I don't care for Precious Moments or Kincaid either, but I consider them more "cutsey" than tacky.

* Not to beat the Christmas decoration bit to death, but anyone who still has their Christmas decorations up come Valentines Day is totally tacky!

* Re-gifting, if you don't want it just give the darn thing away please, don't wrap it as a gift, just hand it to someone.

* Selling used socks, undies and bras at a yard sale (yes, I saw this done) YUCK! and double YUCK!

* Telling someone sho is not very very very close to you about your bodily functions. Can we all say TMI!?

* Driving a Humvee when you don't live in the desert or the outback. I can't see any reason for this except to show everyone that you can afford a Humvee. It's not like you need to dodge landmines or climb mountains in suburbia.

EWWWWW

There are people with fake toenails?!!!!!!!

 

[snoopy]

Yup, gotta agree with the Christmas lawn ornaments. Something about a 6 foot illuminated Baby Jesus just seems sacreligious to me........

 

[sharbear]

Women who shouldn't wear a thong, with clingy knits. Yuck!!!

People who feel that they have to outbrand you. My sister does this and it drives me crazy. She has to be so much smarter and with it than you and name drop all these luxury items. I say that I want a Trek bike and she says, oh no I want a Bianchi bike. Always has to be more obsure and more expensive. Ugh!!!!!

 

[Deb in IA]

People who drive by with their windows down and their car radio blaring SO LOUD that pedestrians cannot carry on a normal conversation . . .


And do you notice that it is always the MOST OBNOXIOUS rap-hip/hop garbage that they play????

 

[cabmom]

People who ask how much money you make, or what things cost!!! MYOB!

Using the WDW condiment bar to make a salad.

 

[~Sparkly~Zoe]

Girls with low-riders and thong underwear. Makes me want to give them the wedgie of their life!

 

[CourtasanSatine]

people who ask where things came from,I always get asked that about my army peacoat(it was my dad's)

 

[Mad4Mickey]

Dodie..... YES it is true! It is nasty and true, I see it at the mall all the time. My DD is a high school cheerleader and when I took her up to camp we saw tons of young girls with fake nails painted in wild colors .

Again
EWWWWWW

 

[Disbug]

How about those shorts/pants with sayings across the bottom like, "100% B-_ _ _ _!"

 

[Banshee]

Oh yeah! really tacky when a young girl maybe 12 or 13 walking thru the mall with mom with those shorts on that say sexy across her butt and a tank top!!!!! Also it drives me crazy and sceeves me out but my MIL gave me panties and bra's from the thrift shop!!!! they were strechted out EEWW gross!! Also she decorates her x-mas tree pre 1971 with these tacky little plastic santa's that are cracked and broken and those silky thread covered balls that are all frayed and fuzzy!! And yes the garland that is like a flourescent green and probably about 6 inches round!! And please dont any one be offended but the big multi colored lights on the house's it just remind's me of joes bar and grill! And yes the chunky girls with the hip huggers and belly shirts with the rolls hanging over! Also please correct me if I am wrong but my oldest DS went thru kindergarten last year and at x-mas made a ton of absolutely adorable ornaments for the tree he was so proud and came home and said I made them just for you mommy! But.....My Mil (yes again) actually got very nasty with me and told me that I should actually give her at least half of what he made!!! I asked her why and she said well he is my first grandson (not the only grandkid) and I told her well sorry but he is my first son!! That I thought was very TACKY!

 

[Banshee]

Also when I said my MIL gave me panties and bras from the thrift shop they were for x-mas!! wrapped in wrapping paper I used on their presents the year before! She gave my SIL toiletries from the hospital where she works!! a little tooth brush and little soaps and shampoo's! I kid you not!!

ROTFL @ Snoopy!

We saw a young girl with writing on her bum the other day and my dh said, "Why doesn't it just say 'look at my bum' ???"
Tacky!

Onto Christmas again... my inlaws have these HUMONGOUS multi-colored lights for their tree and you just KNOW they are gonna start a fire any minute. They also have a metallic star for the top. IMO they have the TACKIEST tree I have ever seen. And they think it's beautiful. We have little white lights on our tree- my dh is now a convert to white lights vs. colored.
The whole "inflatable" lawn ornament thing too- there is a house around here that has a 10' Grinch for their lawn. It was always about half inflated....

 

[Bumbles]

Since it's almost that time of year, I have issues wth people who pass out religious "tracks" instead of Halloween candy.....if you're going to take part in Halloween festivities, please don't push your beliefs on my kid in lieu of sugar filled goodies

 

[Harambe]

sceeves me out . . .

I haven't heard that term for ages! LOL! Yeah - the used underwear is beyond beleif!

 

[tkyes]

Courtasan - I occassionally ask people where they got things from, I kind of thought it was a compliment, implying that I really like what they are wearing. I didn't realize some might consider it tacky.


I have a couple tacky things in mind, but don't want to offend anyone, so I'll keep them to myself. I'm sure there are plenty of things that I do that some would consider tacky too.

I agree, I dont like getting those religous books for halloween.

SUVs! Any SUV! If you have not used it for the off roading, or dont intend to, you are just on a power trip with your willy car.

The picturers above are my reasons!
