High waisted trousers with crop tops
Lip liner that goes over the top of cupid's bow

Wow 😯
Things always come and go in fashion !
And young people will always be cool no matter what they wear or do or if it’s been done before it’s a life cycle and I do remember thinking I was cool many moons ago !
Enjoy what u like x

Cockapoos? I doubt anyone will feel 'embarrassed' by having a cockapoo will they? (I don't have one btw)

@BluebellsGreenbells

Can I add over processed shit?

Cakes filled with 2 family bags of smarties topped with maltezers with Jaffa cakes and whipped cream and a hand full of jelly babies

Milkshakes containing 3 Mars bars and a Milky Way whipped cream and a flake and sprinkles

Jeez makes me weep!

I see you have met my ex mil she also makes "cheesecake" which basically goes chocolate chocolate chocolate cream cream (small amount of cream cheese) topped with chocolate

Luminescent veneers from Turkey.

I keep seeing these hideous clocks all over Rightmove. What is the point of them?

I'd like to see gardens revert to being places to relax, listen to birds and enjoy a bit of greenery instead of being turned into full on entertainment zones with bars and hot tubs and noisy home cinemas. I want less noise, not more.

Im also hoping that wood burning stoves in towns will go the way of leaded petrol and indoor smoking. Ban them. I may be a miserable sod but that's what I want.

They might well come to feel embarrassed that they shelled out thousands of pounds for one.

Men wearing far too tight super skinny jeans with a ridiculously long crew neck T-shirt that’s about down to their knees. Finishing the outfit with a gross pair of slip on shoes and no socks. VOMIT 🤮

‘Brushed up’ eyebrows.

nose and lip piercings. PLEASE.

What are “mass cushions”?

Foolingaround · 26/03/2021 18:46

I keep seeing cruises and wood burners being mentioned but not aeroplanes? Is there a difference?
I am pretty ignorant about the environmental comparisons I must admit. I was just wondering whether it’s trendy to dislike some in particular at the moment?

LadyWithLapdog · 26/03/2021 18:48

I think people are keeping it quite light in general. I’m saddened to see some people can’t help but snidily equating trans issues with passing fads.

LadyWithLapdog · 26/03/2021 18:50

@Foolingaround I don’t get many of the things on here either. Eg I’ve never been inside a grey home and I had not heard of panelling as a trend until now. I need to go out more 😆

Faux panelling in houses made of mdf.

Fashion reels where grown women jump or snap their fingers and their clothes change. Get a grip.

Preaching Vegans - Or is that too much to hope for?

Foolingaround · 26/03/2021 18:52

I like the vegans actually, don’t like the rabid meat eaters. (I am not vegan).

when you can't find the bed because it's hidden under mass cushions.

one of my pet hates in hotels

Foolingaround · 26/03/2021 18:53

Mass cushions go straight on the floor in hotels.

Newchances · 26/03/2021 18:54

Sliders and socks

It's amazing how many of you have been to my neighbour's house.

The ridiculous pretence that otherwise intelligent people put on about knowing whether someone is a man or a woman. Or if there is even such a thing as a 'man' or a 'woman'. Absolutely pathetic. It will go down as the mass delusion of our times.

Aside from that IDGAF. You can prise my velvet sofas, navy walls and delicious alcohol from my cold dead hands.

Indeed. But that isn't ever the purpose of these 'unpopular opinions' threads. They're chock full of unhappy people who get their kicks out of being anonymously nasty about things that just don't matter. Jealousy? Spite? Who knows? It's just inadequacy.
