    Those shouldn't be banned. We need more natural selection.

    To cover your shirt buttons, I can’t think of any other reason.

    This is the reason I enjoy the smell of Arko.

    Been there, did that, wasn’t caught, very fun.

    These were originally for kids who needed something to manipulate. Usually kids on the autism spectrum or adhd. I’m not too sure why they became so popular with everyone lol.

    Sounds kinda like what my dad called a CB fox hunt from the early '70s. The "fox" gave a clue and was driving around town while the "hounds" coordinated by CB to catch him. That sounds fun.

    I lived through the mullet and the rattail in college without succumbing to either. Around that same time, I planned to have one ear pierced (which one you chose was important - "left is right"). I casually mentioned this to my Dad who stated I would no longer be receiving any more tuition assistance (or anything else for that matter) if I came home and he found a hole or mark on my ear. He wasn't kidding. Despite him being a bit over the top on this one (and probably right), I found it to be and a somewhat unfair but very effective method of persuasion).

    Cargo pants. You seen these pants? That's too many pockets.

    Yes, and it happened, once. That's all it took.

    Forgot about the pants. The MC hammer look in the 80s. A particularly bad look for white bread white boys. Moreso when combined with a sweater vest, which was also in fashion at the time.

    For those who can't grow one or who don't want to commit just yet, allow me to introduce the mullet hat.

    How about glasses as a fashion accessory. I wear them as prescribed. If I didn’t need them I definitely wouldn’t wear fake ones lol

    Or the glasses that aren't really glasses but have shades/louvers on the front. Anybody figure out what those are about?

    People who use old style razors and shaving products. I've heard these kooks even have a web site where they talk about shaving gear and share their shaving experiences!

    I have several pairs. I'm in IT. It's much easier to pull tools out of a pocket at the knee than to try to hold a toolbox in a ceiling. Those tool belts don't cut it for a toner tracker, etc. My complaint about them is that they're so damned baggy, so they catch on things.

    They do make some glasses like this specifically for exercising the eyes. I doubt that's what you were seeing, however.

    Lawn Darts - why do people keep making a fuss over these? I mean, you can do JUST as much damage by playing croquet, if you get a fool that thinks it's golf. They're weighted darts that you throw. Okay - why do people blame the darts for someone being in the target zone? That's like blaming hail for hitting you in the head.

    fidget spinner. I have one that looks like a brass ship's wheel behind me. I pull it out periodically when I need some sort of motion, but I can't really go moving around much. I'm a hyperactive. (I need to re-press the bearing, however. Somehow it crept out to one side. I just haven't put it in a vise yet)

    To me, the biggest silly trend right now is 'Crypto Currency'. You can't hold it, it's easy for people to steal, and if you forget a password, you'll never have it again..
