Oooh, TKE209Sweethrt, does that include flip flops with jeans?

uh, what is wrong with this? not only do i wear sandals with jeans, but i see plenty of others that do too. and it looks really good. dont see how this is a problem for you.



edited to add-
maybe it is geographical, cause you see it everywhere here

You have absolutely no cause to say something so uncouth to a nice lady like tippiechick. Tone it down.

I have to agree with you, Smiley. It goes back to when I was in high school and it was all the rage to wear your birkis with your jeans, even when it got cold (and by cold I mean 60 degrees ;)). Now I have students who don't understand that pantyhose and dress shoes are necessary evils for dressy occasions. They just want to wear their J. Crew flip flops :p

Ok, I've read this thread and thought much of it was silly but then I went to get my nails done today and the owner of the shop was wearing white athletic socks with flip flops.. so add me to the superficial thread!

Dee

lol. i can't stand that either

ok here's mine.... sorry if i offend anyone :p

-socks with sandals. no.

-bad teeth. if you cant afford braces, at least get some crest white strips... they're only like $20/box.

-people who dress sloppily (sp?). even when i am sick, or when i have an 8am, or during finals, if I am going out in public, i dress well. im sorry, but i cant stand it when people go out in public (other than to get the mail or whatever) in sweats and t-shirts. and guys, none of that "skater" crap. pull your pants up. i dont want to see you underwear or your crack.

-bad hair. 80s are over, move on. i cant stand bleach-blonde hair, colors that dont occur in nature (or dont look like they should have occured on your head), and i can NOT stand chunky highlights.... i think they look so cheap... get them nautral looking, or just stand out in the sun a bit.

-well, anything from the 80s. bright blue eyeshadow, bright pink lipstick, big hair, legwarmers (why is nordstroms selling them all of a sudden??), spandex... anything.

-snotty rich rude people. you may have 1000x more money than i do, but that doesnt really make you all that better of a person. you can have $5 to your name and be a better person than i. it's all about you, not what you own.

-this kinda goes with rude people... bad drivers. just becuase you own a [insert name of expensive car], does not mean that you own the road. pull your head out of your ass and drive like a normal person.

-nasty feet. get a pedicure... they're only like $20.

-unkempt eyebrows. if you're in between waxings, okay.... but take care of them. that can make your face look so much better.

-if you have big boobs, WEAR A BRA. A and B cups can get away without a bra (even though i still hate that look), but if you're a C or larger, wear a bra. especially if your boobs sag down to your belly button (i know 20 somethins whose chests are like that and i find it so gross). and dont wear a bra with straps with a tanktop or anything.... invest in a good, well supporting strappless bra, at least one in your skin color.

sorry, but apparently there are alot of things that bother me....

:rolleyes:

Things that pick me:

-Icky teeth
-B.O. (oftentimes, the smelly person in question will, in fact, bathe everyday, but they wear the same clothes 4 days in a row, and therefore, the clothes stink. I have seen this on Teenaged Male Students).

Phrases such as "Can I steal a piece of gum?" or "Can I borrow a piece of gum? Yes, I will give you a piece of gum, but please KEEP it, don't give it back....

I also loathe the phrase "I lied", as in when someone says:
"Main Street is 3 blocks away, no I lied, it's 4 blocks away". It just sounds very stupid to me. :rolleyes:

The End

Well Hells bells-guess what. I don't ALWAYS wear a bra and I'm not an a b OR c! After nursing, you kinda end up looking like those National Geographic women working in the fields who throw their boobs over their shoulders so they are out of the way!

If you come knock on my door, you may get a surprise!

I LIVED the 60's man!.............................................. .......still am!:p

hahaha justamom, you're too funny :)

It is raining so my hair is extra frizzy tonight! Plus I don't wax or tweeze my eyebrows. They are au natural. Now I am going to take off my bra and put on white pants, white shoes, blue eyeshadow, and spandex just to freak you all out! No I lied, I'm just going to sit here surfing GC.

;) :p

CTFU!

Cream I would so put on blue eye shadow in your honor if I owned any! And white pants too, but I don't own any of those either.

I don't really own any blue eyeshadow...anymore. I wore that stuff in the 80s, and I looked goooood. ;)

OMG, this is so funny, my sides are aching from laughing so hard. i have heard this before!!

blue eyeliner. ick.

people who talk about themselves all the time. I don't care.



