What are you superficial about?

Actually, a few years ago, Gucci made a bag that is very similar to the Coach signature collection. Instead of C's, they made their's with G's. It was Gucci who began the design and Coach copied it. I don't think the Gucci bags took off like the Coach bags did. This is what I learned while working in designer handbags at Bloomingdale's. I too had thought for a while that people looked cheesy carrying around obviously fake Coach bags only to learn later that they were carrying around a Gucci.

I'm superficial about moderators who delete posts for no good reason just because they disagree with them.

People who buy really trendy designer stuff. OH and those pointy toe shoes. Like pointy as in "if you fell on my foot I'd rip you a new asshole". They bother me adn I don't think they're cute at all. Why do u want your foot to look a few inches longer?

I think some of you are confusing 'superficial' with 'pet peeve' or 'annoyed with'. To me, being superficial is when you're critical of someone or something for a shallow reason (teeth, grammar, stitching, etc)

That was my fault with griping about Starbucks, sorry!

I'm just as guilty! BUT, it's not my fault! I was inspired by
layla2728, I just couldn't help myself!!!

ZTAngel,
Oh no, these bags are definitely fake Coach bags...the fake Coach bags here in LA are sold by some shady manufacturing company starts with a G (I don't know the name, I would never get that close to one of their vendors ). I don't think it is a possibility that the sixteen-year old girl working at Cinna-Bon at the mall is going to have a Gucci. I will admit though, when I was in Venice, Italy some of those street vendors sell some mighty realistic "designer" bags on the street but I just couldn't convince myself to buy one.

-The Tiffany heart tag bracelet, I've seen the real thing and hundreds of imitations so much over the last year that it makes me want to puke.

-Fairly short people who wear really long trenchcoats...we all have our personal clothing/style limitations, so please recognize them and dress accordingly...the coat is not SUPPOSED to trail on the ground behind you. I just want to shake these people and say, "You are not Keanu Reeves!!"

-Really gross frizzy hair that looks like it hasn't been brushed since the person rolled out of bed. My natural hair is very frizzy so I think this is one of those psychological "you hate in others what you hate in yourself" things, but with an hour and a half of my blowdryer and straighening iron the problem is totally cured. Why don't people make an effort to look presentable??

-Couples who are ALL OVER EACH OTHER in public places. This grosses me out and reminds me of how depressed that used to make me when I was single. Even now that I have a boyfriend it still disgusts me. Holding hands or or a few kisses is sweet, but full on sucking each others faces out is not cute and nobody else needs to see it!!!! Isn't making out more special when it's done in private anyway, rather than on display for the masses to see?

I am too busy to spend an hour and a half blowdrying and straightening my hair so sometimes it is frizzy.

I guess we can forgive you j/k

I think you are right, although I can see how people can get confused.

I am trying to think of a good way to express the difference lol . . .

Maybe the Jeans thread?

Pet Peeve: I hate when people don't turn right on red when the traffic is clear.

Superficial: There are two almost identical items and you will only buy the one with the designer label.

Or, using an example someone already posted (wihtout knowing it)
You know when someone is in a store and their bra straps are hanging out??? that's so tacky!!!!! (pet peeve)

I will not speak to someone because I think she's a whore if her bra straps hang out (superficiality).

I wasn't asking for forgiveness, lol. I am just surprised that she spends an hour and a half doing her hair. The funny part is when my hair is frizzy because of humidity, guys think that it is really wild and sexy. I can work that friizzy hair.

*Really bad spelling/grammar. I just can't stand it when grown up people can't spell basic words. Also when grown up people have horrible handwriting that looks like an elementary school student's.
*Fake nails. You know those really long ones with the weird designs and stuff on them? The other day, the woman sitting next to me on the subway had nails that must've been at the very least 2 inches long, and she needed to get out a baby wipe for her kid, and she couldn't open the box because her nails were so long. Why get nails like that if you can't do anything with them and they look horribly tacky?
*Anything that's imitation designer. I just can't stand it. If you can't afford the real thing, just buy something nice that doesn't have a cheesy, modified label on it. This goes for everything, purses, clothes, etc.

I hate (hate hate hate) dirty people. Like the ones who dont bathe or have dity under the nails. Or greasy hair!

I can kinda (sorta) understand a homeless person or some one who is currently working with their hands (like gardening or whatnot)

Otherwise there is not reason!!!!
