Things That Are Now Accepted

[chillikebab]

People who say "off of" instead of "from" e.g "Chillikebab off of the SMB".

Lots of dinosaurs outing themselves on this thread!

 

[itscoldinhere]

Lads hugging each other when they meet. It used to just be a firm handshake

Going to go straight in for the hug next time I see you

Beards

 

[mini-x2]

Beards, tattoos and tight jeans unfortunately. Let’s face it, anyone sporting any of these now must have serious issues.

 

[itscoldinhere]

Not wearing socks

Does a good strong fisting not make it acceptable though?

Tidied.

 

[mini-x2]

Not wearing socks

Been acceptable ever since the days of Wham! and Miami Vice!

 

[weebil64]

Using 'of' instead of 'have'.

 

[chillikebab]

Paper straws in pubs.

I’ll raise you that and add not shaving.
Beards have always been around in some form but this thing of it being acceptable to show up for work, especially in a public facing job, with a couple of days of stubble cos you ‘hate shaving’ is a bane on the modern world.
I don’t particularly relish wiping me bum but the consequences of not doing so outweigh the inconvenience. Bloody scruffs.

Given the context of your post, my brain had convinced me that was ‘pubic’

Text speak, atrocious spelling and the inability to string a sentence together in English, exacerbated by the underclass/fuckwits using Facebook to vent their spleen.

I didn't say it was a problem, just I can remember the time before man- hugs were the norm. I think it became a thing during the ecstasy scene tbh

Big, young bucks like myself collecting and wearing a range of flat caps in streets and bars.

Lads in gym changing rooms fussing on to make sure their hair is perfectly styled, before they go into gym
Lads in gym spraying themselves with deodorant and scent before they go into gym
Lads with spray aftershave, they just sort of spray it around in the air, in general proximity to their head, bit like what out mams used to do with hair spray
Coppers with tattoos on show

I’ve read (on here) that lads now pop in the gym with going out gear on to get pumped before a night out on the lash. It’s not something I’ve ever witnessed but I was initially in disbelief. Oh, how the world has changed in twenty years.

. Wanting to cut off your willy and "become a woman" is a clear sign of mental issues..

It isn’t. It is a sign of your ignorance.

........but were once perceived as eccentric as Bertrand Russell observed.
Japanese firms doing pre shift exercises.... now gyms are chokka on a morning.

Who were you before your latest ban? Just so we know.

Puffs and lezzas cavorting around in public.

Lasses being allowed in bars on a Sunday lunchtime.

cycle lanes

Had a great chat with one of the older blokes at work about this, he's a level headed, normal bloke but bloody hell does he disagree with this sort of thing, got quite heated at times. Amazing what 20ish years can do to generational tolerance.

 

[S.S.R..]

Letting your kids run about in shops, screaming their heads off.

Wearing woolly hats when the sun is cracking the flags and no one thinking you're simple.

Traffic being complete arse any time of day.
