Lighthearted, give me your unpopular opinions.

I can start;

The musical Hamilton and Star Wars are over rated.

@Gwenhwyfar

"Signing your cards including your pets' names is really, really lame"

No more lame than including the baby's name surely?

Way way more lame.

@Benjispruce2

Men in cropped, skinny jeans with no socks should be fined for crimes against the eyes.
thats a fact

@PatsyStone39 Piers, is that you hun?

Another one: I find the super-muscular, body-builder type of man really off-putting rather than sexy

PatsyStone39 · 29/03/2021 12:13

@wemarchon Ha! Definitely not. I'm sending him to the island with them!

I didn't know big 0 parties were a new thing, as far as I am concerned people have always celebrated them.

Stoke on Trent may not be very nice (I've never been there) but you can get decent houses for not very much money, unlike London.

jessstan2 · 29/03/2021 12:15

The musical, 'Oliver', is highly embarrassing.

bogoffmda · 29/03/2021 12:18

I f***g hate Tesla

Benjispruce2 · 29/03/2021 12:18

The adjective ‘curvy’ has been hijacked( I’m ducking.)

ParvaAvis · 29/03/2021 12:18

I hate dogs and their owners. 😩

The endless focus on food and diet, organic etc, and what you should or can’t eat’ with no medical reason. 😡

‘Goblin and Alien Shite’: Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Terry Pratchett, Granny Weatherwax, Dungeons and Dragons, etc. 🤮

I hate the colour grey: in homes, on clothes. A timid and unimaginative colour.

All forms of trifle are an abomination.

Same, they remind me of tied sausages. I prefer a "dad bod".

Equally, I don't like clean-shaven face on men. They remind me of little boys.

I don't like skinny frame/physique on women, especially if small-breasted/flat-chested (Looking at the ever-so lauded models with their fully plucked hairless bodies). They look more like tall little girls to me. I can't help but wonder if it's part of the appeal to some.

ToffeeNotCoffee · 29/03/2021 12:22

London is horrific and I don’t understand why anyone wants to live there (ditto Stoke on Trent)

I don't mind London to visit and I live in North Staffordshire. However, each to their own.

@Ruthietuthie

The only acceptable flavour of hot cross bun is the traditional one. All other varieties (Marks and Spencer's salted caramel oozy chocolate variety and friends) are an abomination.
THIS!!!!!

@Benjispruce2

Shock my babies were beautiful. They really were, and still are for that matter!Grin
Same with mine.

But everyone else's were "meh" at best.

B33Fr33 · 29/03/2021 12:26

Cornwall is hugely over rated.

vixeyann · 29/03/2021 12:30

I can't stand cats

AndromedaGal · 29/03/2021 12:31

Women are naturally more powerful than men because they give birth to new life. Men spend a lot of time trying to attain to the same level of power as a woman in their pursuit of powerful career positions etc but the reality is they’re just servants to the vagina & the womb. Some men love this and are ok with it. Some men can’t hack it

Loveagoodbuffet · 29/03/2021 12:33

I dont like gin.
I don't like the Harry Potter books.
Having a bar in the garden is horrible.
Disney is tacky.
Christmas eve boxes are unnecessary.
Baby showers are over the top.

In writing, I'm a little Ray of sunshine aren't I?! Grin

Abcdefghi88 · 29/03/2021 12:35

Here are mine....

I don't see the appeal of wine, gin or prosecco.
Harry Potter, what's the big deal?
Grey and pale pink decor that seems to be the rage at the moment, why?
Stacey Solomon (seems a nice lady but so irritating!)
Fake grass
Jamie Oliver (lisping irritates me)
James Corden (annoying)
Jedward (talentless)
Acrylic nails with tacky embellishments
Tattoos
Overdone fake tans

dogsdinnerlady · 29/03/2021 12:37

Can't see the point of BBQs.

Jayfluffybigboots · 29/03/2021 12:37

Could not agree more, she’s a massive boring drip!!!

Abcdefghi88 · 29/03/2021 12:37

@Loveagoodbuffet omg you could be me!!
I forgot to add Disney too! I mean, it's great for kids but I cannot understand why grown women go nuts over Disney nightwear. My SIL looked everywhere for a Dumbo nightie like it was the end of the world!

SweetPetrichor · 29/03/2021 12:37

Feminine men, men in subtle makeup, men in dresses can be gorgeous.

Cross breeds are expensive mongrels.

Abcdefghi88 · 29/03/2021 12:38

Also TOWIE and Big Brother and Strictly. Ugh

1WayOrAnother2 · 29/03/2021 12:38

That apple-pie is not particularly American!
