🚨 (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 cannot stand still game. As a scot this appears to be equal to blasphemy when said out loud.

Gancanny · 19/09/2020 21:25

My unpopular but probably not that unpopular opinion is that threads like this should be closed down by HQ

It's not unpopular if other people agree with you Wink

Really though, I agree. It'll descend into the usual racism, classism, disablist claptrap. Theres already been thinly veiled benefit bashing so it won't be long until the more nasty stuff starts.

BathshebaKnickerStickers · 19/09/2020 21:28

Oh, and cats

rslsys · 19/09/2020 21:29

Oh yeah - Peaky Blinders is shite too!

DontDribbleOnTheCarpet · 19/09/2020 21:29

That people should properly finish one relationship before beginning another. Divorce if you want, but make sure you are actually divorced before you start another relationship. Give yourself time to sort out whatever issues and conflict the ending of the relationship carries with it, sort your head out and minimize the potential for later drama. One at a time is good fishing.

Also, rocket is the work of the devil. I grew some this year expecting the promised salady goodness and it was revolting! At first it only tasted of leaf, then there was a hideous aftertaste that took forever to get rid of. See also coriander (although I think this may be a genetic thing and to some people it genuinely doesn't taste of washing powder and sawdust).

Itsnotalwaysme - you Madam/Sir are the reason why people want this thread pulled, how very dare you! Wink

@DumDaDumDum
Yes I also hate marzipan and all almond flavouring- why do they put it in everything?! So glad to find someone else who feels like me about it.

I hate Quentin Tarantino movies.

Doilooklikeatourist · 19/09/2020 21:31

@Afonavon I don't like dogs either , especially when they're wearing bandanas.. why ?
My father used to refer to little yappy dogs on leads as rats on strings
And no , they're not the boys , they're dogs
And ... Gosh , this is making my shoulder feel lighter ... it's not a cockapoo ( cavachon , cavapoo , frug ...) it's a mongrel

The80sweregreat · 19/09/2020 21:33

I like Dogs , but people that treat them as you might a child is just odd.

CountessFrog · 19/09/2020 21:33

Boris is properly hilarious.

MrsCrosbyNRTB · 19/09/2020 21:33

Grey paint / carpets / glass fronted furniture / crushed velvet effect grey sofas and chandeliers look SHITE whether your house is £50K or £5million.

Ed Sheeran’s music is awful (I’m sure he as a person is lovely though)

I hated the Thursday clap (I am a frontline NHS nurse)

White range rovers look dreadful

Acrylic nails / thick microbladed eyebrows / false eyelashes almost invariably look hideous

GoT was unbelievably overrated - basically a teenage boys wank and gore fest

The notion of “Celebrity” is ridiculous and pretty much anaesthetising so many people to what is really going on in this world.

God, I am grumpy today! Sorry. (Not sorry)

Myglorioushairdo · 19/09/2020 21:35

@AnxiousPixie what?! Babies are the cutest thing I've ever laid my eyes on!! Mind you, toddlers with snotty noses aren't. Why don't parents just wipe their kid's noses?! I used to walk after mine with a tissue and mop regularly. Snotty kisses 🤢

Pixxie7 · 19/09/2020 21:35

Princess Diane couldn’t stand her.

Noshowlomo · 19/09/2020 21:36

@MrsCrosbyNRTB yes !! Yes yes !!

CountessFrog · 19/09/2020 21:41

Did you ever know her, Pixie?

And it was ‘Diana.’

Ameanstreakamilewide · 19/09/2020 21:41

@Sunshinelarder

Also hate Nandos with a passion. And coke.
Coca cola 'coke' or Marching Powder 'coke'?
Limeavocado · 19/09/2020 21:44

Televised sport of any type - the World Cup, the Olympics, Wimbledon - is boring as hell.

Agree with PP above - Strictly is torturously boring.

Cyclists shouldn't be allowed on narrow bendy country roads - danger to themselves and drivers trying to get round them.

Men can be attractive...until they put cycling gear on and then they're seriously repellent.

Biscuits should only ever be sold in those packs which are comprised of packs of two (to save me from myself)

Palmiers - particularly fresh ones - are the best ever sweet treat money can buy.

The Nazis came to Australia

@AdultCat

Camping is AWFUL! Every single thing about it.

I don't understand why more people don't follow a vegan diet when there are such an amazing range of alternatives now. Whether it's for health / planet / animal reason.

Men should never have long hair and nails or wear skinny jeans.

Wine is disgusting - no matter what the price, it all tastes the same to me...

Ummm.... I'm sure I'll think of more 🤣

Camping is basically holidaying in conditions you wouldn't tolerate at home.

It's a 4 letter word in this house. 🙅‍♀️

Oh , no, how many times have I bitten into a Danish Pastry thinking it will be full of delicious almond paste.......and it's full of thick, claggy custard Shock

The young ladies (and men) in programmes like TOWIE have not improved theselves with fillers, veneers, implants etc.

There are very few men who cannot be enhanced by the addition of Uniform .

PhylisPrice · 19/09/2020 21:47

McDonald's breakfasts are vile

Will also join the Mrs Brown's Boys is shit club

Alcohol is not nice and I can have a perfectly fun/hilarious night without it

Bananas are the food of the devil

I will return with the 100's others I have just can't bring them to the front of my mond right now 😆

Pixxie7 · 19/09/2020 21:48

CountessFrog@ No but neither did most of the people who think she was some kind of saint.

MintyMabel · 19/09/2020 21:48

That these threads are as dull as ditchwater, rarely hold anything unpopular at all, and never remain lighthearted. Sadly they appear with regular monotony.

feistyoneyouare · 19/09/2020 21:48

Bake-Off is shit.
Food and eating out are vastly overrated.
The Beatles were boring.
