Nothing says dated like vertical blinds do. Although you could find them in every home, office, school, mall and basically everywhere else across the country, they were some of the most annoying things on the planet. They were meant to keep the sun out, but somehow the sun slipped through each and every crevice these blinds would have. Plus they had a tendency to fall out with the slightest tug. Thankfully, this is actually one ‘90s trend that most people have stopped using.
