@PhilSwagielka I’m an Arsenal fan so most of my footballing opinions are extremely unpopular 🤣

CAG12 · 06/10/2019 20:33

@jacqueshammer not at all. Its my opinion. You dont have to agree, or like it.

If ive described you and you're happy doing it, then carry on 🤷🏼‍♀️

YeOldeTrout · 06/10/2019 20:36

Last time I posted on one of these threads, my msg got deleted. I said "I don't mind people using word X". X is commonly said by people, but apparently that tolerance was too offensive.

¯\(ツ)

Aardvark? Corset? Gusset? Mandolin?

You haven’t. That’s rather the point. You’re either on it yourself to make such a judgement or making a judgement without base. If that’s how you like to form your opinions then carry on 🤷‍♀️

People who can only enjoy themselves by drinking alcohol are tiresome.

There is nothing more dull than being out with someone who gets drunk.

CAG12 · 06/10/2019 20:45

@JacquesHammer I was on it took myself off it because I found it boring. Is that ok?

Chosennone · 06/10/2019 20:48

Most Labour voters are now middle class, liberal, champagne socialists. They do not speak for the working classes.

PhilSwagielka · 06/10/2019 20:50

@Spoonsmum I take it you're enjoying Spurs' wobbliness at the moment?

Another unpopular football opinion: I don't care about the CL or La Liga.

formerbabe · 06/10/2019 20:52

@YeOldeTrout

Does it begin with the letter "c" and rhyme with lav?

PhilSwagielka · 06/10/2019 20:54

I hate Prosecco.

Venger · 06/10/2019 20:56

I'm guessing it was either the R-word commonly used in the past to describe people with developmental disabilities or the N-word, both of which are zero.tolerance and will always be deleted.

ToffeePennie · 06/10/2019 20:59

Slimming world/weight watchers/the Atkins diet and any other diet fads are utter bullshit. You will just end up fat and broke.
Anything MLM should be made illegal. It’s become super popular (in my circle at least) to be signed up to at least one MLM (usually scentsy). It’s gross, don’t try to sell me your overpriced shite.

saveallyourkisses · 06/10/2019 21:11

It's not seeming like such an unpopular opinion but I totally agree with Beyoncé's music being shite. Destiny's Child had some great songs, but anything present day she has done is woefully bad.

People who post Facebook statuses of just a sad face are attention-seeking morons. I no longer use Facebook, so I hope this isn't still a regular occurrence. It's even worse when another person replies to that status with 'what's up babes?' and original poster says 'I'll PM you babes....' AngryFuck. Off.

Spoonsmum · 06/10/2019 21:14

@PhilSwagielka indeed I am BUT I remain mindful that it could happen to anyone lol

UrkStarkadder · 06/10/2019 21:33

Margot was better than Barbara. And I’d much prefer a Jerry to a Tom Blush

batvixen123 · 06/10/2019 21:39

Women who apparently emerge from toilet cubicles with their hands dripping with menstrual blood to wash their mooncup in the communal sink sound absolutely gross to me and I would far far rather share a toilet with a nice normal hygienic trans woman.

(Trans toilet threads always seem to invite these weird women who think it's normal to do this)

HotSince82 · 06/10/2019 21:42

The illuminati exist and are paedophilic satan worshippers.

Epstein was suicided as he was about to sing like a canary re the Clintons/ Prince Andrew et al.

Climate change is being used as a measure to conveniently distract from what the powers that be.

5G is carcinogenic and a means of propagating mass mind control.

Gin is shit.

StillCoughingandLaughing · 06/10/2019 21:47

Yes, we should all cut back on the use of plastic, but posting little crying face emojis because someone bought their child a Kinder Egg is pathetic.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 06/10/2019 21:48

Doctor Who should not have been made a woman in the latest series

This ^

All shades of wrong to have a female Dr Who

Rugbylove · 06/10/2019 21:50

Women who get pregnant before getting married are taking a huge risk. "Partners" is overused for what these men are.

CremeEggThief · 06/10/2019 21:54

Blended families can never be as good for children as loving, reasonably functional original families. There's a lot of bollocks trotted out about the more people the child/ren have in their lives to love them, the better; when relationships break up and parents 'move on' with other partners who have children too.

Most people don't know how to wash up properly, clean, or make decent tea and coffee. Because they just don't care enough about the smaller details. Too many people have an "As long as it's warm and wet" approach to hot drinks.Sad

I see animals as equal to humans and it puzzles and upsets me that most people don't. I would help children, elderly and vulnerable people, and animals, in that order; before helping most adults.

MintyMabel · 06/10/2019 21:59

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

These threads are always that. For example : You cannot change your biological sex. (or some variant thereof) has now been posted half a dozen times, showing it isn’t really an unpopular opinion (as the “feminism” board is also testament to) but, give them any opportunity and they’ll crowbar it in to any thread they can.

Mookie81 · 06/10/2019 22:00

I'm a nursery teacher in a school who has had to deal with an inordinate amount of shit and piss the last 3 weeks. Toilet train your fucking kids please! You have that 1 child (maybe 1 or 2 others), I have 70 altogether so I cant fucking train them all! Then parents have the cheek to moan about maths and literacy, like I've had time to work on that when your little darling has blown the back out of their trousers for the 3rd fucking time that day and you keep sending them in pull-ups!
Also- pull-ups aren't magical training pants, they're FUCKING NAPPIES! If you haven't started training until 3 (and theres no SN) then you're fucking lazy.
And breathe...Angry

Agreed. And plastic straws should not be banned.
