I had a few more annoying trends to complain about:
Home deodorizer refills. It seems like they are coming out with a new Wisp/Poof/Squirter/Plug in every week. When you find one you like, they discontinue the darn refills, resulting in more landfill. I guess it is back to candles. They work and don’t require proprietary refills to work.
The BIG trend. Sunglasses are one example. Guess what people, you look like a freaking bug when you wear glasses that cover more than half your face (see Paris Hilton.) Wristwatches are another example. It is starting to look like you are wearing a pocket watch strapped to your wrist. It is one thing to wear a cool vintage Vostok, Poljot, or Omega or Seiko Diver, it is another to wear a new ‘fashion’ watch the size of a salad plate. I am sorry if I offend, but I have small wrists, and the trend towards bigger watches means I have to wear “boys” sized watches so I don’t look silly. Smaller used to mean you were wearing a more expensive watch. It is a lot harder to make a small watch than a big watch. Now, the more bling the better.
