What’s your unpopular opinion?

Weddings. I’m just not a fan. I’m delighted when friends get married but generally find the day long and boring. Yes, I’ve been to some absolutely beautiful weddings and had a lovely time but generally speaking, I’d prefer to be doing something else.

That’s my unpopular opinion!

Cats should not be kept indoors. It's unfair.

Trans women aren’t women.
You can’t call yourself an animal lover and eat meat, possibly even worse- dairy.

I don't care about sharing public toilets with trans women.

I love Keir Starmer.

Gary Barlow is a talented musician

Some people who work from home* do absolutely fuck all.

Lol I know this to be true for a few and have the same opinion 😅 Of course not all, others work very hard

Councils would be better run, and council tax lower, if we could do away with local elections and councillors.

I agree about weddings.

Also think takeaways are overly priced and I still have to tidy up. Would prefer a restaurant.

That there’s no excuse to be rude in general.

I can’t stand excuses for adult behaviour: “oh that’s just them, they always just say it how it is”
“they’re just a very abrupt person, they don’t really realise they’re being rude. Once you know them they’re lovely, don’t take it personally”.

Unpopular opinion is that if that indeed is “just how they are” then they need a slap and to actually face the reality that how they speak to people isn’t ok.

Also funny how these people are the first to complain and get upset when the situation is reversed. Funny that.

Shops should be closed on Sundays. We don’t have nearly enough time off in this country.

PoochiesPinkEars · 30/03/2024 20:23

Driving licences should be retested for periodically and inconsiderate parking and middle lane driving somehow accounted for.

People who have poor listening skills should experience being talked at so they can appreciate what it feels like and they have to go to listening school to learn to do better.

Eyebrow lamination usually looks terrible- I think it will look very dated in the neat future (a bit like perms are very of the 80s, laminated brows will be of the 20s)

EVs are not that great for the environment, and I think are actually detracting focus from other areas that would actually benefit environment a lot more

Humans need to go back to small scale farming and seasonal eating, which means less choice in shops

Fuschia01 · 30/03/2024 20:24

I don’t care about sharing a loo with a trans person. Reading MN you’d think they were absolutely everywhere!

We decided to take this down as this is not in the spirit of the site.

Agree with the first comment but not the second.

I love a good wedding, but completely agree with you about takeaways. Overpriced and you still need to wash up!

MurderousCheekbones · 30/03/2024 20:25

I think burial and cemeteries should be banned. So much space given over to the dead on this small island.

NobbyNobbs · 30/03/2024 20:26

You can't change sex.

You must be thick as pig shit to vape.

  1. You're a parent first, friend second.

  2. children don't stop needing their parents once they reach 16.

We cannot sustain the refugee crisis in the UK. We cannot keep borders open indefinitely.

Nicebloomers · 30/03/2024 20:28

Driving tests should be retaken every ten years.

Oneofmykind · 30/03/2024 20:28

Fancy dress days in school should be banned - if you want to fundraise give a donation, if you want to promote book day read a book.

The Beatles were rubbish.

If anything kids need their parents more post-16, just in different ways

That being woke and inclusive has been pushed onto people so far that it's started to have the opposite effect and make people resentful and intolerant or the things they were once tolerant about.

DrJoanAllenby · 30/03/2024 20:32

Short hair on 99% of women looks awful.
Dummies and pacifiers are horrible.
Lip fillers are hideous.
Unless there is a medical condition the majority of people that are obese/fat don't need a gastric band they need to eat less and exercise more.
Minorities of any kind should never be pandered to.
Taylor Swift is truly dreadful.
Dogs should be allowed in all shops.
Harry Styles is repulsive.

Toddlers and children are given far too big portions to eat (and drink). Which leads to an insatiable appetite and becoming unhappy, fat adults.

Transwomen are men.

The vast majority of women who say they 'couldn't' breastfeed are lying, they just didn't want to.
