For me it’s how disgusting it is to wash dishes in a sink or basin full of water. It turns my stomach a bit. The dishes have to be washed in fresh, running water.

That people who really dislike dogs are a bit joyless. Controversial on Mumsnet I know.

Men should always pay for the first date in het relationships. If a man doesn't pay or expects to go halves right off the bat then it can be a sign he's either paranoid about being used for his money, or just mean or wierd about money in general... both are absolutely awful in a relationship. Even if you are a highly indeoebdant person you as a woman, are at risk of being made pregnant by that man if you are having piv sex. I know as someone who has fallen pregnant whilst on two types of contraception. And had a very difficult surprise pregnancy where I lost all my income. I can't think of anything worse than being stick in that position with a man who's wierd about money and can't be there for you if something like that happens. Plus on a deeper level it's indicative of main character syndrome.. a lack of give.
I don't care how dated my view is thought to be, I'll be telling my daughters to be highly alert for signs of uptoghtness with money from men.. and I do think inviting a girl on a date and then expecting her to pay is one of those signs.

I'm also with all the people who wash up under running water.

I also think wearing socks in bed is grim. Even clean ones. It's irrational but I just think it's gross.

Mid week weddings are always a bit shit.

Life, in some form, exists on planets other than Earth

The Beatles were vastly overrated

Towels are much nicer when tumble dried

Mayo is the devils ejaculate

@FirstFallopians Massively cheaper though. Not everybody is loaded! 😀

The Holiday is a shite film.

RosesAndHellebores · 25/12/2024 00:03

Leopards don't change their spots.

All female teams can be incredibly toxic.

Get engaged, get married, have children - in that order.

If work is available people shouldn't be able to refuse to work more than 16 hpw to preserve their universal credit.

the death penalty is kinder to the recipient than life imprisonment. which is why I oppose it.

That comments about whether Die Hard is a christmas film or not are mind numbingly dull and made by people who have no actual imagination or original thoughts of their own. Who fucking cares? Either watch it or don't, it just doesn't matter.

Nothatgingerpirate · 25/12/2024 00:13

That children take everything and give nothing.
Never had any, very happy.

Reading is the greatest form of communication, therapy, and education.

That the title "Mrs" should no longer exist.

All titles are superfluous which are not professional ones

BashfulClam · 25/12/2024 00:19

Brussel Sprouts are disgusting no matter what fancy way you try and cook the stupid little devil bogeys!

Ladamesansmerci · 25/12/2024 00:20

Religion (particularly institutionalised religion) is bogus, and I can't comprehend why so many people never question it more. And that's before we even talk about the real world impact on women, etc.

Eating animal products is cruel. If you understand what happens and choose to do it anyway, whatever, but let's not pretend there is a such thing as ethical farming.

Things like Brexit and support for Farage are fundamentally issues related to class, and unfortunately immigrants are used as a scapegoat by the right.

People who refuse to vaccinate their children are selfish idiots and should be fined.

If people want to martyr themselves at Christmas, they only have themselves to blame

Controversial, but topical……

Die Hard is not a Christmas movie.

I’ll die on that hill.

You mean you'll die hard on that hill 🤣

That's a weird hard line.

But yay - go you.

TwilightCat · 25/12/2024 00:21

Small talk shouldn’t exist. It basically means pointless sounds to fill the void of silence because for some reason silence is awkward. I’m not talking about idle chit chat, not every conversation needs to be deep and meaningful. But I mean that meaningless small talk where no one really cares but feels compelled to make it anyways.

tobee · 25/12/2024 00:22

We pander too much to fussy eaters.

Ohh, you're spikey.

So much to work through there.

Religion

Brexit

Non-vegetarianism

Vaccination

So many conversations.

Only two genders exist - male and female.

That warm butter (aka left out of the fridge) tastes like vomit. Put it back in the fridge

Currently watching this because I didn’t fancy Love Actually. Agree it’s crappy… hence I’m on mn.

No friend

Only two sexes exist.

Male

Female

Gender is weird social construct.
