“I Silently Cringe When People Bring Them Up”: 25 Popular Things That People Say Are No Good

Those brands that just make stuff with their own name on them are so tacky.

I took a sip of my drink just as I was reading "can't even get a fart into" and I snorted it up my nose. Well done to whoever wrote it! :)

Can’t even get a fart into lmao

If I buy anything with a logo (like a Michael Kors bag), I remove it. I’m not doing free advertising. Hell; I wouldn’t do it if I were paid for it. I’ve yet to see a logo I WANNA wear. (Exceptions: North Face and Columbia. They’re embroidered and I can’t get ‘em off without ruining the item, and they often do it so that the thread matches the fabric so you can barely make it out anyway.)

I saw this photo of a "Nike" shoe on a Chinese shopping website: SHOE-6615f...e529c2.jpg

Hate that!

I was biking in the side of the road once and a car driving behind me illuminated the ground SO MUCH IT LOOKED LIKE DAY!

Hate those things!!

It would help if municipalities would put in more street lights or at least those reflectors.

"I can now PERFECTLY see that oncoming car veering into my lane since I BLINDED them."

"Centuries?" Add a zero or two. Keep your imaginary friend out of my home, public schools, courthouses and government.

I think we should separate faith, religion, organizations and culture if we want to discuss this argument. A lot of time religion is used only as an excuse, as a flag, to protect one own stereotypes. To the point that when the person we hate share the same culture/religion with us, we subdivide the religion/culture itself to still have an excuse to hate him. This without adding money and power interests...

I wouldn't say all religions are bad. The people IN the religion are the ones to blame. It's who makes up the religion, twist words, and make false claims. The religion itself is not bad. You are absolutely correct that many have been stripped of their cultures and forced to convert. People should not be persecuted for their beliefs, and that is still something we struggle with. Corrupt people in religions push these false ideas to the people, so as we see now, many are trying to bash this false ideologies.

ahhh, the ignorance or White Euro-Ethnocentric view of the world, associating all religions a few specific denominations that are rooted in European History (such as eternal sin is limited to certain Christian groups only for example). Also only 3.75% of all wars in history were religious ones. They are not the cause of wars.

I agree with this, I do. But where I live, India, religion isn’t bad. Hinduism never sent out missionaries, treats women fine, and is pretty good.

I honestly can't imagine doing something like that. I guess some people are just born mean?

Fewer*

This isn't really popular, just common.

Amuse and confuse, don't abuse.

There are cute pranks - like when I put the 6 foot tall vampire that my mom uses as a Halloween decoration in my dad's easy chair holding the remote. :) I was pet sitting while they were on vacation and left it as a fun surprise when they came home. And then there are the ones where people film someone being humiliated. It's never funny when the intent is to embarrass or shame someone. My friends and I had some fun prank wars in college too. But everyone willingly participated and we never singled anyone out. Intent is important. If the prankee doesn't think it's funny you are just being mean.

Most pranks are cruel and leave someone with hurt feelings.

All pranks suck. Period.

Some dude last year harassed me (sometimes sexually) for months at a time “as a prank” and he was “trying to be funny” … we had ti get authorities involved

And now streaming services are doing bundles and becoming like cable

No cable but have a few apps. I prefer my Roku channels.

So true.

I record everything then blast thru the commercials

That's why we switched to Hulu

Okay so The appeal of TikTok isn't the format. It's the algorithm and how good it is a showing you exactly personalized content of things that appeal to you that you never even knew you could have enjoyed. So if your friend is showing you TikToks, that's what is personalized for them and not the thing that's appealing about the platform. The appeal is watching farming, building inspectors, model trains, knitting, book reviews, frogs, gardening, rug making, wood working, history, weird animal facts, Rock tumbling, Fossil hunting, folklore, ECT. Anything you like there is content about it and lots of professionals talking about their field. So if you've only seen a few videos that have come from tiktok, that's not watching TikTok. It's definitely addicting because it's like flipping through the TV but every channel is something that you're interested in. Reels and shorts their algorithm isn't as good so it's not as good so less addicting.

I like it for cat videos but the rest of it is pretty garbage

I hate the name too sounds so silly.

Spot on!

And so much data harvesting going straight to China. I'm not particularly worried generally about data snooping but TikTok concerns me.

Okay, solid & very true point but hear me out. It's popular for the same reason McDonald's is- are they the best there is? No. Does their product taste the best? No. Is their customer service gold star level? No. *BUT*- they are always available, anywhere you go & will be consistent. Even if that consistency is *meh*- you know what you're going to get and it's easily obtained.

As a Seattleite and coffee snob, I agree that Starbucks sucks for the most part. I give them credit for starting the espresso/coffee craze in the USA. But their standard drip coffee is deliberately over roasted and tastes terrible. If coffee is good (quality beans, freshly roasted), you won't need or want sugary add-ins or so much milk the coffee only acts as coloring. You can actually get some halfway decent espresso drinks at Starbucks, but from my experience 99% of customers order highly customized c**p full of milk, sugar, and flavoring.

I thought, if that's Colombian coffee, I am not going to like the coffee when I go to Colombia. OMG! Best coffee ever in Colombia. Idk what Swillbucks does the beans but it's so gross. OTOH, I will say their toasted coconut mocha ground coffee is perfect. I will be buying it all summer until it's gone! I didn't think I was going to like it because it's that brand but I took a chance because I love coconut. Sitting here typing this makes me want some now!

I’ll take Dunkin over them any day. Me and Ben Affleck!
