1. just because you can fasten it does not mean it is your size. for the love of god buy the next size up. this is especially true of stretch jeans.
2. just because you saw it on a model in topshop/on SATC does not mean it looks good. people wearing leggings under skirts - this means you.
3. t-shirt + scarf = you looking stupid. does your neck exist in a seperate climate to your torso?
4. for anyone thinking that wearing your pyjama bottoms out in public makes you either cute or kooky - it doesn't. it makes you look like an escaped mental patient. especially if you wear them with rockports. i saw you.
5. brush your hair before putting it in a ponytail. jesus. you'd think with all the designer clothes you're wearing you could splash out £1.50 on a hairbrush. it doesn't look 'effortlessly cool' or 'post-sex chic'. it just looks scruffy. from behind you look like a big issue seller. now stop it.
just some things that were bothering me this week. feel free to add to my list.

I think I'm guilty of this.
Actually I brush it and then use hair spray and stuff to scrunch it up to make it look unbrushed.

What about if you wore them with your slippers. :blush: And in fact your pyjama top, under a big coat. :o To the corner shop for the paper, cause it was Sunday and you weren`t getting dressed for no fucker? :)

please explain, cause i am interested in the reasoning behind this.

then you are excused, as you are not making a fashion statement, but merely exercising your right to be lazy on a sunday.

People who wear tops that say 'Babe' or 'I only sleep with the best'; (or something along those lines) when they're minging. :(

Thank you sooo much kaffrin. I agree 100% with all of those... just don't come to Edinburgh Uni EVER if you think Leeds is bad. It's 10x worse, trust me. Ugh.

I hate big hoops!
Actually I only like them when they're teeny. Like a centimeter in diameter, or something. Not bigger.

Because not brushing hair is minging but scrunching it up gives you "big" hair and the 80's were cool so hey :p
I thought of this thread when I was waiting in the doctors surgery today and a girl sat opposite me had really bad arse-clevage going on. For god sake buy trousers that your whole arse fits into... you are not a builder!!! (no offence to builders intended)

To some extent you have a point.
Usually I just use teeny tiny studs in my ears. But I do have some "zipper" earrings. And it would look too weird, if I had them in both ears. The charm and humor is having only one.
Also if you have some fancy earrings, wearing only one is like toning it down. So you for everyday use have one which looks nice and get the full effect when wearing both of them.

Tight jeans and tiny tops. If they fit you can look good (almost) regardless of your size. If they don't fit they look terrible regardless of your size!

People who wear more than one gold ring on each hand. People who wear more than one gold hoop earring on each ear. And those people who have those huge big gold clown necklaces you get from argos.
Gold in general!

:o Yes! I so agree...very much so.
I work in a Supermarket and the worst thing, and I mean the worst thing is having to serve a smelly person. I don't just mean a slight whiff, I mean...so smelly and revolting that you cannot breathe. And I have to serve them. :(
One day, I'll end up saying "I'm sorry, but I can't serve you. Go away and have a wash first and then I'll consider it".
Oh, and old men with long nails. Oh how that makes me cringe. :no:

OMG, Yes. I work in a pharmacy and I once had this man come upto me and ask for something. His breath stunk of fish. I actually had to back away about 3 metres coz it was making me heave.
Then theres this other lady that comes up for paracetamol and omg, she smells. This makes me sad. :(

I used to get alot of that. The thing that pissed me off was the rampant body odour would hang around for so long the customer next to be served would think it was coming from me. So I got into the habit of commenting on the stink coming from the previous customer. My bosses told me to stop doing that.
It did have its plus sides though. I could fart then look disgusted at the smell "coming from" the customer standing at the till behind me.

Obviously you havent otherwise you'd understand where I am coming from. Tbh, Theres no need for smelly people anyway, shower gel is so cheap nowadays. Even if they had to go into a public disabled toilet and have a strip wash, theres really no need to smell.
Its like trampy looking people and people who havent ironed the tshirt that looks like the dogs slept on for a week. No need. Seriously.

Yeah, I have actually -
It's when a girl comes into the shop and stink with over done cheap perfume - then again could have cost her a fortune but who can tell when they apply half a bottle on themselves.
Fellas can be just as bad with their aftershave or deodarant.
Bless him :p
I'm sorry but you just sounded like a complete snob. :lol:

It's not like a cheap perfume smell, it's much worse. It's the type of smell where you think...I really can't stand this, I'm gonna throw up.

the worst one was working at the hairdressers, there was this lady who would come in who wouldnt wash her hair for three days prior to having it done.
i didnt realise at first and thought she worked at macdonalds...
i so wore the latex gloves washing her hair.

hows about those tight jeans that have 'sexy' 'honey' 'gorgeous' etc written across their arse in dimante... even worse is when you see 9 year olds wearing them!

What's really annoying is when someone wears trousers that are just that little bit too short. Particularly apparent in schoolboys when you can catch a glimpse of white sock. It's worse with jeans though, especially when they're flared - argh!

Low cut trousers and bellies.... If you've got it, flaunt it, if you haven't - COVER IT UP.
Creole earrings... £5 from Argos - so classy.
Hair in a high pony tail slicked back with wet look gel and 2 bits pulled out and glued to the side of your face. Just, stop it.
3 quarter length jeans and Nike trainers with WHITE legs. Go away. Get a tan.
Short skirts and cellulite. Please don't make me look at that.
Jeans so tight, you hang of them sideways. Buy some that FIT.
Pink outfit, blonde hair. Your name isn't Barbie, so don't even try it.
Sleeveless tops. Put away your bingo wings, save 'em for a sunday.
Sorry, got a bit carried away after 5... :o

And I just heard that Louisiana wants to make it illegal to flash your thong, which is great because I hate seeing people's thongs over their jeans. Hipsters and thongs are wrong.
