Unpopular opinion

Lighthearted, give me your unpopular opinions.

I can start;

The musical Hamilton and Star Wars are over rated.

Loud people (and those who emphasise ideas all the time) do my head in. I switch off. I much prefer softly spoken 'velvety voice' types.

tangerinelollipop · 29/03/2021 09:39

I mean, why do all presenters feel the need to shout?

TwunchOfBats · 29/03/2021 09:39

ABBA are (and have always been) over rated. Their songs are fine, but don't deserve to have lasted 50 years.

Netflix, only ever enjoyed one series on there the rest is boring re run of old stuff, and weird sci fi

I'm a celebrity get me out of here, same old every year.

Forget me nots are weeds and don’t belong in the garden

@Sidewalksue

Children singing is awful. ESPECIALLY choirs.
I agree and I'm a primary school teacher. The more trained the children have been to sing the worse they sound. My idea of a nightmare is a bunch of kids from Sylvia Young's theatre school singing a song from the musical Annie.

@CloudFormations

My baby is objectively the most beautiful ever to have existed, and even though he’s only 4 months old there’s no doubt he’s going to be a child genius.

Friends is shite.
Coffee tastes revolting.
Jeans are torturous and sweat-inducing.
Domesticating animals makes no sense to me.
People who think their tattoos make them 'alternative' are anything but.

ZaZathecat · 29/03/2021 09:48

I like Coldplay (unpopular on MN, normal in RL)

the80sweregreat · 29/03/2021 09:50

People who do not like any hot drinks at all are a bit strange as tea is the best hot drink ever!
I hate beards and tattoos ( Dh and eldest have them :(
You won't die if you re use a towel in the bathroom for a few days.
I like Gray and cream walls.

tangerinelollipop · 29/03/2021 09:52

I hate beards and tattoos

Ditto

Bluesheep8 · 29/03/2021 09:52

Ed Sheeran and Adele are average singers who just got lucky

Yes indeed. A damn sight luckier than we are when we're subjected to the noise of either.

the80sweregreat · 29/03/2021 09:54

I also love Coldplay as they can play many instruments, write their own songs and they have shared all the money between them. What's not to like there ?
I never seen any star war or lord of the rings films and do not feel as if I've missed out !
Too many programs on now , such as line of duty , are hyped up to the max when really they shouldn't be. It's so boring.
I liked behind her eyes as it was a bit different.

tangerinelollipop · 29/03/2021 09:55

Ed Sheeran and Adele

I like them Grin

Bluesheep8 · 29/03/2021 09:55

Young bearded men who resemble Victorian circus ring leaders with twirly moustaches drinking tea out of jam jars look like complete w***s.

the80sweregreat · 29/03/2021 09:57

Again, at least Ed Sheeran wrote a lot of own songs ( ditto Adele) and didn't take any money from the tax payer for his restaurant to stay afloat last year. For that alone I can forgive' Galway girl! '
I'd rather them than tax dodging Gary Barlow.

StephenBelafonte · 29/03/2021 09:58

It's not OK to lie.

tangerinelollipop · 29/03/2021 09:58

Too many programs on now , such as line of duty , are hyped up to the max when really they shouldn't be. It's so boring

Yes, lots of boring low cost stuff on. I haven't watched Line of Duty, but more generally.

A full chicken only does one family meal 😬 so many people are entitled pricks 😶

the80sweregreat · 29/03/2021 10:02

I've only ever had one meal for four from a standard chicken! Not sure what I'm doing wrong really.

Pr1mr0se · 29/03/2021 10:03

Self catering holidays (without kids or not)
Caravans (holidaying with kids)

Just not holidays.

midsomermurderess · 29/03/2021 10:04

Oh, why are these treads allowed? There was one just a day or so ago. It is just nasty. sneering bile spouted by nasty sneering people. Not a thing is ever 'unpopular', it is always the same old angry bilge. Just stop it. Just grow up.

ExConstance · 29/03/2021 10:04

Sourdough bread tastes like cardboard and is so hard to bite into likely to damage teeth.

the80sweregreat · 29/03/2021 10:04

I liked Big Brother when it first started out as a social experiment. It was quite interesting and the people in it were fairly natural.

ThatOtherPoster · 29/03/2021 10:05

Most tattoos just look like “tattoos”, not individual images.

Masterchef’s format is crap. Contestants reach the quarter finals when they’ve only cooked a couple of times.

Most of the time, “in and of itself” means, “I just want to sound clever”. As does using “yourself” and “myself” instead of “you” and “me”.
