Tacky or Not Tacky?
Let's play a game. Are the following things/events/ideas tacky or not tacky?
1. Squeezing 7 people into a tea room that your waitress says can only hold 6 people
2. Announcing a friend's big event on your Facebook status before the friend announces anything (for example, having a baby, getting engaged, getting anal reconstruction, etc.)
3. Putting up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving
4. Letting your (little) kid wear a shirt that says "My mom is a fox" or "My dad is hot" or something discussing parental attractiveness
5. Sending dictures
Re: Tacky or Not Tacky?
My answers:
1. Squeezing 7 people into a tea room that your waitress says can only hold 6 people - Not in the least. What is tacky, however, is a waitress mouth breathing into your ear while she leans over you to serve everyone.
2. Announcing a friend's big event on your Facebook status before the friend announces anything (for example, having a baby, getting engaged, getting anal reconstruction, etc.) - Yes. I saw this happen today and I'm mad for the mutual friend it happened to. I should defriend the thunder stealer.
3. Putting up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving - Yes yes yes yes
4. Letting your (little) kid wear a shirt that says "My mom is a fox" or "My dad is hot" or something discussing parental attractiveness - Yes, especially if the parent in question is super fug. I hate that kind of overcompensation.
5. Sending dictures - No. I love getting dictures.
1. Not tacky at all!
2. Very, very tacky.
3. Tacky and weird.
4. Creepy and also quite tacky.
5. This depends on whether or not the recipient wants your dictures. If they do - not tacky. If they don't - extremely tacky.
This.
1. Not if the 7 people are midgets. Err, vertically challenged.
2. Having a baby - yes.
Getting married - yes.
Anal reconstruction - who announces this on FB anyways?! I doubt thunder would be stolen on this front, so I vote just plain fvcked up.
3. There were people in my neighborhood putting up Christmas decorations before Halloween - wtf?!
4. I think doing this indicates the parents are probably individuals who would also commit action #5 below...
5. Probably tacky. I've never gotten one, but I think I'd be a little squicky about it no matter who it came from.
