I'll go first ...

B&M is over rated

Most of the home decor is tacky
I can get cleaning products at in the supermarket without a separate trip.
It's not super cheap like people say when you really compare the prices

I’ve had sex once, just the tip and he pulled out and it was a Tuesday.

Am I pregnant?

Roast dinners are shit

😱

Babies with ear rings and bows look cruel and chavvy.

Grown ups who love Harry Potter or Disney are weird.

People who judge people for liking things that they don't are weirder

Not everything will be ok and relentless Instagram friendly mantras about living in the moment and learning to dance in the rain are giving way to truly selfish, impulsive behaviours which are not feasible long term. Yes life is for living but do you really need another credit card, Lisa? And yes your child really does need you to pick them up on time. They shouldn't have to stand in the playground because you can't be arsed to leave Costa.

Roast Dinners are indeed white.

However as for plane outfits, I always choose something specific for the start of my holidays and do look at others on the plane to see if they have too!

Workout leggings should only be seen in the gym.

I’m probably going to get banned now for saying this but here goes….

I think the concept of a ‘god’ is as legitimate as garden fairies. I can’t believe how many adults worldwide actually believe. It would be ok but the problems different faiths cause are catastrophic.

It may be biological - people do not have a choice? Have you heard of a biological meme?

Wilko's is/was worth 10 of home bargains and B&M

I think you can see at the start (,first few months) of most relationships what will go wrong whether that's deal breaker level or mild annoyance. Too many people prioritise not being alone over finding someone they actually get on with and overlook the blindingly obvious.

Dogs belong outside

A lot of people say they're staying for the kids when they're really staying for the lifestyle.

MinervaMcGonagallsCat · 21/05/2024 13:47

Shaving your pubes is weird and unhealthy and men who prefer it or expect it are creepy.

DP says 'lycra is a privilege not a right'

And he is correct.

@NonPlayerCharacter definitely. Rather live in a gilded cage. They'll regret it.

But fairies are real.

The planet would be a far better place without humans.

Most people are lovely and you'll find you have quite a lot in common including those who you think you'll have nothing in common with.

That was me, brought up in a religious family, sent to a religious school and one day I thought I don’t actually believe this. It can be challenged and changed.

Thank you! Yes! Mostly the furniture is cheap and tacky, their sizing is not consistent across countries, and the obligatory 10 mile hike around the store is so annoying!

TypingoftheDead · 21/05/2024 14:00

I think faith should be mostly personal and private - ok if it’s shared respectfully, but far too often it’s not, and it certainly should not be used to help legislate against things people might find uncomfortable, but that others may genuinely need, or can’t change (abortion/birth control/sexuality etc).

Women (and men) who don’t want children aren’t selfish, but the reasons people cite for having children, often while berating child free people, tend to be selfish ones.

Ted Lasso was mediocre at best (I actually thought it was shite). If it’d been on a “mainstream” channel we wouldn’t have got as excited about it. The acting in it was awful - Hannah Waddingham/Juno/the Roy Keane one/the coach guy. 🤷‍♀️

The premis of Baby Reindeer Is horrifying I don't care if it was "his experience " they didn't disguise the woman at all and I think it was intentional and the people who are making memes about it should hang there heads in shame !
