Hanging for horse thieves.
Pedestrians giving moving cars the right of way.
No. That may have been done, but it was NEVER cool. It’s stupid.
Barefeet.
Baseball caps being put on forwards properly.
NOT backwards,
NOT sideways,
NOT just floating on your scalp.
It drives me fucking mad and makes me want to bash their fucking skulls in.
Guillotine for politicians.
Oh I like that one ^^^ @ragingloli maybe it would make an honest lot out of them.
Saying please and thank you.
@RedDeerGuy1, yes—and “you’re welcome.” “No problem” does not mean the same thing. I consider it an inappropriate response.
Taking space aliens to area 51 to be dissected and scrutinized.
I don’t think “No problem,” is inappropriate. If you went through a lot of work for someone and they say “Thank you!” and you say, “No problem!” it says “I didn’t mind doing it at all. It was no trouble.”
Layered hair styles.
3 inch heals (rather than 5 inch) and a thicker heal, like a half to one inch diameter.
Interesting that “no problem” might bother some people. In Spanish “you’re welcome” in the two most commonly used forms basically means “it was nothing” or “no problem” if you translate them more literally. The most common two being “de nada” and “no hay de qué.”
^^^ Not if you saw them on me!
Ah, but there was a time, Patty…
Ahhhh yes, when any length I wore was hot pants. :-D
@DoctorWhoGuru Wardrobe-wise I would like to see the oversized look return. I’m not a fan of the “tailored” look. And I like the any length skirts are fine. And I liked the acid washed jeans too.
Being courteous and quiet in movie theaters. I saw “A Ghost Story” last week and at least 4 or 5 people behind me acted as though they were in their living room and completely unaware of anyone else in the theater.
All the teenage girls who were exchange students here where I live this past summer wore hot pants, so they are at least back in in France and Spain.
40 year olds who don’t try to dress like a 17 year old.
@SQUEEKY2 What simple low effort hair styles do you suggest? I might just shave most of it off again for $20.
@RedDeerGuy1 You can shave it all off yourself for only the cost of $15 Norelco clippers at Walmart. And you can do it for the life of the clippers, which could be five years or more. That is cheapest and lowest maintenance of all.
Common sense and civility in politicians.
When was that in fashion? Lol. Ceasar wants to know.
LOL It maybe just seems that way given the present circumstances.
People acknowledging a traffic courtesy with a slight wave of the hand or nod of the head. It’s simply rude to ignore someone who’s done a kindness.
Not talking in any kind of theatre. Unfortunately, the VCR ruined this unwritten law; viewers became so accustomed to commenting on movies at home, they brought the habit to public places. Over time, the bad behavior spread to live performances (imagine being an actor on stage and having to hear audience members talk).
Flogging servants with a boat oar
Suits and ties for men, for formal occasions. I don’t wear them any more, my wife always tells me, “Just wear a nice Polo shirt and the jeans I starched for you”. And while I love her for taking the time and effort to make my jeans presentable, I think slacks are more appropriate for, let’s say, going out to a high end eatery, or going to a concert at school for one of my grand kids.
^^^ Mrs. NomoreY_A sounds lovely and caring. I have to admit that I’ve never starched a pair of jeans for Mr. Love_my_doggie (although I’ve starched and ironed a fair number of dress shirts over the years).
My husband starches and irons his jeans. I don’t.
Men wearing hats, and hat tipping. With that passing, so died the word dapper.
I miss dapper.
@Patty_Melt If you want dapper, you can always watch George Clooney in “O, Brother Where Art Thou?”
My dad used to wear hats all the time. My son often does too.
I wear baseball caps, or what we call in Texas, Gimme caps. As in, Gimme one of them caps. My dad used to wear a fedora all the time. And I still touch my finger to my hat, if a woman says hello. I’m corny that way, but it’s to old a habit to break.
Awwwwww, courtsy from here.
Face-to-face interaction, and actually enjoying the moment instead of trying to capture everything with your phone.

@Mimishu1995 actually enjoying the moment instead of trying to capture everything with your phone
Superb answer. A while ago, I took a little girl to the National Zoo. At the panda exhibit, every nearby adult was recording, nonstop, through a cellphone. I couldn’t understand why anyone would watch the pandas through an electronic device when they’re live, and impossibly cute and endearing, less than a meter away. I had an urge to yell “Put down your phones and enjoy what’s right in front of you!,” but of course I didn’t.
