Tacky things you hate

token101

I think it's tacky when people take on innane or recreational tasks under the guise of charity and expect money.

People sellings things, fair enough, you get the product, they get the cash. Good deal. Bands performing a concert, same thing. Basically they perform a service and they hand their rewards to charity. Good on them, happy to help.

But people looking for money for things like that Electric Picnic cycle, bungee jumps and sky dives coming to mind aswell. I'm not paying for you to go a concert or do a f****** skydive! Ill just give the money directly to the charity myself if I'm interested in their cause!

I got an email from a girl I work with looking for 20 euro so she can dive off a platform this weekend. F*** off! That's a recreational activity for you! Why don't I just give the money to them directly and cut you out? pay for your own f****** bungee jump unless your leaving the rope out. Will you give me 20 quid if I drink a few pints later? Yeah, thought not. I'll tell you what though, if you walk into the tiger enclosure at Dublin Zoo on all fours wearing that dress of meat that Lady Gaga wore I'll give you a tenner because I'd enjoy that more than any calendar or gig.

Young lads who grease the front of their... fringe is the only word I can describe it as... so it looks like greasy spider legs on their forehead. Puke

Fellas who wear skinny jeans.... I just can't see how they think it looks good. Nothing against skinny guys, just the jeans.

Jewellery with 'Mum' 'Sista' etc on them

Facebook status updates along the lines of 'hungover.com' 'OMG.com'

Anything Paul's Boutique... vile stuff. Last week I saw a family (guessing) of a Grandmother, mother and 3 young girls all wearing the exact same black puffy sort of jacket with a bright pink Paul's Boutique on the back.

Lip liner that's a different colour to the lipstick

Oh it's great to be perfect!

I'm not too fond of Madonna piercings or tramp stamps. One girl I saw before had a huge Nike tick tramp stamp, why would you do that to yourself?

1. Fake tan - looking like an umpa lumpa is NOT sexy

2. those awful pikey gold/brass earrings those women from clondalkin/tallaght area like to wear

I take photos of funny things when I see them. Not sure how that's in any way unusual.

Here's another.

I hate the sticky bit that gets left behind after you remove sellotape.

It's really tacky.

Tramp stamps--usually a dolphin or the Chinese for "Chicken Chow Mein--emblazoned on a woman's lower back. I have seen some nice exceptions but 9 times out of ten...

Millicent

Also, anything Playboy on or owned by little girls. WTF sort of parents do those kids have? It's not cute, it's not funny--it's the symbol for a company, where a legion of topless models have lined up to sleep with a man with the face of a ball sack. It's not appropriate for anyone below the age of majority.

I have yet to see a shop front without lies on it ...load of them usually .

I kinda with agree with this, you can have a tacky lower back tattoo, you can have a great lower back tattoo. You can have an uber tacky tattoo anywhere on your body really.

Example- The whole of Jodie Marsh

People who drive around with dublin flags and reindeer antlers on their car.

Hmm, taking photos of the working class to take the pi$$ out of; is that funny or just being a snob?

Defo agree with this. A few years ago - in a very clever and ironic/smartarse way - I was going to get "I've got a tiny cock" in Thai tattooed across my lower abdomen. In some ways I'm glad I didn't but I still think it's funny.

I should say I like tattoos--would probably be covered in them long ago if I could have afforded it. I just hate the lack of imagination shown in a lot of them. If you're going to bother indelibly marking yourself for life, why pick some crappy symbol or animal you have no emotional connection with?

A hen is a female chicken.

MistyCheese

Chicken is the entire species. Although chicken actually meant baby chickens at one time it is know used to refer to the whole. A male chicken is called a rooster and female chicken is called a hen. Poultry is the correct term for chickens.

That just reminded me of another similar tacky show - ''bridalplasty''
the 'reality' show where brides-to-be live together and compete to win plastic surgeries.
''congratulations you've won this weeks challenge - you get to choose one of the surgeries from your wish list'' :rolleyes:

Some of those Tramp Stamps are like magazines in the bathroom. Gives you something to read when you're in the ****ter.

The horror. 0.o You know I'm being in no way facetious when I say that apostrophe
bothers me more than the tatt. And that's saying something. I wanna follow the owner round with a red marker to cross that off.

May have been mentioned before but men wearing any jewellery other than non 'bling' type watch or wedding ring.

wilkie2006

People playing really loud music from their cars (especially when they've their windows open)
Stag and hen parties (well, just the loutish, arsehole ones)
Dull people who venerate vacuous celebrities
Bad grammar on painted shop signs, like: "Today's special's...", or "childrens menu" (come on, at least two people must've read the fu£king thing before it was put up)
