Filled, fake faces
Pneumatic lips
Caterpillar eyebrows that look like they've been drawn on with a Sharpie
Fluorescent white teeth that are all the same size / shape
Men's overgroomed eyebrows
Car headlight eyelashes
'Powered by fairy dust / bitch dust' stickers on cars
Massive steroid muscles (bloke usually has a tiny head)

Groups of women all wearing flowery dresses and white trainers. But I thought the same of all those women a few years ago with dyed-blonde, razor-cut hair too, whether it suited them or not.

Loon pants

Sorry, you said light hearted!

Misplaced apostophes Grin

Misplaced, apostrophes?

Christmas decorations before December, especially outdoor ones.

Onesies.
Enormous moustaches
Teeny tiny handbags

fake accent

TVs in the living room window so from outside all you can see is black plastic and cables. Really irritates me for some reason.

Christmas lights left up all year

Fake grass

Baby on board stickers on cars.
they’re there for safety purposes

I sometimes have my sunglasses on inside
But it's because they are prescription and fairly pale so in the summer I pretty much forget I'm wearing them..
And I always forget to take my normal glasses anywhere so I need to see..

I am fully aware I look like a knob...

MintyGreenDream · 08/09/2021 17:48

Really,really long fake nails

HunterAngel · 08/09/2021 17:52

Ripped jeans. Seriously, just why? I saw a woman today in ripped jeans with huge pieces missing. Why on earth do people waste money on jeans that (in my opinion) are fit for nothing but the rag bag?

people wearing sunglasses indoors

Hate to be ‘that person’ but I’m autistic and get overwhelmed by lights and people, so wearing shades instead sometimes helps it from being so intense

LukeEvansWife · 08/09/2021 17:53

Not that this thread will be up for long, I imagine, as it usually kicks off

MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 08/09/2021 17:55

I like skorts - looks like a skirt but no chub rub!
Mine is coffin shaped or filed into a point like a claw nails.
Long toe nails especially when wearer has flipflops on.

Fairyliz · 08/09/2021 17:57

People covered in tattoos, all that ink makes them look like they need a good wash.

MumOfTwoChildren · 08/09/2021 17:57

Clothing on dogs

ImInStealthMode · 08/09/2021 18:00

@evie34 The plain yellow high visibility Baby On Board triangles might just be at a push (although this has been debunked a thousand times). The glittery twee 'Granny's Little Soldier On Board' ones are absolutely not.

dementedma · 08/09/2021 18:02

Fake grass
Really long fake nails
Teeny weeny dogs. I've had bigger guinea pigs!

FanFckingTastic · 08/09/2021 18:03

Skin coloured leggings / tops are a definite no-no. Lordy, I've nearly crashed my car on a few occasions because I've thought that a teenager was walking the streets in the nuddy.

Bythehairywartsonmywitchychin · 08/09/2021 18:03

Men that wear a pair of shorts,T-shirt, flip flops and a wooly hat in winter. I’ll also add extreme ridiculousness to the men that also wear gloves!

Caterpillar eyebrows.

Babies with earrings controversial

Long pointed fake nail extensions.

In defence of those with prescription sunglasses - I quite often keep mine on in shops etc so o can see! I don't always carry my glasses too.
Bythehairywartsonmywitchychin · 08/09/2021 18:06

people wearing sunglasses indoors mine are prescription ones, so I sometimes wear them indoors so I can actually see. It saves having to carry my normal glasses with me

SnowfallSnowball · 08/09/2021 18:07

I don’t know why it bugs me so much but I really detest those folding phone cases, the ones that hold the the phone as well as their cards etc.

OnTheBrink1 · 08/09/2021 18:10

Those leggings which seem to be in fashion where they go right up the ladies bum. I mean right up. There is a seam in the bum crack. Do they realise that from behind, walking along, bum cheeks wobbling, every dimple of cellulite on show, it leaves absolutely nothing to the imagination and actually you may as well have no trousers on!
