I'll start- people wearing sunglasses indoors.

@SnowfallSnowball it saves having to carry a purse as well as protecting your phone

I sometimes wear sunglasses indoors if if have a splitting headache to stop it morphing into a migraine

abw94 · 08/09/2021 18:15

The Balenciaga trainers that look like socks

Runmybathforme · 08/09/2021 18:16

Middle aged men wearing three quarter length trousers, the ones with hundreds of pockets.
Babies wearing hair bands.

@bamboocat

Skorts. Utterly ludicrous and ultimately pointless.
Are you a frustrated upskirter? Grin

@SnowfallSnowball

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.
I bloody hate those too! And you can't hear a word they are saying either Muffle wah wah muffle

@givinglessfucksdaily

4 week old eyelash extensions
Do you mean when half of them have fallen off ? I agree I work with a beautiful young woman who does this (she doesn’t need them IMO) and I really feel awkward when she’s blinking with half her lashes missing

Fake eyelashes, tan, nails, hair extensions
Top-knot buns, nope they don't make you look taller, just looking like you want to be taller
Glittery make-up
That trout pout look that women assume when taking selfies
Selfies, just no, not by yourself anyway, that's too sad
Lipliner a radically different shade to your lipstick
Leggings where you can tell the colour or pattern of someone's knickers
Sunglasses with a mirror finish

Those fluffy sliders that make girls look like their carrying dead rats around on their feet... Makes my skin crawl

dexterslockedintheshedagain · 08/09/2021 18:33

Men who wear jogging bottoms just under their arse cheeks, so we get to see their underwear 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Daleksatemyshed · 08/09/2021 18:40

Yes @Flidina, you beat me too it, they look so trashy like you've gone out in your slippers

bamboocat · 08/09/2021 18:53

@Tresal no, just that this particular item of PE clothing is unnecessarily skimpy.

Pandoraslastchance · 08/09/2021 18:54

Fluffy sliders
Sliders and socks.

Tresal · 08/09/2021 18:57

Very true @bamboocat

Susannahmoody · 08/09/2021 18:59

Short men in skinny jeans. You have to be Mick Jagger-esque to pull them off.

IWishIWasABaller · 08/09/2021 18:59

The fashion for bikinis and swimsuits to barely cover their arse cracks looks like they have a permanent wedgie! Also people wearing leggings as normal pants I can see more than your gynae can in some pairs Confused

TaraR2020 · 08/09/2021 19:00

Tvs far too big for the room
Leggings so tight they give the wearer camel toe
Massive drawn on eyebrows
Poorly applied fake tan
Mullets

What a weird goady, judgey thread.

A lot of you are really quite unpleasant.

Obviously I mean that in a "lighthearted" way, that's the caveat for saying something unpleasant here isn't it? The 2021 version of "no offence but..."

Namechange100thtime · 08/09/2021 21:11

Women that dye there bright red to look like ariel from the little mermaid. When really they look like a clown.

Namechange100thtime · 08/09/2021 21:12

Thatsplentyjack · 08/09/2021 21:13

Baggy/flare jeans that are cropped to quie a bit above ankle length with any kind of shoes really, but boots!! Wtf is this?! Confused

Boomkin · 08/09/2021 21:18

people wearing sunglasses indoors
When you’re cool the sun shines on you no matter where you are 😎

Donald Duck lips

leavesthataregreen · 08/09/2021 22:39

The style has passed now but I hope low rise jeans with high rise thongs never make a comeback. The amount of women on the tube with twisted scraggy nylon knickers on show made me feel old and shocked. Same with the men who wore their jeans so low their entire boxers were on show. Not seen that for a while either.

Miranda15110 · 08/09/2021 22:50

People who put filtered images of themselves on SM looking fuck all like they do in real life. Worse still all their friends who say 'Gawjus Hun' etc 😂
