21 hipster crimes that absolutely deserve to be punished

They've gone too far.

1. Mini beef wellingtons served on BARBED WIRE:

Is this one a beef wellington or someone else’s skewered finger? Who knows, but it’s all part of the fun!

 

2. A watch that doesn’t tell the time:

Coming soon: Shoes without soles and condoms which don’t stop you catching gonorrhea.

 

3. Gin served inside a hollowed-out cucumber:

Because there’s no way you’ll feel like a dickhead drinking out of a cucumber. None at all.

 

4. Two raspberries on a big rock:

“Could we fit more raspberries on here, Tarquin?”
“Hmm, might be risky, best just leave it at two.”

 

5. Curry served exactly as it will look a few hours later:

Why not save yourself some time and not bother eating it in the first place!

 

6. A seat which is just a tree stump, not varnished or anything, and costs $98:

Because $98 is much edgier than $99. And you know what else is edgy? Arse splinters.

 

7. Winter berry and prosecco-flavoured crisps, with LITTLE GOLD STARS ON THEM:

Come on, none of these things belong anywhere near a crisp, do they?

 

8. A Sunday roast served on a high chair:

Seriously, what the fuck?

 

9. Deconstructed coffee, which comes in three separate chemistry lab beakers:

Here’s an experiment, how about you take this back and then serve me a normal coffee in a normal mug?

 

10. A “whisker dam” to stop you getting craft ale in your moustache:

Nope.

 

11. A cottage pie served on top of an empty San Pellegrino can, like some sort of meat ice cream:

Half for you, half for the pavement!

 

12. Wine served in BABY’S BOTTLES:

Is this a fetish thing? I bet this is a fetish thing.

 

13. Unnecessary bicycles:

Notice the TWO Go-Pros this guys is wearing. We have to assume he’s still riding around on this bike today since there doesn’t seem to be a way to get off.

 

14. A beer keg urinal, which just looks ready-made for splash back.

Which bit do you even piss in?

 

15. Orange juice so freshly-squeezed that it hasn’t even been squeezed yet:

You just know this costs about £4.50. You know it.

 

16. A sink made out of an oven, for some reason:

You know how some stuff that’s ridiculously hipster actually looks kind of cool? Yeah, this isn’t that.

 

17. Organic vegan genderless gingerbread figures:

They’ve tried so hard not to offend anyone, and yet not realised that charging $2.50 for a gingerbread “figure” is offending EVERYONE.

 

18. A public typing station, with typewriters, obviously:

For when you’re out and about, but suddenly realise you forgot to send that really important letter to your friend in 1884.

 

19. Chicken croquettes in a shoe:

You know where you can shove that shoe? Right up your… yeah, you get the picture.

 

20. Random crap stuck into beards:

“Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, why are you such a wanker?”

 

21. Jelly served on a sanitary towel:

I want to die.
