… ✗ Mustache nonsense that’s popped up everywhere. Mustaches on champagne flutes, t-shirts, hats, tattoos. It’s just facial hair; get over it! ✗ Pop stars giving followers nicknames. Lady GaGa has ‘Little Monsters’; Nicki Minaj ‘Barbies & Kens’; Bieber has ‘Beliebers’; One Direction ‘Directioners’. Let’s just go back to ‘fans’, ‘k? ✗ Taking a picture with an iPad. Do you have any idea how ridiculous you look when you do this? If not, use your phone to take a picture of yourself taking a picture with an iPad. ✗ Pretending that being a nerd is a bad thing. Nerds are the most powerful people in the world now. Nerds are the new jocks. ✗ “Keep Calm and Carry On” posters. Know what this slogan was originally all about? It was to boost morale in England in case the Nazis invaded. And you’re hanging it in your living room? ✗ Instagramming pictures of food. Seems like every meal you have to wait to dig in because your obnoxious dining companion wants to snap a pic and immediately upload it. ✗ Talking about food. Quit claiming to be a ‘foodie’ (UGH!). Be aware that what you’re talking about becomes something you never want to talk about from the moment it passes your lips. ✗ Talking about bacon. Man, please, just shut the hell up about bacon. It’s meat … big deal. ✗ Skinny jeans. That trend is from 2007, people. Time for some new duds maybe? ✗ Always talking about Apple products. Great, you love a multibillion-dollar corporation. Isn’t it ironic Apple’s most famous ad was about releasing brain-dead zombies from the technology status quo? – Adapted from Gawker.com
