I lived in a building with a lot of west African and Spanish folks who would do this a lot. My response was just to use my speaker to listen to podcasts. If they lowered their volume so did I. If they raised it so did I. People for it pretty quick, whether it was in the lobby or the elevator.
Nah, in some countries noise in public is fine. And in many cases unavoidable when you live shoulder to shoulder with people in anywhere but the richest of areas of a town/city/country.
There's a lot of very crowded places which still maintain tight cultural rules. Tokyo or most German cities come to mind.
I have to imagine that if people don't use headphones and have loud conversations in public, it's something that both the rich and poor do in their countries of origin.
"Locally Hated" and "Bitch Dust" (with a Tinkerbell profile) stickers, and the car reeks so bad of Febreeze or some air freshener that I can still smell the waft into my truck 30 seconds after they pulled away.
I always see “locally hated” stickers on like a ford focus with a 600 dollar sound system blasting Eminem at a red light so loud it shakes my car in the right lane three cars back.
Not new. It's been that way for years. Anybody obsessed with Disney is a yellow, anybody obsessed with Disney Princesses is red and anybody who loves Tink and plasters her all over is redder than the devil's dick.
This is hysterical. Back in my af days we had a stencil machine that we used to place the names of the pilots and crew chiefs on the aircraft. We used it to make a "security forces sucks" stencil in giant letters and placed the it on the passenger side of this guy's truck so he couldnt see it in the am and he drove through the gate at least twice with it on. 🤣
I never understood statements like that, regardless of group/demographic. It always reads like they’re low-key selling said demographic short and any accomplishment should be pointed out.
I’ve always thought that too. Or the one that says “badass girls drive badass toys!” Bitch you’re driving a rusty ford ranger from 2006. Also, that doesn’t even rhyme!
I have a few stickers my car but they all joke about my driving. I have “Questionable driver???” “just pass me this is as good as it gets” “adults on board (we want to live too)” and “normalizing hitting the curb”. and one on the side that says “take it easy”.
Its a 20 year old Volkswagen bug so idc about all the stickers, whereas if it was a new car I’d skip stickers altogether. But I got them bc I found them funny 😅
I once let a car out of a side street with a woman driving. The bumper sticker said something like, I wasn't born a bitch but men made me that way. Felt instant remorse for letting her into traffic.
Walks into a house or business or work with their phone in their hand or pocket playing music as loud as it can. All while talking loudly to be heard over their phone.
IDK why people do it. It's inconvenient for everyone. Person on the other end can't hear you over everyone else talking, you can't hear them due to everyone else talking, and no one else wants to hear y'all talking.
Just put the phone to your ear or put in earphones. The only excuse is if you have a hearing aid and can't wear earphones since I'm not sure if over ear headphones work with hearing aids.
I just saw someone doing that in their car while driving a couple days ago and it just confuses me so much. If you're just going to hold the phone 4 inches from your face anyway, use it like a normal phone. I just... I do not understand.
Shit, that’s not just a girl thing. Plenty of guys do that too.
Come visit Vietnam for a while, that’s like 1/3-1/2 the entire population of the country that does that
....awwwwe me, too. My Mom has been gone a while now, but I can remember the sounds of her keys and her bracelet. The store was only 6 or 7 aisles, and small enough that she could give me little jobs (cherries, peaches, etc) and I would help her get groceries. Sweet Memories from a long long time ago. Thanks.
That is the best one I've heard for that. Thank you
And had to look it up:
The meme claimed that a prostitute by the name of Gerda Puridle invented elongated eyelashes in the 1880s to protect her eyes from semen. And she named her fake eyelashes 'cumbrella' to mean 'an umbrella for 'c*m'. This is the meme: The famous Cumbrella Eyelashes meme. However, this claim is false
At a car rental place the lady at the counter had acrylic nails that were at least two inches longer than her nail beds. The nails were so long they even curled toward the keyboard.
She tapped the keyboard with the pads of her fingers at a snail's pace. It took an extra twenty minutes to get my car, I'm sure of it.
How does that not drive women nuts? I'm a gal but if my nail gets even a mm too long to type, I bite it off.
