Oh boy, can't WAIT to read these comments!!! Might as well start with this one - the cockroach of tackiness. Tacky "extraordaire".

Has stood the test of time, and no matter how much you think the human animal has evolved and you've killt it (What? Killt?)........the nasty, stinkin horn just keeps comin back.

It's 9:00 am on a weekend morning; take your pick - after a late friday night or sleepin in on Sundee.......allegedly. He or she stops outside the house in the middle of the road, OR, in the middle of the Complex parking lot and goes:

BEEP!! BEEP-BEEP!!! (Then, lays on it real long) BEEEEEEEP!! The whole neighborhood is now wide awake.

MY ADVICE: Find come class, some common decency, then get your GOAT....SMELLIN....A--!! - out of the car & go knock on the %#@&!$ door!!! (Can I say that??)

Cockroaches.

You know what I meant...extraORDINAIRE'. Ooops. (WINK)

Tacky is chubby girls wearing skin tight hip huggers with a short t-shirt and letting their blubber hang over their pants.
AKA "busted can o' biscuits."

Tacky!

Donna-I second that motion, it is what I have termed "Elephant A$$". That big booty in those too tight pants. The only thing missing is the tail flipping around swatting the flies away.

Tacky # 2- Women who flirt with married guys in front of their wifes. Now i'm not a prude and nor am I uptight, but thats just tacky! AND..the worst part of it is that WE (the guys) gett yelled @ by the wife for the other females tacky behavior.

More to come later as the caffiene works its way thru me.

folks who hang clothes on their balconies to dry

Political Ts on kids too young to read it (or understand it).

People that chase you down in the parking lot of your "no-soliciting" apartment complex in order to sell you magazine subscriptions. People that put flyers on every door in an apartment complex. Way to tell robbers who isn't home.

Women in hip huggers that reveal two inches of butt cleavage when they sit down.

Leather pants and/or hip huggers on women shaped like BOTERO paintings.

Loud coffee sippers.
Open mouth chewers.
Loud throat clearers.
IN THE OFFICE!

I don't kow if its tacky or just rude and jerky but.. People who recline their seats all the way back on the commuter bus, ignoring the fact that the people behind them have knees.

Co-workers who blab on the phone ALL DAY with their wife about the same thing over and over and over. I know more about what they are doing this weekend than what my wife and I are doing.

Yeah, Yeah!!! The J-Lo Jeans without the J-Lo Junk in Da Trunk. Hmm....aren't they doing booty implants, now?

Not to mention, the J-Lo Jeans without the J-Lo Body, period. You know, with Dunlap's disease all around the waist area, i.e., Yo belly done lapped over Yo belt........and it "don't look good", Chile - literally or figuratively. (The Girl aint seen her toes in years.)

I mean, a tummy is one thing, but..........am I being mean?

Tackiness factor?

You just can't beat the "aluminum foil over the window" trick in an apartment!

Hey, if you can't afford a real shade, maybe you should get a tent and park it in the woods... lots of nice shade there :)

1)TACKY - Adults/teenagers who are clueless as to who the president/VP currently are.
2)People who brush their teeth in the office bathroom and don't wash out their spit or toothpaste.
3)People who don't flush their poopy or pee in public bathrooms.
4)Ladies who don't wrap their USED sanitary napkins in toilet paper before they put them in the sanitary napkin trash holder. This is Most Gross!
5)Pet owners who don't pickup their dog's poopy.
6)Men & sometimes ladies who hock big gross luggies (spit/snot gobs) right outside of the door in public places such as a mall.
7) Old women who don't wear bras! - Oh my!
8)Folks who ride commuter buses/trains that stink like pee or have other BO.
9)Folks who blow their nose at the dinner table or public eatery. Not little blows but those big sinus clearing blows.
10) And for #10 those folk who blow their noses in public places and then sneak a peek!

The one that comes to mind immediately is the use of relatives for quick gain--whether its Kery using Cheney's daughter, the Democrats for using Little Ron Reagan, or Barry Goldwater, Jr. hocking shameless coins (he endorses the company that made those "World Trade Center" coins the NY Attorney General just stopped). Tacky, tacky, tacky.

Co-sign on most of the above.
Can't put a Sofa cover on a Folding Chair, y/m?
However, nothin wrong with some tastefully-done hoochie-type display of a nice onion.

-Teeskirts
-do-rags (i'm tired of them joints. I was wearin them back in 84...and again in 94, when I had braids. That's played out. For the second time.)
-Box haircuts. I've been seeing these try to crop up again. Not the truth.
-jheri curls - always tacky.
-8 Ball Jackets. I saw one...

Tacky
People who dont care about the state of human affairs.
People who dont strive for world peace
People who dont strive for animal liberty
People who dont care about the war in Iraq
People who eat meat
People who dont sing KumBayah on a perpetual basis
People.....

