🚨 (Light hearted thread alert)

I HATE prosecco- it’s horrible- it’s tastes like fizzy piss. (No i’ve never tasted urine before but this is how I imagine it would taste)

I also hate crisps. They are the opposite of cake- mmm cake.

Mrs Browns Boys is not funny whatsoever. I tried to watch a few episodes but my eyes started bleeding.

I hate watching people dancing. It’s boring. I do not understand why Strictly is so popular.

Please tell me your unpopular opinions? Grin

Crowdfunding appeals to repatriate those who have broken both their legs in a tragic waterpark accident. Buy bloody travel insurance like the rest of us

Professional football has become ridiculous.

I will only allow amateur sport when I rule the world.Wink

THisbackwithavengeance · 20/09/2020 11:01

I like Boris Johnson. I've met him and he's funny and charismatic.

I think some people claiming to be 'anxious' and hence can't wear a mask are full of bullshit.

I think a significant percentage of people who use food banks are taking the piss.

A lot of people who want a full and prolonged lockdown and describe anyone who wants the economy to continue working as a 'covidiot' are either reliant on benefits or in v safe jobs so not pesonally affected if the economy goes belly up.

Dogs are unequivocally cuter than babies. In fact babies are not cute at all

People who don’t like dogs have no soul

4x4s are great, comfortable and practical. However, you look silly if you have one and live in a city or the burbs

Parents who take their (often feral) kids to the pub. Bugger off to soft play

There are some bitter and angry women who post on MN but I feel sorry for them in the main, they must have shit lives to be so consistently unpleasant. I can always recognise these types on the train.They ooze simmering rage.

@FippertyGibbett

I despise duvet covers with buttons on. WTF - poppers every time, down with your ‘buttons show a quality product’. Life’s too short for buttons !!
I agree! I only buy Asda bedding now as their duvet covers have poppers.

GP's: Massively over rated, do bare minimum, complain endlessly about everything - and rarely is a 'good' one to be found.

And as for the GP retreat during C19. Invisible shirkers with license to do little.

rainbowstardrops · 20/09/2020 11:12

The Simpsons. Can't bloody stand it.

MegaClutterSlut · 20/09/2020 11:14

Don't get what the big deal is about the royal family, really couldn't give a shit about them

Can't stand wine or prosecco

MegaClutterSlut · 20/09/2020 11:17

Also parents who described their kids as 'spirited'. Just means little shit to me imo Grin

Malin52 · 20/09/2020 11:18

I don't think children should be allowed in pubs
I think there should be designated adults only planes or sections

VainAbigail · 20/09/2020 11:18

Hate the word “lighthearted”. It’s vomit inducing.

Boris Johnson seems like an alright bloke, if you were to sit and have a chat with him Matt Hancock on the other hand is starting to grate on me

0blio · 20/09/2020 11:26

I loved being a SAHM and see nothing wrong with traditional roles for a couple if that suits them, they can afford it and they're both happy with it.

I hate colleagues bring babies into work and no, I don't want to hold them as I don't want to smell of sick all afternoon.

I like Mrs Brown's Boys but strangely I hate drag Confused

I hate to see primary school aged boys with long hair, I judge the parents

I wash bath towels after one use

Ginorwine30 · 20/09/2020 11:27

Lockdown was a waste of time, given that the vast majority of Covid patients survive. We all have to die of something

ShutTheFuckUp123 · 20/09/2020 11:33

Children shouldn't be allowed in pubs ,EVER, if I'm in a pub and feel like swearing I shouldn't have to look out in case there are kids around. I refuse to feel ashamed because I am a prepper (I lived in the arse end of Canada ,off grid for 6 years) so don't think you have the right to criticise me for being prepared. I also gave a lot of my store cupboard to my local food bank throughout lockdown and helped many of my ungrateful neighbours who didn't appreciate it. New builds should be built with more imagination, they don't have to look identical. People with dogs should be made to take training classes and so should parents 😁 The human species cannot change sex. The word transphobia was invented to scare people into silence. If I see a man in a sex segregated space I give them hell, I will not be silenced by pervy males who have found a way to get into female spaces. Males with disphoria you have my sympathy but you are not welcome in female spaces.

Craddle64 · 20/09/2020 11:35

I think some clothes do look slutty. Doesn't justify rape but don't be surprised or offended at being gawped at, cat called and harassed if you dress in skimpy outfits like hot pants, tits all out or very tight.

@Harrykanesrightsock

Lewis Capaldi is very overrated. Gravy ruins a Sunday Roast Biscuits aren’t nice
Omg. Gravy. Ruins. A. Sunday. Roast.

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

ShutTheFuckUp123 · 20/09/2020 11:38

Claricethecat45 except my GP who I saw when I had an inner ear infection, said after looking at my notes "You were last here 10 years ago, you are amazing, well done, if only more people were like you". I didn't have the heart to tell her that I don't trust doctors 😂

Henlie · 20/09/2020 11:41

I really don’t like tattoos, and especially on women. I think they look cheap and naff.

Over scheduling young DC with after school activities! When did this become a thing? Parents stressing out that their DC will miss out if they’re not doing everything!! No one comes out of this a winner. Parents are run ragged driving them everywhere and DC are over tired at the end of the week.....

Jojobythesea · 20/09/2020 11:41

@MrMeeseekscando

I hate children performing. Songs, plays, dance routines... It's shit They are shit I hate pretending it's amazing
🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
ssd · 20/09/2020 12:01

Here's a few things I don't like on mn

The AD threads, a bunch of people pretending they are revolutionary because they don't like masks

The 'change the letter in the dogs name in the thread above you' bollocks

The arguments about men in women's spaces, I don't know what that means, like women's loo's etc? How often does that really happen??

Anything with terf or cis or non binary in it, again don't know what they mean and if you try and find out you get ignored

Any thread where the woman seems to have lost her voice and can't say no to the most stupid situation

Braggers. How can we live on 100k and have no money?!? Piss off.

There's probably loads more

ssd · 20/09/2020 12:04

The how old am I threads?!?

"the women in the corner shop said I looked 42 but I'm 41 so I'll post on MN to see if anyone says I look younger.. Get a life

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 20/09/2020 12:05

Tom hardy is decidedly average.

LoisWilkersonslastnerve · 20/09/2020 12:11

I don't like dogs. Or any animals really. This horrifies my DH, I don't like him much either Grin

Coldemort · 20/09/2020 12:11

@ShutTheFuckUp123 I once had a thread on here where I was told off for waking a baby who was sleeping in the pub by talking too loudly.
Mumsnet told me that I was clearly an inconsiderate screechy witch.

wizzywig · 20/09/2020 12:13

That really occasionally i am thinking about what itd be like to have sex with a male colleague
