Trends you don't understand

[(Anonymous)]

Brought to my mind by a recent Dear Abby letter.

People who get upset when someone other than their own children doesn't wish them a happy Mother's Day.

Like... wtf, you're not my mom, I have no idea what kind of mom you even are! Why am I obligated to wish you a HMD?

Re: Trends you don't understand

[(Anonymous)]

I share that. People I'd send a Mothers Day card to: My Mother. My Grandmothers. My great grand mothers, that are still alive.

That is it.

That is all it is appropriate to wish a happy mother's day. Anyone else it would be creepy.

Plus size skinny jeans. I don't get skinny jeans in general, but why would stores think I would want skinny jeans? How do they possibly look good on larger women? Give me my bootcut jeans.

Jumpsuits. Jumpsuits are rarely attractive and they make going to the bathroom difficult. Who wants that? Who wants their shirt attached to their pants if they are older than, say, 5?

Dropcrotch pants. Why are they a fashion thing? Does anyone actually wear them?

Re: Trends you don't understand

Jumpsuits, ugh. I have a long torso so the ONE time I tried one on to see what it looked like on me, I had to hunch over in order to not have the world's biggest wedgie...

Re: Trends you don't understand

[(Anonymous)]

lots of plus size women look great in skinny jeans, what

Re: Trends you don't understand

[(Anonymous)]

I totally agree on jumpsuits. If clothing requires me to get almost naked to go to the bathroom I do not want it thank you very much. And now so often I see what I think is a cute summer dress but it turns out to be a little jumpsuit lol.

I'm pretty short and chubby, but I have really skinny legs. I look so much better in skinny jeans than bootcut. Granted, I don't go *super* skinny, but yeah. It gives me a bit of a shape, as opposed to the dumpy the dump truck look I get with bootcut.

I agree with you fully about jumpsuits, though.

[otakugal15]

Lol. I'm on the plus size side and I love skinny jeans. They show off my ass. My husband has seen dudes and a few women checking me out in them. So...don't assume.

Re: Trends you don't understand

That's so freaking weird. I only wish someone a Happy Mother's Day if they're my mom, my aunt (who's like a second mom to me), and my best friend (who recently had a baby).

Parents sharing everything their kid does. "Mary is looking out the window." And?

Re: Trends you don't understand

Harry Potter World. Let me say that I am a huge Harry Potter nerd; read all the books numerous times, my Hogwarts House is Hufflepuff, and I've probably written way too much fanfic for it. But for some reason, nothing about Harry Potter world appeals to me. Not even Butterbeer.

If I happened to be in Orlando, I might go just to see if I'd be pleasantly surprised, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Re: Trends you don't understand

[philstar22]

Yup. I agree. I'm not a big fan of amusement parks anyway (water parks can be fun, but generally I hate crowds, can't do roller coasters, and just find them all boring). And Harry Potter is not a world I'd want to be immersed in anyway. Middle Earth, yes. Star Wars, yes (though not enough to brave Disney anything). But not Harry Potter.

Re: Trends you don't understand

Huge weddings. I can understand if it's part of a cultural/religious tradition, but otherwise they only seem to make everyone unhappy.

Re: Trends you don't understand

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I feel similar about how expensive funerals are.

Re: Trends you don't understand

[philstar22]

Yes! Why spend so much money on one day? Save the money for the marriage. Or if you really need to spend money on something, spend it on the honeymoon. I'd rather take a really awesome trip than spend a ton of money on something that, given my stage fright, I'm going to not enjoy anyway. Frankly I'd elope, but I've been told that would offend my family (and extended family). Then again, if I marry a woman, a lot of them wouldn't come anyway.

Re: Trends you don't understand

[(Anonymous)]

I like looking at a lot of wedding planning forums, and its the fucking norm for people o have 150 guests - that isn't even considered big by some people! I can't think of 150, or even 75 people I LIKE. Me and my partner are planning to have like... 40 people maybe.

Re: Trends you don't understand

[(Anonymous)]

I understand "huge" as in a lot of people. Seems pretty typical in lots of countries for "the whole village" (metaphorically or literally) to be invited. At the core, it seems like they are an excuse for a community social event.

But the price tag is what I don't get. You know, I can even understand the tradition of the bride and groom's families pitching it to put on a great party. That doesn't seem all that boggling to me. But everything these days is so over-the-top expensive. I mean, sixty years ago weddings would've been done in church basements, potluck style. Now everything must be ridiculously fancy and expensive.

Not that I want a church basement potluck wedding, fuck no. But it seems like things could be just a little simpler.

Re: Trends you don't understand

[el_regrs]

I don't know about unhappy (unless you mean bridezillas), but I just don't get the need to start the marriage with such a bang. Maybe if you're still together in 20-30 years, that'd be worth celebrating with a Disney pumpkin coach and a mile-high cake.

Re: Trends you don't understand

[sarillia]

Weddings aren't appealing to me in general. I don't want one if I get married. Anything that gets lots of people looking at me is not something I'm interested in.

Re: Trends you don't understand

[(Anonymous)]

I was a bridesmaid at my cousin's wedding and she and her fiance invited the whole village to their wedding. They did have their parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles help out with the costs because that was traditional, but damn, the amount of people there made me dizzy. I know my parents would want me to have a huge-ass wedding too, so if I ever get married, I'm just gonna elope.

Re: Trends you don't understand

[diet_poison]

haha I guess I'm alone in this but I love big weddings. But then I'm very extroverted, and there are so many people I want to celebrate that day with.

It doesn't have to be *glamorous*, mind. I'm all about being frugal where possible, and it's more important to me to have people I love there than to have a ridiculously pricey wedding dress or whatever. THAT shit I don't understand.

Re: Trends you don't understand

[diet_poison]

.............people complain about this?

???????????

Re: Trends you don't understand

[rosehiptea]

Trend I don't understand: tsum tsums. Are they even still a thing? I just don't... get what they are supposed to be or why I'm supposed to want one.

Re: Trends you don't understand

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Marvel Comics getting bitchy about decisions they make on poor monthly sales when the KT boundary event for print periodicals happened over a decade ago. For fuck's sake, the apex predators of print periodicals have either evolved into birds (NYT) or gone extinct as independent publications (National Geographic). And everyone else in publishing has figured out that depending on a decreasing number of brick-and-mortar retail outlets is a stupid idea.

Re: Trends you don't understand

[(Anonymous)]

I find it creepy when people DO wish me a happy mother's day. I'm not a mom! Do random dudes get happy father's day?
