I know this has been done before but it's Saturday morning and I'm BORED. Fucking bored. Also feeling sorry for myself because the cat has fallen out with me. Here are a few of my tame ones:

Line of Duty is shit
I don't like dogs
Snapped and farted wasn't funny
Baby showers are fucking hideous
Ross Geller is the best Friend 👌

This thread will get deleted pronto...

Oh wait, that's just a statement of the obvious.

Adele looked better before she lost weight

People who go on reality shows are not celebrities

Soaps are just full of people arguing, having affairs and committing crimes and are nothing like real life

Some illnesses should not be treated as it’s not in the best interests of the person and their quality of life is shit

Twospaniels · 20/02/2021 18:49

You shouldn’t find out the sex of your baby before the birth, it’s nice to have a surprise after all the efforts of labour

FionnulaTheCooler · 20/02/2021 18:59

This will be unpopular on here, but I love Blackpool and have been there many times on holiday. You can keep your Centre Parcs, give me a bag of chips and an amusement arcade and I'm happy.

FindingMeno · 20/02/2021 19:05

I don't believe punishment is effective for children or teenagers.
It's ok to be your child's friend ( in response to
" you're not their friend, you're their parent")

DuchessofHastings1 · 20/02/2021 19:34

I hate coffee.
I think river island bags are shit and aren't worth the money.
I hate them fluffy slip on sandals.
Mrs Browns Boys is funny as aids.
I like Harry and Meghan and haven't done anything wrong to get this much hate.

OrangeBananaFish · 20/02/2021 19:36

There is nothing good about snow

This 100%

Dogs are not children. Yes they are very much part of a family and are loved, but they are a pet not a child and that also means you do not have furbabies and you are not a doggy mama (or whatever word you use). Same with cats.

MumUndone · 20/02/2021 19:44

I'd like my husband to earn more than me so I could stop working.

There's absolutely no need to shower every day.

There's also absolutely no need to change bed sheets every week (let alone every day) unless you're a smelly, sweaty person.

It's fine for kids to eat fish fingers, sausages and other such foods.

Coriandersucks · 20/02/2021 19:48

I’m sick of all the talk on mental health particularly all the celebs jumping on the bandwagon telling us about their struggles.

Paris is a dump, I preferred London.

Limegreentangerine · 20/02/2021 19:56

Cream eggs are disgusting

FedUpAtHomeTroels · 20/02/2021 19:58

All alcohol tastes like crap.
Holidays abroad in the sun are over rated.
Lip and cheek fillers look silly, and on older women they are aging, not making them look younger, it looks like trying too hard.
Smoking and vaping is grim.
School uniforms are pointless and only teach that the school cares more about you looking like clones than your education.

Chunkymenrock · 20/02/2021 20:00

Slim people are really irritating. I hate reading posts with terrible spelling and/or punctuation. Children are overrated. Marriage is overrated. Alcohol and coffee are overrated. There are too many people in the country. Mobile phones should only be for over 16s.

Slumberdoon · 20/02/2021 20:04

Some of the newer app games for building your kingdom/civilisation are so bad! Build castle, build gate, lay egg, train soldiers. Right so I’ve pressed five buttons when’s the fun bit that you showed on the ad going to happen? Never. Build fort, build stables- you’ve run out of diamonds! Spend real
Money! No. Just no.

I am beyond sick of lockdown but I worry that one set of problems will be replaced by my usual set of rushing about doing 8 things at once all day problems and that I’m actually a moan person and not the joyful
Bundle of fun I imagine myself to be. This opinion is most unpopular with myselfGrin

rawalpindithelabrador · 20/02/2021 20:13

I was really hoping Covid would kill off vacuous celeb culture and influencers.

Jo Malone products are over-priced rubbish, so it Charlotte Tillsbury.

Hyphenated forenames in English are chavvy AF

Most British houses are compete shit unless you're rich.

Monarchy and inherited titles should be banned.

Lockdowns don't work.

Bambam2019 · 20/02/2021 20:24

You can’t use “in a world where you can be anything- be kind” as a Way of it being held accountable for your actions.
It’s one thing to expect kindness about something you cannot control. It is quite another if you do something wrong and someone calls you out in it and you pull the “kindness” card.

randomer · 20/02/2021 20:28

Gavin and Stacey was boring
Artisan anything is shite
The Queen should have bailed out years ago

DieZensur · 20/02/2021 20:31

Lockdowns will turn out to have been a monstrous error.

Children should be at school now.

Alcohol-free "gin" may be as expensive as the real thing, but tastes like loo cleaner.

Fat people need to lose weight.

Holidays are boring, and people who talk about their holidays are even more boring.

Anyone who writes posts on Mumsnet which involve people "kicking off" ought to have a lifetime ban.

Therainisback · 20/02/2021 20:37

If you get married, take your husband's surname. Otherwise don't bother.

Instead of building more houses we should have less people.
In fact just me & a few random bits of wildlife would be goodGrin

andpeggy1 · 20/02/2021 20:43

I can't stand pancakes! And therefore hate pancake day!

ilikebooksandplants · 20/02/2021 20:53

False eyelashes are dreadful.

Owning a car/driving should be even more heavily taxed than it is already.

Two children is enough (obviously not counting twins if you’ve already got one child).

The queen should have been hauled over the coals for Andrew.

Adele is an awful singer and now looks like a less attractive Kate Winslet.

Cats are fucking brilliant.

CarterBeatsTheDevil · 20/02/2021 20:55

Obesity is caused by a combination of lifestyle, genes, hormones and hardwired childhood lessons about how to eat from parents, which does not mean that an obese person should not try to be healthier but does mean that it is much harder for them than either "eat less move more" or "calories in calories out" suggests.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 20/02/2021 21:00

Dogs are brilliant. They should lick your face as much as you want. And sleep on your bed.

The monarchy should last forever. (Well foreseeable future)

Adele looks so much better thin.

Smashed avocado on toast is shite.

Cricket should be compulsory viewing.

Anyone offered a jab should just take it, whether they are “jumping the queue” or not. Just get it done.

Viciouslybashed · 20/02/2021 21:16

These threads always end in hurt feelings. I luckily don't give a fuck if skinny dickheads online think they are better than someone larger than them. So that's my controversial unpopular opinion: whilst being a healthy weight has its plus points being a skinny judgey twat doesnt make you better than anyone else.

FuckingHateRats · 20/02/2021 21:18

Beyonce is overrated.

Ready salted are the best crisp flavour.

TheVolturi · 20/02/2021 21:19

Pumped up lips are horrible.
Enormous fake lashes look ridiculous.
Giant plastic nails look hideous.
