The responses on these threads are split into two camps and it’s patently obvious which is which.

You have the “taking part in the spirit” side and then the “I’m going to post what I think will whip people into a frenzy” camp.

It’s very useful!

Transwomen are women.

Income tax bands need to change:

Additional increased to 70%

The Christmas festive period should start on November 6th after bonfire night.

Harry Kane is overrated.

Baby Shark is a catchy tune!

LordNibbler · 06/10/2019 17:25

Transwomen are not women. Unpopular opinion and fact.

Tellmetruth4 · 06/10/2019 17:27

Fairground by Simply Red is a tune!

Dog owners are mostly selfish, delusional and poorly socialised. Those who leave dog shit in public places ought to be drowned in the stuff.

ElizaDee I mean they don't clean properly if at all, they are not hygienic, don't clean themselves properly, don't look after their belongings, don't clean their houses properly etc.

Or have habits that are dirty whilst pretending to be clean, ie put moon cup or toilet brush in the dishwasher. Use floor cloth on surfaces. Tip sick or potty into kitchen sink. Share flannels and or toothbrushes.and so on.

Most basic one is not rinsing dishes after sitting in dirty soapy water.

I have come across these things repeatedly so think generally most people are quite dirty, ( ie live like pigs, which may be an exaggeration but springs to mind.)

I miss rock/indie music dominating the charts. The current dance trends really grate on me.

Marzipan is disgusting

There should be a fat tax. Over a certain BMI you should have to pay extra for healthcare, plane seats etc.etc.

@KatherineJaneway

The more fruit, the better the pizza. These are my top three in ascending order

Hawaiian
Tropical veggie - cheese, tomato, oregano, pine nuts, sultanas and a glacier cherry for good measure
Tropical - prawn, bacon, pineapple and banana

"I don't like x" is not an opinion...

motherheroic · 06/10/2019 17:32

People who think they are shaking the table with their 'unpopular opinions' are dull.

-The ones who pushed us into Brexit are the ones who will actually benefit the most so survival of the richest.
-"Men" don't have babies or periods.

  • Season 8 of game of thrones was terrible.
  • Instamums sell their children's privacy for cheap tat and their photos will end up in the hands of wrong people.
-Fresh cut flowers are awesome. -Letting your child become overweight is cruel. (said as a former overweight child). -You can get away with murder if your rich enough.

Christmas is not "over" on boxing day. (I do think epiphany is stretching it a bit though).

Grown ups who can't/ won't drive without good reason are a bit pathetic.

If you want to help close the gender pay gap, don't take a whole year maternity leave and come back 3 days a week.

Sherry is yummy and not just for old people.

Cushions are annoying and pointless.

ElizaDee · 06/10/2019 17:35

@flirtygirl, I don't think most people do those things, most of those are proper minging.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 06/10/2019 17:36

Christmas is over on Boxing Day. Pantomime in January is just wrong.

Happiestdays · 06/10/2019 17:36

Being in a dom/sub relationship is incredibly liberating. My dom is so respectful and I love him taking control in the bedroom.

flirtygirl · 06/10/2019 17:36

pigeononthegate I totally agree. No reason not to pick up your dogs shit.

danmthatonestakentryanotheer · 06/10/2019 17:36

Pet's are not "babies".."fur" or otherwise and those who own them are not their "mummy" or "daddy".

Itallt0omuch · 06/10/2019 17:36

*I think life, its quality and the opportunities it offers in 2019 are fantastic in the UK.

I love being a woman, being married and have never felt disadvantaged. I have a great job, am well paid, like work, AND have had two children. I like getting my hair done, make-up, perfume and having nice clothes. I like spending money on myself and I'm worth it.*

Lol. The second paragraph makes the first make much more sense.

PuppyMonkey · 06/10/2019 17:37

Are we taking bets on what time this thread will get deleted yet? I say about 9.50pm after people have had a drink.Grin

My unpopular opinion (that I post on all of these threads) is that gravy makes your dinner taste of horrid boring meaty damp. Vile stuff.

frumpety · 06/10/2019 17:39

If your pain score truly is 10 , you wouldn't be able to leave the ward to have a cigarette. I think this may be because the pain score has not been properly explained to you.

Itallt0omuch · 06/10/2019 17:39

If you want to help close the gender pay gap, don't take a whole year maternity leave and come back 3 days a week.

What if you have twins unexpectedly and can't afford childcare?

I thought this was unpopular opinions not stupid people airing their prejudices.

Justmythoughts43 · 06/10/2019 17:39

Meghan has the actress role of a lifetime (until they get divorced) and Harry is naive and entitled. Losing his mum at such a young age is not an excuse.

EntropyRising · 06/10/2019 17:40

I don't like Beyonce either.
