Women wearing white trainers on a night out.

Black Windows

Juliesipadwillcallyouback · 26/03/2021 22:43

Metro tiles with dark grout giving off the '1950s public toilet' vibe
Matt black bathroom fittings
Fake panelling
Definitely grey!
Open plan kitchen/living room extensions with bifolding doors, will definitely be the 'conservatory' of this era.
Recessed lighting
Dark grey/black metal window frames, doors etc

On a slightly different note: allowing minors to go onto a pathway of unlicenced off label drugs which at best stunt their bone and brain development, because those minors do not fit society's expectation of boy or girl.

Badges with pro-nouns.

Pandemics.

SionnachGlic · 26/03/2021 22:54

All trying to look the same with fake looking faces with massive lips, ridiculous liner & no expressions except a pout, mahogony tans & constantly pulling at the ends of their hair.

And big arses on display in thong bikinis. Yeuch...

Eddie Izzard.

Heard EI on drive time radio this evening spouting such predictable self-obsessed, self-regarding, self-promoting twaddle.

So past sell-by date & now desperate to be relevant. This evening you said that you’ve been hawking your pan gender wares for the past 23 years. It really is time to get off the treadmill of fame & wannabe to live at peace with yourself.

Eddie mate, nothing personal.
Just jog on...please.

Trout pouts (they look hideous)
Bossbabes / MLM scammers

Geometric paint patterns on walls done with duct tape over lockdown.

This, x 1000!

Slight improvement over the similar "feature walls" made with wallpaper samples.

They seem to have gone out of fashion already.

TaraRhu · 26/03/2021 23:18

Prosecco. So boring.

Enough4me · 26/03/2021 23:19

Eddie Izzard in girl mode, reverting to boy mode, nope back again it's girl mode...it's a man's world so they can choose everything.

Twintub · 26/03/2021 23:21

Prosecco back on the day was delicious I remember tasting it at Oddbins. Now it’s just any old fizzy shit in a bottle call prossecco

StillCoughingandLaughing · 26/03/2021 23:22

@Chanjer

I think it's already well on the way out but prosecco. It's a (mostly) cheap alternative to champagne because it's shit
To be honest I think we’ve reached the point where snobbery around Prosecco is the cliche, rather than the Prosecco itself.

@FreekStar

Posing with your tongue out- don't even know what that's about- seems a thing teen girls do.
This is something that 50 year old men often do on dating sites as well! Confused
ConkerBonkers · 26/03/2021 23:27

Mirrored furniture, salted caramel everything, grey walls, shiny kitchen units, wide legged trousers - hopefully, Oreo flavoured everything - hopefully, lip fillers, Botox foreheads, beards, Alexa's in every room.

Refusing to establish reasonable sleep routines with children and then wondering why a 2,3,4,5,6 year old will not go to bed without an 8 hour bedtime routine including co sleeping and the gentle sounds of live butterfly wings, fluttering them off to sleep.

Meanwhile parents are torturing themselves, telling everyone they meet about their sleep deprivation, all in order to prevent previous child shedding a few tears in their warm, inviting, toy filled bedroom.

LadyWithLapdog · 26/03/2021 23:30

Can you please get off with your constant anti-trans agenda? On every damn thread it’s turned into anti-trans.

Bunnyfuller · 26/03/2021 23:31

Anti trans....anti anything that is against anything under an umbrella term.

Will be looked at the same as any prejudice in time

DogsAreShit · 26/03/2021 23:32

Weed. It's fucking everywhere. Hopefully once the thrill of legalisation* is over people will stop droning on about how marvellous it is and realise that it makes you a boring stinky bastard. Also will be required to only smoke it in certain places.

*I know it's not legal in the UK yet but it's only a matter of time.
