I said it in 2006 and I'll say it again now: Uggs. Seriously, think about this for a minute. Uggs are fucking slippers. I live in Vancouver. It tends to rain/snow/hail down hellfire on a fairly regular basis here, because our weather is just that awesome. Why in the name of God are you wearing woolen slippers out in 2 feet of snow?! I'm fairly certain they aren't waterproof.

Do not mistake me, it's not the shoes themselves I have any real problem with. I mean, yeah, they're not really my thing, but fashionable stuff rarely is. I don't delude myself into thinking that I am the epitome of style or whatever, but what I'm talking about here is really more how blatantly impractical, and how astoundingly uncomfortable this whole trend has become. They're boots that almost literally absorb moisture, and yet, at least 10% of the people I see outdoors in the pouring rain are wearing them.

Also, don't worry, I'm aware that our weather is incredibly mild compared to most places, but still, the boots are out of place.
I hate the aesthetic of them, but have to argue that they are about the warmest thing I have ever put on my feet, and that they were pretty necessary when it started snowing here. They are WAY too hot to be slippers....just warm enough to be snow boots...and they keep my feet pretty dry, (though for rain, I use military rain boots.)

Edit: Also, they're styled after mukluks....and I'mma trust an Eskimo on proper snow attire.
True, they are incredibly warm, I understand that aspect of the whole thing, but I was referring more to the uggs that are produced and manufactured for the sole purpose of the aesthetic, rather than the original uggs, because it's my understanding that there are the uggs designed after mukluks, as you mentioned, and then there are uggs designed after other uggs. So often here the snow is very wet, and the fabric used to make the uggs just get's soaked through.

Also, seriously? I know a lot of people that wear them indoors. Not all the time, mind you, but when it's cold. I dunno, you've got a lot of good points about the snow, but I still have difficulty understanding why people need to wear them in the rain, which we tend to get quite a bit of here. You are absolutely right about who to trust when it comes to snow gear and such, there's no arguing with that.

If this counts, dark spray on tans on people with white blonde hair. It's amazing how much these people look indistinguishable from everyone else who does this...

Fedoras, trilbys and bowler hats. Only work if your wearing a suit of some kind, otherwise you look like a pretentious twat. Especially when you never take them off, even when inside, then you're a mannerless prentious twat.

I'd come to formal work meetings in Gothic clothing just to annoy you. Like, Victorian era type stuff. Top hat and a cape. What? Its totally formal clothing. :p
I wouldn't exclude you based off that if I was hiring. As long your presentable, clothing clean and formal, good standard of grooming/self care, it's not a problem. Just like if someone was Middle Eastern, Indian or from some other country, they could wear their cultural clothing and as long as it's relatively formal it's not a problem for me.

Thongs on fat people.
Being from Australia, this actually took a moment to process. For a second I thought you were saying fat people shouldn't wear sandals/flip-flops.

Macs

To be fair I don't mean macs in generally but the people who go to coffee shops to talk to their other mac using friends and like to appear like they are doing work. I watched one guy once and he was writing an essay on modern art influences and for about 20 minutes of me waiting for a bus he was on facebook and talking his friend about fashion.

Just thought of something.

Really really short shorts. My apologies if anyone's already mentioned it, but admittedly I'm too impatient to read through all the posts I missed to see if anyone else said it.

Granted, it's not necessarily the clothing item itself that angers me. In fact, when the right people wear them (i.e. women who actually keep themselves in shape), they can be downright lovely. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people who wear them, at least in my neck of the woods, look to be smuggling vast quantities of mayonaisse under their skin.

That shit is disgusting and it needs to stop.

Crocs

They are stupid.
Crocs are only useful in one situation, camping. I use them camping because the are easy to get on and off in the campsite, and canoeing I can remove them to get more comfortable and don't have to worry about moisture.

Though if I see someone wearing them to the shop I want to punch them.

The idea of hating a person based on clothing choice. Great thread guys! It's nice to see that 3/4 of people are the typical d-bag that goes for the simple way of confidence boosting. Big deal, so they wear something stupid. Avert your eyes and walk on. Though I will say... sandals and socks. Really?

It's not necessarily an accessory, but I'm going to say it anyway - pants or shorts that are twelve sizes too big, sag down so I have to see your underwear and you still, still insist on wearing a belt even though you clearly have no idea how to use them. You know who you are and I want to strangle you with that damned belt so it is at least put to some use. With that rant over, I will also include ties and men's dress shoes. I love dress clothes (that's practically all I wear) but our dress shoes are so uncomfortable. Whether the shoes are average price, or $200.00, they still suck to walk in.
Buy a $400.00 pair of Kangaroo leather shoes. Comfortable as shit. Classy too. Get the soles and inserts replaced every 3-5 years and you're set.

For the longest time Skinny Jeans used to piss me off.

It was one of the first major fashion trends where I literally though people looked completely retarded (and they pretty much still do).

I've kinda stopped noticing them now, seeing how it's been about 6 years, but I believe it really has helped my Douchebag radar.

High heels and hats, I really don't like hats. Oh and bowties
Really? Hats are pretty fly.

Personally flat-brimed hats, they make people look like dicks, and most people who wear them are.

Gah, this fasion has angered me so much I want to punch something.

OP claims to want to hurt heelies wearers. Nobody over eight wears heelies, therefore OP wants to hurt eight year olds.
