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.

I can never understand when people say that babygros are much easier than outfits for young babies. I hated the endless poppers, which wriggly babies seem to unpop before you get to the end. Nice stretchy top or dress and leggings are much quicker and easier to put on and off.

I judge my well off friends who never buy anything new for their babies, everything is 2nd hand and it looks it.

There is not enough live football on mainstream TV channels.
The eurovision song contest is one of the highlights of the year.
Single people are discriminated against, excluded and ripped off on a regular basis.
If you never manage to gain employment that inspires you, you've missed out.
If you give to the homeless it's their business how they spend the money.

Beyonce is overrated
The increasing popularity of Drag Race etc is irritating beyond belief

That weed should be kept illegal

I dislike wine and gin.

I’m not interested in and don’t care about Ant & Dec. I don’t watch their show and never have.

That the political left has completely lost the plot, and that its current obsession with identity politics and hierarchies of victimhood will destroy it.

Labour was set up by the unions to represent the economic interests of ordinary working people in parliament. It needs to get back to doing exactly that.

People who say that being a SAHP is the most challenging job around have never done a properly challenging job.

I like you @BertrandRussell !!!

People who home school there children are 1. Religious nut jobs or 2. Hippies

I can’t stand fake blonde hair because of the roots and the upkeep of it.

I have no issue in telling off other people’s children.

controlled crying is fabulous and it works.

My kids are not expected to do jobs in the house during term time.

Adele is highly overrated, apostrophes are important, egg sandwiches should never have been invented, dogs are a right bloody effort and make a mess, cheap instant coffee isn't OK - ever.

catcher in the rye was even shitter

That the contraceptive pill would eventually lead to adverse health consequences despite the whole medical community saying for decades that it was perfectly healthy and only now is there a grudging admittance that yes indeed long term exposure to it can increase risks of breast cancer etc...

Also, I think it's funny how the connection between taking the pill and weight gain in women was consistently denied by a patronising medical community (silly woman, you've put on weight because you're now in a relationship and you're happy! ffs). Only now they have been testing the male pill and are finding lo and behold that it causes weight gain in men, so of course it's a thing because MEN are experiencing it.

Ice cream is overrated.

EarlGreyT · 24/03/2018 23:03

@Caprinihahahaha
I was going to say the same thing. There is at least one of these threads a week. The same things always come up (posted by a series of different posters) which suggests the opinions are not that unusual.

FlashTheSloth · 24/03/2018 23:05

I think you should be able to have a partner, be settled and married and have a good life together, but as things get stagnant or you just don't feel attracted to them but don't want to split, you should be able to have meaningless sex with other people. Being with 1 person for many, many, many, many years can be tough!

People drink far too much and there is too much reliance on alcohol. I'd love to have my friends over for an evening in, natter and a laugh with tea and snacks, but it would be pointless me ever suggesting it because no alcohol would be involved.

Rough people make me uncomfortable.

SaucyJack · 24/03/2018 23:06

That vaping is well cool, and that a person walking around puffing out a big strawberry flavoured cloud is living their best life.

SenorBork · 24/03/2018 23:07

Changing Tatum is not an attractive man. He's only marginally better looking than Sloth from the Goonies, but because he has a good body and can dance he's considered a sex god. Wouldn't touch him with yours...

SenorBork · 24/03/2018 23:08

And iPad autocorrect can sod off too.

Forevertired19 · 24/03/2018 23:14

I'll add another Grin
I think public smoking on a pathway should be illegal around pushchairs and vulnerable people with chest conditions.
People should stick to designated smoking areas.

I also really love Jeremy Corbyn and not just for his politics.
I think he's hilarious.

I think Pandora jewellery is the worst idea I've ever heard! I feel like everyone buys the same jewellery that everyone else is wearing and the same crappy charms! No thanks!
I think that you shouldn't have a dog if you don't pick all of its shit up. Obviously most people don't agree with that as I've never seen a pavement where you can walk more than 100 metres without seeing shit strewn all over it!
