Some of these more RL unpopular than MN unpopular...
I worked a lot harder for my Oxford joint-honours degree than friends at other RG universities did for theirs.
Nelson Mandela did a huge disservice to his country in failing to take control of the AIDS issue sensibly and while it was still containable.
One of the best things about meeting my husband at university and marrying relatively young is not having to go on any more dates.
Living in a shared house post university is not all modern and fun it is soul destroying and at least one of the people you live with will be a psychopath, or worse, the kind of fuckwit who leaves a laptop by an open basement window. It is also not cheap because you will spend a significant amount sitting in cafes/pubs bitching about your housemates purely to avoid going back to them.
The public sector pensions offer is unsustainable and needs to be reformed but I'd still take it up again in a shot if I went back in to the CS.
Girls/Ladies/Hen nights are unbelievably awful and I curse every penny I spend thinking how much more I'd like to be getting a takeaway and watching a decent film.
Most contemporary lit fic is unbelievably awful.
Woman's Hour is unbearably smug and the book narrators ruin whatever was decent in the first place.
Parents of children allowed to leave the table/run around in a cafe or restaurant ought to be slapped for a)being so daft as to put their precious offspring in the line of hot drinks etc b)invading other people's space.
A holiday abroad where you do not book internal travel or hotels in advance but do so as you get there is not "going off the beaten track" or "being a traveller not a tourist" just a more haphazard and occassionally more exciting way of doing the same thing.
I am not setting your child a bad example if we are strangers and I am smoking in a park or outside a restaurant. There is something wrong with your parenting if you think the influence of a momentary encounter with a perfect stranger is that pernicious.
Most working late in jobs is down to disorganisation or presenteeism rather than the demands of the 21st century.
