Pancakes are shit. So are Yorkshire puddings.

Brightburn · 24/04/2019 02:03

Friends (TV Show) is shit
Wine is vile
Trans women are NOT women and should not be allowed to compete in women's sports
I don't restrict screen time
Breast isn't always best

Brightburn · 24/04/2019 02:07

Oh and your pets aren't your children. If you love your pet as much as your child, then there's something wrong with you...

If there is no victim, then no crime has been committed

If my dogs don’t like someone then I trust their judgment.

I am surprised that the last thread survived! Everyone is entitled to an opinion

1.Constant pictures of people's kids/baby's and updates on everything they do on FB.
(I'm not anti kid or baby picture but people just seem to take apsoloutly LOADS)

  1. Really cheesy/corny videos of
people helping homeless and putting it in Social media (don't get me wrong it is lovely to see people helping out homeless but I really don't see why it's become a trend to film it and put it on SM. I think it potentionaly embarrases and degrades the people they are helping)

I'm guessing that by posting negative stuff on here, (some) posters are relieving stress, anger and frustration.

So, yeah: I despise narcissists with a passion because several of them ( 3 out of 4 in my life are women, btw!) have done untold damage to me and my loved ones. I understand that narcissists don't choose to be what they are and can't help themselves (mostly because they refuse to admit that they are narcissists) but their lack of empathy, selfishness and cruelty continue to astonish me.Sad

Transwomen shouldn't be allowed compete in womens sports. Have yet to see a logical argument as to why they should. And, thinking this does not make you trans phobic.

Children whose parents love them, whatever those parents are like, are massively lucky.

saoirse31 · 24/04/2019 03:15

Narcissists, yes to previous OP.

People who make everything all about them, are awful. The perpetually offended ... awful.

Whatistheworldcominto · 24/04/2019 03:18

Social housing isn't free. And it doesn't matter how many times you say it, it's not.

People on the lowest incomes aren't all lazy workshy scroungers, they just get paid less for their time because they're not valued by society.

You don't have a God given right to buy alcohol, and those who refuse to serve it aren't jumped up jobsworths, they are following the directives of someone who's probably never served a customer in their life. Oh and the law.

It's not ok to steal glasses, pictures, cups, salts and peppers or in fact anything from pubs, hotels and cafés. All you're doing is putting at risk the jobs of the people who work there.

A landlord isn't some sort of latter day saint that let's you live in their house, they're getting money in return for that.

Smoking is an addiction like any other, it's not a fun habit people do just to piss other people off.

It's not degrading to tip someone for good service, it's also not rude to not tip at all.

The government are the biggest problem in this country. Every party.

Pickleandparty · 24/04/2019 03:24

I actually also think it's really exciting time for politics Brexit or Not (Left or Right).

FishCanFly · 24/04/2019 03:47

People who give up pets because "they're expecting a baby" are unfit to be parents

Ferfeckssake · 24/04/2019 03:57

Spa days are often overpriced shite. And doesn't really work as punishment for unhelpful spouses.

alwayscrashinginthesamecar1 · 24/04/2019 03:57

Transwomen are men.

The UK is just as racist as Australia.

Facebook is great for staying in touch with people. Just block/delete everybody that puts up stupid shit, its easy.

Olives are vile.

SprinkleFairy · 24/04/2019 05:52

All organised religion is violent, misogynistic and a money making scam.

I like reading the daily mail.

Baby boomers are pampered hypocrites.

There's nothing wrong with reclining your seat on plane journeys.

toomuchtooold · 24/04/2019 05:57

On narcissism... if you know someone whose behaviour fits with the diagnostic criteria for NPD, there is nothing wrong with mentally categorising them as having NPD and basing your behaviour around them on the expectation that they are going to act like someone with NPD would. You can call that a hair diagnosis if you want, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck I'll be damned if I'm going to pretend I can't possibly know if it's a duck or not because I don't have a degree in psychiatry.

NPD does exist as a personality flaw ( for want of a better description) and anyone who says that it's not ' a thing' have never met anyone with it or had to deal with it.

JenniferJareau · 24/04/2019 06:41

Oh and my pets are my children. If you can't understand that, then there's something wrong with you...

The80sweregreat · 24/04/2019 06:49

Shivering, I can totally sympathise as a woman in my life / family is the same.

NotACleverName · 24/04/2019 06:50

Free speech is not “under attack.” Nobody owes you a platform.

Wow, @NC4Now, I am horrified by the Yorkshire pudding slander!

Gran22 · 24/04/2019 06:55

Working should be the norm for everyone unless there are genuine health or caring reasons for living entirely on benefits.

AntiSocialLOL · 24/04/2019 07:04

Being “considerate”usually means roll over and do what I say

squeekums · 24/04/2019 07:28

Breast is not best

Being a smoker don't make a person evil, it means they have an addiction

I can't take much a religious person says seriously. Not only do you support hate, homophobia, sexism, discrimination but then you hide behind the religion tag cos you don't have the guts to stand by your opinions. Plus thinking some mythical being runs the world makes me question your sanity. I liken religion to a cult, a pedofile ring, simply vile.

Contraception and abortion should be available for every woman, no hoops to jump through at a minimal cost, if not free.

Leggings are not pants. They should be worn under something.

Bit of an Aussie one but I don't give a toss about ANZAC day or any of the other war ceremony stuff we hold. No I will not give you money for Anzac day, especially when you hassle me as I'm walking into the shops.

People who follow fad diets and the so called super food trends are idiots. Enjoy being ripped of do you?

Slicedpineapple · 24/04/2019 07:57

Cats are a fucking pain and should not be allowed to roam free.

People that take up vaping when they have never smoked are odd.

Nobody wants to see your work out videos on social media, or your gym selfies. Unless you are a PT and that is how you promote your business.
