NC (not for this) but I'm long-standing MNer (Pom bear, naice ham...)

This might ruin the whole concept of AIBU but sometimes people pop up with opinions that I am shocked by, not because of what they are but just because they are so marginal. (SPs Cliff Richard obsession, for example?)

So, whilst encouraging you all to go forth and spread your weird and wonderful thoughts all over AIBU and elsewhere, what really unpopular opinions do you hold?

I have a couple of corkers, first one is that Kanye West however much of a knob he is actually is a genius.

Sorry for hijack -

Daniel Craig is not at all attractive
I never got 'the office' or Ricky Gervais in general
Dr Who is crap

SPsWouldCatFishNev · 20/11/2013 18:05

Crimson Agree. They look like either potatoes or old men

BOF · 20/11/2013 18:05

My possibly unpopular opinion is that these threads bring all sorts of petty racists and general bigots out of the woodwork and never end well...

Why us that unusual that your son can go where he wants in his own house?

Rhubarbgarden · 20/11/2013 18:05

I prefer cats to children.

cloggal · 20/11/2013 18:06

Yy to Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Depp being creepy, if good actors.

I too am a bit squeamish about pets. Irrational and unpopular but there it is :)

"Did you mean to be so rude?" is a shit comeback and anyone who advises another MNetter to use it, should be smacked to death with a bag of wasps.

Trick or treating is begging with menaces and ccarol singing isn't t much better

I care about my DH's opinion about me!!!

(Reading a lot of threads over the years on here you would thing that your DH was the enemy!)

SmallBee · 20/11/2013 18:08

I tried watching both The Wire & Breaking Bad but after a few episodes I found them morning and stopped watching them. They're both dull. I even feel asleep during the wire.

cloggal · 20/11/2013 18:09

*boring

AlwaysInBed · 20/11/2013 18:09

I prefer hamsters (or guinea pigs) to kids. Apart from my own.

My 13y has a boyfriend and I'm not stopping her. As long as they're both safe and happy, then meh.

I don't like Daniel Craig.

Doctor Who is a bit boring.

NigellaLaw5on · 20/11/2013 18:09

There should be a limit to how many children you can have if you cannot support them without the states help and without working.

IsSpringSprangedYet · 20/11/2013 18:10

usual and BOF I agree. I'm already raging at one or two of these. Why why WHY did I start reading?

reelingintheyears · 20/11/2013 18:10

These threads never, ever end well. Grin

MardyBra · 20/11/2013 18:11

I like Barry Manilow.

I don't like dogs and I feel very queasy when people kiss animals.

usualsuspect · 20/11/2013 18:11

It won't stay light hearted.

All the bigots will crawl out of the MN woodwork.

cloggal · 20/11/2013 18:11

Oh balls. Should I get it deleted? I was honestly just a bit bored, didn't think.

MardyBra · 20/11/2013 18:12

I think Mumsnet is overrated. Wink

Titsalinabumsquash · 20/11/2013 18:12

I don't like the idea of pets.

They're cute and fluffy etc but the thought of cleaning up more shit, piss and dealing with fur and slobber and them licking their arses then your face makes me want to vom. People that go nuts for their pets baffle me.
