Tacky
 
Wearing white socks with black shoes. Worse, wearing white socks (or any socks, for that matter) with sandals.

Turning tires onto their side, painting them white, and planting flowers in the middle.

Pantylines.

Wearing a bikini top to the grocery store.

Having an upholstered couch on your front porch.

Continuing to display hanging baskets with withering or dead flowers in them.

Christmas lights up all year, unless you're physically unable to take them down. And if that's the case, please don't turn them on unless it's holiday season.


This message brought to you by Paula, who's in a very snarky mood today. Anyone else care to share some tack? :D

6 inches of dark roots, unless you're Shakira

whatever makes you say that? :woohoo:

it's just sooooo rude, you know? but i guess unless you've worked at a restaurant, you don't understand how much time & effort go into closing up shop.

David 06-12-2006 12:01 PM

Using a funeral as a business opportunity (for example, distributing business cards to mourners, placing cell phone calls to business clients).

skcin 06-12-2006 12:03 PM

Women of a certain age wearing tube tops or halter tops. Without a bra. :eek:

Shiny metallic baby blue eyeshadow. Mascara in colors other than black or brown.

Cutting an old bathtub in half & standing it up in the ground, then putting a statue of the virgin Mary in it.

Artificial flowers. Especially outside in a garden.

Oh man - I used to work in a place (back in my rest. days) where we had a regular who arrived every day 5 minutes before the end of lunch. AAAArgh, 4 people had to stay for one customer for an extra 45 minutes at each lunch! They finally changed the closing time to a half hour later, and then he STILL came 5 minutes before closing. He said he liked having the place to himself. I think there is a special place reserved for him in the afterlife.

BTFLCHLD 06-12-2006 12:05 PM

JazmenFlowers 06-12-2006 12:06 PM

This all makes me think of Burning Man. :laugh: If I look through my photos I might be able to find all these items in one Burning Man pic...perhaps not the tube top.

puts you in a murderous rage, no? we have this lady who comes in almost every night ... she's like 120 years old, and we call her the cat lady because she always talks about her cats (one of which is named gandalf, which i find really cute), and she's been coming in RIGHT at 9 when we close, and she takes for-ev-er to eat ... and then sometimes she'll sit there after she's finished and pay her bills. grrrrrrrrrr. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Shut. Up.

I'm not to into labels, I actually think most LV stuff is fug.

But I think that if you can't afford the real thing, don't bother. I just don't get it.

Long red hooker fingernails. Sorry, Stevie.



Banana clips.

Men with longish 70's porn mustaches. Ala' Magnum PI.

misspelling the name of a good friend you've known for 10 years on a thank you card.

skcin 06-12-2006 12:26 PM

Coming to someone's house for a cookout/dinner/party/whatever and not bringing anything.

DrummerDeanna 06-12-2006 12:29 PM

Sending someone a card with Merry Christmas or whatever crossed out and "Happy Birthday" written in.

No stinkin' bathtub was good enough for my grandma - she actually made my grandpa build a wooden shelter for her Virgin statue :laugh:

You should have seen the shelter she had him build for her Christmas Nativity scene....that woman had some damn fine lawn shrines :laugh:

Sadly her statue of St. Frances was recently stolen...it's so easy to screw with the old :p

sara1998 06-12-2006 12:58 PM

Wearing shorts that are so short, half of you ass is hanging out.... at Disney World. And he was at least 20 years older then she was. Where's my vomiting smilie?

David 06-12-2006 12:58 PM

1. Condolence cards

2. Sticking one's bare feet out the passenger window of the truck

3. Leaving paper advertisements on people's windshields

4. Chewing/popping gum in public

skcin 06-12-2006 01:02 PM

^ Why are condolence cards tacky? I mean, I don't love them or anything, but I thought seding them was good etiquette? :shrug:

Oh, and spot on with the bare feet out the pickup truck wondow. :nod:

condolence cards are tacky? i've never received one ... or given one ... but hm. i think a lot of cards in general are tacky. i agree with 2 & 4, but 3 isn't tacky to me ... just annoying.

I'm sorry! Geez! Why do you even have parties if you can't even afford the stuff you need for a party? You should be happy I even drank so much of your cheap ass beer. I give and I give....:distress:

Oh, fine, take away my most joyous summer hobby. I don't know if you've noticed, but feet can get very, very hot in the summer. There is nothing more refreshing than the cool breeze blowing through your toes, legs up and akimbo...

He brought her to the Santa cruz boardwalk the other day. Her ass was still hanging out, and they had two kids.
