Some years ago, I was at the vet (I see a lot of trashy things at my vet, evidently…) and a young woman had a cute mixed breed puppy… with her ears pierced.
The dog. Not the woman. Obviously this was not done AT the vet… the techs and receptionists were apalled.
I would have LOVED to have heard my good ol’ boy country vet’s thoughts on this when he saw it.
I was reminded of something the other day - may not be the absolute trashiest thing I’ve ever seen, but it was right up there!
Christmas day, at my in-laws’ house: I was cooking most of the day, because my brother-in-law was in the hospital, and I volunteered to fix meals for all of their company, so that they would feel free to go tend to their son. My sister-in-law was completely hammered… had been since at least the previous night, and started drinking with breakfast on Christmas day. (Believe me, gave new meaning to “Christmas spirit!”) Anyway, my daughter - 4 days shy of 10 years old that day - would wander into the kitchen now and again, and every single time, her aunt would offer her a sample of whatever she was drinking: 4 Loko (sp?), cognac, eggnog, mimosas, etc. Fortunately, the girl child Just Said No, but I was somewhere between completely bemused and furious…
This is more sad than anything, but it merits a ‘trashy’ mention. Local man imprisoned for several years, was found to be innocent, released, given a couple million dollars payoff by the state. Recently arrested for possession of a brick of heroin. While he was out, with his big money, he bought: three properties in Florida; a five bedroom McMansion with a pool with a waterslide; twenty (!) cars; and…a chauffeured white stretch limo to take him and his wife out barhopping.
When I used to be a heroin addict, I hung out with a LOT of fucked-up people, but one in particular stands out…a young girl who had two daughters. She would keep the kids locked in the living room with one of those pet-barrier things while she smoked crack in the kitchen.
On a Spring Break trip to Austin, TX one year, we were poking around some awesome little store and found a glow-in-the-dark Virgin Mary statuette, which my friend purchased.
Cut to later that night, when I’m awakened out of a sound sleep by the feeling that something is…amiss. My eyes blink open in the totally dark room, and I roll over, only to come face to face with the glowing green, Mother of God floating in front of my eyes making moaning noises. The five seconds it took my cloudy brain to register what was going on were…memorable, if not exactly trashy.
I brought home a glow in the dark rubber bracelet from work one day. We sold them to raise funds. Anyway, I left it in the bathroom, and didn’t think anything of it until I was roused at app. 2 am by my SO going “What’s glowing in the bathroom?”
I once fell asleep wearing a glow-in-the-dark smiley face t-shirt. Later, when I woke up in the darkness needing to pee…well, I almost had an accident when I looked down and saw that glowing yellow face!
This pales in comparison to virtually everything I’ve read in this thread thus far, but I was at my cousin’s wedding in Miami a few weeks ago. I was turning on to a surface street near the wedding hall, and noticed a blue Hummer with something written on the back. Pretty large white letters on a black tinted rear window. As I approached the intersection I was able to read it:
You remind me of my real mother’s husband (not my father). When his boys were little I remember watching in disbelief and horror (I was about 10) as he let them each take a hearty gulp of his beer.
The little one didn’t much care for it but the elder loved it and kept going back for more. They were about 2 & 4 at this point. A real gem of a man.
In the big scheme of things, this isnt a biggie. But it is your typical lazy, inconsiderate redneck type of behavior.
My grandfather owned and lived on a big piece of land out in the country. Just your typical southeastern too crappy to farm land with pine trees and undergrowth on it. It also had lots of wild blueberry bushes on it. He or the rest of family never cared if random people came to pick the berries. Well, one day he is driving down the dirt road and here is a pickup truck piled high with blueberry bushes in the back. He’s a bit irked that somebody would actually take some, much less a bunch of blueberry bushes without at least asking (though, if they had asked, I am sure he woulda been fine with some being taken).
He observes that sure is a bunch of blueberry bushes. They must have a big yard to be transplanting so many bushes. They reply “oh, we ain’t replanting them, we are just taking the bushes and we’ll pick the berries off them when we get home”.
Its my undertanding that said social interaction went decidedly downhill after that.
This post reminded me of something else - a very good friend of mine still lives in Mississippi. She called the other day to ask me to look at a web site of a lady that breeds/sells dogs, one breed being the Miniature Pinscher. I checked it out and it’s really a sad little site with errors galore and the dogs don’t look purebred even though she is selling them as such. My friend also breeds/sells dogs and called this lady out of curiosity after seeing a classified ad and after viewing her web site.
Some of the photos of the dogs were awful! The dog’s ears had been cropped and were a mess. When my friend “innocently” asked her what vet she used for her ear cropping the lady responded with “Oh, I do all of my own ear crops and tail docking.” :eek: NOTE: This lady is not a vet or a vet tech or in the medical field in any way…
That’s one of my all-time favorites! The crackhead (white, grungy) told the cop she’d given money to the black woman under the impression she was paying for crack only to get nothing for it. The black woman (highly indignant at the suggestion she was in the drug trade), proudly told the cops “I’m a prostitute”.
My other favorite trashy Cops episodes: the guy who had made Unwanted Advances To A Businesswoman (he had, according to the complaint, groped the lady working at the Rent-All), being busted and hauled off to jail, while his wife informed him that he would “grow mold on his butt” before she’d bail him out.
And lastly the sting where an undercover vice cop in a car was getting flagged down by hookers who’d get into his vehicle and then (on hidden camera) offer services for cash. One especially raunchy-looking one tried to bolt out of the passenger seat upon learning she was under arrest, the cop tried unsuccessfully to grab her by the arm, and a brief chase ensued. Once she was cuffed, the woman (oblivious to the fact that the encounter had been preserved on video) began loudly asserting that the undercover officer had taken improper liberties with her.
“He touched me between my laigs!” “He touched me between my laigs!!!”
She yelled this about six times as they were reading her her rights and stowing her in the squad car.
