🚨 (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

I hate dolphins. They are pretentious, irritating, smug pricks.

MrMeeseekscando · 20/09/2020 22:40

I think the Karen memes are funny and stereotypes exist for a reason.
(Worked in retail for 10 years. It destroyed my faith in humanity, I met hundreds of Karens)

I grow my own ganja and smoke it ... every few weeks, I wouldn’t class myself as a stoner

I don't 'get' steak.

This has tickled me.

I don’t like coffee, wine or cheese.

Oh I think pandas are the most irritating animal we are supposed to love.

babyinthacorner · 20/09/2020 22:55

Most of the Star Wars films are complete and utter shite. It’s the same story regurgitated over and over and Mark Hamill is the worst actor I’ve ever seen.

@PinkLegoBrick

I'm not talking about white middle class young people just being alright Jack

I'm talking about a child's basic right to education. About the poor souls who were stuck at home in shitty situations getting no education whatsoever. When I'm old, like hell I'd want that situation just to protect me. I'll shield myself if necessary, make risk assessments etc but don't fuck up a whole generation of young people.

There is so much inconsistency and bollocks with the guidelines.

OhToBeASeahorse · 20/09/2020 23:05

Ok here goes...!

  1. I don't understand why the rampant nationalism portrayed by the SNP is seen as a good thing.
  1. Sex is unchangeable.
  1. Anxiety is used as a medical term when most of the time people actually just mean nervous. Real anxiety is a whole other level.
  1. Formula fed, breast fed - makes no odds to me how other people feed their babies.But dont say there is no nutritional difference. There is.
  1. I think the terms we give for murderers and rapists are far too lenient and I dont understand how some get off with manslaughter for truly horrible crimes - Alfie Lamb is a case in point.
MrsPatrickDempsey · 20/09/2020 23:07

I think that people who slag off Chris Whitty and Patrick Vallance are ignorant and selfish just because they don't like what they are saying.
They disrespect their knowledge, expertise and experience.

Applepieandcustardandicecrem · 20/09/2020 23:15

@ItchyScratch i agree with you totally on your unpopular opinions. I too can't see the big deal with prosecco or wine for that matter and the associated humour that goes with it such as 'wine o clock' ,silly sayings!!
Mrs Brown's Boys is shit.
Jamie Oliver's big lips and lisp really irritate me.
James Corden irritates me no end.
Ed Sheeran is massively overrated.
Billie Eilish is crap and looks like she needs a good shower.

People who don't bath their kids regularly and dress them in fresh clothes each day make me boak . Poor personal hygiene on anyone is totally unacceptable for that matter.
Holly Willoughby is vacuous and smug

I'll think of more !

FunTimes2020 · 20/09/2020 23:15

Sam Smith is a man

Applepieandcustardandicecrem · 20/09/2020 23:16

@MrsPatrickDempsey agree!!

Why DO grown men lisp??? so irritating. Jonathan Ross used to do my head in due to that.

Holly willoughby. Just another overrated boring celebrity presenter.

If someone is triggered by something, rather than avoiding the trigger or getting upset or offended by it, they should have therapy/medication to deal with the issue so that they can go about the world without worrying about being triggered.

(I had a terrible phobia coupled with crippling anxiety and spent my life avoiding ‘triggers’. Until I had therapy and hypnotherapy and now I can go anywhere and do anything and not feel like a victim.)

megletthesecond · 20/09/2020 23:19

Anyone caught driving and using their mobile phone (voice or text) should have a lifetime ban.

Correctio n. They are RAPEY pretentious, irritating, smug pricks.

Sea otters are cute but also rapey. Ducks are rapey too and have amazing corkscrew penises

I hear you. I am in trauma therapy and have been learning that only I am responsible for my triggers. I cannot expect others to censor themselves around me.
RUOKHon · 20/09/2020 23:24

@Mcarthurpark yes, exactly. Take the power back.

Applepieandcustardandicecrem · 20/09/2020 23:31

I can't stand Harry Potter !!!

Biscuits are horrible
Any kind of chocolate pudding is yuck
Tea is meh

Vargas · 20/09/2020 23:46

Dogs and horses are not musical and should never ever be trained to 'dance'. Cringe.

Drag is offensive to women.

Some people are too stupid to be allowed to vote. Or have children. Or own pets.

Sam Smith is totally a man

Thisismytimetoshine · 20/09/2020 23:53

Even Sam Smith knows this.
