Maybe I'm just seeing things, but is there some trend of millenials tucking in the very front of their shirt into jeans/skirts? Alternative is they sort of ball up the front part with a hair tie.
I'm talking like 2 inches of their shirt (width).
Only thing I can think of is they do this so they can get to their phones a little easier? It seems to be taking off though. At first I just assumed they just accidentally tucked it in coming out of the bathroom. Now I'm shuked.

Not so much a trend as a huge pet peeve of mine, probably listed in here already but I've dealt with this twice today and just want to rage
When I call a 1-800 number to talk to my insurance company, or about AT&T bill, or my credit card, whatever...I get the automated menu, press 4 for what I want, enter my account number, press 2 for the next option, speak a phrase of what I am calling about, enter my phone number, enter my zip code, stand on my head and wiggle my pinky toe to the west, and then FINALLY i get a human to talk to...
and they immediately ask me for my account number and to confirm my phone number and address again

Awful song remakes.
The new Weezer version of Africa is sufficient but only reminds people how awesome the original was from Toto.
The Bad Wolves version of Zombie is atrocious. Reminds me of when Coal Chamber tried to remake Shock The Monkey.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I "hate" the new Weezer version, but it's just so blah... The first time I heard it I just thought it was some random band I'd never heard of before trying to get a hit single with a cover, not freaking Weezer. Their version offers nothing new, it's just a pale imitation of the original.
The Zombie cover is cringe worthy bad. I hear just a few seconds of it and immediately change the channel.

Exactly, it sounds like a bad cover band just playing the song the way it is supposed to be played. You're Weezer, man. Be Weezer and play the song. Would have been 100 times better.
First time I heard the song, I was like "wait..."

Mine lately has been people who decide to ignore normal road right-of-way rules in an effort to be courteous. It's nice that you want to let a guy make a left turn in front of you on a road where you have the right-of-way, but nobody behind you is expecting you to stop in the middle of the road to do so. I've nearly gotten rear-ended twice in the last month because the guy in front of me decided to just stop and let a car turning left go in front of him, and another time where a guy came to a full stop at a town merge where he had the right-of-way and the other cars had a yield. It's OK to be courteous, but be aware of the rest of the traffic around you. Through-traffic isn't expecting to have to stop for cross traffic.
Stop being so nice people.
Stop being so nice people.

Agree 1000%. Some cow almost ran me off the road this morning doing this, but judging by her size it may have actually been a piece of pizza.

At one point I was getting 7-8 a day, maybe more. Then they kinda just stopped about 2-3 weeks ago. Now it's 1-2 every 1-2 days. I think the gubment may have cracked down on these suckers finally.

I assumed they were all voting related and would stop (outside of the same spammy crap). so far, it seems they have- outside of the same spammy crap.

Credit cards getting thicker/heavier. My new card is so damn thick that I can no longer charge my phone wirelessly when I put it in my phone case (first world problem). I got an ad recently from some credit card company that was touting how much heavier their card is compared to their competitors. Who cares? Everything else is getting smaller/lighter/paperless.... why do I want a thicker/heavier card to carry around? So dumb.

Agree. I'm not one to really criticize attire, as I'm about as fashion forward as Napoleon Dynamite, but that looks ridiculous.

Same. I am always at least two steps behind what is fashionable (as I sit here in my Nike golf shirt from the early 2000's, jeans and tennis shoes), but I've witnessed this phenomenon long enough and it was time to say something.

As much as I liked his show, I blame David Letterman for the sneakers/suit combo. I remember him saying it made him feel more comfortable onstage.

"Hey, Facebook market place is not a retail store. How about lowering your price for once so I don't see it listed at the stupid same high price for the sixth time. TIA."
I see the same #### at the same prices over and over again every month.

Quit shoving microphones into athlete's and coaches faces every 30 seconds. I get that the sideline reporter of a CFB game needs something to do, but I gotta imagine that Nick Saban wants to clothesline them as he's heading to the halftime locker room and has to stop to answer 2 of the same rotating 6 questions every single game. Then after the game he's shuttled out the door to a press conference. After Tuesday practice, another press conference. Same thing Thursday. Saturday pre-game, another interview, another "what's the gameplan this week against Central Tennessee Polytech, Coach?" Just let them coach the game. Let the athletes play the game. They all say the same coachspeak every single time anyway, there's never ANYTHING insightful or hard-hitting about their answers.

Even worse - you try and look for something local and the first results they show you are places all over the US.

I don't know what thread this belongs in and I'm gonna catch flack for it I know, but I have about had it with motorcycles.
More than half of them are unnecessarily loud, and while we are supposed to "share the road" and "be mindful of them", many riders ride like total jackholes which makes it incredibly hard to always know where they're at. Lane splitting whenever possible, going incredibly fast whenever possible and again... the noise.
I have a handful of buddies who ride and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM has been in an accident with their bike. Why even risk it?
Sorry, get off my lawn, shaking fist at cloud, etc...
Rant over.

Harleys and the need to loudly rev them up for a half hour before riding them.

One other obnoxious behavior, which seems limited to big bikes/bikers, is flirting with the center line. This is especially bad in groups, where pairs of motorcyclists ride side-by-side. More often than not, some combination of fairing, knee and chrome from the inside rider spills over into oncoming traffic.

Or revving them when they go through a tunnel or overpass. Cool guy!

A few years ago I had just parked my car in a parking garage at Foxwoods. A group of 4 bikers rode through the same level while revving up their bikes which actually set off a couple car alarms.

Some prospective criminals use loud noise from their stereos/exhaust to target vehicles for break-ins.

The trash across the street from me often rev their bikes just for the hell of it. I mean... really?

once helped the friend of a friend push his motorcycle up steps from outside, in to their first floor apartment in a 2-story 4-plex.
guy said he was just going to store the bike inside for a couple days since he didn't want it getting stolen or some ****. anyways, he wound up keeping the bike in their living area for weeks, wrenching on the thing and periodically starting it up to test out his tinkering.
guy would fire it up and rev the thing repeatedly. in their living room. he did it once when i was over. that's a loud i don't ever want to experience again in my lifetime.

I can't imagine how, after the FIRST time, the office didn't get a call from everyone else in the building. I'm pretty confident in saying that HAD to break the rules of his lease.
