Annoying trends will fade away into obscurity...eventually. There's a thread online where people are talking about cultural things that "quietly went away without anyone noticing." They include:
1. Waterbeds
2. Facebook "poke wars"
3. "When you turned off the TV, how the image would shrink to a dot before slowly fading away"
4. Flash mobs
5. Traveler's checks
6. HQ Trivia
7. "ROFL"...now we just go straight from LOL to LMAO.
8. Planking
9. Ringtones
10. Those black plastic bases on two-liter soda bottles.
