The Most ANNOYING Fad Ever?
what trend in style, music or pop culture gets on your last good nerve? (Past or present) For me it is a close tie between...

Backward Ball Caps










OBX Stickers, License Plates, Coffee Mugs, et al

1. The Internet
Edited on Mon Aug-16-04 01:00 AM by BareKnuckledLiberal
Educational. Enlightening. And Annoying.

I may have lost a job, but I gained a 27" long penis.

27. Any fake "cultural" affectation.
Like, rich white boys trying to act like they grew up in Compton.

Or the black lady at work who wears a turban (or whatever you call it) even though she is from Illinois.

15. Right Here...


Oh, I don't mean if it's whizzing around the ROSEMONT HORIZON, WHICH WE'RE TURNING INTO A GIANT MUDDDD PITTT!!!! SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!

I mean when it's in traffic next to me, blaring shitty music. When it peels out of a stop light like someone hasn't gotten satisfactorially laid since, well, ever. When it feels the need to tool down my street at 4 am with no muffler.

I especially hate it when they have one of these on the back windshield: I wrote a song about it. If you're particularly sinful in this life, you may get sent to a place where you have to hear it.



These are ubiquitous to them, also:

16. Surly youth spitting on the ground.

I can't tell if it's some kind of weird symbol of disrespect learned from the Sicilian Mafia, or if it's just plain bad manners. Or both.

17. Lets see
-Large car stereos.
-$12,000 Honda civics with $20,000 worth of parts... BUY A REAL CAR!
-Ball hats tilted to the side.
-Thongs that come up out of the back of girls pants. No one wants to see them unless you show ALL OF IT.
-Fake people. If you didn't grow up in the hood then please don't act like you did. There is nothing more annoying than hearing a 16 year old white kid talking about 'puttin a cap in dat azz'.
-Snoop Talk... Fa Shnizzle.
-Mullets

I could name more but I don't want to seem bitter.

23. Completely, absolutely 100% agree with you about this.
That "wassup" thing is just as bad as fingernails on a blackboard. :-)
