unacceptable behaviour – the scrunchie

Posted on 22/01/201028/11/2013

part two in the ‘unasseptible behaviour’ series, wherein we discuss/debate/kill each other over behaviour that may or may not be deemed unacceptable.

first up, you may remember, was socks with flip flops.

yes, which i think we all (the four of us who commented) unanimously agreed is unacceptable behaviour. (together with the croc, which garnered some debate, but as far as i’m concerned unless you’re under 10 or a chef, they’re unacceptable people!)

next up we have… drum roll please…

the scrunchie:


remember that?

this was a huge fashion statement in the late eighties/early nineties. i had them. my sisters had them. my friends all had them. you know you had them. and sadly enough a far too large percentage of the population still has them. i saw one at the gym the other day. it was floral and horrifying.


eurotard indeed!

truly not acceptable. even if you are the teller at the bank and you have to wear pumps as part of your work uniform.

i’m not one to beg, but please, please tell me you agree.
