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.
