Disclaimer: This is solely my opinion and how I feel. I in no way am criticizing anyone who likes any of the following or who does any of the following.

No hate to any men with mustaches (and if men are reading my blog...hey!) but I can't stand seeing mustaches everywhere. On T-Shirts, Jewelry, Notebooks, Clothing, Purses, Decor -- they are everywhere! I will admit that I may have purchased a few things with mustaches on them when the trend first started, but now it's just getting annoying. I honestly hope this trend dies pretty soon...lol
Food Porn
I like food just as much as the next person does, maybe more! However, we don't need to see what you are eating every hour of every day. Sure, I take photos of my food to blog, tweet or facebook at times, but that would be when I am proud of something I made or saw/had something absolutely amazing. I don't randomly take pictures of my apple I'm chomping on or my chips that I am munching on.
The Acronym "YOLO"
Even though I'm 28 and not an obnoxious teenager (not all teenagers are obnoxious, just saying!) I know what YOLO means/stands for and I like the phrase "You Only Live Once", however I hate YOLO. It sounds stupid, it looks stupid and in my opinion; it's stupid. Is it too much work to actually say, "You Only Live Once"?
Cryptic Tweets/Facebook Posts (For attention)
I've seen this even on my own feed, it's quite annoying. If you say something like, "FML" or "I hate everything, I just want to die!" without explaining why, I'm not going to feel bad for you or give you the time of day. If you cry poverty and two days later post about your brand new iPad Air, I'm going to unfriend/unfollow you and classify you in my "attention whore" category. If you're going to post an extremely cryptic message, explain why so maybe people can have a chance to care!
Vlogs By Pre-Teens
Most recently I saw a beauty vlog from a 10 year old girl who had a huge makeup collection and was telling her audience how her dad bought her a camera and allows her to do this. First of all, my daughter isn't allowed to wear makeup in public until she's 14/15 and second of all, I would never allow her to post on YouTube at age 10. I'm not trying to criticize any parental methods, but it's just something that personally irks me. At 10 years of age, how much beauty knowledge do you have? Don't you want to play with your doll house or video games instead of painting on your face? At age 10, you're still a kid!
Smart Cars
They're cute but they can't be safe and have absolutely no room! I'm sure they're great on gas, but that's because they're less than half a regular car! (And cost equal or more to a full size vehicle!) I also see the biggest possible people in the teeny tiny smart cars, maybe they find it a challenge to try to fit themselves into the car, I don't know!
Current Music & Boy Bands
I come from the generation of Hanson, *N Sync, Backstreet Boys, LFO, 98 Degrees, etc... I absolutely love the boy bands of the 90's and early 2000's. After all, that's what I grew up listening to and I love it. However, a lot of the music in this generation is just plain annoying to me. I don't like Lady Gaga, I don't like Ke$ha, I don't like Justin Bieber (No offense to anyone who does!) and I feel like my mom when I tell my daughter to turn the music down. I now understand how my mom felt when I would listen to artists that got on her nerves.
What current trends annoy you to death?
