People who refer to those who love to dine well as Foodies.
Those who talk loudly on their cell phones.
Women smoking on the street.
people walkin four abreast so it's hard to pass.

This may fall in the category of tacky and stupid. The dot-comers who would brag about this great company because they were "pre-IPO". That was tacky. I heard thiss guy doing the same thing today,words I had not heard in 3 years. He is just stupid.

Middle aged men who make it to obvious they are in a mid-life crisis. Tackiest of all.

I love what clarkgriswold said....
...SUV's with one occupant. TACKY!

To cfc, sorry I used the word 'eats' in my thread, BUT, you will notice I said I'm not interested in expensive or fine dining, so that's okay, right?

I know someone who likes to take souvenirs from restaurants- be it salt/pepper shakers, utensils, you name it, she's got it!

Gekko Aug 20th, 2003 11:43 AM

Another vote for "foodie" or "foodies." Just so annoying.

People who give advice about places they've never visited, or just visited once.

Trolls.

Worthless non-travel threads like this one.

People who respond to worthless threads. Uh-oh!

New yorkers!

I can't stand it when people take souveniers from restaurants either. One time my grandma tried to put a wine glass in her purse to take home - while it still had wine in it.

wemr Aug 20th, 2003 11:56 AM

I'll second that!

Scarlett Aug 20th, 2003 11:59 AM

Oh aahhnold, how unkind.

ahhnold Aug 20th, 2003 12:08 PM

Are you kidding? After all the insults,"New Yorkers" is unkind? Am I the first person to think so?

Read some of the responses,mine is benign compared to others, Which I stand by.

audra Aug 20th, 2003 12:10 PM

People who think they know it all, who have all the answers.

Live and let live, people.

Why is an SUV with one occupant tacky? Most SUVs aren't any bigger than a sedan. Just didn't get that one.

clarkgriswold Aug 20th, 2003 12:32 PM

...and you wonder why they hate us?

rjw_lgb_ca Aug 20th, 2003 12:35 PM

People that attack you personally with schoolyard taunts simply because you disagree with their opinions (and your arguments are better thought-out). Tacky, stupid, immature.

Oh yeah, and those mirrored "purty pinup girl" appliqués on an 18-wheeler's mudflaps. Hallmark of a box-wine drunk...!

Scarlett Aug 20th, 2003 12:53 PM

Only unkind aahhnold when you know that I am a New Yorker..lived here, moved away and now I am back. And never thought of myself as tacky :(

ahhnold Aug 20th, 2003 12:57 PM

Scarlet..Exceptions can be made. Your leaving the area helps. Tell me you didn't vote for hill and all is forgotten.

Scarlett Aug 20th, 2003 01:02 PM


Then all is forgotten :D


PCHsmiles Aug 20th, 2003 01:05 PM

ahhnold, may I suggest a smarter screen name for you ... perhaps it'll pull you up. Why not "Hillary" for you ... you could do with a bit of class and style.

ahhnold Aug 20th, 2003 01:11 PM

Hillary?...class and style? I don't think so. Just look at the spouses we choose. No one has more class and style than Maria.

BTW,I think I have Scarlett's vote and she is full of class and style.