Sharon, Sharon! Not before lunch, please.....

-8-Ball Jackets-Wow I haven't seen one since 8th Grade.
-High pitched grating voices whining about the state of affairs, how the USA is a police state etc etc...
-Sharon-#10 is so funny..how about when they then wipe their face with the dirty hankie?!?!?
-People who step on your ankle when they walk behind you and then when you turn around ask you if you have a problem?

Baahhaahhaa!!! Donna nailed the one that nauseates me the most. I love that word picture, "busted can o' biscuits"! Too VISUAL!

Love this site! Found you through Donna.

#11)...oh, oh, oh One more...People who let out big stinkies (farts) in stores. Man - you walk around the ailse and catch a whiff - knocks you out. My husband is guilty of this...he laughs and points to me.

oh - the bowl cuts! what parent would do that to a kid.

#12) Rat Tails on kids...what the????

#13) Comb overs on old men and Rugs that are so obvious.

I gotta stop for today.

Sharon, you naaaasty! lol!

When I'm eating my lunch @ my desk and people have to stop and comment. Its usually.. "oh eating already" or " what do you have there". Well does the fact that I have as andwich shoved in to my mouth indicate that im hungry or that i no other place to put it? What do i have here? what do you think brainiac? I'm eating a phone book?!?
-This one really bugs me...Emmaciated Vegeterian potheads who tell me i shouldn't drink beer or booze. Its like yeah "dude" lets see who's in better shape and has their #$% together.
No disrespect to the teetotalers and non-boozers in the crowd.

Tranquility, I respect animal rights... two of 'em --

1) Animals have the right to be tender
2) Animals have the right to be tasty

The above rights don't necesarry apply to house pets, except in extreme circumstances (i.e. I'm out of HungryMan dinners)

Glen you're crackin me up.

I think "Tranquility" was attemping to be funny. If not, let's just assume he was for the sake of having more fun on this thread. Really, it was the "Kuumbaya" statement that led me to believe this. :-)

In any case, for the record I'd like to note that peace is not the absence of turmoil, nor is it "nonviolent". Many people are striving for "World Peace" but there are different definitions of what that achivement will mean.

Busted Can 'o Biscuits?! I am SO adding that to my Nyktionary.

And Avery, there's everything wrong with hootch-type displays.

OH and I second all the butt cleavage comments. Hands down the absolute WORST fashion trend of the 21st century thus far.

You guys are crackin' me up.

Stooooop!!! STOP!!! You are all killin me!! And Joe from Joisey, you really provoked some very important thoughts............food:

What do the Emaciated Vegeterian Potheads eat when they get the munchies? ("Muchitos" for my spanish speaking friends.) I "heard" that's what happens when you smoke those funny cigarettes, you get crazy hungry; I can't relate.(HmmHmmHmm)

Anyway, what's the 411???

Banana, Peanut Butter, & Honey sammiches on whole wheat, maybe? Tellin you, Bro - that garden salad & creamy ranch dressing will only take a brother but so far. I'll be bustin in donut shops 'fore long.

Keep 'em comin, people!!! Gross me out with tackiness, please. (Great topic, Ambra!)

Potheads, hippess, random NYC Lib-crybabies and healthnuts.The same crew that complains about eating animals and genetically modfied food will pop unknown pills, snort G-d knows what, smoke "something" they bought from "some guy" @ the park.

Me= Feed me anything and I'll eat it. Preference= Healthnut but I'll chomp on my arm if I'm hungry ..Turkey, chicken,, powerbars.
and those precious cute veals..yum yum!!

But the fun stuff=Budweiser, Olde English (its classy! Its as an "e' at the end of OLD.

Women who put in their own weave jobs badly. Stop. You don't look cute showing up at the club,with fire engine red weave,that has been poorly put in. You look tacky. Also,any woman that uses the f or p words, like she is an ignant dude,is both nasty and tacky.

I generally think cussing is tacky period. It's just completey unecessary. But it's especially tacky in front of children. That is like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.

Exactly, Ambra!

My favorite phrase from an adult is "Watch your d$%n mouth!"

