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. (Maybe because we're in a post-COVID world, and the floor might be dirty.) (???) 8. Planking 9. Ringtones 10. Those black plastic bases on two-liter soda bottles.
