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?

I’ve never watched game of thrones, and have no desire too!

I miss the Jeremy Kyle show.

I love winter. Not the winter of films (crisp autumn days or deep snowdrifts, though I love those too) but the real winter: rain, wind, grey skies, hail, darker mornings and evenings. I like being outdoors in it, as well as cosying up afterwards.

Not at all keen on summer, I'd be perfectly happy without June, July and August tbh.

Exactly how I feel!

Hating weddings and loving winter are not unusual dislikes on mumsnet Grin

HappyTimeTunnelDinosaur · 04/10/2021 07:01

Forests are underrated and the coast is overrated.

I still like Yankee candles and Cadbury's chocolate.

Some MNers are obsessed with Covid tests. The answer to everything is do a LFT, including on toddlers. And if s test is negative, it must be faulty....

I like being invited to an Evening Reception for a wedding without my children. Or a whole day wedding without my children. Dont care if other children are there either, because they are closer to the bride and groom.

Fetchthevet · 04/10/2021 07:17

Hate most films, most are far too long.
Most holidays are not relaxing, especially when you have children.
Most tv presenters are rubbish - no personality and I wonder how they got their jobs.
I hate and detest tattoos. When I see people with them all over their arms, legs, necks I think they will wake up one day and say "why on earth did I do this to myself?"

RampantIvy · 04/10/2021 07:25

I dislike sleeve tattoos. I'm not really a tattoo fan, but if someone has one I prefer discreet ones and not "in your face" ones.

I hate facial piercings.

Miserablewithweight · 04/10/2021 07:30

Cadbury chocolate is the worst

Winter is the best season.

Fake “relatable” z list celebs like Stacy Solomon are annoying. They get credit for knocking ideas off Pinterest and being so relatable despite the fact they’re clearly loaded and they don’t actually live that way. So fake

The Kardashian’s are strategic / business geniuses and have played a blinder

Strictly is boring overrated

MakeMineAdoubleChocolate · 04/10/2021 07:34

Neck tattoos on women are gross

MakeMineAdoubleChocolate · 04/10/2021 07:37

I also really dislike that piercing between the lip and nostril it's horrible. I believe it's meant to be like a Marilyn Monroe beauty spot. But it looks terrible and chavvy and ruins a pretty face. I don't mean that horribly, but all women are so beautiful in their own way and that piercing and generally a lot of facial piercings look horrible.

MakeMineAdoubleChocolate · 04/10/2021 07:38

@fetchthevet

My brother ruined his face with facial tattoos. When he is elderly he is going to look horrific

NumberNineTwo · 04/10/2021 07:43

I hate travelling too. At least since I had kids. There’s no point going on holiday with kids. You still have to look after them, you can’t relax because you have to supervise them, it’s just the same old shit in a different location. I get more rest while they’re at school than I do on a family holiday.

ImitationofBeing · 04/10/2021 07:43

I look at those cakes that have a huge amount of chocolate goodies or other sweets poured on top of them and think "that is lazy cake decorating, sickly and they can bake but not decorate."

It looks like a bogey stuck on the face!

alwayswrighty · 04/10/2021 07:58

I dislike going to weddings, and I also am way past the baby stage and dislike people foisting their babies on me, or talking about their pregnancy non stop.

Omg yes!!!! I have been thinking this for ages!!!

I can't bear strictly come dancing and I don't get why it's fun or interesting

LawnFever · 04/10/2021 08:35

Fabric softener smells disgusting and makes me feel queasy, I just want my clothes to be clean, they don’t need to smell sickly.

Maskless · 04/10/2021 08:37

All wine tastes like sour grapes.

All beer tastes like vomit.

Novels bore me and I will never read one again. Would rather read something real like a biography or a book that teaches me about a non fiction subject.

Most MPs and councillors are in it from vanity, ego, self interest, and getting their snouts in the trough.

David Icke is a genius in his assessment of history, economics, war, politics and western society, covid and trangenderism.

(I'm not on board with the lizard thing.)

Salted caramel, prosecco, gin and sushi should all be made illegal.

Meghan Markle strikes me as being really nice and I wish people would leave them both TF alone.

'gender' (sex) announcements are cringey as fuck, as are baby showers.

Finding out the sex of your baby should be limited to knowing for medical reasons - I.e. Conditions that only affect one sex.

POAS threads where the OP is 3DPO (etc) should be auto removed from MN - nobody can tell you if you're pregnant that early, come on, just cool your jets and wait a week. Testing every day won't help you.

@DayPyjamas

Secondary infertility isn't infertility, you already have one child, just shut up and leave the infertility threads for those who are really struggling to build a family

@LawnFever

Films are too long and are mostly boring, I’ve only ever watched them because other people want to, I’d rather read a book.
Yes! Everyone thinks I'm weird cos I don't like films
