21 Embarrassing Things All British Boys Did In The ’00s

    Admit it, you did at least half of these things.

    1. Overused Lynx in the belief that it actually smelled good.

    2. But felt especially fancy when you upgraded to an adult fragrance with something like Joop! Jump.

    3. Considered Nando’s a fine-dining experience.

    4. Established a playground black market dealing in banned snacks.

    5. Completely soaked your hair in gel.

    6. And really wanted frosted tips, even though deep down you knew that you could never really pull them off.

    7. Wore a backpack over one shoulder because it was the cool thing to do.

    8. And it was probably a skate or surf brand even though you did neither of those things.

    9. Set up an email account with an incredibly cringey address.

    10. And used the "my friend wrote that" excuse on more than one occasion.

    11. Plus all of your profile pictures were probably "banter" filled.

    12. Considered wearing long-sleeve shirts under short-sleeve shirts a good fashion choice.

    13. Drew dicks on literally everything.

    14. And found anything even remotely dirty incredibly funny.

    15. Bought jeans that came with a terrible belt.

    16. Rebelled against your school's uniform policy by wearing your tie really short, your shirt untucked, and your top button undone.

    17. Felt cool by sitting at the back of the bus.

    18. Felt like a scientist by experimenting with Coke and Mentos.

    19. Poked a hole in your jumper sleeve for some unknown reason.

    20. Wasted away your evening by hanging out "in town".

    21. And spent your weekends visiting friends who had Saturday jobs just to annoy them.
