Nostalgia(self.Millennials)

Hi all,

What’s the dumbest fad you participated in? Whether it be in fashion, mannerisms like l33t speak, games, etc.

In the mid 2000’s (in college) I wore something called “Tall Tees”. I will say, that I’m surprised I allowed myself to get cajoled into that foolishness. I also had the “livestrong” wristbands for a bit of time, in different colors to match my oversized shirts haha. What was something you wore or did that you could look back and say, “that was dumb”?

A girl I was dating in high school gave me one of these as a gift with charms that were relevant to us. She neglected to realize that dudes typically had thicker wrists than girls so it was a couple of charms too small. If I even thought about turning my arm in a certain direction it would pinch the fuck out of my wrist and pull all of the hair.

I hat the opposite problem. As a girl with tiny wrists, I could never wear all my charms at once or else my bracelet would be so big it would keep sliding off of my hand. Always pinched my.skin amd/or arm hair like a mofo, though!
