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!

I always assumed picky tea/ picky bits was a buffet/finger buffet or left overs. I like the concept more than the name- but picky tea is a known thing on here hence the use of it.

I sometimes drive below the speed limit, especially on bendy country roads I don't know. I am a dangerous menace.

To me, "picky tea" means you put out a lot of things - including leftovers and no/low-prep stuff like fresh fruit and veg, crackers, cheese, etc. - and let each person pick and choose what they want from what's available.

Soft play is great fun for kids and a perfect opportunity for parents to relax with a coffee and play on their phone. Your child will not contract leprosy or be murdered if you go to soft play

Hen nights are exceptionally good fun

That's not uncontroversial.

Barring exceptional circumstances, weddings are nice.

There's no moral value in being an introvert or extrovert (it's a spectrum anyway).

Thank you cards are a waste of time and money. Message or f2f thank you is absolutely enough.

Penis Beaker WAS funny.

It's OK to vote for whatever political party best fits your values and viewpoint. That should be uncontroversial but sadly it's not.

“Picky tea” vomit phrase.

To which I’ll add “roasties”, “veggies”, “pigs in blankets” (never used to call them that) and as for the phrase “pop” as in “just pop it in the oven” invariably used after someone has asked for easy meals and a poster has described a recipe using 2,000 hard-to-find ingredients and a marinating period of 7 hours.

Or Chuck it in the oven

I've never heard 'picky tea' and don't know what it means, doesn't make sense to me. Tea is tea regardless of which brand you choose (or pick); I imagine some people are connoisseurs but 'picky tea' sounds a bit - twee.

'Roasties' means roast potatoes, a lot of people say that, I've heard it all my life.

I don't see "chuck it in the oven" as much but I see a lot of "popping". Pop it in the oven, pop it on the hob, pop in, pop out, pop round. MN has more pops than the Butterkist factory!

Or at Christmas, "just bung it in the oven", which makes me imagine everyone throwing their turkey in at high speed 😂

@MrsToothyBitch this is for you:

No, not tea as in the drink, tea as in the evening meal.

Oh right, I was thinking 'Yorkshire' or 'Co-op 99', maybe Earl Grey if a lemon is available.

Take no notice of me, I'm a pleb.

Picky tea in that case sounds quite nice, I love buffet meals.

🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant!

Children shouldn't always come first.

You don't have to dump your OH just because your child wants you to

You should shave your armpits and legs. The cavewoman look is not ok.

Actually you know what this had made me think of. When someone is unaware of regional differences such as not knowing 'tea' can be a meal.

I mean it's pretty uncontroversial really - it's just someone unaware for whatever reason. (As opposed to being judgemental about the words usage.)

Things like "tea"; "lunch" v "dinner"; "mom" and so on. Things can really kick off!

(Unless Plumtree391 is doing the feigned ignorance to prove how 'ridiculous' using a word differently to how she uses it, obvs...)

I do know 'tea' means an early evening meal to some people but 'picky tea' seemed strange at the time; I get it now (& quite fancy it at any time of the day).
