What do you think looks, or is, trashy? In terms of appearance AND character?

Interested in reading a wide range of opinions. Not intended as a goady thread - I've posted to widen my own perspective.

Fast fashion and excessive consumerism.

Anyone that sits on their front doorstep with a fag and a can of Kestrel at 10am.

That's my Saturday afternoon ruined.

Agree!

There is a line between morality and immorality, however. Where would you draw the line between being a snob and being discerning and self- aware?

Looking down your nose at other people is trashy.

WinterFoxes · 05/04/2025 13:19

Anyone who talks to service industry staff rudely to try and elevate their own status. I have a relative and an otherwise lovely friend who do this and it makes me cringe.

Yeah. Who gets up at 10am?

CoastalCalm · 05/04/2025 13:22

People who put them big plastic buxus balls outside their houses

You'd be up early too if your mattress was in the front garden.

Cheeseismyfavourite · 05/04/2025 13:26

People that talk really loudly to each other in public. Like it’s some kind of performance they are never posh are they?

NewDogOwner · 05/04/2025 13:26

Artificiality.

My bloke needs somewhere to kip, leave it out.

Body modifications - split tongue, amputations, etc

WTAF?

You think people with amputations are trashy/scum?

Whats wrong with you?

I read that as cosmetic amputations? Which I don't really understand/can't relate to, but apparently they are a thing...

Ok dreadful lipfillers. Eyelashes like a giraffe. Caterpillar eyebrows. Face tattoos. Fake tan that isn't blended properly. Constant photos of pouts. Men bare chested shopping in the supermarket or walking around a precinct drinking alcohol or energy drinks with the t shirt hanging out the back pocket.

@Maitri108 someone's seen you and me down the precinct mate.

I dream of having eyelashes like a giraffe.

Whatsitreallylike · 05/04/2025 13:37

Dressing little girls up as grown women. Make up, eye lashes, high heels etc… or putting a filter on them. It make me feel awful when I see it.

Do caterpillars have eyebrows? I feel like that would be a good look.

BountifulPantry · 05/04/2025 13:41

Face, neck and hand tattoos.

Yelling loudly at kids in public constantly. Fine when telling them off but for some people every last word is yelled.

Holding a knife and fork like a pencil.

Am I a terrible snob??

Gwenhwyfar · 05/04/2025 13:42

"And just cause I think fillers and fake tan look shit doesn't mean anyone has to agree. If they feel they make them look amazing that's also a valid opinion."

Yes, it doesn't bother me at all that you think that and you're entitled to your opionion.
In my case I have used both because of very bad dark undereye circles that never go away and look even worse.

People who talk about any of the following as if they are perfectly normal topics to bring up in conversation:

  • Anti-vax ideology for children or insinuating the covid vaccines were responsible for any health issue that happened after 2021
  • MLMs
  • Energy or timeline "shifting"
  • WW3 and prepping

Bonus points if their appearance includes the following:

  • Excessive amounts of lipfiller
  • Crooked, discoloured or missing teeth
  • Caterpillar eyelashes
  • Giant long clacky nails

Katie Price. Far too much plastic surgery and bitchy attitude

Yes, can I also add Rebekah Vardy. It’s the combination of surgery AND having the face of an extremely unpleasant person together. That kind of ‘mean girl in ankle socks and gym gear’ look is worst of all in my opinion.

Wildflowers99 · 05/04/2025 13:50

Yep acrylic nails. They almost uniformly look awful and really tacky.
