Mine is everywhere I see everyone has a Pandora charm bracelet on.
Whilst I own the bow necklace and earrings.. I can't see the appeal in the charms :/ yet apparently they're the best thing according to my best friend.

Painting your house beige before you sell it, because 'most people don't have the imagination to see beyond colours', makes me wonder what you are covering up. And, no, I am not buying a live style, I am buying a house.

That it is not acceptable to stay in bed while your secondary school age dcs leave the house- what kind of example is that ?

To think foreign food is inedible muck (this includes rice, pasta and many other food items). I'm fully aware that I am probably alone with this one or at least in a very tiny minority.

That people who think getting a degree makes them intelligent are wrong. I met plenty of thick graduates before I retired.

I love chain coffee shops. I love all the "gimmicky" coffee that's mostly sugar rather than coffee. I'd also rather drink a big milkshake than a glass of wine.Grin

Your unenforceable "rule" wasn't mentioned in the OP so I shall ignore it.

I believe people who are pro-choice but against the death penalty Or anti-choice but support the death penalty are hypocrites and I'll never respect any opinion they have on politics if I think they're a hypocrite.

That Radley bags are twee and old-ladyish.

That it's rude to ask people to remove their shoes when visiting.

That animals and animal products are not food/clothing/products.

That Prince Harry is very very physically unattractive and that if he was'nt a Royal he would struggle for any womans interest.
Some people think hes average, I dont I think hes a dog.

WhalesOfYore · 24/03/2018 18:08

That the inability to tolerate unpopular opinions is a sign of moral and intellectual degeneracy.

I don`t like Beyonce or Kylie Minogue, or The Beatles, or Tom bloody Jones ( he just drives me mad). The hip thrusting makes me feel ill.

That car seats/boosters for older children are a big fat con, perpetrated by car seat manufacturers.

Surely they stop the seat belt going across your short kid's face??

There is never an excuse for whipping out a potty in public - or changing a nappy near where people are eating.
Most UK voters had no opinion either way on Brexit until the referendum campaign.

MongerTruffle · 24/03/2018 18:18

The UK should stop Brexit and join the Eurozone and the Schengen Area.
Alcohol and tobacco should be banned.
I love coffee shop chains, and huge smartphones and TVs.

That its fine to be promiscuous. If you are going to shag about, do it later. Sex is better as a Woman ages and you know what you want and can handle. We are socially conditioned to withhold sex and to think that having to have a relationship is the right way of doing things.

It's been said but we no longer have an excuse why we exploit animals the way we do.

We can't justify not taking to the streets over how the austerity measures are literally killing people and causing widespread poverty.

We should all hang our heads in shame that there are people starving etc to death, anywhere.

The majority of people carry around a lot of hatred/bitterness (hence why we have the above issues) and we should all be working to remove our issues.

Redshoebox yeah, they grow into thick Adults and need to STFU. One of them leads America, others may or may not be on here.

Being PTS is not the worst thing that can happen to an animal, even if it isn't seriously ill or in pain.

Feminism is a good thing.

Alternative medicine is snake oil.

Selective education is a disaster.

It's easier to make bread by hand than in a machine.

Children are so unlikely to be abducted by strangers it's not worth worrying about.

You are not "collecting" Pandora beads, you are buying them.

It's not a toilet, it's a loo.

Good telly is just as educational for children as reading.

There is no such thing as paranormal activity- of any sort.

Leftovers are lovely.

Mrs Brown's Boys is not funny.

Children do not need constant access to water.

Swimming lessons are a con

Stringofpearls · 24/03/2018 18:24

L shaped sofas, fine if you like them but they're just not for me.

Alcohol added to desserts only serves to completely ruin them.

I expect they were embarrassed that you had to state the patently bleeding obvious in such a way as to think you were being edgy. This is what I mean:

I don't think anyone claims all kids who aren't achieving at school have a condition.

And teachers are in a pretty good position to judge who has a 'condition' or not. Better than you, I'd hazard. Especially since they (unlike you) don't call kids 'thick'. Or talk about 'conditions'.

BertrandRussell · 24/03/2018 18:26

Oh, and allergies and phobias aside, fussy eaters over the age of 10 should just get over themselves.

MorningsEleven · 24/03/2018 18:29

Mrs Brown's Boys is not funny

I genuinely don't know anyone who would disagree. I've had funnier cases of piles.

The thread Police can fuck off, although that might not be a minority view.

When I go out I want a seat. I would rather go to a different bar rather than stand. Oh and nightclubs are hell on earth
