(FOUR) PBR ENTHUSIASTS
I get it. It’s cheap and college kids are typically poor. PBR was the cheap “go-to” beer for people. Then sometime in the past few years it has become fashionable. People drink PBR because it’s cheap, but in a really lame hipster ironic way. Seriously, just about ANYTHING domestic is better than PBR but you drink it “because you’re supposed to”. Is it still worth even drinking a beer if you’re drinking it to be ironic? I think not.
(THREE) BIG 80’S FRAMES/GRANDMA GLASSES
This is lame. Black glasses with the hipsters… yeah. Whatever. We get it, someone you’re copying copied Elvis Costello or Buddy Holly. This fad has rose and there’s nothing to really do about it. Black frame glasses are part of life. Can we all work together and void this one together? The old big framed 80’s glasses that a Jewish grandpa would wear are now part of the “in thing”. I saw some NBA players wearing them. They don’t look “hip” or “cool”. They look like they should be in special education. Not cool.
(TWO) “AS SEEN ON TV” EXERCISE EQUIPMENT
Weights, bikes, treadmills, and all the basic stuff is really all you need. It’s NOT easy to stay in shape. No matter what random device you’re using, you have to eat right and sweat to lose weight. Random devices with random shitty celebrities as their spokes models are dumb. I respect Chuck Norris, but I don’t want to buy anything from him other than facial hair grooming equipment. I think Suzanne Summer is still hot for an older woman, but I don’t want to use a thigh master. The shake weight? C’mon! I even remember those weird thick rubber bands that they tried to push on people. Then there’s the whole exercise machine with like a million little shitty exercises to use on it. It’s all the same… just get active.
(ONE) “YEAH, YEAH, YEAH…”
This is starting to stick out to me a little too much lately. It’s not even like people are really purposely trying to be mean about this. It’s not so much of a blow off, but rather a new interjection that seems to part of the 2011 modern era vernacular. In the middle of a conversation you’ll hear someone quickly say “yeah, yeah, yeah” as they listen -slash- wait for their chance to talk next. It seems like two big things here. I think people are too busy to enjoy a conversation these days that don’t involve emoticons, lol’s, or little screens. So it’s like they’re saying “yeah, yeah, yeah… press the send button! Let me respond!” You can just nod or use some sort of acknowledgement to the other person that you’re listening.
