Things that people think are cool but aren't cool

[TeaCider]

That's half of our Ian's life Ben.

Baffles me, I've told him before.

The Twitter site We Want Plates is full of pretentious restaurants serving food on anything but normal plates like shoes, baskets. Even Tonka Trucks like this one.

Claiming to be a massive supporter of a big club (i.e. Liverpool, man Utd) despite having no, or only the most tenuous connection to the place (my second cousin once removed is from there etc).

Bonus uncool points for then trying to talk about football on level terms with people who support their hometown team and any attempt to engage in "banter" particularly whenever said big club beats the smaller club.

As buff said last week it’s never Tranmere their dad supported as a kid is it

Telling someone that you're vegan without actually being asked. They find a way to work it into every conversation

You ask them why they support (fill in fashionable club) and they say i have followed them for years, , didnt ask how long i asked why

Talking like Ali G

There were lots of them where I used to live

TBF, Ali G talks like them.

 

[atypical_boro]

Telling a group of people how many people you have slept with

Go on then, how many?

 

[atypical_boro]

Writing 2.0 or 3.0
Like lockdown 2.0
What the point.
Or writing menus like
Chips 3.2
Fish 7.5
Mushy peas 0.8

Decimals generally then?

In fairness, that is brilliant.

Beards

 

[SmallTown]

Superfast sports cars and massive oversized 4x4s, totally ridiculous, impractical and unnecessary unless you're just a massive show off

You’re half right

 

[JM14]

Loud exhausts on **** cars

 

[Deleted]

Working too hard and not maintaining a genuine work/life balance. People often announce it like some badge of honour.

Asking for a medium rare burger because you saw it on a travel program once.

 

[r00fie1]

Straight (probably) male pop stars wearing a dress. It’s been done before by actually cool people Mr Styles!!

Is he hetrosexual?

 

[Nobby_Barnes]

You’re half right

He's 0.5 right

But Byron always ask if you want it medium rare? You can still choose

We never cook them medium rare, they get cooked all the way through. Kitchen protocol, lots of places are the same.

 

[FatCat]

Wearing jeans that show your ankles?

Furthermore if you are above 30 it’s downright embarrassing.

I have a mate like that and despite being an avid armchair fan he literally never goes to games. I think he just likes supporting from the pub better.
