To add to my cellphone tirade (and I don't hate them, I own one and I see the usefulness but people are out of hand!!!) people who use the headsets with the clip on mic, and walk around talking on it. Do they realize how ridiculous they look talking to themselves if the cords aren't obvious? Sometimes I have to look at customers twice to see if they are on a day pass from the Alaska Psychiatric Institute or if they are on the phone.
Water is essential for good health and people don't usually drink enough. However it is not something one needs to accessorize with. Furthermore the Nalgene bottles in various colors to coordinate with outfits? Really people that is too far. Pairs up with the hiking/outdoors outfits for the office, unless perhaps one is a park ranger? I purchased a Nalgene bottle years ago for camping and still use it, plus it is more appropriate for Alaskan climates and situations.
My friend's boyfriend just bought his first new car. She purchased him a very nice CD player as a gift. There isn't a disc changer in the trunk or anything, just a single slot. He was made fun of because he has a remote control...it isn't that far of a reach. Heaven forbid he reaches an extra inch to press a button.
I hate the skank bag clothes in the Juniors department, some are cute but many are YUCK and are WHOREific. What is worse is that women who have daughters of that age, shop there TOO. I wish we could check IDs and say "Oh ma'am you were born in the 60's? Your department is this way thank you" Some people can rock it, and the fit is better for some, but those women don't buy the WHOREific items. Our misses department has some very stylish items that are with current fashion trends and made in sizes to fit women past puberty. I do realize that the clothes fit some people better, so I am not speaking of everyone, and I sure most people know the type I am commenting about.
Lastly, and I KNOW I will offend people and this is a PERSONAL dislike of a trend and not an attack to anyone. Tanning is a trend that can be very dangerous and I have seen some ill effects on people. Not just getting regular sunshine but burning to a crisp and thinking they look good. There is a parent in the school I work at and she looks disgusting. Some people take it too far. I realize the benefits, especially in Alaska with a dark season and that the lights can help with Seasonal Affective Disorder. It is damaging over time and on a lot of people looks unattractive. To be blunt it is winter in the Arctic, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE FOOLING? The worst offenders look a lot older than they are and the skin is gross and leathery. Like Magda from "There's SOmething About Mary."
