1-Smokers
2-Old fat men in Speedos I'm old so I can say that and NO I don't do it.

Binthair Aug 18th, 2003 06:48 PM

How about a wrinkly, saggy old woman with her jeans unbuttoned? Yes, intentionally. At St. Armand's circle in Sarasota. Smoked too.

To file under "is it that people no longer have mirrors or class?": Fat chixx in low rise pants.

traci_local_in_sa Aug 18th, 2003 11:54 PM

low rise pants and non-low rise thong - you get a view of underwear and expanse of butt = charming :-(

Tattoos. Slight exemption for those originating from military service.

SandyFeet Aug 19th, 2003 04:59 AM

The improper wearing of black and white...white shoes black pants it reminds me of Mumenshantz (sp?)
Older women wearing brittany Spears type clothes and hair. I see it all the time at the salon I go to. They are getting thier hairstyled and you cannot see their face. From the back they look 18 then they turn around.......OMG its like halloween freakish. Dress age appropriate..you look like an ass.
Also you see this on every vacation at the pool...I call them the hookers that got lucky. Fake boobs, thong bathingsuit, tattoos, makeup, buffed and tanned with the large diamond rock and the filthy mouth with the huge fat, bald whale of a husband with the man boobs and hairy back lounging on a chair with a tall glass of vodka wondering where all money went.

Trolls

swalter518 Aug 19th, 2003 05:58 AM

belly shirts, especially on those with bellys better not exposed.

fiasco Aug 19th, 2003 06:03 AM



young girls dressed like hookers, walking with their PARENTS.

(saw it on the esplanade in boston, marathon day, last year.)

flopmeister Aug 19th, 2003 06:31 AM

middle aged women with brittany-itis.

ncgrrl Aug 19th, 2003 06:34 AM

Bra straps that aren't covered by your shirt. If you're going to wear a racer-back shirt, get a racer-back bra. If you're going strapless, get a strapless bra.

Ilike the answer about the paint.

hotdogz Aug 19th, 2003 06:49 AM

people expressing negative opinions on other people's appearance

highbay Aug 19th, 2003 07:57 AM

People that talk on cell phones in the movie theater!

Cassandra Aug 19th, 2003 08:16 AM

DisneyWorld.

Weddings at DisneyWorld.

Suzie Aug 19th, 2003 08:28 AM

Grown woman (who has obviously given birth and is wayyyyyy past her prime) with a belly shirt on showing her belly button tattoo, you know the one that encircles the belly button like it needs to be worshipped, and then the belly button ring. Can you say yulk? Well the Target cashier said, "I like your tattoo!" My 9 yo daughter gave me the "She's crazy" look.

MightyIsis Aug 19th, 2003 08:33 AM

Parents who let their children disrupt others in public places

jor Aug 19th, 2003 08:55 AM


frantic smoking outside of a church entrance after a funeral. Totally tacky.

FainaAgain Aug 19th, 2003 09:12 AM

Black bras and white see-through blouses or white T-tops.


Diana Aug 19th, 2003 09:21 AM

Sandals and white socks.

Men in sweatpants and no underwear (yes, we CAN tell)in grocery stores in the South on the weekend.

"Ladies" smoking cigarettes hands-free while driving/digging in purse and the "butt" bobbing ashes.

White "Minnie Mouse" shoes after Labor Day or before Easter.

Already said, but fanny packs should be outlawed.

Speedos on anyone not the physical twin of Greg Louganis.

Chewing gum over the age of 12.

Chipped brightly-colored nail polish on long talon-like toenails.

Cell phones at ANY beach.

jor Aug 19th, 2003 10:29 AM

Diana, I have no doubt that lots of women want to find those men in the south in your point #2!

Diana Aug 19th, 2003 11:05 AM

jor,
Maybe so, but I doubt it. They seem to all be wearing their "lounging" attire out in public, and are not usually the most physically-fit specimens to be found.
I get the impression they are just popping out (pun intended) to replenish the ole' beer and potato chips during halftime.

bettyk Aug 19th, 2003 11:17 AM

I'm really tired of seeing men and women in these skimpy little shorts and tank tops everwhere I go! Wear your workout clothes to workout and then change into something appropriate for shopping, eating out, etc.

Grasshopper Aug 19th, 2003 11:35 AM

The infernal debate over San Francisco/San Jose and people who change their screen names more often than they change their underware!

Scarlett Aug 19th, 2003 11:39 AM

LOL, Grasshopper, honey, Tacky is right!!

mbrad006 Aug 19th, 2003 11:50 AM

Eurotrash.

JJason Aug 19th, 2003 11:59 AM

Chronic complainers.

PCHsmiles Aug 19th, 2003 12:12 PM

JJason, on the money! What about a new Fodors category?

JackOneill Aug 19th, 2003 12:18 PM



Seriously, isn't there a Rants section on Fodors?
Why have we all of a sudden been over-ridden by '"complain" posts?
Give me the endless "Road to Hana" inquiries, anyday.

JJason Aug 19th, 2003 12:22 PM

And this has to do with travel ..... how?


Katherine Aug 19th, 2003 12:25 PM

There is a lady down the street who put one of those cememt birdbaths in front of her home along with other little figures such as bunnies,gnomes..etc...and she painted them pastel blue..of all colors.
She could not understand why many of the neighbors thought it looked tacky.
We live in a Homeowners Association which has become a joke as they do not enforce the covenants covered in the deed restrictions....time to sell.....

PCHsmiles Aug 19th, 2003 12:39 PM

... oh no, not a (gulp) blue birdbath ... oh, no, not that! And it's probably gated!

Suzie Aug 19th, 2003 12:41 PM

I read in the paper all the time that front yeard decorations are stolen. ;)

clarkgriswold Aug 19th, 2003 12:44 PM

California women on the cellphone in the checkout line at the supermarket, making an appointment for a bikini wax.
