When really attractive people stand around talking about how "ugly" they are.

But what if I really believe I'm ugly?

some people just don't understand it's not easy being really really really ridiculously good looking.

I don't like people stomping up stairs. I try to be as quiet as i can when walking up steps or just plain walking.
You know, i should work on this.

No Lady standing around the mall, in that ugly fuzzy boots/micro skirt combo actually <i>believes</i> their ugly. Not unless they have some sort of complex or something... Then I kinda feel bad.

Well, I'd weight the possibility.

Even people we admire have insecurities.

THAT is one of my pet peeves. Those boots, Uggs, combined with a skirt.

WHAT THE HELL?!? If you're wearing fuzzy boots you are cold. If you are wearing a skirt you are not cold. Stop being schizo and pick a temperature to be. Plus it looks clunky and ugly.

Unfortunately, I've been hatin' on Uggs for years, and they show no sign of going away. I love how ratty they all look by February; I take a certain delight in knowing that the people who have spent $200+ on the damned things will do so every year because of their unsuitability to Canadian winters.

Anybody wearing a skirt during Canadian winters is one of my pet peeves! Specially here in Sask! It gets Fuggin COLD! I mean... Your standing outside a club in some Latex/vinyl Micro Mini ... And unless you gots yourself a damn long coat - You look stupid!

Not saying I've never done that before... but still.

Canadians represent! :D

I've worn a skirt in the winter before. Really, wearing a skirt with stockings and knee-high boots isn't much chillier than just wearing jeans and short boots. But, I'll grant you, it was a relatively sensible skirt. I don't understand the miniskirt-in-Canadian-winter thing, no.

(Oh, jeez, if we're griping about fashion, how about tight-tights with no skirt? Just a shirt and tights? I really don't think there's any way to make that look not-repulsive, and my uni's campus is full of people who don't seem to grasp this.)

And think it looks Good? How Odd.

Skirts? Where I come from, we call things that narrow belts.

I can only assume that they're doing so to show men their pantylines...?

No really, I'm serious. Why else would you wear a pair of tights with no other covering, while not playing a part in a show that required it?

So to clarify, there are boys in this thread who have a pet peeve surrounding girls wearing skirts. OK. ComicGenesis is gay. Got it.

Typically done with a tunic. It can look all right.

I think the point is not against skirts, but against teeny, I'm-such-a-slut-but-don't-look-at-my-cooter-or-I'll-file-sexual-harssment skirts. Esp. when gross, skanky, disease-riddled girls wear them. There's nothing sexy about your herpes poking outta your drawers like a hundred tiny testicles, dear!

Seems the pet peeve should be "People who don't get their STD's treated."

Kolter, Laemkral's a boy, and this has come up before.

Unfortunately, they do it with regular shirts (I think the tunic look is okay, too), which does not look all right.