OK this is random but I was shopping the other day with my cousin and we were looking at jackets. well I turned around and there was this ugly ass jacket that looked like terrible flowerdy wallpaper and I thought my cousin was looking at it & about to try it on. I immediately grabbed the jacket & was like "Hello no, no no.." then I noticed it wasn't my cousin, it was some other lady..Oooops!! Oh well I did her a favor.

I've been in Bed Bath and Beyond and seen couples registering for items such as shower curtain liners. Not the wonderful magical anti bacterial lifetime ones. The $2.99 ones. Wtf?!?!?

I'm pretty snobby about housewares, too. I've eaten off Wedgwood everyday china my entire life, (except for the "good china" occasions) and getting married isn't going to stop that. If you get the good stuff at the outset, you'll have it for a lifetime.

White after labor day, especially white shoes gets me. It says "I didn't care enough to transition my wardrobe into the fall" It stays quite warm here well into October (hell, it was 79 today!) and casual open-toed shoes are okay, but the white ones just scream "SUMMER!" and don't look right.

Pantyhose and open toed shoes are another one. It just looks ignorant to me. Should I choose open-toed shoes for my bridesmaids, I'll provide them each with a pair of toeless hose, should they want to wear them. Now to break FI's mom of the habit...

Taper ankle jeans bother me. They have been out of style for so incredibly long, any leftovers from the early 90s should have worn out by now! Why don't people get that, yeah, your ankles may look tiny, but your ass looks huge in those things!

I'm superficial about fake purses. Especially the ones that are screen printed Scarlett O'Hara on a Sam shape with a Kate Spade label. If you MUST do a fake, get one that actually looks like the original. If you cant' afford the real thing, though, get something you can afford without a logo.

I'm incredibly curious about this one...

Are white athletic shoes banned in the "no white after labour day" rule as well? I generally follow the rule, but I do wear my white sneaks almost any time I wear jeans.

Originally, the rule was more along the lines of "Only wear white shoes between Memorial Day and Labor Day." Furthermore, it mainly applied to white pumps or dress shoes. White tennis shoes and off-white boots seem exempt, as are any shoes worn by a winter bride. "Winter white" clothing (e.g., cream-colored wool) is acceptable between Labor Day and Memorial Day too.

One of my favorite quotes ever was made by a GC member - I can't remember who anymore.

she said "White feet only belong on babies, bunnies, and brides!" :D

I just wouldn't wear white athletic shoes in the first place.

Halitosis is pretty unforgiveable. Now, I can handle a small case of garden variety bad breath, because I like my Caesar Salad as much as the next girl.

I am talking about that gross gross gross, extreme bad breath known as halitosis, where the person pretty much smells like they are decaying from the inside out. Get thee to a dentist (and possibly a doctor!) because something is definitely WRONG if your breath is that bad!

My dog must have that. His breath is rotten.

You're half right- most dogs' teeth rot and decay throughout their whole life, hence the nasty-trashdump-decaying corpse smell.

mine too.

Are there dentists for dogs? I am not being facetious. I don't have a dog so I'm wondering. :)

Most vets offer this service.


Hotdamn-When I read your response I died laughing!

Your reply????
HotdamnImaPhiMu-mine too

Now at first glance, it appeared you were being critical of yourself!

Ok-better sign off. Too much green tea!

I know what you mean - my one dog has really bad breath :( A lot of it depends on the breed, i.e. our labrador is the smelly one with bad breath, and our german shepherd is completely odorless, both in mouth and body.

The vet can clean her teeth when we take her in, but there are other things you can do to help them keep their teeth clean - i.e. chew rawhide bones and eat dog biscuits that are specifically designed to help with breath and dental health. Although those things don't really do much to help for longer than an hour or so...

Yes, there are veterinary dentists. (I saw on TV once, they were working on a gorilla's teeth). The animal would have to put "under" though, for the Doc to get anywhere, progress wise.