Methinks adults forget briefly that kids remember ALL the bad words you utter, but few of the good ones :)

Couples who make out in public. With sound effects. Especially while in line for something (a ride at an amusement park, the grocery store...you get the idea.) Ewww....I do NOT need to see that while trapped behind them in line, nor do I want my children to see it. There's a time and a place people...

i simply cannot agree in strenuous enough terms to the condemnations of butt crack showin' tackiness. i think i literally received a bruised retina from an accidental viewing last week.

i realize that i tend to blend the definitions of 'tacky' and 'just plain rude.' please excuse me. more of my list:
1) vehicles equipped with robust acoustic reinforcement demonstrating their powers immediately outside my condo at 2 am (or later).
2) senselessly aggressive drivers. what makes your life so much more important than that of others, pray tell?
3) senselessly large passenger vehicles; i'm mostly referring to mega-SUVs and absurdly big pickup trucks.
4) any of a number of cell phone related infractions. everyone knows which ones. the one i simply cannot fathom is the ol' cell phone ringing during church, middle-aged person running out in the hall to answer it. ????
5) halloween.
6) bad grammar.
7) young women seemingly taking their fashion cues from ashton kutcher and the zombies from "thriller," and incorporating elements from both simultaneously.
8) young men leering at said young women.
9) not knowing why you believe what you believe.

that's all for now. boy, i could go on and on, no?

one more came to mind...

the stickers on the back windows of pick-up trucks depicting Calvin (the beloved star of Calvin & Hobbes) relieving himself on either a Ford or Chevy logo

you actually hate Ford/Chevy enough to go out and BUY one of these? tacky, tacky, tacky

Oh, Joe from Joisey, we could hang out. We'd munch out on healthy junk & drink 40s of Olde English.....I'm still suckin down the stuff, myself - on occasion.

Later!!

1) Animals have the right to be tender
2) Animals have the right to be tasty

ROTFL!!

If it ain't runnin fast enough, it must've been planning on being eaten. That's my motto.

Oh my Brenton, you could've written this post a whole lot better than I. IN any case, an emphatic "yes!" on #1-9.

Denise I second your motion. PDAs that take things too far, especially in confined spaces with others or even lines for that matter or capital T tacky.

Glen, I've always thought those peeing Calvin decals were tacky too. I'd also add when people have like 85 trillion bumper stickers, decals, and Darwin Fish, all refuting the existence of a God. Tacky.

1) T-shirts with swear words or lewd commentary. Tacky.
2) Women wearing white shoes with suntan colored pantyhose.
3) Grown people who wear excessive disney clothing. Grow up already.
4) When women wear revealing clothes in the office.
5) People who flirt on the job.
6) Stirrups
7) Legwarmers
8) Blinking HTML code.
9) Eating food off another person's plate without asking.
10) People who don't tip without a good reason
11) Airbrushed anything
12) Gold teeth
13) Jan Crouch
14) Trying to pass "obviously" used presents off as new
14) Not writing thank-you notes
15) The set of TBN's "Praise the Lord"
16) Putting a neon "Spoiler" on a Plymouth passenger Van

Tongue rings, nose rings, body-piercing, in general, just gross me out. I have friends who do some of this, but it just grosses me out. Sorry.

Tattoos. Yuckers there, too, especially on women, and ESPECIALLY when it goes with the *ahem* aforementioned exposed derriere.

Ambra-The set of TBN's "Praise the Lord"
10+ on the tacky scale. I mean who, ahh, what,, why??? GOLD everything?!?! Gee that doesn't say Televangalist crook!!

Beau-How about the "Crooked I" ?
You know how it is. When ya need a buzz $2.50 is all it takes.Beats spending $10 a beer in a some she-she NYC bar. Wife doesn't even mind, she just laughs @ me. Just to make her crack up more I keep it in the brown bag, while chilling in the living room.

Oh, and those new road signs that are neon yellow or neon anything. Very cheesy.

Car headlights that are a *different* color, more bluish than yellowish like normal ones. Ick, they give me a headache.

Hey, Ambra.

I love your site. Been reading it a while, first time posting, though.

I find the "booty shorts" that females wear with words plastered over their posteriors really tacky.

Smokers who don't care that their cigarette's second-hand smoke is blowing in other people's face are tacky, too.

Tacky is using your cell phone while riding your bicycle...
Tacky is walking into a room and not speaking, nodding or giving some type of acknowledgement to others around you.
Tacky is too little clothes on too big bodies
Tacky is hub cap spinners on your Ford escort.. or even better- when your rims cost more than your whole car... tacky
Tacky is seeing someone with nail art on their acrylic toe nails... not cute and very tacky.. not to mention when the toe nails are so long they make "clacking" noises on the cement when they walk.... ugh.
Tacky is, using the rest room at work and walking out of stall, passing the sink and not washing.. excuse me but did u just touch yourself? Can I get you to use some soap. Gross.

1) $3000 sound system in a $3000 car--especially when the car is crappy insulation and you get that 'rattling' sound.
2) People with expensive cars but crappy housing. I'm tired of visiting family in 3rd Ward and seeing brand new Benz's and Escalades.
3) When the owner of one of the above cars does not pay child support.
4) Any man who goes to church just to pick up women, or vice versa.
5) People who have to tell you when they've done good deeds. Trying to cover up something?
6) MEN WHO GOSSIP! (this was my peeve, as well)
7) Throwing your Bible into the backseat of the car after church for later retrieval the next Sunday.

