Local people on local roads with a sat nav stuck to their window - do they expect to get lost travelling from the shop/work/family to their own home?
Good one.They think having an illuminated display in their car makes the car more 'modern'.
IIRC Uggs were an Australian idea as an alternative for slippers. Theye were created to wear as something comfy round the house together with PJs or onesies. I doubt the maker ever expected people to wear them outdoors, thus their tendency to collapse when faced with solid pavements and a journey to the corner shop for fags and scratchcards.

A self entitled little tart at work who barged in front of everyone else who were waiting patiently for the lift at work this morning irritated me more than it probably should. Clearly thought she was more important than everyone else. Probably late for her boss who was patiently waiting for his blow job.
Turned you down, did she?
She was also wearing BOSE headphones. Rude and lack of taste.

Are you sure they are not dashcams? You never know when some idiot is going to pull out straight in front of you from a side road these days. 
Consider it to be the equivalent of a Duke of Edinburgh Award.

People who say 'scamera'.
Don't criticise people who say scamera. They are the Oscar Wildes and P G Wodehouse of the 21st century. They are the wits that gave you Fleabay. Scumtree, Daily Fail/Wail Halfrauds and probably spell surely as Shirley.It's the same category of horsesh*t as repeating catchphrases and I get this overwhelming urge to push down a well anyone who says; "Am I bovvered?", "You are the weakest link! Goodbye!", "Are you going out out?", "Garlic bread!" or any other of the hundreds of stale lumps of recycled sh*t that people trot out. I'd hit them all with my car if I thought I'd could away with it.

Ask anyone who's wearing them 'why', and a pound to a penny says they'll respond with a 'because they're comfy'.
And this is a bad thing? Men's shoes are, on the whole, comfortable and easy to live with all day without feeling like your feet have been permanently crippled by the end of the day. The same can't be said for ladies shoes, sadly.
So "because they're comfy" is a big deal and comes much higher up the priority list than satisfying the sartorial requirements of a random male stranger.
About 98.73% of Ugg boots I've seen being worn have already been "ruined"...
...feckin' horrid things.
Except the vast majority you see are fake. I’ve know loads of friends who have them - real ones - and they’ll say the same that only fake ones collapse like that. The wife has c.8pairs on the go at any one time all last really well and take a lot of abuse and use.
Also it’s a total fallacy that they’re no good in the wet - they have a reasonable level of waterproofing out of the box and Ugg also sell as part of their conditioning kit the spray that makes them totally waterproof and water repelling - my wife uses one of her pairs for dog walking as an example and they regularly get a good mudding and soaking and still look fine and perform as they should

A bit OT here, but I always thought that Bose was supposed to be the Rolls-Royce of speakers, although I don’t have any.She was also wearing BOSE headphones. Rude and lack of taste.
Some 15 years back, we were in Savannah GA, when I got a text from my youngest son, it said, “Dad, I’m looking for a set of Bose speakers, but they are an arm and a leg here, I’ve been quoted £X, if you can get a set cheaper in the U.S., I’d appreciate it if you’d get them for me, love, your son X”
I went online, and found what he wanted, for at least 33% less than they were in U.K., including U.S. tax.
Bummer was, the nearest outlet was in Dawsonville GA, a tad over 300 miles from Savannah.
Still, what are dads for, he got his speakers okay.
We get our shopping delivered by Sainsbury's and though we are all told that carrier bags are a 'NO' and that we will be shamed if we buy one, every single refrigerated item they deliver is in a small plastic bag. The very nature of the item means it's already in a sealed plastic package of sorts, so why does it now need a bag too? And if it does, why not put a number of items in one bigger bag? I think we used to call them carrier bags? Every week we literally throw away 20 or more small plastic bags.that were wrapped around an already packaged item. I don't get it!

No doubt thats what people who buy them think they are, but in reality, those with even a little knowledge on audio know that they are mediocre at best for the prices they like to charge. It's a bit like paying Mercedes money, getting the badge, but getting a Vauxhall underneath it all.TameRacingDriver said:

They don't, they look absolutely s
t. Like tucked in shell-suits, white sports socks with Brantano loafers, they are an obvious sign of a chav. Someone who would quite happily take their kids (by three different dads) to Tesco in an un-taxed and utterly wrecked Zafira, to buy them their Dairylea lunchables, and an extra packet of crisps ('because'), all the while dressed in PJs and Uggs.Because, well, they're comfortable.
No.
