What’s the most seemingly uncontroversial opinion you can think of that will still spark a fight in AIBU?

I’ll go first:

Losing a pet is not the same as losing a child.

Now your turn!

@AdaColeman

What is the correct order for filling scones, cream then jam or jam then cream, and should butter be involved at all?

Jesus Christ woman, are you trying to kill us all???

@Classica

It is perplexing that Benedict Cumberbatch is considered a sex symbol.

it is. I never understood it. he's a fantastic actor. but he has a dead fish face.

Yes re Benedict Cumberbatch, someone on MN once said he has a face like a constipated otter and I can't unsee it

@AdaColeman

also : how to pronounce scone

In the vast majority of cases, under 2's are much better off at home with a SAHP.

Going back in for a look. Will report back.

That too many people choose to be single parents and seek special treatment as a result
That men can be just as lovely and trustworthy as women
SAHM = unemployed
Separate bank accounts for married couples is like getting ducks in a row for divorce
Don't bore the backside off people by planning a wedding years in advance
Don't moan about being unable to get a big enough deposit to get on the property ladder if you spend thousands on a wedding

I mean, otters are so cute. I feel they are being maligned by being compared to BC who looks much more like a Beluga whale, given the forehead VS rest of face ratio.

I don’t understand this thread

@LolaSmiles

I don't wear knickers under my pyjamas in bed

Are we meant to? misses point of thread entirely

surely this is the time to ventilate your bits and bobs

Have some people misunderstood and thought the point of the thread was to air their own controversial opinions? Or do they genuinely think their opinions are so obviously correct as to be completely uncontroversial?

That some people's opinions of what is "uncontroversial" are heavily skewed.

surely this is the time to ventilate your bits and bobs

That's what I thought. Every day is a learning day on here though. After a PP kindly explained the pyjama laundry drama I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a thread of laundry related grimness.

@Pazuzu

Some men are quite nice really.

Blasphemy

It's ok to go through life without Elf on a Shelf, Christmas Eve Boxes, Baby Showers, Gender Reveal events...............etc

If you're wearing leggings your bum should be covered. They are NOT the same as trousers, they are akin to tights.

I hate dishwashers and any house I have bought with one in I have had it taken out.

I've never heard of Elf on a Shelf, Christmas Eve Boxes or Gender Reveal events; my mind is boggling at the last one, what do you do - show your 'bits'?

It's okay to call your husband "hubby"

It's okay to call your children "kiddies" or "babbies"

It's okay to say "we're pregnant"

It's okay to call your pets "fur babies"

It's all okay and people shouldn't try and police others' language, no matter how twee or eye-rolly they find it.

Also, the term "gender scan" is fine and harmless. Everyone knows what it means.

gender reveal is when you have a party and let your friends know you're having a boy/girl.

Some twat set fire to a big chunk of California with such a party.

His looks are nothing special but his voice is lovely.

that dogs are pets.

@ghostyslovesheets

Carbs are not bad for you

I read that as crabs and thought "are we talking crustaceans or the pubic louse?"

Your close friends probably do have at least a passing interest in you having a baby.
