What’s a controversial thing you don’t like it than everyone seems to like?

[NoGoodUsernamee]

I’ll start… dogs 😬 Never goes down well & I think if I owned one I’d probably grow to love it but in my eyes they just smell and dribble and are annoying. How about you?!

Dogs and Cats
The Royal Family
Tattoos
Face piercings
Celebrity 'culture'
Reality TV
Tories
Curry
Long false nails
The UK seaside

Last 2 I just found supremely boring and they both sent me off to sleep 😴😴😴

Social media (mumsnet not included) but all the other awful SM giants, tiktok, facebook, twitter, instagram, snapchat & THE NEWs can’t stand THE HEADLINES every 5 minutes of the day…

Meghan and Harry
Mark Rylance
Mark Rylance's hats
Long nails
False eyelashes
Adults posting their present hauls on SM
Extreme trans activism

Any book written by Richard Osman

Amen to this. I tried so hard to like them as well.

Peanut butter.

Halloween.

You need to really persevere with Richard Osmans first book : once you do it's so worth it!
I nearly gave up , but it's the writing style, it's just a bit different. Book two is much better.
Not read book three yet tho..

I've never had a Big Mac. It just doesn't appeal to me. I don't think I'd go as far as to say it's controversial though, probably just in the minority of ever trying it

Not a fan of ice cream and wouldn't go out my way to buy it. I'm going to assume that's more controversial!

Also can't stand onions or peppers

Can't stand vodka or Prosecco

Never watched Love Island or intend to

Soaps

LV bags with the logo plastered all over it

Coffee

The Dalai Lama is kind of annoying.

Grown women talking in tiny “ickle girl” voices

Star Wars
mars bars
cheese and onion walkers crisps
starbucks coffee
cars (apart from old cool cars)
belly of pork
fancy dress parties
People who loudly talk on phone or one another trains and disrupt my reading
People who chomp or eat loudly
but I realise the last two aren’t exactly things “other people like”, apart from those fuckers who are the ones indulging in that behaviour.

that will probably do for now!

I meant people who talk loudly ON trains,
I shall add, I also don’t like the lack of an edit facility on this site.

Surely no one has forgotten. She has really good PR and advisors. She hardly opens her gob. A bit like kate middleton. If they talked too much, the truth would be out (as with Harry and Meghan). Basically we need to end this class-inequality promoting monarchy. As for Prince Charles, ghastly stupid man. Have you seen poundbury? Pastiche, a joke, an invented nauseating quaint and unreal world that tells you all you need to know about him.
poundbury.co.uk

I’m a bit thick, I don’t get what that poundbury thing is - it’s a development site? Is it owned by King Charles?

@Mummysgogetter it’s his fakery village. Daily mail on steroids. I visited it once, and it was so WEIRD. Eg the Budgens was behind a pseudo-Georgian facade (can’t possibly show a modern shop front!). The architecture is ALL shit badly designed pastiche. It sounds oh such a lovely initiative with its traditional crafts, but the reality is so far from that. I’m not clear on who really benefits from any of it. Plough some money into our inner cities, old genuine buildings that could be preserved, lots of them exist, rather than this dreadful, stepford wives, invented, “community”. Ugg.

You are not alone wrt Mark Rylance's hats @Scrumbleton. How an actor of such distinction can end up wearing such monstrosities on his head I do not know!
Someone give the man a decent-sized hat and tell him how to wear it fhs!

In fact I'll extend the category to include all men who wear hats that are too small, particularly if they wear them on the back of the heads, and not boldly over the crown, with brims tilted at a jaunty angle. Further negative points go to men who wear hats at the dinner table.

Sex or constant talking about it

Men

Relationships - the dating kind
