That means the cast of Jersey Shore, Perez Hilton, and the Kardashians didn&#8217;t pop out of their mamas&#8217; wombs wrong. To the contrary, they all had to learn how to be as trashy as a Louisiana landfill. Now trashy people have always been around, but the difference is that in our “any attention is good attention,&#8221; 15-minutes-of-fame society, a lot of people consider &#8220;trashy&#8221; to be an asset if it gets more people looking in their direction. Having every eye in the room on you isn&#8217;t worth it if the word &#8220;trash&#8221; is going through every head at the same time. The good news is that it&#8217;s easy to avoid the sort of behavior that gets you labeled as trash.]]>Fri, 18 May 2012 13:10:41 -0400<![CDATA[John Hawkins]]>https://pjmedia.com/john-hawkins/2012/05/18/5-behaviors-that-make-you-trash-n140183
