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 find Caitlin Moran stomach churningly irritating.

I'm tolerant of Gwyneth Paltrow.

I sometimes give cash to homeless people and don't care if they spend if they spend it on drink as who am i to judge what gets them through when it's freezing cold and miserable on the street.

I don't care that there are gender divided sections for clothes, toys etc. if your dd wants a toy car just go and pick it up for the boys section. Likewise if your ds wants a pink shirt with flowers on it, you know where to find it. Just because it is in a boys or girls section doesn't mean you are not allowed to buy it.

I've always wanted to express this opinion :)

Oh and I think that parents should pay more tax than childfree people as they cost the system more.

Eastwickwitch · 20/11/2013 18:46

I hate solar panels.

LuciusMalfoyisSmokingHot · 20/11/2013 18:46

Southern Comfort and bold black cherry coke are the fucking nuts.

I find women who comment on bf threads who ff really annoying.

Its always the same woe is me bullshit! I tried to bf but my nipples were eaten by a dingo....

rpitchfo · 20/11/2013 18:47

That everyone should be steralised at birth until such time as they can prove they are fit to be a parent (i'm generally pretty left wing expect for this ridiculous belief).

mumofbeautys · 20/11/2013 18:47

I really , really , really dislike holly Willoughby !

treadheavily · 20/11/2013 18:48

That receptionists in countries where English is the main language should speak English. Teachers too.

TheXxed · 20/11/2013 18:48

Let me clarify, I find women who suggested ff as an answer on bf threads annoying.

I don't think that immigrants should be entitled to benefits or social housing until they've lived here for at least five years.

I don't believe that gastric bands should be available on the NHS. Get off your arse and do some exercise, stop eating crap and don't expect the tax payer to foot the bill for your lack of will- power.

harticus · 20/11/2013 18:49

I don't trust people with lots of friends - I see it as a character flaw.

silverten · 20/11/2013 18:49

Vodka- I can't see the point of drinking something that tastes so nasty for fun. I think the only reason anyone drinks it is to get pissed quickly and that seems really pointless.

AfricanExport · 20/11/2013 18:49

May not be popular... Okay won't be popular.

I think the demise of natural selection / survival of the fittest is detrimental to the human race in the long term.

and no, I don't think I would have been one of the 'chosen' ones. Wink

That sticking DD's held down the loo after she flings water in my face from her wet hands, is totally the done thing.

CoffeeTea103 · 20/11/2013 18:50

It's obvious when posters who starts some threads want a pat on the back.

I can't take people with facial piercings, tattoos and funky stripes hair seriously.

Skinny jeans don't make you look skinny. Some people should not wear them.

SomeDizzyWhore1804 · 20/11/2013 18:52

I think Sophie Ellis Bextor had some good tunes.

SoldAtAuction · 20/11/2013 18:52

I think people are far too quick to involve the school in everything. The school is there for educating your children, not sorting out stuff that happens out side of school.
I think people need to put themselves out more to contribute to society. No one wants to help out or volunteer, but everyone wants to complain about how its 'not like it used to be'

PuppyMonkey · 20/11/2013 18:52

Oh yes, also hate ciabatta. Grim stuff.

Daddypigsgusset · 20/11/2013 18:53

I hate tattoos on women. They are vile however small/cute/ alternative you think they are. Yuk

VerySmallSqueak · 20/11/2013 18:53

I think people should have an energy useage limit within their homes,if they have no exceptional circumstances.

If you exceed your limit,the lights go out till the next day.

SomeDizzyWhore1804 · 20/11/2013 18:53

Oh and I don't think cartography can be an exact science. I reckon some of it must be made up. Geography teacher husband shouts me down when I voice this Grin

CiderBomb · 20/11/2013 18:53

I think tha Benedict Cumberbatch looks like a buttock with eyes.

LuciusMalfoyisSmokingHot · 20/11/2013 18:53

I want to eat Peppa Pig with barbeque sauce.

Highlander · 20/11/2013 18:53

Tatoos look cheally cheap.

Men are so much easier to deal with when they are fed (applies to home and work situations).