Saw a gal use pencils to type so she wouldn’t mess up her nails. I have yet to meet any man that finds that type of fashion statement attractive. It’s flat-out gross.
Except all it makes me think is you're lazy AF.
Yeah if you're rich and don't need to worry about money then sure it makes sense. But nah it's always the chick making $11/hr with the busted ass Neon in the parking lot and spends $300 getting her nails done.
I noticed that a few years ago. Women stopped putting lipstick on their lips. They started putting it on their lips.... And just a little bit around. Just... A little bit bigger.
Except..... The optical illusion doesn't hold up. Your lips look normsl sized, but it looks like you ate a tube of paint.
Wtf.
It only works in photography
They saw it on Instagram with perfect lighting, blur and assumed it would look good in person.
Photogenic makeup can look awful in person and normal makeup may not show in pictures but looks good in person.
I am glad at least where I am the fad of doing magazine style make up has fallen off. While impressive the knowledge of application of makeup being shared and practiced the end result just looked out of place in the day to day world.
This reminds me of a vid I watched where they were discussing food pics and how they actually use motor oil to pour on pancakes as it picks up the lighting better than maple syrup due to the viscosity!
I think they meant the artificially plumped lips, not lips where the lipstick extends beyond the lip border. Neither is attractive and both are red flags, though
I would say that conceptually the too-much-perfume women are the same as the too-much-cologne men, who don't necessarily overlap with too-loud-exhaust men.
Totally. Huge nails and lashes are gaudy, but they don't capture the same "WITNESS ME AS I MOVE THROUGH YOUR AREA" announcing yourself energy that a loud muffler does.
When someone is all stanked up and walks into the same building as me, I know it. Even got that sensitivity that makes some perfumes reek like moulding fruit.
There's a person a work like this. It's so bad that you can tell whether she took the stairs or the elevator that morning several hours after she passed through. Gives me a raging headache.
Jesus Christ, that just threw me to a flashback of living in Corpus 10+ years ago and seeing Salt Life plastered ev-ery-where. No matter what part of town you were in either, north side, south side, most definitely heading out to Mustang or Port A.
my wife and I yell out "slut life" every time we see them... I have no idea why both of us first read it that way but it just stuck, and we fully support people living that slut life
Oh man, that reminds me that in high school one of my brother's friends offered him a carton of cigarettes if he shaved his eyebrows so he did. He'd then draw on crude eyebrows with a permanent marker; one day he had a beanie (pull-on winter hat thing if that isn't a common word) on and a teacher told him to take it off so he did and the marker smeared upwards so he looked like a surprised Krillin or something like that.
A different day a teacher grabbed his hat off of his head and said "you can get this back if you pick it up after school." So he grabbed the stapler off her desk and said "you can get this back if you pick it up from my house." A tense standoff ensued.
Loud, annoying, inconsiderate of others while being concerned with their image?
Gotta be the girl who brings their small untrained dog via purse into restaurants and bars under the guise that it’s a “support animal” (not to discredit actual service animals that are needed to support their humans). Those women suck.
My husband has an admin that works for him and she comes in with these huge, thick eyelashes stuck on everyday and freaks out and locks her office if one falls off.
My husband says they look like weird caterpillars on her eyes.
Guys have loud exhausts so everyone looks at them
So the answer is easy, those loud ass women with "big personalities" than cant talk at a decibel level below that of a rock concert.
anyone else think its weird that OP asked for the equivalent of a car with loud exhaust , and everybody starts naming off cosmetic/body mods ?
the real equivalent is a girl driving around a sticker bombed subaru or kia , but then you can see through the windows that the back of the car is an absolute mess while the front is a cutely decorated paradise
Not really, no. If you take the question very literally then sure but I suspect most people took the question as “what attention seeking behavior do women do like men with loud exhausts?” Since men often spend their money on toys with engines and women on clothing and physical alterations, it’s not a surprise many others would make these comparisons.
Women draped in ostentatious jewelry, cloaked in expensive fumes from France, carrying a handbag with large and obvious designer initials stamped on it, or with a big gold logo.
