I went with ringtone crap. Why can't people have phones that sound like phones? (although mine does have different ringtones for different people so I'd annoy myself if I wasn't me...)

I'd have to say LOTR mania and Chuck Norris Facts. The Lord of the Rings is amazing, but getting blown up and harped on by so many ignorants who can only identify the movie-treatment is upsetting. And the Chuck Norris Facts, funny at first, but its been "Wasssssuppppp?"'ed.

I'm from the Internet. We don't have trends or fads, just memes.

However, Chuck Norris isn't a trend a fad or a meme, people just sporadically do what Chuck Norris thinks is kewl until he changes his mind.

Ya... rly.

Seeing as I have not yet been lynched, and thus still have the ability to raise my voice: All the fads and trends I listed SUCK! But the LOTR one sux the most. As always, I'm wasted but I speak the truth.

The most annoying cell phone episode I ever had was a few months ago. Some colleagues and I decided to go off site for lunch at Pizza Hut because they had an all you can eat lunch buffet (I knew this was trouble already just on that count).

Now, I'm not a big fan of fast food or Pizza Hut but the cafeteria at work is horrendous, so I went. A woman with purple hair and multiple children was seated next to us and kept playing loud, and very bad, latino dance music on their cell phone for all to hear.

It's bad enough that the music itself was unbearable but to hear it played at multiple decibles on a mini cell phone speaker was enough to drive one to the brink of homicide.

I hate cell phones.

A thick inner coating of spirits will take the edge off irritation. I recommend shellacking highly, and repitition to get a nice glossy state going as well.

As I used to say to my ex-wife who would get apoplectic in traffic:
"It's not a personal affront to your dignity".

Which isn't to say that these things are acceptable. Just let them go.

I voted for nothing, because there are fads I love and fads I hate, fads that are annoying to some and fads that are endeared to some.

IntoxiChrist will be weighing in shortly with a very timely discussion we had yesterday that I think pertains very well to this.

In the meantime, here is an inconclusive, semi-chronological list of fads that I have participated in that I am neither proud nor ashamed to have participated in:

Hypercolor t-shirts
LA Gear double-laced shoes
Saved by the Bell
Slap bracelets
Pocket Rockers and their cassettes
Many bands from various years
Those magnetic mini-games that I can't remember the names of
Dying my hair with Kool-Aid
Jeans with zippers on the bottom hem
Scrunched, multi-layered socks
Side ponytails
Pogs
Trolls
Power Rangers
No Fear
Badly executed gothiness
Cell phone interchangeable faceplates
Hating film students
Faeries
Retro kitsch
Internet hipsterism

Only a small sampling of the many I have been, or are, participating in. Who wants to lynch me? Who wants to admit that they've participated in at least one of these fads, unabashedly?

Most Annoying Trend or Fad?

Which of these things annoys you the most?
