Astounded by mullets?

[80skid]

I'm on holiday at a very British all inclusive abroad type holiday destination. It's all new to me, I've never had this type of holiday before. I'm astounded by the huge average BMI and lack of clothing of the majority of guests. The entitled poor manners is shameful. One man I was behind in the queue to the bar was aggressive with staff over their lack of understanding of his instruction of "no ice" but the issue was he was too drunk to understand there were 2 bar staff and he thought there was only one. I'm getting used to all of this poor behaviour but what has surprised me the most is the 3 generation family who all have matching mullet hair styles. That's male and female. I've never seen anything like it in real life in the 2000s. AIBU to find this all very unusual?

Yep.they are back in and its not just a British thing either

Yet another disjointed bot post 😴

Sometimes you are only paying around £15 a day more for AI and the choice of hotels is better. If you book through TUI nd book the trips with them, the food is included because you are AI. I haven't done the likes of Spain etc with them and won't go to Turkey, though.

When in Rome OP...get the scissors on your hair and see what the fuss is about.

I thought you were talking about fish at first. 😂

What sort of mullets were they? Pat Sharpe? Nimahl? David Hasselhoff?

Do we have to wear a florescent shell suit to complete the look?

Apart from the rudeness and aggression which is wrong, who are you to judge peoples weight and hairstyles?
Judgemental people are the worst in society and make peoples life hell!

What else would you expect from an AI like that? You probably fit in more than you realise x

The older people reading and posting here will be well aware that there is nothing new under the sun and that hair and clothing fashions cycle through again and again. I'm old enough to have seen multiple iterations of most styles from the 60's onward. Alas, it always seems to be the more unfortunate ones that reappear multiple times (I'm talking about you, crop tops and hipster jeans). I'm still waiting longingly for lovely pleated calf length skirts from the early 80's (along with well-made, non-baggy jumpers--and elegant shoes and boots that don't make your feet look like boats) to rise from the grave. I'm just grateful that the dread "feather cut" from the early 70's doesn't seem to have reappeared.

Yep, can confirm the mullet travesty is not just British, it’s worldwide. I honestly thought if there was something we would never have to live through again, it was the mullet. I was wrong. Hopefully it passes quickish.

OMG. This thread has just reminded me of a dream I had last night and had fully repressed - I went to get my hair cut and when I looked up, I had been given a full late 80s Mom Mullet. With a bit of a perm at the top bit.

yep - any self respecting youngster is sporting a mullet, seems to be that or a buzz cut in the rugby playing teenager!

"ChatGPT, write a Mumsnet AIBU post as if I were the character Kate from Benidorm".

Sadly, AI doesn't have the gloriously lowbrow wit to replicate the scene with the turd in the swimming pool.

Mullets are very very in. DS works in high fashion and has had one for over a year. They are everywhere now.
@ghostyslovesheets the wolf cut is lovely. I'm tempted myself.

Oh come on, the whole family with the same haircut is in?

Is it really snobbery to be disgusted at the rudeness? I think now

Not*

Sounds like your holiday is super fun if you're on MumsNet lol.

I’m all for long hair on men and boys but mullets? No they don’t look good. If you look good with a mullet you would look better with other hair styles. Each to their own I guess.

I think the mullet has reappeared for young men at least as some were tired of having to conform to a very rigid look or get bullied. So they just went for it.
Back in the 80s we had teddy boys/rockabillies, punks, skins, new wave, goths, mods, long haired rock fans, girls in the same class at school looking like the human league sat next to a Toyah lookalike. Now kids are scared to be different

Mullets are v fashionable currently and actually the norm in some Australian suburbs these days. The people there probably judged you in some way.

Just realised AI means all inclusive, makes more sense than artificial intelligent holiday.

I'd rather be a scouser than have your level of mental acuity!

At last finally after so many years of long flat straight boring hair we have a different hairstyle.

Op reads like this "I went to a British all inclusive abroad type holiday destination and it was full of ghastly working class sorts! So dreadfully fat and uncouth they were that I couldn't possibly just mind my own business and enjoy my slummy hols, I just had to get on mumsnet to publicly judge and shame these people I don't even know, what japes!"

Next year op you need to finish with your own sort instead of going all inc going to pull a bit of rough

I love a youth with a mullet, they just make me smile especially if combined with a Shirley Temple perm.

20 years time they’ll have a damn good chuckle over the pictures. Sadly the early 2000’s emo bangs that we have to look back on just aren’t quite as fun!

As for the rest, I’ve never noticed that on holiday, you must have chosen the wrong resort.
