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 👌

@lobster12

I am quite enjoying the lockdown and hope it lasts for a couple months more. It's a great excuse to not see my insufferable in laws.
Yes to this 100% It's been a good excuse for avoiding people you don't like.

It's also stopped the rude (imo) practice of people dropping in unannounced

Child free people are undervalued and pick up the slack.
You are not obligated to keep contact with family who criticise you and make you feel shit.
People are not interested in other people’s kids.
Personal responsibility is not valued enough and anything can be used as an excuse.

We should have only shielded the over 65s and let the rest of us acquire herd immunity.

Being a size 14/16 and above is very bad for your health. And just because this is now the average dress size it doesn't mean it should be considered normal/healthy (and, yes I am a size 14 and I know I would be much healthier and look much better if I lost at least 14lbs).

Nutella is dreadful.

Strawberries (or any fruit frankly) should never be combined with chocolate.

Crisps are a waste of calories. And sweet popcorn is vile.

Love Actually is a horrid film about deceit and everything that's the opposite of love.

I quite like these because you can instantly gauge whether you like someone or not based on their unpopular opinions.

MsMiaWallace · 21/02/2021 13:08

Don't need evidence, this thread is to air unpopular opinions & that's my opinion!

Ozzybobz12 · 21/02/2021 13:08

Bottled Water is ridiculous
as is expensive handwash - literally money down the drain
Flavoured Yorkshire tea - Malted milk/jam on toast wtf
Gender reveal parties
people who let their dogs loose on parks/beaches and have no control over them
people who park their car right next to yours when the car park is practically empty

Absolutely.

People who fawn over celebritues are a bit simple.
Acrylic nails look thick and horrible.
Massive ott eyelashes are ugly and make the wearer look like Miss Piggy.
Middle aged men dressed as women look like middle aged men dressed as women..

@Okokokbear quoting two posts by the same person that completely contradict each other is not bullying 🙄

kateybeth79 · 21/02/2021 13:22

Breeding and owning Pugs or any other Brachycephalic dog is cruel and unethical. They live in constant agony as they struggle to breathe. Their existence is one of pain and suffering.

Along with bully breeds, Pugs are hideous to look at and not cute at all!!

I think Boris is doing a good job.

I hate the negatively of the press.

Don't care what Harry does, just wish press would stop reporting his every word and give them the privacy they say they want.

The vaccine should be mandatory.

UncleBrynsMySpaceFriend · 21/02/2021 13:32

Tea smells, looks and tastes revolting.
Cake is a waste of calories
99 percent of people are self serving - some are just much better at hiding it than others.
Undergrad courses at Russell Group universities are not always the best.
The only opinion I hold about Meghan Markle is the failure to understand why she would change her name from Rachel to Meghan. Meghan/Megan is an awful name.

Libraryghost · 21/02/2021 13:35

Men cannot become women or vice verse despite what we are told..
Ed Sheehan and Adele are shite
Grey decor is boring and unimaginative
Next (shop) is overpriced over rated shit
Festivals are crap, you get wet and the toilets are horrid. I wouldn’t go one if Elvis came back from the dead
People who post ‘inspiring quotes’ on FB are a bit simple

ooohbriefcase · 21/02/2021 13:40

@UncleBrynsMySpaceFriend Meghan Markles name used to be Rachel?? Shock why have I never heard this.

Being obese is not always a lifestyle choice. It can be the physical manifestation of somebody’s painful past. It should not be vilified, rather understood.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 21/02/2021 13:53

Pretty much all addictions other than food are glamorised.

notacooldad · 21/02/2021 13:57

I don't mind being alled ' lives bu people I don't know.
It's a friendly generic form of address where I live.
I think adults who use the word 'Yummy' to describe food are ridiculous.

notacooldad · 21/02/2021 13:59

I don't mind being alled ' lives bu people I don't know.
Crikey, lots of typos.
I meant ' I don't mind being called love by people I don't know.

Her real name is Rachel Meghan Markle but she chooses to go by Meghan.

ShitzandGiggles · 21/02/2021 14:07

I think Donald Trump is really sexy

People who quote “be kind” on Facebook are usually the meanest people

Performing arts and sports are more interesting for the performers than the audience

Cheese and coffe are both vile

All cars over 10 years old should be compulsorily scrapped

We should not be building on the green belt. There are definitely too many people in the UK, if a few more go back to Europe it is no bad thing

ancientgran · 21/02/2021 14:08

@horridhorrid

Mrs Brown's Boys is about as unfunny as it gets.
Ain't that the truth.
MsMiaWallace · 21/02/2021 14:11

Lol Donald Trump sexy....

FoxyTheFox · 21/02/2021 14:12

The same way that conditions such as asd and adhd are now used as an excuse by some parents for their shitty parenting skills!

Bullshit.

I have met 100s of parents of children with ASD and ADHD, I have two ND children. I have never met a parent who uses it as an excuse for shitty parenting, usually the opposite in fact as they tend to hyper-aware of their parenting in full awareness that there will be ignorant twunts passing judgement on it. These are usually the type of people who think firm boundaries, a strict routine, and hard discipline are enough to both prevent and cure ASD and ADHD.
