Fashion trends I hate!

Im in my mid thirties now, and therefor think I qualify for one of my first "those damned kids these days!" moments.

That said, there are two things the younger folks are doing fashion wise that drive me up a damn tree!

1. The stickers on the ball caps. What in the HELL is with the keeping the stickers on the ball caps!? Peel those things off you dopes!

2. Wearing pajama pants in public. This one has become so prevalent that my former high school had to alter the dress code to stop kids from doing. It looks so damned stupid!

Old man rage!!!!!!

Okay... I feel a little better.

My daughter is a teacher and has to be on her feet most of the day. She wears Crocs and her students say "Nice shoes teach." with a snicker.

My mom & I were leaving the restaurant, there was a Mennonite family waiting, one daughter had on Nikes and 2 boys about 5 & 7 had their blue pants, blue shirts, suspenders and on their feet Crocs.

all my days are "those damned kids these days".

I am more disgusted with the tattoo/piercing trend, but maybe that is because these things are permanent disasters as opposed to the mullet haircut or the pants down below the underwear trends.

Oh, and my god, the high high heeled shoes! That may be permanent damage as well.

It's just harder to spot because it's stretched out so much longer since the tapir borrowed it.

I watched a guy who dressed like that get evicted from my sister's upper, and while he had something over his head, his pants fell down.

My BIL and I nearly died laughing.

... is gangsta. It has also always seemed to me that something a REAL gangsta (as opposed to
a poser gangsta) is going to really, REALLY want to do when the occasion demands is haul ass.

Good luck with your pants already halfway to your knees.

done properly I guess it looks okay but nine times out of ten, it looks like they slept on it. And it gives an awful, boxy look to the head. It looks ridiculous!
