Things you hope will decline in popularity

All the FIBs just cross the WI border and live in my city while they get their nice paychecks in IL. 90% of the time if a driver cuts you off where I live, they're from IL.

It's not me, I promise I am a very considerate driver!

If they'd just stop selling those cheap, see-through yoga pants every high school girl wears to school, I'd be grateful. It's hard to walk up stairs with my eyes closed so I don't see body stuff I really shouldn't be able to see.



That trend came and left here, where's it still popular?

I still see it around here (central Kentucky), but mostly just in certain sections.

Political correctness.

selfie sticks

Learned a new game on vacation this year, we were at Arches National park. Well we all remember the "slug bug" game, young couple walks past us, she taps him on shoulder and says, "selfie stick" After that everytime the DW and I would see one we would do the same, it was a fun time!

I wish blaming political correctness when one is caught being uncouth would become less popular.

Skinny Jeans taking over the stores. Newsflash: there's still a need for curvy jeans.

Sprinkles: the non-shower baby shower. Bonus points when it's a sprinkle given to a woman with a not even 2 year old of the same gender as the baby-to-be

Big gender reveals. I've seen some cool family only ones that are really special for the FAMILY, and I'm totally ok with those. The rest of the world is excited to just see a post on facebook.

Misuse of the word "literally".

I wish using gender when you mean sex would become less popular. People do not have a gender. Language has gender. People have a sex. Male or female. And in this day and age you don't have to stick with the one you were given.

The Germans practice gender discrimination. We're protesting.

Oh really? You know I've always thought Der got better things to be before than Die or Das? THAT'S GENDER DISCRIMINATION!!! I'll be there.

I wish the watered down use of freely interchanging since for because would become less popular. It has become so bad, so widespread, the wrong usage has become right. Even the dictionaries have it now.

Since you are pouting, I'm sending you to your room. No!! It is because!!!
Since I got back from the store, you have done nothing but pout. Yes, that is since.


Misuse of literally. I am literally rolling on the floor laughing. No you're not. You're literally typing and indicating you thought it was really funny. You're figuratively rolling on the floor laughing.

Irregardless. Just don't. NO. Don't do it. It's regardless.

Ugggh. I just used one thing I hope becomes less popular.

You know...... Uh well if I know why bother telling it to me? I assume you're telling me because you think I don't know.

Man buns.

I HATE them.

Price increases at WDW and Disneyland

Supposedly about one third of all Americans have some sort of tattoo.
The positive side of that is, even if only a portion want to get rid of their tattoos 10 to 15 years from now, investing in companies that make lasers that remove tattoos could be very profitable.
A lady I work with got several when she was in the Air Force 20 years ago. As she puts it..."I wouldn't have gotten them if I had know how things were going to sag as I aged"

Which ones have you invested in?

High waisted shorts and pants.....yes yes I know I wore them all the time as a teenager but that was back when I had a waist; since then my waist has disappeared somewhere in the middle age spread!!

I wish blaming political correctness when one is caught being uncouth would become less popular.

Misuse of the word "literally".

Yes to both of these, 100%

I haven't read the whole thread, so I don't know if it's been mentioned, but SANCTIMOMMIES. They drive me insane. Although on the flip side, there will probably be a huge increase in the need for therapists, so maybe all the kids majoring in psychology right now will have job security!

they will be above needing therapy, it's the REST of the world that has issues

Country music (in its current form, that is)
"Reality" TV that has little connection to reality
"Reality" TV that celebrates ridiculous people like the Duggars or the Gosselins

I literally TOTALLY agree!

I loathe the Duggars with a passion
