Uncommon opinions

I hate travelling. Don’t like going on holidays and I don’t like staying in hotels.

Most people live boring average lives (myself included). So much feels pointless since we all end up in the same position in the end.

Life is dull most of the time.

Most marriages are like roommates with occasional sex thrown in.

And you? What uncommon opinions do you have?

4Chan is better for uncommon opinions, I've heard. It's also probably better moderated than this site.

I hate Christmas movies. What is the point of watching the same movie again and again every year? And they are not even good ones. Like, Love, Actually....really? And Home Fucking Alone? I mean, it was ok the first time but every year?

  • like winter (cold, dark, rain…all of it) & dislike summer
  • also dislike walking (as in going for walks) - boring and pointless. Not so bad if there’s a dog involved
  • can’t stand people talking about ‘travelling’ when the actually mean ‘going on holiday’
  • I don’t like Strictly.

The only time I ever looked at 4chan, years ago there a picture...on the first page...very illegal. I decided it probably wasn't the place for me. Iv heard that it has mellowed, but nah you are wrong.

I'm not keen on running, bouncing up and down, I prefer cycling.
People in groups seem to get on well with each other, then when you get the group members in singles or two ect they soon change their perspectives.
People judge no matter what you do.
I want to have detail ed intelligence files on various people I know, and if I had the resources I would build them.

@Cottagepieandpeas I don’t like Strictly

Me neither, I’ve watched odd bits of it but it just seems very samey to me.

Sometimes I would disagree with you. Right now, you are so bloody right! I appreciate you putting my feelings into words!

Strictly is tedious, my sister made me watch it once, it seemed to go on for days.

I don't see the big fuss about David Attenborough, he's a posh bloke who has lived a full and priveledged life, wanking on about the dying planet blah blah overpopulation. He's probably taken the resources of thousands of third world people in his lifetime.

Lovealovestory · 03/10/2021 23:33

I hate nights out. Unless it's a wedding.

Workinghardeveryday · 03/10/2021 23:35

Not that I can eat it, but cheese is 🤮

Duckypoohs · 03/10/2021 23:37

I can't be doing with people on mumsnet who "weep" over sentimental or inconsequential things. Bloody get a grip.

Soupseason · 03/10/2021 23:41

I really like Cadbury's chocolate. I can't really say I've noticed a change over the years.

DoormatBob · 03/10/2021 23:43

A lot of screen time has improved my toddlers development. She just seems to know about everything if that makes sense.

Puffalicious · 03/10/2021 23:43

I can't be doing with weddings: they're mainly samey, a bit cringy and a total and utter waste of lots of money. I particularly can't stand the never ending photos.

Recreational drugs should be legalised and distributed under medical supervision, to prevent organised crime profiting from them and ensure they aren't adulterated.
Without hunting and shooting, the countryside would be vast prairies, all down to agribusiness.

grapewine · 03/10/2021 23:46

Christmas is wholly overrated unless you are religious, which I'm not.

I have no desire to live to old age.

chinashopbull · 03/10/2021 23:48

@DoormatBob I agree with you on this. My toddler has learnt more with screen time.

Puffalicious · 03/10/2021 23:49

Most of the posters on Style and Beauty are snobs and up their own arse. There, said it.

@Forgothowmuchlhatehomeschoolin

People who choose to run a marathon then bang on about it and expect me to sponsor them to do something they wanted to do and are only running for charity because they didn't make the ballot.
I've run two marathons.

With hindsight, it was a really stupid waste of time and effort, and the next time I want to get to somewhere 26.2 miles away, I'll drive, like a normal person.

Clocktopus · 03/10/2021 23:55

@LukeEvansWife Yup, I give it until page two before a whole bunch of -isms start cropping up. My money is on either racism or disablism.

I'll go one further, and say that I far prefer Galaxy over Cadbury's or all the wanky Green & Blacks nonsense.

I couldn't give a shite about the cocoa content, because ultimately it's the fat and sugar content that makes it taste nice.

TableFlowerss · 03/10/2021 23:56

I can’t stand mayonnaise.

Absolute minging stuff and brings nothing to the flavour of food, other than vinegary white off salad cream stuff. How anyone enjoys that shit is beyond me. Salad cream is even worse bowk

I hate Aldi. Their food is shit.

This is the most outrageous post on the thread so far.
