Unpopular opinion

[Pokercomic]

Lighthearted, give me your unpopular opinions.

I can start;

The musical Hamilton and Star Wars are over rated.

People who call their animals 'fur babies' (and mean it) and refer to themselves as a 'dog/cat mummy' are ridiculous. Anyone who compares having an animal in emotional terms or terms of having to provide levels care is idiotic.

"I love my dog as much as I'd love a child". No, no you definitely wouldn't. It is not the same!

Dogs should not be off lead in public areas I unless it's an enclosed area specifically for them.

People who have larger families (3+) are kidding themselves if they think they can provide enough individual attention to each child, especially if both parents work.

Trifle is rank, banoffee is foul and apple crumble is vile!

@SpiderinaWingMirror totally agree.

Yes, wine is horrible, what is wrong with everybody?

I had no idea so many people hate trifle. Its my all time favourite pudding!

@FoxyTheFox

Anxiety can be situational - e.g., social anxiety - or time limited such as "my anxiety levels are really high lately". Neither of which would usually require a diagnosis or treatment in the same way as ongoing anxiety does but the person saying they have anxiety wouldn't be wrong or attention seeking by saying "I have anxiety" and it doesn't mean their anxiety is any less unpleasant or debilitating.

Again, that isn't a person I am describing.

All things I've had said to me :

"I'm a bit OCD me" because they like vacuum cleaner lines in the carpet and worship Mrs Hinch.

Or

"everyone is a bit autistic" because someone is quiet or a bit different to social norms.

Or

"he/she obviously has NPD" to describe an unpleasant person

Is the same as using "I've got anxiety" to mean you're a bit stressed at the moment.

I have lived with anxiety and depression my entire life, officially diagnosed for the last 12 years. People use the term "anxiety" so casually which means that when I need to use it to explain myself, I can see the other person is thinking "here we go..." and I know through my lived experience that this is a real problem.

People who call their animals 'fur babies' (and mean it) and refer to themselves as a 'dog/cat mummy' are ridiculous. Anyone who compares having an animal in emotional terms or terms of having to provide levels care is idiotic.

On the same note, anyone who says ‘I prefer animals to people - they don’t let you down’ should grow up and learn that human relationships are hard and take work.

If you feel like you need alcohol to have fun, or are truly gutted to have to go to an event and no drinks you probably need to really have a look at your relationship with alcohol.

Also:

Criticising someone for their behaviour online is NOT trolling. You can’t avoid being called out on shitty behaviour by spouting ‘Whatever happened to #bekind?! ’ Er, no - someone telling you they think it’s shit that you’re boasting about your holiday in Dubai when the rest of the country can’t see their families is NOT unkind. It’s fucking reality.

Men in baggy swimwear look ridiculous. Why are we terrified of the male body? Imagine if men said, ‘Eeew, women in swimsuits - you can only get away with that if you’re in the Olympics or a size 6. The rest of you should keep your sarong on in the water’. It would be at best bizarre and at worst downright rude.

"be kind" gives me bigger rage than "go for walk it's good foe you" 😂 and that's something

Many people who claim they are mask exempt just don’t want to wear one. There’s local influencer who makes a big thing of having a ‘hidden disability’ and is often seen on the gram in her sunflower lanyard. Thing is she also goes to the same hair salon as me often at the same time as me and manages to wear one there for several hours... the salon has a zero tolerance policy on face coverings. You don’t wear one they won’t do your hair. Unlike shops they enforce this.

Make of that what you will, but anyone can go online a buy a lanyard which is why I’m so skeptical. They should given out by medical professionals only.

call her out on it

Love pineapple on pizza
Cooking programmes on tv should be banned
Lord of the Rings is shite
Matrix is mind numbingly boring
Influencers..., yikes

GabsAlot it’s pointless. I’d be blocked and she’d no doubt set her minions on me. She’s quite clearly personality disordered and thinks she’s ‘special’. She sat next to me at the salon before Christmas and basically just talked at her stylist about herself for the hour or so it took to apply the colour to her hair. I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone talk so much about themselves in my life.

Makes me cross because there are people who genuinely exempt and people like this twat make things even more difficult for them.

Davis Bowie was overrated.

@EvilOnion

The Foo Fighters are shit and DG is NOT attractive in the slightest.

Get the fuck off this thread right now

How very dare you DG is a god among men!!

Cooking programmes on tv should be banned
I learned a lot from them so nonono. Plus what would all them chefs do 😂😂😂

@Scrunchy95

Davis Bowie was overrated.

and the way he treated Mick Ronson and Trevor Bolder wasn't great IMHO.

@RLJ1905

I don't see the appeal in a glass of wine

Of course not it should be a bottle as a bare minimum.

@NeverMetANiceOne

Slow cookers are shit.

Well, they're very rarely used, people think they will then they don't.

*Midlifelady

Trifle is disgusting.

Reported.*

I second that Report

@Tibtab Gin tastes awful As a mattr of fact it does.

@ChristinaYang10 Bohemian rhapsody is not a good song, no it's a fun song.

@Hellodarknessmyoldpal Any type of cheese apart from cheddar is rank (and even cheddar i can only cope with in small amounts). I feel like 3 hail marys will not be enough. Cheese is life!

@B33Fr33 Having pets is pretty selfish. Yes.

I can't comment on Greggs Apple tart because, well it's Greggs!
Still undecided about Harry Potter.

Here endeth responses to Page 1

seething with jealousy that she's met a prince and living her best life

The expressions

"living their best life"

"making memories"

"live, laugh, love"

and similar meaningless bollox.

David Walliams is not funny nor is he talented in any way

Sandy Toksvig is a better host of QI than Stephen Fry.

Gogglebox is utter wank.

Bananas are disgusting.

Coffee makes your breath smell like you've been gargling with cack.

All swordy/dragony/fucky TV is boring drivel.

Idris Elba is more wooden than a 300 year old oak tree.

Tom Hardy is minging and cannot act.

Channing Tatum is singing, cannot act and his dancing makes my fanny shrivel up and die.

Mama Mia is the second shittiest film ever made behind The Scorpion King.

50 Shades of Grey is the worst thing that ever happened to popular culture.

All musicals suck.

Plastic surgery makes you look a bit younger but a lot uglier (not counting medical needs surgery here)

Mint in all forms is actually evil.

Children who do the high pitched squeal frequently should be kept in a soundproof room with their parents until those parents can teach them to tone it down a little.

I could go on all days because I am a miserable git.

@SicParvisMagna

Oh the biggest one

James Corden is a total cunt.

Not an unpopular opinion.

A statement of fact.
