🚨 (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

Why should they? People have a right to robustly challenge derogatory or hateful comments dressed up as "opinion". The phrase "well that's my opinion and if you're offended then don't read it" is the weak justification employed by those who know that what they're saying is repulsive and that they'd likely end up getting shouted at and/or thumped if they expressed that opinion in RL.

RubyAberdeen · 20/09/2020 01:26

Because the point of threads like this is to express unpopular opinions. I mean clearly you know there might be certain opinions you don’t agree with - it’s fine for people to disagree. If you want to challenge them then whatever but to get them to close the thread is too much.

Gancanny · 20/09/2020 01:30

And at what point does opinion cross into bigotry/racism/ableism? Because that's the direction these threads always end up taking which is why they usually end up deleted.

ET the film, is crap.

Ant and Dec. Think they are over rated and everywhere and why do they need to do adverts?

Boys and girls on average are naturally drawn towards different kinds of toys or different ways of playing. It's not all socialisation, though that certainly helps.

@Sciencebabe

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.

Gender neutral language fail!

'Pregnant people' are always either girls or women. Their partners, on the other hand, are not always male.

Mary Berry needs to be pensioned off now, she is everywhere on TV these days, and one gets fed up with seeing her.

Men with short fat little legs in skinny jeans

Unless you look like Mick Jagger, don't wear skinny jeans

Staying home in seriously underrated

I haaaaaaaate ice cream.

OPYourMingeIsShowing · 20/09/2020 02:39

Salmon tastes revolting, so does caviar and tuna

Pineapple on pizza is nice esp with mushrooms

Most of us are a little bit bisexual

froggygoneacourting · 20/09/2020 02:56

The best bread in the world is challah.

OPYourMingeIsShowing · 20/09/2020 03:09

@froggygoneacourting. I agree. Love challah. A big weakness of mine

Spicy food. What pleasure is there in a burnt tongue?

Malin52 · 20/09/2020 03:34

Chocolate cake is always shit.

Anyone who pays thousands for a puppy is contributing to the existence of the puppy farming trade.

All profiting from selling animals should be made illegal then you would shut down the trade overnight.

Breastfeeding is overrated and it’s perfectly ok to tell a woman she should be giving her baby formula rather than martyring herself to something which won’t make a blind bit of difference to her baby.

Bobbin4apples · 20/09/2020 04:19

Tea is disgusting, no matter the type of tea, it smells and tastes horrible.

Coffee is nasty as a drink. However, dip a biscuit into it, eat it in a cake or chocolate and it's delicious.

Summer, the heat in general and sunny holidays lounging by the pool are all overrated. I'd choose the snow and a pair of hiking boots every time.

Bobbin4apples · 20/09/2020 04:35

I have never breastfed my DC.
I do not breastfeed my DC.
I will never breastfeed my DC.

This is entirely by choice and a very unpopular opinion, especially on MN.

People should not ride horses on roads - it's cruel.

David Attenborough doesn’t half go on.

I don't think people should have more children than they can personally afford to support.

LunaNorth · 20/09/2020 05:37

Judi Dench just plays herself these days. I’m sure she was excellent on the stage back in the day, but whenever I see her now it’s just Judi, raising her eyebrow quizzically. Again.

LunaNorth · 20/09/2020 05:38

Grown women playing netball makes me roll my eyes.

Thatbliddywoman · 20/09/2020 05:39

Anyone who buys an animal as a pet is contributing to the death of a pet of the same species desperately in need of a home
You cannot be an 'animal lover' if you eat meat.
