🚨 (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

Gin is revolting.
James Bond films are shit.
Pineapple on pizza is delicious.

@VodselForDinner

I think drag is disgusting and there will be future parallels drawn between it and blackface.
Completely agree with this.
Saggyoldsofa · 19/09/2020 23:24

People's personalities are mostly born, not formed by parental input or brilliant/poor parenting.

More children should be removed permanently from their birth parents.

I dont care if my young ish children swear as long as they dont do it at people.

High exam grades in themselves are probably not vital for life chances and happiness. I know so many very successful, happy people who did crap at school. If you knew my job this statement would make you laugh.

Tom Hardy is not sexy or good looking in my opinion.

GuyFawkesDay · 19/09/2020 23:31

Idris Elba is a very average actor.
Tom Hardy isn't all that (& he's short!)
Thick carpets with vacuum marks look awful
X factor and BGT and all similar shows need binning.

that if people want to get a qualification or pursue a course of study they should do so at the nearest institution that offers the course, and not waste time and money behaving badly in another city, while their parents have to subsidise their rent to money-grubbing landlords for grubby lodgings.

marmitecake · 19/09/2020 23:35

Strictly is dull beyond belief and no idea why people love it.
Salted caramel flavoured products. Just why?
Marmite haters are unreasonable and need to get a life.
The Royal Family are worth every penny.

Sciencebabe · 19/09/2020 23:36

Ooh God, so many...
Pigs/piglets disgust me.
Dogs licking their dicks disgusts me.
Schools that have a fucking online app and post 5 things a day - just fuck off and tell me the important shit via newsletter.

And the Biggie...
Pregnant people STILL fucking complaining that they can't take their partner to a scan or hospital - it's not new news, fucking get over it and buy a private scan if you really want him there 😳 -this is mostly because I am one of the said pregnant people and my husband is in the army. Me and thousands of others spend our pregnancies and sometimes births alone (even without a pandemic 😱) its something you have to just fucking deal with.

AntiHop · 19/09/2020 23:37

All alcohol tastes disgusting. Especially wine.

Brockwell · 19/09/2020 23:38

Most daytime telly is shit.
Mustard is the work of a vengeful god.
Deadpool saved Ryan Reynolds' career.
There is no such thing as non-binary.
Sadiq Khan is not a nice man and treats London as his personal fiefdom.
We are overreacting on this Covid 19 business.
Anne With an E was great telly.

That the Bible was the greatest story ever told. There is no god and that any religion is the highest form of brain washing there will ever be. Comforting for many I understand, offering a sense of belonging tapping into our primitive side providing a sense of community which is incredibly important.

Parents who buy their child A Pet are legally and morally responsible for it . Your child cannot by Law buy a pet .

When your child gets bored by it , cannot be bothered feeding , cleaning, cuddling, socialising , the adult has to MAN THE FUCK UP and take over for the rest of the life of the pet .

Unless - there are health harming allergies your pet should not be appearing on Gumtree with a "Kids got bored" / "Kids have outgrown" / "I bought this for my daughter but they've lost interest"

No - you don't buy a pet for your child they are bought for the family .

Even with allergies my DD was allergic to our 3rd and 6th guinea-pig. I offered to have them ( in exchange for one of mine) but she refused and managed the allergy , Bless her

Every mother should attempt to breastfeed

ContessaDiPulpo · 20/09/2020 00:03

Mrs Brown's Boys is indeed shit, and so is Miranda.

Highly gendered clothing for baby girls (bows, headbands etc) is beyond naff and I think slightly less of people who actively chose to buy them. Conversely, I see no issue with earrings on children as everyone had them done aged 2 or so where I grew up.

I hate intellectual laziness. Anyone who can look at the world and not think 'Christ this place is bizarre and wonderful and I love its variety' is someone I will probably not get on with. I can do mundane as well, don't get me wrong, but anyone who shows no interest in things beyond their immediate sphere at all, ever, is a mystery to me.

I think people worry way too much about the impact of very minor things on their children. It makes me slightly angry when I mentally contrast 'Harry in the UK will be distraught if he doesn't get pudding' and 'Alia in Syria is a bit teary today because her apartment was destroyed and 2 siblings killed in a bomb blast'. I mean, sense of proportion (although Douglas Adams did tell us those are dangerous tbf).

Neuronurse · 20/09/2020 00:05

Gender - some days I fell all serene and motherly, some does I feel (and look) like a wrestler. Those wrestler days doesn't mean I want to be a man.

Way to make label-ism. Every one wants to be 'something'.

Just chill out and do your thing. I don't care if you're born female and now want to be called Colin because you like the feel of men's slacks against your legs. That's nothing special. I only wore men's shirts in 1996 because I thought that was edgy.

Everyone, at some point has been attracted to someone of the same sex. Doesn't make you bi.

Strictly - why? Most of the population could be taught to dance. No need to use license payers money to pay z listers to do a tango. Be much better if they picked a Maureen from the working men's club in Hull to ditch the slacks and per una tops and swap to a shimmery number to do the cha cha with Anton.

You don't always have to LTB. Sometimes circumstances conspire and someone has a shoot day. Doesn't mean they are actually and abusing narc.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 20/09/2020 00:15

Anyone who uses the phrases Child Porn or even worse Kiddie Porn should be taken out the back and thrashed until their arse bleeds out of their eyes .
The use of such phrases shows such a gross misunderstanding of this vile crime .

LabiaMinoraPissusFlapus · 20/09/2020 00:19

Babies have the right to be breastfed. Women are mothers, not men. Babies and young children should be with their mums most of the time.

hagsrus0 · 20/09/2020 00:19

Coconut
Mint
Coffee
Marzipan

nildesparandum · 20/09/2020 00:31

@Sciencebabe

I agree with you about the pregnancy scans.It is not the end of the world.The most important thing is a healthy baby.

An unpopular opinion that I like is the Meghan and Harry situation.It is their lives if they want out and be free of the fuss and adoration leave them alone.

trixiebelden77 · 20/09/2020 00:42

Feminism is nonsense......HAHAHAHAHHAHA who in earth could imagine that’s a controversial opinion?

‘Here’s an opinion regularly trotted out in the pages of all the most low-rent and widely-available media sources, goodness isn’t it shocking? I’m such a controversial free-thinker!’

Spudina · 20/09/2020 00:57

I hate the word “triggering.” Sometimes stuff reminds you of other stuff, which can be difficult. It doesn’t need its own word.
Gamers are not all feckless lazy bastards.
Playing with children is usually boring and repetitive.

RubyAberdeen · 20/09/2020 01:03

Posters who moan and complain about being offended by these threads should stay the fuck off them and leave the rest of us to them.

QuestionableMouse · 20/09/2020 01:12

Eyelashes are rubbish. Every time I've had something in my eye lately it's been a bloody eyelash. They have one job!

GarlicSoup · 20/09/2020 01:15

Boris Johnson is sex on legs.
All singing competition shows should be banned, can’t bear them.
East Enders is the worst TV programme ever.
Baked beans are just mushy grimness.
Dunking biscuits in tea should be made illegal.