I will admit that I am pretty picky about how other people present themselves, I will be blunt about it in a nice way if necessary. I agree with some items on your list, and disagree with others (but I can agree to disagree b/c I am willing to compromise) but I do think that #6 on your list is a little harsh. I went through a phase between the ages of 18-20 when I had really bad skin. I went to doctors and tried a variety of prescriptions to help clear the problem. Lucky for me I found something that has worked and now my skin is flawless, but I do know some people who were no as lucky and still struggle with acne in their twenties. I am a realist and I understand that some people don't make the effort...but lets take into account the people have have, and still do make the effort to correct a problem that they are always being judged on.

I love my mama's little dog to death, but I did give him a large supply of doggie breath mints in his Christmas stocking! I think they were called Yippee Yaps or something like that - dog bone-shaped breath mints!

Y'all would like him - he's a little fluffy white Bichon, and wears a red coat with matching collar & lead in this weather!

justamom, I am VERY sensitive about my corpse-rotting breath. So's my dog.


:D maybe I should have hit the "refresh" button and checked out Jules' post first, huh?

I've been superficial about people's conversations lately! Who the hell asks someone how old they are right after asking their names?

THANK YOU!!!! I was at the opera the other night, and you would not believe how many obvious pantyhose colors (like black or dark brown) I saw with open-toed shoes. People...they make Hanes toeless hose for $6.99. Buy a pair. Rejoice.

Actually, I was pretty shocked at the clothes I saw. I was wearing a simple black dress, but I saw everything from guys in khakis and tennis shoes to teenagers in obvious prom dresses. There was this one girl who had a neckline going down to her belly button...and she had no boobs. Gross, and totally inappropriate.

Pet peeve--rude customers! I work in a department store, and it's like...don't be a biotch. There's no reason for it, and it's tacky.

I HATE when people dress inappropriately for the occasion. When you go to a 5 star restauraunt DRESS UP, if you are going to work, don't wear a tank top, and put some pantyhose on with that business suit.

Teeth are a BIG one for me.

Hair, not to say I have the most BEAUTIFUL hair in the world, but I spend A LOT of time making my hair what I consider "presentable" (some may say too much time) and if someone can't even bother to WASH theirs, I'm sorry I will be a snob and say "eww" like summer from the OC.

As for white after labor day, I don't think we here in california really listen to that rule, probably because in February it can be like 70 degrees.

~People who dress in head to toe designer clothes-- complete with bag and shoes--and then bitch about an extra 15 cents to add cheese to their sandwich. This has happened so many times to me and I can't stand it.

~People who are overly brand whores. Your Escalade does not need to look like your matching Gucci purse.

~People with bad table manners. And noisy eaters. I can't eat next to some who eats and chews loudly.

~Preteens and their whole sub-culture. They can help their attitude problems.

Ok, I'm stopping now. I can go on all night.

Here's a good one...

I was at a really nice place for brunch today. (It was in Buckhead, for all you Atlanta people.) The girl at the table next to me had her hair in CURLERS. LOTS of them. She was wearing cheerleading clothes, so I'm assuming she had some kind of tournament. But still...I thought that was something everyone knew? She also had this gigantic ridiculous bow in her hair.

When she walked out, my mom and I just started cracking up...and my mom is about the least superficial person in the world.

What the hell does that word mean!

I yam, what I yam, and dont eat green sh*t, gets in my teeth and looks bad!:(

Posture
 

- Posture. I cannot stand people who don't stand up straight. It aggravates me, particularly when it's tall men. I tell my tall male friends to stand up straight all the time. It works too. Even if they respond with 'ok mom'.

SDTSarah...You saw someone in curlers? in PUBLIC? Thats just awful.

*I know its been said repeatedly but EYEBROWS! I'll pay for you to get them waxed, really I will. There was a girl I worked with once who had a unibrow and because she had such a small forehead her eyebrows actually met her hairline. I never could look at her when she spoke to me.

*Sweatpants, yoga pants, pj's in class, the mall or anywhere that is not the gym or at home. There is no need. Wear real pants. I workout six days a week and dance twice a week. It's disrespectful to others to present yourself in sweats. Even in the library during finals.

I feel better now. And I'm so happy to hear other people have an eyebrow issue too!

Ok, I was a competition cheerleader for two years. When we are on the road for competitions, we have to have curlers in our hair up until about a half hour before we compete. That means we spend the entire morning with our hair in curlers. Since we are on the road, that means we have to eat and appear in public.

I'm just saying.