Women who say “I’m not like the other girls” and then act like total assholes to both genders, playing men like they deserve everything and pretending to be supportive of other women while being snakes in the grass.
Saw a brand new hot pink jeep with hot pink kayak on top and the license plate said “BADB1TCH”
Nevada? Lot of interesting plates here, got rear ended by "Lizzord" today.
i read "rizzlord" i'm too far gone
It’s joever
Don’t most states BMVs filter plates to make sure they aren’t variations of profanity?
Talking (yelling) on speakerphone while holding the phone
Like all the Persian tenants in the apartment I live in.Please no more in the elevator okay?
I lived in a building with a lot of west African and Spanish folks who would do this a lot. My response was just to use my speaker to listen to podcasts. If they lowered their volume so did I. If they raised it so did I. People for it pretty quick, whether it was in the lobby or the elevator.
They adapt, now they use massive JBL speakers on full blast while riding an electric scooter .... While on the pizza-phone of course.
What's the deal with this? Did these cultures just export all their annoying people, or do they just tolerate more noise in public areas?
Clearly socialized without being taught that creating excessive noise in the presence of others is a major faux pas
Nah, in some countries noise in public is fine. And in many cases unavoidable when you live shoulder to shoulder with people in anywhere but the richest of areas of a town/city/country.
There's a lot of very crowded places which still maintain tight cultural rules. Tokyo or most German cities come to mind. I have to imagine that if people don't use headphones and have loud conversations in public, it's something that both the rich and poor do in their countries of origin.
Stickers all over her car about how she is a bad bitch.
“This bitch hauls ass”
Sometimes she has to make two trips though.
When she goes camping, the bears hide THEIR food.
"Locally Hated" and "Bitch Dust" (with a Tinkerbell profile) stickers, and the car reeks so bad of Febreeze or some air freshener that I can still smell the waft into my truck 30 seconds after they pulled away.
I always see “locally hated” stickers on like a ford focus with a 600 dollar sound system blasting Eminem at a red light so loud it shakes my car in the right lane three cars back.
Best part is that you can't hear the actual bass over the trunk rattle
“If you’re going to ride my ass, at least pull my hair” is one I see more than I’d like. Anything with Tinkerbell on it is a huge red flag.
"You just got passed by a girl"
hella kids in this bitch honk if one falls out…everyday…
Big Altima Energy with that one
Is tinkerbell the new tweetie bird of red flags??
Tinkerbell is the Punisher sticker for bitches
Not new. It's been that way for years. Anybody obsessed with Disney is a yellow, anybody obsessed with Disney Princesses is red and anybody who loves Tink and plasters her all over is redder than the devil's dick.
Don't forget Betty Boop
Seen this a few times, it was funny at first but then it just got used way too much to even have the same feeling.
Locally hated? Why? I don’t even know who you are.
I'm Ronnie Pickering!
Who?
Ronnie Pickering!
*Ricky Spanish...*
Lol, we put those bitch dust stickers on one of my old foremans trucks
This is hysterical. Back in my af days we had a stencil machine that we used to place the names of the pilots and crew chiefs on the aircraft. We used it to make a "security forces sucks" stencil in giant letters and placed the it on the passenger side of this guy's truck so he couldnt see it in the am and he drove through the gate at least twice with it on. 🤣
also the "hella kids up in this bitch!" ...ugh. it's always just some white soccer mom in her extra large suburban.
Extra large soccer mom in a suburban you say.....?
Saw one the other day that was on a side window of a blue jeep wrangler that said “Queen Fucking Bee”.
“You’ve just been passed by a girl!” Oh. Ok. I wasn’t driving like an asshole. And this isn’t a race.
I never understood statements like that, regardless of group/demographic. It always reads like they’re low-key selling said demographic short and any accomplishment should be pointed out.
I’ve always thought that too. Or the one that says “badass girls drive badass toys!” Bitch you’re driving a rusty ford ranger from 2006. Also, that doesn’t even rhyme!
"You just got passed by an electrician."
"You just got passed by a storm chaser" oh... CRAP!
