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 👌

Brexit - a very happy surprise.

Ditto Boris

The Labour Party isn't working.

You can't change your DNA to that of dog, cat, dolphin or the opposite sex, no matter how hard you try to convince others you can.

The NHS - not fit for purpose (my experience this past year has horrified me) in regards to the older generation.

I'd rather be fat than exercise to increase my life span when all I can do when I'm old and thin, is sit in a chair, covered by a blanket watching mindless TV because my mind left years ago.

Another thing that annoys me is when someone asks you about a life choice you have made and tries to dismiss it or argue against it using stupid analogies to make you look foolish when you didn't even bring it up in the first place.

People who buy bottled mineral water would buy tins of air if they could and would happily pay to look at the sky because then it would look better to them than it does to non-payers.

Drinking at least two litres of water a day is a marketing campaign by bottled water producers.

Social Media is the slippery slope to the end of society.

Policemen ARE getting younger.

a quick way to cull the population would be to announce a new reality tv show and shoot everyone who applied. It would probably increase the average IQ of the population

😂 😂 😂

Emotions/ reactions you dislike are generally not a mental illness.
Having that third child you suddenly think you want is a really bad idea.
Adults who 'can't cook' are either lazy or stupid.

*False nails look totally stupid when they're so long and put halfway up the real nail!!
*Why don't you just accept this is what I'm calling my baby, as you have no say in the matter!
*Friends re-runs -- AGAIN?!!!
*Candy floss flavoured grapes -- WHY?
*Love Island should be 'you're doomed island.'
*Have they binned Big Brother yet?
*When will we stop paying the TV licence?
*Katie Price WAS such a beauty, once upon a time!! See what an addiction to plastic surgery makes you?!!

Brilliant idea❤

Pixxie7 · 21/02/2021 06:09

Fed up with the increasing number of reality tv shows particularly celebrities basically acting as children.

BeautySleep · 21/02/2021 06:39

I love most kinds of reality tv.
I didn't ever want to breastfeed.
I don't care about politics and don't care who's running the country

I was completely unmoved by Captain Tom, in life and death.

Identikit girls in a group photo with the same hair, same makeup, same pose. You cannot tell who is who.

The work involved in looking after a dog outweighs the benefits.

Posts on social media of a new baby with the caption “how are you already 4 weeks old!”

110APiccadilly · 21/02/2021 07:00

Co-sleeping isn't safe, it's only preferable to being so tired you might fall asleep with the baby somewhere even worse so should be a last resort.

Ricky Gervais has become a thinker for dull people, and he hasn't done anything funny or clever since Extras.

LonstantonSpiceMuseum · 21/02/2021 07:51

I love this thread! I feel like I'm not original though 😂

Agree Adele looked better before she lost the weight

False nails or any long nails are hideous

Kate and Will should stand up to the family racism and paedophilic uncle Andrew. It would help more children than just wafting around hospital wards. Or leave the royal family.

OhWhyNot · 21/02/2021 07:57

That Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You is better than Dolly Parton original version

Not particularly keen on the song but WH vocals are just incredibly (especially live) DP sounds like a cat being strangled on this song (not others)

Wanderings · 21/02/2021 08:05

Another vote for lockdown should never have happened: I’d sure we’ll be hearing this from politicians AND the general public in a few years’ time.

Icantthinkofausername1 · 21/02/2021 08:15

Not an unpopular opinion, I’m sure but -

Posts on Facebook or Instagram saying....”this one will be 4 in 5 weeks”. That’s five weeks away yet, please shut up! Not one single person cares.

Letsgomaths · 21/02/2021 08:20

There’s nothing wrong with wearing trainers without socks.

That you don’t have to wrap presents. Blindfold the recipient instead: same principle, saves paper.

goldielockdown2 · 21/02/2021 08:20

I really like Meghan.

Face masks should all be burnt, there is small print on the back of every pack of them saying 'not for medical use'/'not medical grade' for a reason. Just be done with them.

People should stop being in awe of the NHS. We have all had to make months of sacrifices for it's shortcomings.

Alcohol just tastes like heartburn.

TheMiMit · 21/02/2021 08:31

Unless you are writing the lesson plan and marking the work, you are not homeschooling, you're supervising at best.

trappedsincesundaymorn · 21/02/2021 08:40

Rural living is shit
Queen are the most overrated band ever
Roast dinners are nothing special
House prices should be capped
Gin is vile

RickOShay · 21/02/2021 08:46

I think fat women are attractive and honestly don’t understand people who don’t.

Despite the obvious skill from very talented artists, Tattoos look good on No one.

Whitney168 · 21/02/2021 08:57

@TeenMinusTests

if music no longer existed I wouldn't miss it.
Most things on these threads are just a matter of personal taste, but I genuinely can't get my head round this one!
Whitney168 · 21/02/2021 08:59

(Not that I'm saying you're not entitled to your opinion, @TeenMinusTests - it just boggles my mind!)

TeenMinusTests · 21/02/2021 09:04

Whitney Not saying I don't enjoy some music, and I do like musicals, but I think I could happily go through life without it. I like either peace and quiet or interesting 'talk' radio. The only time I actively put music on is in on long car journeys when Radio 4 has got something boring on (or Count Arthur Strong).