I could go on..

I think the #1 item today was big booty in too small pants.
Weel everyone, I was most definately entertained today. Now it is 4:58 pm....I must commence the countdown to HAPPY HOUR. 31 minutes to go!! Woo Hoo!

o/t - KRS-One is a real.... Never listening to his stuff again...AMBRA's got the link...

Parents that make you want to beat their children for them…
Ex. A 5yr old child had a temper tantrum when a teen employee stopped him from
cutting to the front of the line for a Pizza Planet ride. The mother came running, after hearing the crying child, only to walk away saying, “if you don’t want him in the front of the line, then you deal with him”.

Parents that aren’t concerned with their children having a collection of spray paint cans in their room. If the child doesn’t have a school project that requires paint and he’s not using them on your house, where do you think he’s using them?

Adults tossing cigarette butts on children’s playgrounds.

Women that don’t smile or say thank you when you open the door for them. I do it to be pleasant, not because it’s my job!

Women that talk smack to a waiter/waitress, before I get my food.

Waiters/waitresses that leave you a surprise in your food, because the girl you are with is rude.

Women that feel they need to act like a man to be equal to a man.

Thanx for letting me vent...

Tacky are men's shirts unbuttoned down to their navels.

Tacky are cell phones ringing...anywhere!

Tacky are shorts with white socks and dark shoes.

Tacky is mowing the lawn without a shirt.

Tacky is loud nose blowing in public.

Tacky is not tipping.

Oooh. Good ones guys.

Sam: Glad you chimed in! As far as smoking is concerned, I can be one of those obnoxious types that starts fake hacking when somebody is intentionally blowing smoke in my face, just to prove a point. It's all about respect. At work, we send our smokers to the back of the building....where they belong. heh

Blanko: My space is here for your venting pleasure. You even managed to get deep too! I like the one about women who feel like they have to act like a man to equal one. Word.

Erica from Dallas: I read your comments in the middle of our photo shoot and was CRACKING up. Right on.

Alex: I second, 3rd, 4th and FIFTH the tackiness of a person with a warped value system that buys a $50,000 car and pays rent or even worse...lives with their momma!

Donna: Good ones. So here's a question. Do you ever believe there's a reason NOT to tip? I know some people who think that's never okay, even if the service was bad....others, well, they're a little TOO quick not to tip. What's your philosophy?

You're right Ambra, smokers belong out in the back of the building. One thing I think is SO tacky is employees in uniform standing around in front of their employer's building puffing away. To me they just look so juvenile doing that and it looks so bad for the company. Oh, it's even worse when the smokers-in-front-of-the-building are government agency employees, hospital workers or grocery store employees. (Don't be touchin' my bread and produce with them smoky hands!)

This is a hilarious thread. I love this site and I, like Kim, found it through Donna B. :)

We always tip.
But, you know what? I can not remember a time when the service was horrible.

I never put money in the plastic cups with 'tip' written on them that are placed at ice cream/coffee shops.

The nerve!

OK, round two:

Heavily modified Japanese cars. "Rice rockets." You know: custom paint job, huge chrome tailpipe, lowered shock absorbers, massive rear spoiler, aftermarket parts decals everywhere, those white taillights, and purple neon lights underneath. And a stereo with the bass turned up so loud it is felt rather than heard.

The word "ghetto" used as an adjective was made for these eyesores.

Donna, we never put tips in those plastic cups, either.

Tacky: People who send those fwd: fwd: fwd: fwd: spams!

It is possible to ventilate a smoking room so that no one is exposed to the smoke except those who enter the room. Punitive anti-smoker rules have generally backfired.

Mr. Wallis, I take it you're a smoker?

Linda & Donna: I don't leave tips in cups either. Unless it's at a coffee place that I go to a lot and know and love all the workers. Also when I go to Cold Stone Creamery (an icecream place) where my sister works and they SING to you when you tip! Fun stuff.

Scott: Okay so my younger brother, bless his heart was the one to "school" me about the "rice" terminology for cars. That is just screaming for some civil rights somebody to cry "racism". Too bad Koreans use it more than anybody...LOL

I limit my Disney wear to Eeyore shirts but hey....

1. Suburban white kids dressing up, acting and talking like they just stepped in off of Half Street in DC.
2. Bling Bling jewelry. You really think that gold dollar sign hanging around your neck is impressing somone?
3. Said Bling Bling on someone who can't afford a soda pop.
4. Beemer and Benz drivers who seem to think that owning a $50K car equates to owning the road.
5. Car drivers who never learned about kinetic energy and jump in from of 80,000lbs trucks and then slam on their brakes.
6. Disgruntled employees talking smack about their job. If you don't like it the door is over there.
