Popular but tacky

[ListObsessed]

Sorry, not really an AIBU and inspired by the Pandora thread so breaking a few MN 'rules'. I found it really interesting to see what people view as tacky. Agreed with some and was surprised by others.

My personal pet hates are those baby on board signs in the back window of many cars (wouldn't mention it in real life as one of my best friends has one), rings that say things like 'Mum' on them and streaky blonde highlights in dark hair.

Completely appreciate that we all have and are entitled to different tastes. Just fascinated by the strong but opposing responses that an innocuous item can cause. The things I've just listed are viewed as useful/beautiful by many other people.

Paul's boutique

Tattoos
Fake nails, fake eyelashes.

I do like my converse though & I'm way over 30

Very liberating,

Urgh, the word 'chav'. Awful.

Yes, hipsters: beards with pony tails, sleeve tatts, checked shirts and skinny jeans. Dreadful.

Wearing football tops on holiday.
BOB signs.
Plastic washing up bowls in sinks.
Holding large bags in the crook of your arm celeb style.
Football.
Princess shit.

Snobby people grate on me.

Puffer jackets - black ones especially.

Multiple holidays abroad per year.

Commenting on other people's possessions. So tacky and greedy/jealous.

Yeah BOB signs. You can get personalised ones now with "mummy's prince/princess on board"....

Cheap jewellery. Hate it. And this includes pandora and all these other tacky "jewellery" shops that have popped up everywhere. I like real stuff. Real gold/silver/white gold. I have a few precious stoned rings and jewellery that belonged to my mother and you can tell the difference between tack and the good stuff.

Long fingernails shaped like claws. Disgusting. How do these people get any work done?

claw nails - yes ! how do they wipe their bottoms without tearing themselves to pieces ?

I never even thought about the bum wiping issues with claw nails. Must get messy.

Velour tracksuits
Bold flowery wallpaper
Anything teal/jade
Joules clothes on an adult
Black furniture shudder

People talking about money all the time is tacky

Anyone saying serviette

LOVE LIVE LAUGH all the people I know with these signs are the most miserable, unloving people I've ever met, infact anything from dunelm mill makes me feel ill

Hair that's dyed that particularly awful shade of burgundy.

Star tattoos on the wrist or back of neck.

Fake nails.

Open-toed heels in the dead of winter.

White cars.

I didn't think anyone under 30 wore converse any more.

I think some people have been carried away by the thread and are just listing things they don't like.

i have about 5 pairs of converse including rare edition ones im in my 20's

I have one of those little fairy doors in my garden, and my DH thinks it's beyond all naff ness!

I bought my first pair of converse recently (soooo over 30) and my DSD cringed visibly. Still love em!

Tattoos
Green / blue hair
Clothes on dogs
Piercings
Onesies

I think I am split exactly down the middle with this stuff. Have a bit if Pandora (I like their watches!), wear converse, top knots, have tattoos, my kids sometimes wear jewellery and frozen tshirts.

But I hate hate hate word 'art' shit with a furious passion. When DTs were born we got a lot of those photo frames with 'double the fun!' Bleugh.

In the spirt of BOB signs: 'Mum's taxi'.

Mugs with that godawful 'dance like no-one's watching' shite.

Yy to using your black eyeliner to colour in your brows.

And yes to package holidays and in particular cruises.

Designer dog breeds.

Food snobs.

Those Facebook posts with totally irrelevant Minions on.

Pink prams or buggies (infuriates me even more if grandma is pushing it while mum walks beside).

Oh god I'm doomed. I always thought I was respectable but i