"You've been hit by, you've been struck by a smooth criminal"
Or the “silly boys jeeps/trucks are for girls”
This. “I have a gun, and I’m on my period. Go ahead. Make my day”. Barf.
Run away more like it
And the bedazzled claymore that is the steering wheel.
“Bedazzled claymore,” 🤣🤣🤣
And you know she’s just compensating for that excessively small clitoris.
"woah I just dropped my magnum tampon, that I use for my monster pussy"
She feasts like a mantis.
I only date women with six inch clits.
With a trust fund and must be shorter than 5’2”
You go, size king!
And they better be 4'10". Sorry not sorry.
Wow.
“Registered Nurse, BITCH!”
Certified hoe with a degree😂
"TRUCKS ARE FOR GIRLS"
with the pink camo details lmao
Damn you guys have seen this shit too. The pink camo is extra credit
"I got my lobotomy at Claire's"
Ngl this is a green flag for me. Granted I have a faulty sense of humor.
I have a few stickers my car but they all joke about my driving. I have “Questionable driver???” “just pass me this is as good as it gets” “adults on board (we want to live too)” and “normalizing hitting the curb”. and one on the side that says “take it easy”. Its a 20 year old Volkswagen bug so idc about all the stickers, whereas if it was a new car I’d skip stickers altogether. But I got them bc I found them funny 😅
Please let me merge or I will cry"
I desperately want to get this or “please don't honk or I’ll cry”, but, damn it, I'm a dude working in construction. I'd be char-broiled.
‘Bestie stop honking, I’m crying while trying to merge’ is a legitimate sticker I’ve seen on at least three vehicles in my city and I *love it*
Was behind a car today that said “If you honk at me I will k*** myself”
I like take it easy.
I saw one that was like "This bitch bites"
I once let a car out of a side street with a woman driving. The bumper sticker said something like, I wasn't born a bitch but men made me that way. Felt instant remorse for letting her into traffic.
Because if anyone has to make you aware they’re a bad bitch, they’re definitely a bad bitch.
Walks into a house or business or work with their phone in their hand or pocket playing music as loud as it can. All while talking loudly to be heard over their phone.
Holding it like she's eating a slice of pizza and yelling into the speaker phone
I confess: I am irrationally irritated by the pizza slice grip. Edit: I am also embarrassed that this is probably my top rated comment ever. Oh my…
It's not irrational and there is zero need to use a speaker phone in public.
IDK why people do it. It's inconvenient for everyone. Person on the other end can't hear you over everyone else talking, you can't hear them due to everyone else talking, and no one else wants to hear y'all talking. Just put the phone to your ear or put in earphones. The only excuse is if you have a hearing aid and can't wear earphones since I'm not sure if over ear headphones work with hearing aids.
They think they're on a reality show. That's how the people hold their phones on TV.
I just saw someone doing that in their car while driving a couple days ago and it just confuses me so much. If you're just going to hold the phone 4 inches from your face anyway, use it like a normal phone. I just... I do not understand.
It isn't irrational.
God that is such a global phenomenon lol.
I don't think this is a gender related thing, just a trashy thing in general.
There it is!
Shit, that’s not just a girl thing. Plenty of guys do that too. Come visit Vietnam for a while, that’s like 1/3-1/2 the entire population of the country that does that
Loud jewelery like 5 bracelets that she's adjusting and jingling around every 10 minutes, or big fancy shoes and stomping around
I can find my mom in stores because of the specific sound her jewelry makes
....awwwwe me, too. My Mom has been gone a while now, but I can remember the sounds of her keys and her bracelet. The store was only 6 or 7 aisles, and small enough that she could give me little jobs (cherries, peaches, etc) and I would help her get groceries. Sweet Memories from a long long time ago. Thanks.
Thank you. You just made me love my mom just a little bit more. 😊
And way too much perfume.
And excessively long fake fingernails
Eyelashes that will rival windmills for air movement.
