i wont lie about the flops (none / 0)
After a tropical trip I started wearing flops when I'm too lazy to put on socks around the neighborhood and after surfing.  When possible, I still do my best not to expose the feet and mostly stick to slip-on vans.  That whole rubber crok phenomenon is beyond me too.

What did you mean by giant glasses?

If you're referring to these, I agree 100%.  Granted, a lot of hot girls (annoyingly) wear them, along with a lot of girls who *want* to be hot (but aren't).

Either way it makes them look stupid and bitchy.

Certain fashion trends are relatively timeless, while others are clearly dated, and at some point we look back on them and realize just how ridiculous we looked (think tight rolled pants).  These giant glasses are a perfect example of something we'll look back on with disgust.  At some point people will wear them on Halloween and people will laugh and say "oh my God, that's so early 2006!" or whatever year.

100% right on the Glasses (none / 0)
I just don't get it.... but before the end of the day I thought I'd write down one more pet peeve.  Nosie *ss San Franciscans who tell you to pick up your dog's sh*t when your dog is either peeing or you have a bag in your pocket ready to go.  A bus driver once yelled at me for this when he was stopped and I went completely ape sh*t on him.  I know it's not good to rage, but sometimes when people get up all in your business it's hard not too. 

BTW - I take it you were a pegger back in the day!  It's all coming back now - "are you waiting for a flood to rise?"  What was just as absurd was the saftey-pinned pants leading into the super baggy skateboading pants before the whole sagging got big.  Now for the last several years we've seen the tight pant trend infiltrate the mainstream so I wonder what's next?  Personally, I think's it's time to bring back the hammer or maybe spandex....

Pegger? (none / 0)
At first I had no idea what you meant, then I thought maybe you meant BMXer (or something) and now I have to admit I just have no idea what that means.

Skater?  Either way, I was never any of those things. If you recall, I used to be a fat kid.


I tight rolled because it was somehow fashionable in about 5th grade or so.  As were IOU shirts and sweatshirts.  Oh, and Z Cavarrici (these and IOU deserved hyperlinks to images, but I couldn't find them).
