This happened many years ago, when there were no signs about smoking not allowed.

Up-thread, someone did not consider the Kardashians as trash since they have money. Imo, money doesn't cover up their trashy behavior.

Your post reminded me that this morning at an independent coffee shop a saw a rather attractive woman in her early thirties wearing a t-shirt that said "" My other ride is your mom ""

For that I had to give her a thumbs up.

Was just reminded of this one in another thread:

People who go around with their mouths hanging open. Like I said in the other thread, you could be an astrophysicist Rhodes scholar who writes symphonies, but if you always have your mouth hanging open, you look like a mentally deficient uneducated piece of trash.



I'll also add, men who wear tank-tops or "wife beaters" except in a gym, and who apparently believe that the image of a hairy male armpit is something that needs to be encountered in polite society.

The fact of the matter is that a majority of older immigrants who didn't learn English when they were growing up find it very difficult to pick up the language. Some do but not all. Mostly, you will find that the next generation of those immigrants however speak English like the rest of America does. That's just how human beings are built. Chances are that this was the same for your ancestors as well, the ones that first immigrated to America. Unless of course you are native American.

However, saying that all immigrants *should* speak English is the same as saying "all immigrants should follow my religion" or "all immigrants should dress the same way I do" or even saying "everyone in Texas should talk like a Texan, even if they moved to Texas from another state and speak with a different accent".

Just replace "country" with "state", and "language" with "accent" and see if your definition of trashy still holds true.

I'll go with 1,2 and 4 adding animal neglect and people that talk loudly. I cannot stand people that want to include everybody within a block in their conversation. Sometimes they walk around shopping, while talking on a cell phone, so everybody can hear what they are saying. I was walking my dog in the park yesterday, and a couple of women were talking so loud, we could still hear them from the other side of the park. That is ridiculous.

I've never joined a forum just to tell someone off, but, quite a few years ago someone joined a forum just to scream at me. I'd made a comment about not liking the way Joe Lieberman's voice sounded, that he spoke so slowly.... very soon, a poster was screaming, RACIST!! YOU ARE A RACIST!!.
Oh, my, what a shock hearing such an ignorant accusation.

I wouldn't call it trashy or raunchy, but it is a peeve of mine. People that have plants and don't bother to water them. How hard can that be? Us taxpayers spend the money to plant bushes on the side of roads, but the town doesn't water them, so we get to pay to have them taken out and replanted again. That's poor management. I see similar in professional offices. Don't bother if you can't care for them. If you can't be responsible for a plant, what can you be responsible for?

Women who buy wool winter coats with the kickpleat in the back and they don't clip the thread at the bottom that keeps the pleat flat in the store.
Trash. Dead giveaway.
There they are, walking along with a big, baggy bulge on the back of their thighs.

Speaking of fashion, what is with girls covering half their hands with their sleeve? They are just going to get their sleeve dirty. I don't get it, looks stupid to me.

[quote=TracySam;31384981]Guys who drive around with no shirt on. High probability of being trash.

Hilariously disgusting and true.