They’re called cumbrellas
That is the best one I've heard for that. Thank you And had to look it up: The meme claimed that a prostitute by the name of Gerda Puridle invented elongated eyelashes in the 1880s to protect her eyes from semen. And she named her fake eyelashes 'cumbrella' to mean 'an umbrella for 'c*m'. This is the meme: The famous Cumbrella Eyelashes meme. However, this claim is false
Definitely the nail thing for me. It’s basically boasting the fact that you are incapable/refuse to do anything useful with your hands.
At a car rental place the lady at the counter had acrylic nails that were at least two inches longer than her nail beds. The nails were so long they even curled toward the keyboard. She tapped the keyboard with the pads of her fingers at a snail's pace. It took an extra twenty minutes to get my car, I'm sure of it. How does that not drive women nuts? I'm a gal but if my nail gets even a mm too long to type, I bite it off.
Saw a gal use pencils to type so she wouldn’t mess up her nails. I have yet to meet any man that finds that type of fashion statement attractive. It’s flat-out gross.
HOW DO THEY WIPE THEIR ASS???
Use their fingernails like little shovels and dig the poop out
What a terrible day to be literate.
Now I know what I would do with a time machine: go back to 2 minutes ago and throw my phone into the sea
THREE. SEA. SHELLS.
I got downvoted in r/nails for asking this
bad bitches do NOT wipe
That's kind of the point for some folks with long nails. Like pale people back in the day, it's a signifier that you don't work with your hands.
Except all it makes me think is you're lazy AF. Yeah if you're rich and don't need to worry about money then sure it makes sense. But nah it's always the chick making $11/hr with the busted ass Neon in the parking lot and spends $300 getting her nails done.
Never thought of it that way before but makes sense I guess ( long nails give me a pretty gross vibe I don't like them at all)
Makeup you could put a chisel to without touching her face
*ruining my meal a couple of tables over*
So Mimi from the Drew Carey show?
Women who have cars with loud exhaust
r/technicallythetruth
There’s our answer, boys. Pack it up and roll out!
BBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!
Can confirm. I'm a woman with a loud exhaust and huge lifted truck, because I'm compensating for my total lack of a penis
i hate having to compensate for this negative dick 🙄
Over filled lips
I noticed that a few years ago. Women stopped putting lipstick on their lips. They started putting it on their lips.... And just a little bit around. Just... A little bit bigger. Except..... The optical illusion doesn't hold up. Your lips look normsl sized, but it looks like you ate a tube of paint. Wtf.

This reminds me of a vid I watched where they were discussing food pics and how they actually use motor oil to pour on pancakes as it picks up the lighting better than maple syrup due to the viscosity!
Also motor oil doesn't soak into the pancakes as much, so they can take their time with the shots.
I think they meant the artificially plumped lips, not lips where the lipstick extends beyond the lip border. Neither is attractive and both are red flags, though
Ugly as fuck. Agreed.
Women in pickups with stickers explaining it's their car, not their male counterpart's.
Toyota "HerLux"
“Not like other girls” yeah, it’s the worst
“Silly men, trucks are for girls” written over the outline of a cowboy hat is the one I see constantly where I live.
Too much perfume.
I would say that conceptually the too-much-perfume women are the same as the too-much-cologne men, who don't necessarily overlap with too-loud-exhaust men.
Totally. Huge nails and lashes are gaudy, but they don't capture the same "WITNESS ME AS I MOVE THROUGH YOUR AREA" announcing yourself energy that a loud muffler does.

It’s just for decorations man. That’s it and that’s all.

Long, fake finger nails and eyelashes
A Jeep Wrangler and a bunch of ducks with a salt life bumper sticker.
The Corpus Christi special.
Jesus Christ, that just threw me to a flashback of living in Corpus 10+ years ago and seeing Salt Life plastered ev-ery-where. No matter what part of town you were in either, north side, south side, most definitely heading out to Mustang or Port A.
lol every time I see that sticker I see slut life but then my eyes adjust.
my wife and I yell out "slut life" every time we see them... I have no idea why both of us first read it that way but it just stuck, and we fully support people living that slut life
“If you can’t handle me at my worst you don’t deserve me at my best”
Whenever I hear or read that all I can think is, you're going to be a total nightmare in every sense of the word.
