What Modern Tendency Makes You Cringe?

[ToraToraTora]

For me it's this modern tendency to call everyone "guys", men women and children etc doesn't matter they are all "guys" aaarrrrrggggghhhhh. Does my loaf in, the sooner this fad goes out of fashion the better.

[andy-hughes]

I was going to say the same as soon as I saw the opening of your OP.

It's a generation gap instance, we older citizens find it grating.

I roll with it because no harm is meant, and I try not to be a 'grumpy old man' if I can help it.

[Hazlinny]

Being told "see you later" by people I'm never ever going to see again.  

[ToraToraTora]

It's by no means the only place but it comes up a lot on the apprentice.

[tomus42]

The current fad for grown men wandering around in shorts in completely inappropriate weather.

Often combined with a big puffa jacket and bobble hat on top just to emphasise the ridiculousness of their bottom half.

[andy-hughes]

TTT - It does. It vexes Mrs Hughes considerably, she comments often during transmission. 

[ToraToraTora]

22:51 yeah I've noticed that, the top half is equiped for the arctic and the bottom half for the tropics! Strange!

[Tilly2]

Text speech.

Cu l8ter.

tomus; And often one leg tattooed, and head shaved.

Full terrorist beards have slipped out of style lately, replaced by Andrew Tate stuff. It's just fashion. What will be the next thing? Handlebar moustaches? Bone through the nose? Short back and sides? What goes around comes around. 'Mate' is still used. Am I bovvered?

[andy-hughes]

In most cases, men in England look stupid in shorts.

That goes double if they are worn on cold days.

//I've noticed that, the top half is equiped for the arctic and the bottom half for the tropics! Strange!//

Yep, and the shorts have to be crappy ones like you'd find in the bargain bin at JD sports. Not good sturdy ones with decent pockets etc.

I think it's an American import...sorry! I've heard it for years...before coming to the UK.

 

...and used it. Oh,the shame  😔 😞

Me old china makes me cringe.  Had a neighbour who called all women "doll", did my head in.

[vulcan42]

The restaurants "enjoy" has been transferred to shops. Only this afternoon, after a young boy bought a toy he was told to "enjoy".

[ToraToraTora]

tomus 22:51 there is a guy that comes in my club like that, never seen him in long trousers in all weathers! Also he has half a ton of scrap iron in his boat race and has two dogs, one giant bull dog cross with something and chihuahua! If you had to design a comedy character look no further! TBF fair though he's a lovely friendly bloke!

Irregular migrant, small boats, smash the gangs, coalition of the willing.

Twee, ill fitting phrases from knobs in the wrong job.

Bigly.

Enjoy your day......

Your club needs a better dress code. Keep out the riff raff.

[douglas9401]

Don't think AA  has a dress code at all. 😊

[ToraToraTora]

23:09 There are a few rules about dress but not many. It's a proper social club with all walks of life a great melting pot from millionairs to students, teachers, entrepreneurs, ground workers, mehanics, electricians, even retired coppers, oh and a retired opera singer. You could be drinking with anyone and have no clue what they do. We all like a sherbet that's what we have in common, wonderful.

stop having a dig all the time doug and join in.
