Annoying trends that must be stopped.

My nominee: the '10 Things...' slide show. Some genius decided we dopes out in media consumption land like shiny stories featuring lists of things, but we don't have the ability to scroll down anymore. We must like to click on arrows to get to the next item, because we also don't have the attention span to absorb more than one screen of information on one subject at a time. We also evidently must have every item on the list represented by a photo or video, because we're such greedy media consumers, we bastards, and we need visual stimulation more than textual engagment!

1. Pants with belt around ass or even lower.

Sorry guys, I know fashions change, but that looks idiotic and always has.

15. LOL...Several years ago I witnessed an 11-or-so-year-old boy

playing with sand at the playground. He was trying to make a moat, but after attempting to run 10 or 15 yards to the water fountain, and back, with a plastic bottle while hitching up his pants repeatedly, he stripped off the crippling "fashionable" low-slung jeans with the crotch close-to-between-his-knees and wore his boxer shorts to run to get several more containers of water, then slipped back into his jeans.

19. sorry i love that style, i hardly ever have to chase a perp further than 30 yards before

they fall flat on their face or get snagged trying to climb a fence, i would have no chance against an 18 year old if his pants were worn normal...

2. Companies that charge you to talk to a customer service rep.

Nothing pisses your customers off faster than screwing up and then charging them for fixing your screw up.

3. Yep, internet feature fatigue. nt

I actually had to retouch the photo a little bit... clean
it up, so to speak.
.
It came from a blog article (didn't stop to read it) titled
something like, "ATM's and Rest Rooms".
.
Now that you mention it, I probably should have taken the
time to read it.
