- fancypantscz, on 10/10/2007, -20/+118the only toolbags out there are the ones who actually think about changing their style because of this blog
never conform simply to please someone else
be yourself
and people will like you for who you actually are - Monolith4, on 10/10/2007, -8/+94They forgot the popped collar. God, i hate people who pop their collars. It's like you've had an evolutionary regression into a peacock.
- shinedout, on 10/10/2007, -3/+72I don't take part in any of these, but daaaaamn I can think of some way worse tool bag styles...
1. Corporate pony tail guy
2. Underwear / and or ass, hanging out of your way too baggy pants (please... nobody cares about your underwear)
3. Burkenstocks and socks ( I love the band, but Phish is no more. )
4. Chest shaved hair line - (if your going to shave the area where chest meets neck, cover the area where you stopped shaving)
...to name a few - craprock, on 10/10/2007, -4/+52And don't forget those damn "bug-eye' sunglasses. They just show your willingness to follow celebrities, who in my opinion are mostly people who don't deserve to be followed.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+52the creator of this list is a total toolbag
- Khook20, on 10/10/2007, -6/+52They also forgot wearing sunglasses backwards on your head. I know, I can't believe I've seen people walking around wearing them that way either.
- ZephyrNinety, on 10/10/2007, -0/+45If you don't turn your hat backwards, how are you supposed to initiate a Pokemon battle? Honestly. Think.
- Dauragon88, on 10/10/2007, -1/+37Funny thing is, no matter what we wear now, in thirty years we will all look like toolbags to our kids.
- Rethcir, on 10/10/2007, -2/+32Yeah, you can be unique, just like everybody else!
- snarkleclackers, on 10/10/2007, -2/+27The true purpose of the bug-eye sunglasses is so the girl can get really white teeth, and have the appearance of being pretty, while the glasses hide the rest of her ugly face.
- gharding, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26So uh.. what are you if you wear socks with Crocs?

Note the presidential seal! - Error601, on 10/10/2007, -6/+29Lame. The guy who wrote this probably wears socks with his sandals.
- Anrkist, on 10/10/2007, -10/+33Did you see the Crocs?!?! I'm "hating" as I imagine you would say. As for the backwards cap... we did it to death in the early 90's, find something new kid.
#3. LOBOT! - WarpFox, on 10/10/2007, -5/+27Protip: the opinions of nerds on the internet, who are hating on your backwards cap wearing a white t shirt with a mustard stain, probably should not be considered highly when making decisions about how you dress.
- MaynardJK, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22It is the people that wear the bluetooth headsets when they aren't using the phone that he is talking about. I hate those people too.
- Sparkster185, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20Basically anything purchased at Abercrombie & Fitch or Hollister then.
- antifreze, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Specifically the guy walking with his girlfriend/wife in a grocery store wearing a bluetooth headset, because he might get an ABSOLUTE EMERGENT call from his friend saying "oh my god this youtube video was hilarious - I'm sending it to you in your email"
- joel2600, on 10/10/2007, -10/+28hmm, i have a rather large pda phone that i use for work. it may be bulky but it has a slide out keyboard that makes for quick and easy typing, and with windows mobile i can vpn into any of my clients sites and even remote desktop to their servers in a pinch. yes, it sucks to do that on your phone, but if it's the only option it's better than nothing.
the biggest downside to the phone is the size and weight. so, if i'm not supposed to clip the thing to my belt, i'm supposed to what? keep it in my pocket? not only does it look like i'm smuggling a couple packages of poptarts, but it weighs my pants down.
furthermore, as far as bluetooth headsets are concerned, it's people making jackasses of themselves on the headsets in public that's the problem, not the headset itself, and surely not the fact that it's bluetooth. on a side note, if you have any sort of radiation detector you can find out very quickly that the harmful radiation from your phone that you would think headsets would help avoid isn't the case at all. the radiation somehow travels the length of the cord all the way to the headset. (someone demonstrated this to me once, so all i'm basing that on is observation). so presumably bluetooth headsets are safer than wired headsets.
also, i'll continue to wear my baseball hat backwards once in awhile, because sometimes it just plain looks better that way.
did anyone else notice the ***** tatoo on the guys leg. that one would have been a more appropriate entry in the list. - ZephyrNinety, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16On another note, Crocs are really bad.
- mphree, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16I'll totally agree with the "cause" wristband.
However, I wear one for http://iloveuguys.org because she was a friend of mine. - sundancekid503, on 10/10/2007, -10/+23No one is saying there aren't a few good reasons for wearing your giant PDA on your belt, or keeping a bluetooth in your ear permanently. It just makes you look like a toolbag - FACT.
