my 4 yr old do it. Or worse, all powdery nosed like my Granny.

I've no idea if I always looked this daft and didn't realise, or if make up has really moved on so much that I can't do it any more. I'm 38 ffs, it's not like it was that long ago I was spending my afternoons pissing about looking at collection 2000 in superdrug!

squashyhat · 08/09/2021 16:32

Men in socks with sandals, sliders or crocs. In fact sandals, sliders or crocs in general.

Yumyumicedbuns · 08/09/2021 16:33

People posing crossed legged for photos. Trying to look photogenic but in reality just looking like they need a pee!

ColitisSucks · 08/09/2021 16:34

Oh, my contribution is dungarees - unless the wearer is under 8yo or pregnant!

Saw a lady yesterday that had ones so low cut and gaping at the sides that I could see her pants, which I'm fairly sure wasn't her intention.
