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.

I think people who leave dog shit in the street, if caught, should have their dogs taken away and be banned from owning animals. In fact the dog shit problem is so bad there I live I think people should have to apply for a licence to own a dog and be fined ££££ and prosecuted if they are caught letting their mutts foul without cleaning it up. Filthy slovenly bastards.

Roller mum - wtf with the tectonic plates? Are you Charles Hapgood? How do you explain pretty every earthquake and volcano on earth??

Famzilla · 20/11/2013 18:28

I post angry aggressive statuses on Facebook about how I have no interest in seeing people's legs in the bath, hearing about how "great" everyone's lives are, looking at pictures of their roast dinner at Christmas etc etc instead of just DELETING THE DAMN THING AND GETTING ON WITH MY LIFE.

No, I keep it because I love hating people. Wtf is wrong with me.

Heathcliff27 · 20/11/2013 18:28

I hate x factor
I welcome the snow/wintery weather with open arms
I dont like dogs
I dont speak to my parents and i like it that way

BoysiesBack · 20/11/2013 18:28

Killpeppa, I completely agree about mayo, it is disgusting.

And, just to make sure all of MN hate me/think I'm the weirdest person ever. Hummus is even more vile.

Daddypigsgusset · 20/11/2013 18:28

My 8 and 5 year old dc have been training in thai boxing since they were 2. My eldest fights competitively. They have been told to use their skills in this area if anyone hits them first. Don't think anybody would dare though

VerySmallSqueak · 20/11/2013 18:28

I don't trust the police.

Lilithmoon · 20/11/2013 18:29

Worra did you mean to be so rude?

;)

ShirakawaKaede · 20/11/2013 18:29

Agree with bunsnroses wholeheartedly!

Secretly think the song "I Fell In Love With A Starship Trooper" is musical genius.

Think Brad Pitt is grim & can't understand why anyone fancies him. Not as clever as he thinks he is, either.

PuppyMonkey · 20/11/2013 18:30

I think Gogglebox is totally unfunny and what's more it's scripted unfunny.

I don't like reggae.

LuciusMalfoyisSmokingHot · 20/11/2013 18:31

All reality shows are shit.

Parents who abandoned their children, leaving it all to the other parent should get a criminal record if they dont pay and take responsibility.

I have more.

MimsyBorogroves · 20/11/2013 18:31

I'm not too keen on other people's children under the age of
8 or so. I never know what to say/do and feel awkward. My own are bearable most of the time

I do, however, like teenagers. They amuse me, and once they see you as someone who can help/not judge them they (generally) are interesting to be around. Of course, that's based entirely on my own experience and I'm sure there are some who aren't like that.

Greensleeves · 20/11/2013 18:31

I think Thai food is rank

DurhamDurham · 20/11/2013 18:32

I hate cats
I hate crocs
I hate dark hair roots with blond hair
I hate dirty cracked heels on display in sandals
I hate reverse snobbery almost as much as I hate snobbery

I may be back with more Grin

Greggs Steak Bakes are the shiz!

As are their iced buns.

I love my MIL Grin

walkinghaphazardlybystarlight · 20/11/2013 18:32

I think little boys look silly in pink dresses.

KungFuBustle · 20/11/2013 18:32

I judge people who watch X Factor and Towie.
I think my son has been a doddle to raise so far because I've done a darn good job, nothing to do with luck.
If you buy branded food "Heinz beans" etc, I secretly think you're well off and I'm a wee bit jealous.

ShirakawaKaede · 20/11/2013 18:33

Bagels are massively overrated. It's just a savoury doughnut that's on the point of going stale.

Lavenderhoney · 20/11/2013 18:33

I think James blunt is hot.

I have never seen its a wonderful life, nor Star Wars and have no urge to change that. Or that dr who thing everyone raves about.

It used to really piss me off to see adults reading Harry potter on the tube. Its for kids. Leave them to their kid stuff. You don't like tellytubbies? - well no shit, its for babies and such like.

Victoria beckham seems alright to me.

I don't see anything wrong with FWB or one night stands. Not now of course, am married:)

Rollermum · 20/11/2013 18:34

Googlebox is cropped?! I don't even...

Sorry, to make it clear I do believe in tectonic plates. I just don't understand them so adopted this stance as a thought experiment. It makes it easier to deal with. I'll go now climbs in Tardis.

SPsWouldCatFishNev · 20/11/2013 18:34

worse thing I have read on the thread. Be ashamed

KatieScarlett2833 · 20/11/2013 18:34

I think the monarchy should be abolished.
Macca Thumbs Aloft should be sent out to pasture.
I fancy Jeremy Clarkson in an odd, sick way. I know I really shouldn't, but I do Confused

mollypup · 20/11/2013 18:34

What's with all the pet hating?! Confused

I much prefer my two rescue cats and golden retriever to the vast majority of people!

Greensleeves · 20/11/2013 18:35

I think little girls look silly in pink dresses
I think parents who send their children to private school are pathetic
I think people who send their kids to boarding school are neglectful
I find flesh tunnels utterly disgusting and avoid looking at people who have them