- cusoman, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1910 ways to look like a Digger, maybe?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13What about the giant belt buckle on the top of the page? Shouldn't that be on the list?

Original. - Rethcir, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13All very valid, but they forgot about the ultimate sign of douchebaggery, the popped collar, Even worse, the double popped collar.. absolutely *****. For chicks, include the "pomp" hair style.
- TheCaterpillar, on 10/10/2007, -9/+19Pink shirts. Popped Collars. Wearing two polo shirts, even worse with popped collars. Diamond Earrings. Sweatband on the Forearm. Wearing any clothes that are bought with "stylish" holes, wear spots and ***** like that.
- kapsar, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11The only way underwear/ass hanging out is acceptable, is if it's a hot girl wearing a thong.
- NCSUspoon, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13Just for the record, Lando's bald robot buddy's name was 'Lobot'. Look it up.
- patientXero, on 10/10/2007, -15/+24Yeah, other toolbags will be glad to hang out with you.
- PecanHead, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Most of those were stupid, but I had to digg it for #10.
#10 Crocs
Here's a good rule to live by: Never wear the same shoes as your 5-year-old nephew. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9I love me a tootbag... been high for days.
- lordtyros, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Crocs make you look like a tit.
- lmarshall8675, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9And yet (as shown in the last picture) the author thinks ankle tattoos on men are ok.
- hierophantus, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11Even a nerd with a mustard stain knows backwards caps belong back in 1994.
- webagogue, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9In matters of principle, stand like a rock; in matters of taste, swim with the current. -- Thomas Jefferson
- chalkboy, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10I want to reach out and rip off their ears when I see some one that keeps those damn things in. If you want to have one keep it in the freaking car. You look like a stinking wanna be geek wearing one all the time. You don't need it to talk on the phone all the time. Hold the damn phone to you ear. Dont talk in a damn store either I dont want to hear it. I HATE CELL PHONES they have created a generation that thinks it is okay to talk on the damn phone all the time. I hope they all die of cancer.
Rant over - dannyapplesauce, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Buried because they don't include popped collar. That defines TOOL
- schoate09, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10http://duggmirror.com/offbeat_news/Top_10_Ways_to_Look_Like_a_Total_Toolbag_2
- NCSUspoon, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8A worse one than underwear hanging out is the gym shorts under pants, over underwear. Honestly! has sagging become so far down your ass that you must wear a pair of shorts under them to be in decent society. And why does everyone who do this wear a belt? It's not a fashion statement, it is a utility! Use it!
- TheCaterpillar, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8Wearing a sweatband on your wrist for sports is completely justifiable. But if I see you at a party wearing a sweatband on your forearm, ie just below your elbow makes you look like a douche. Wearing worn out clothes is OK if you actually wear them out. A person wearing clothes that are bought pre-worn out is, by definition, a poseur, "These worn out jeans makes it look like I do dangerous manly activities, but in reality I'm way more into getting manicures and shopping for moisturizers." Diamond earrings are far too close to being "Bling" for me. Earrings or nose rings or lip rings or whatever are fine, but wearing "Ice" is silly unless you are a gangsta rapper.
- Rustbelt, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6The Bluetooth headsets have to go or people need to learn how to use them in public without looking like a lunatic who's talking to themselves. Walking across a parking lot and hearing someone talking to themselves loudly is not a comforting feeling. Also, I'm tired of people expecting privacy for their calls when they are in public and speaking loudly into thin air so their tiny mic can pick up their voice. Total tools.
- TheCaterpillar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Bingo!
- Lister169, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6The worst is the upside down visor turned to the side. The "I'm a little teapot" look.
- abish, on 10/10/2007, -3/+8This should have been on the list at #1.
- theShiba, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Sounds like you need a man purse.
- ZachRetox, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Having your bb on a belt clip is CONVENIENT for most people's jobs. Just don't wear it out when you're out on the town.
- duality, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Somebody at Digg really needs to fix this problem where the line breaks are stripped from all comments below the top level!
- thesauce, on 10/10/2007, -1/+52. You're now just one-degree removed from Lando Calrissian's bald android assistant.
I'm leaving immediately to buy one. - mikesbaker, on 10/10/2007, -5/+9its not down I just looked at it
- koonchu, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8The man was wearing all those douche-y things AT THE SAME TIME and didn't explode??? PHOTOSHOP'd! No digg!