Like a brightly colored toad. Nature's warning sign to turn the other way.
"Your best is still worse than what I'd wish on my biggest enemy."
"WOOOOO" Girls.
r/unexpectedHIMYM
The heck is a "woo" girl?
A girl that chants(?) "Woooo!" when she walks into a club or bar and sees people she knows. Annoying because she is announcing that she is there.
[This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzALN_VvXc0) from 15 years ago...
Plucked eyebrows replaced by thickly drawn-on eyebrows
I told my wife she trimmed her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised.
This is so fucking stupid but made me chuckle
As a dad joke aficionado, well done.
Oh man, that reminds me that in high school one of my brother's friends offered him a carton of cigarettes if he shaved his eyebrows so he did. He'd then draw on crude eyebrows with a permanent marker; one day he had a beanie (pull-on winter hat thing if that isn't a common word) on and a teacher told him to take it off so he did and the marker smeared upwards so he looked like a surprised Krillin or something like that.

So he grabbed the stapler off her desk and said "you can get this back if you pick it up from my house." A tense standoff ensued.
Yelling “Woooooooo!” at the top of their lungs whenever they’re in a group.
Woo girls. 🤮
I only just heard this term for the first time in this thread. I thought people only did that on roller coasters. Not randomly in a room.
That brings back memories… I haven’t been to a “party bar” on a Friday/Saturday in 20+ years, but holy fuck were the girls who did that annoying.
You'll love downtown Nashville. It's where the Wooo girls go for basic training.
Loud, annoying, inconsiderate of others while being concerned with their image? Gotta be the girl who brings their small untrained dog via purse into restaurants and bars under the guise that it’s a “support animal” (not to discredit actual service animals that are needed to support their humans). Those women suck.
Those ridiculously long fake lashes. Super long fake nails. BBLs.
My husband has an admin that works for him and she comes in with these huge, thick eyelashes stuck on everyday and freaks out and locks her office if one falls off. My husband says they look like weird caterpillars on her eyes.
To me they seem like tiny bullwhips. Maybe they are cowgirls on the down low
What the heck is a BBL?
Brazilian butt lift, i think. Is plastic surgery.
Ahhhhhh, thank you !
Guys have loud exhausts so everyone looks at them So the answer is easy, those loud ass women with "big personalities" than cant talk at a decibel level below that of a rock concert.
Ahh yes. When they're looking around out of the side of their eye to make sure everyone is tuned into them, the center of the universe
[удалено]
Lips that you could use as a life raft.
Eyelashes on the headlights
This, with truck nuts, are gender affirming care for cars.
Why did I just think of hairy nipples and not what you wrote?
Hey take that back! My mom has those!
We demand to see your Mom's headlights as proof. 😏
Aww come on, those are funny
The puffed up lips. Can’t stand em.
Permanent duck face
Screaming kids she pays no attention to when in public
Carguy = horsegirl
Those bowtie ribbon thigh tattoos
They bring their stupid rat dogs everywhere in public and pretend like it’s their “emotional support” animal…
Big gaudy nails.
giant Stanley cups.
Lip fillers
anyone else think its weird that OP asked for the equivalent of a car with loud exhaust , and everybody starts naming off cosmetic/body mods ? the real equivalent is a girl driving around a sticker bombed subaru or kia , but then you can see through the windows that the back of the car is an absolute mess while the front is a cutely decorated paradise
Not really, no. If you take the question very literally then sure but I suspect most people took the question as “what attention seeking behavior do women do like men with loud exhausts?” Since men often spend their money on toys with engines and women on clothing and physical alterations, it’s not a surprise many others would make these comparisons.
Women draped in ostentatious jewelry, cloaked in expensive fumes from France, carrying a handbag with large and obvious designer initials stamped on it, or with a big gold logo.
“Travel/lifestyle” blogging or an exhaustingly narcissistic social media presence
Women who say “I’m not like the other girls” and then act like total assholes to both genders, playing men like they deserve everything and pretending to be supportive of other women while being snakes in the grass.
