It’s no secret that nowadays people consume a lot of things at a very fast pace – a phenomenon that’s called overconsumption. Sadly, likely nobody is guilt-free of this sin . Sometimes we even participate in it without realizing it.
If you partook in any of the trends you will find in this list, people online will likely deem you an overconsumer. Did we pique your interest? Are you eager to check out if you’ve done any of these? We hope you are, and we’ll be expecting you to confess if you did! So, without further ado, let’s dive in!

Buying 42 Stanley cups in different colors like hydration’s a fashion show.

The freaking disposable vapes!! Not only are people throwing away the vapes, but there are literal batteries in there that they also toss. It’s madness! The least they could do is keep them in a drawer and tell themselves they’ll go recycle them. They don’t even pretend to care anymore.

We cheer people who have hundreds of billions of dollars they will never spend while a third of the country starves unhoused.

Temu is really just c**p that no one needs.

Empty houses. F**k the rich.

I don’t like the videos where people do s**t like “we’re making crazy nachos” and they pour like 80 lbs of food on the table for about 4 people and you know it all goes in the trash.

Ragebait “cooking” channels. “So today I’m gonna be showing you a simple meal hack to make for your kiddos and hubby! Ok so first you’re gonna wanna take a 5lb block of cheddar cheese and wrap it in bacon…” We know it it all gets thrown out at the end and they know that we know, and that’s why they keep doing it.

Those “aesthetic” influencer videos where they have a million little samples of products and a bunch of disposable c**p. Restocking the guest bathroom with a bunch of disposable tiny face sponges, mini hotel-sized samples of products, dozens of tiny highlighters, etc. Just get a normal sized bottle of product and some reusable cloth face wipes. .

I’ve always been skeptical that the “extreme couponers” actually use the volume of goods they buy.

Blind boxes. I am so sick of everything being a “mystery”. If I want whatever toy, or key ring or pin just LET ME BUY IT. .
Fair-Stranger1860 , Jason Leung Report
“Hauls” or “collections” of the same article of clothing. A lot of young women are very wrapped up in this b******t right now and it’s all because of social media and influencers. I can’t wait for influencer culture to be over.

Moms setting up their kids’ dorm rooms is really getting to me lately.

Custom shirts for every occasion. A family trip to Disney is no longer complete unless all 12 members have personalized shirts with the year on them that they will never wear again and that will get donated to a thrift store where no one will buy them and they’ll ultimately end up in a landfill. I also have a hatred for companies that put years on clothes when it’s wholly unnecessary. (I’m looking at you, Old Navy and The Children’s Place.)

90% of kids toys. All plastic c**p that they play with once and it either breaks or the child moves on to the next thing.
tMoneyMoney , Polesie Toys Report
I used to be in a Bath and Body Works group on Facebook that was absolutely crazy. A lot of the women in that group had “candle rooms” with hundreds or thousands of B&BW candles. Often like 10 of the same scent, just stacked up.

Funko pops. They’re ugly and most of the time don’t even look like the characters they’re portraying. The differences between them are so subtle, you can’t even tell what you’re looking at without the box/label. Is that Ron Swanson, Burt Reynolds, Pedro Pascal, or Freddie Mercury?

Purses. I get hav8ng a few different colors fpr people who go out a lot, but people go nuts over them and pay $1000’s of dollars for what is basically a bag with pockets. I would only pay that much for a bag of holding?

Decantering items that already are in a container. Like a gallon of milk decanted into a glass bottle for the looks. What a waste.
Livelaughlumpia , LGQUEEN Home Decor Report
People who waste money on lottery tickets. One or two tickets isn’t so bad, but when you spend all your money one something just to lose!
