Please, can we put a stop to knotted curtains?!?!?

Looks stupid.

Make it stop.

Knot a good look at all.

Pointless.

They think this looks good?

This horrible trend is spreading across the country. Now in Trenton, New Jersey.

And now in Farmington, New Mexico.

Spring training is almost done. Major league baseball’s official season will start soon. Better have your baseball caps ready to wear!!
Better yet, put your baseball caps on display and add special lighting to them!!! [Mesa, Arizona]

Your baseball caps are precious, so place them up high where no one can reach or steal them!! [Phoenix]

Rank them in order of their standings as the season progresses! Stand firm in case your wife disapproves, as seen on the left side of the photo. [Surprise, Arizona]

There is no maximum number of baseball caps you can own and display! Keep collecting! [Trenton, New Jersey]

We dream of baseball caps being removed from all real estate photos.

Close-up view of several baseball caps.

Five on the wall and three on the shelf.

Oh, great. Two of our pet peeves: hats and knotted curtains. [Camden, New Jersey]

It starts with only a few and then multiplies.

Amateur home design with window coverings is getting out of control. Drapes on top of drapes on top of drapes. And then an extra pink curtain on top for dramatic effect.

Same Surprise, Arizona home as above. More drapes on top of drapes in the master bedroom. If this is a design trend, make it stop.

Oh, no. More drapes on top of window blinds in an Apache Junction, Arizona home.

Oh, come on! More??!!?! [Mesa, Arizona]

Thumbtacking a towel over a window in another Mesa home.

Why even bother putting up the drapes? [another Mesa home]

At a loss for words with this one. [Avondale, Arizona]

Ugh. This trend of tying curtains in knots still shows up in real estate listings. Make it stop.
Believe it or not, the knotted curtains look better than the ugly sponge paint and plastic flowers.

Dumb.

Ugly from both angles.

Why? [Thank you, Mahler, for noticing the baby on the couch. She covered her face in embarrassment.]

“Why knot?,” they reply. Same room; different angle.

It’s spread to Gilbert, Arizona.

And now it’s showing up in Ulysses, Kansas.

The trend of hanging baby name letters on ribbons continues. Hopefully it stops in 2013.
This room seems perfectly safe for a baby to wander around.

Sebhly?

Mom loves the New Girl TV show.
