You Know You're Tacky When...
If you're reading this hub, then chances are you might be question whether you're tacky or not. Being from the great city of Pittsburgh, I've seen my share of tacky, and I can definitely identify even the most minuet amounts of tackiness. So if you want to know if you or your friend is tacky, then please feel free to check out this hub!
1. Yard Gnomes
I hate gnomes. I don't like when they roam, or when they're made of foam or are holding a comb. Gnomes are tacky, and if you've stategically positioned one in your front yard, then there is a good possibility that you're tacky,
2. Birds of a Feather
Here in the beautiful state of PA, we don't have parrots flying around in our tropical rainforest or flamingos basking in the sun near the Caribean Sea. Therefore, you would think people would refrain from situating these birds in their lawn. Truly, the only outdoor flamingos and parrots should be at the zoo!
3. Funeral Attire
A funeral is a time to show your respect; not a time to showcase your belly, your booty or your boobies. If you would wear it to the bar, and you wear it to a funeral, then you just might be tacky.
4. Too Much
Here in PA, some people find the need to add as many lawn ornaments in their lawn as possible. Maybe they think by showcasing so much, people will think they have money, or maybe they genuinely believe that it looks nice. No matter the reason, they're should be a limit to the number of decorative items in your lawn.
5. Too Many Flags
Unless your home is the Washington Monument or the U.N. Building, you don't need one flag after another flag. In fact, one flag will suffice. I can even see two, but anymore than that is just tacky!
Stand tuned for more tacky on part two!
