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.

When i see a man in a suit, i have the urge to rip it off and do naughty things to them.

Flesh Tunnel, its not those minging things people stick in their ears to make huge holes is it?

BillStickersIsInnocent · 20/11/2013 19:10

Well quite golddigger Grin
That's why it's an unpopular opinion

ohtanmybum · 20/11/2013 19:10

Now, where to start?
Don't like
Uggs or any boot that resembles them
Dolphin/Orca shows/swimming with captive dolphins - for the brain dead and uncaring twerps
Any pet kept in a cage or tank - comment as above
Reality shows, BGT and XF
The 'got to have a glass of wine' mentality'
Getting legless as a leisure activity
Shopping as leisure activity
Those ruddy poncy 'stand out' names for those poor tiddlers on 'Baby Names'
'Haitch' 'Chillax' 'Wine-o-clock'
Stealth boasting/over sharing on FB (and even MN)
Anyone one who dislikes Aldi/Lidl (you know who you are)

To name but a very few.

All sport is boring. If you want to follow it fine but there should be no place in a national news bulletin for sports stories (especially golf which is the most pointless of all sports - hitting little white balls into holes and getting excited about it and thinking it's actually important).

Dogs should be strictly licensed. All of them.

Saturday night tv especially X Factor is mindless drivel. I loathe it and any of its ilk.

Lavenderhoney · 20/11/2013 19:11

SPSwoukdcatfishnev, he is hot! Its not the worst thing!

Ah, a big earring.

While most people wouldn't actually do anything if there sleb fantasy came a calling, I would evict DH and the kids to shag David Tennant.

FortyDoorsToNowhere · 20/11/2013 19:11

I don't think a dog should sleep in the owners bed, yuck

valiumredhead · 20/11/2013 19:12

I think that no bikes should be allowed on roadsGrin

FreudiansSlipper · 20/11/2013 19:12

i love Madonna

i think she is fantastic and hope she is still strutting her stuff on stage in fishnets and corset when she is in her 80's (not that i think she looks good i just love her attitude of not being held back)

SPsWouldCatFishNev · 20/11/2013 19:13

Lavender Bet he cries during and after. Grin Bet he folds his clothes as he takes them off too.

valiumredhead · 20/11/2013 19:13

Oh and I'd love to train as a homeopathGrin

monicalewinski · 20/11/2013 19:13

Forgot to say, I am also irrationally scared by wind farms - they are sinister.

Bunbaker · 20/11/2013 19:14

Women who have large families and then moan about how hard their life is. No-one held a gun to their heads and made them have so many.

I am not that interested in other people's children.

Most babies are not beautiful

Cats are more interesting to me than other people's children

Christmas is over-rated

Religion should be taught in schools (note, not just Christianity)

ilovesooty · 20/11/2013 19:14

There isn't enough football on TV.
Voting should be compulsory and people should be sufficiently well informed to decide who to vote for.

VerySmallSqueak · 20/11/2013 19:14

I believe in bringing back hanging for certain terrible crimes.

Mintyy · 20/11/2013 19:15

I love and adore the scent of Patchouli.

Ev1lEdna · 20/11/2013 19:15

Shock Christmas is amazing

VerySmallSqueak · 20/11/2013 19:16

I think it's ok sometimes to break some laws.

Lavenderhoney · 20/11/2013 19:17

SPS I bet he doesn't:) he is HOT I'm telling you. He might sing though, shit, never thought of that:)

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 20/11/2013 19:17

"Lovely Day"
"Oh, yes, lovely"

is enough.
I don't want an entire conversation about it, or particularly care how nice last Wednesday was .

wanderings · 20/11/2013 19:19

That the death penalty should be exist not for murderers, but for the "habitual criminals who accept arrest as an occupational hazard, and presumably accept imprisonment in the same casual manner".

KoalaFace · 20/11/2013 19:20

Mintyy who doesn't like Patchouli?! Shock

Highlander · 20/11/2013 19:21

ohtanmybum you are my twin.

What are your throughts on David Tennant? Wink

IsThatTrue · 20/11/2013 19:21

I don't want pets unless somebody else clears up their shit.

I don't like most of my friends children.

Newborn babies are all wrinkly and red and ugly.

Reality tv is pure bollocks and I judge those who watch it.

Anybody who thinks they are a better parent because of their birth/feeding/parenting choices are in need of a good slap.

Breast may not always be best.

People shouldn't interfere in things that don't concern them.

Oh I could go on.
