Tacky things you hate

Guill · 26-01-2012 9:40pm #1

Maybe I am just odd or old or maybe I just have an over inflated opinion of things but does anyone else consider the following tacky?

Getting a Stretch Hummer to your Wedding, Christening, Grad, Hen or generally anything. What is the point of arriving at a special occasion in a gloriously oversize illuminous behemoth that symbolises nothing only your ability to waste money.

Playing The Voyage at a wedding, :mad:.

Wearing a Jersy to a night club/party.

Text speak in e-mails when not dealing with friends, I get messages from employees that are illegible at times. At least show some intelligence when dealing with the guys that review you.

Agree? Anymore?

Pedants can piss off.

Tacky as in: In bad taste

Leopard skin type stuff. I'm not sure where it comes from but it's really tacky to me. A lot of women, even my (youngish!) age seem to like it, whether it's a coat or a pillow or something so I wouldn't ever bother voicing the opinion in real life.
It also reminds me of poaching and stuff a bit thinking about it. Maybe it's a subconscious thing.

Maybe you started the trend accidentally and now they're only trying to emulate you out of fear/respect?

Swearing on your dad's , mam's, child's or boxer's life/grave. Sounds so base.

Chelsea Tractors.

Any four wheel drive not being used to haul a trailer or go off-road is simply an obnoxious use of two tons of metal that takes up more than the driver's legitimate share of the road...

Concrete reproductions of classic sculptures in gardens, yeah like the Venus de Milo looks good alongside a gnome flashing his arse. Overly groomed dogs, love the dogs, just hate the owners for what they do to them.
