Not aibu just intrigued. This thread was done on here ages ago and it was so fun. I have two:

Pasta is gross, I'll eat it but its not delicious as people make it out to be its cold slimy dough.

I'm sure she's nice but Beyonce is overrated.

Fully in agreement about pasta. Like yeah, so what. It seems to swell up in my belly and it's so horrible when cold or overcooked. I just can't be arsed. Used to live off pesto pasta aged 14-17 but cooked it so much it was a gelatinous lump in the shape of the pan. So fully my own fault I hate it. That and ramen noodles. I can't ever look at those ever again.
In terms of unpopular opinions, I hate social media, Instagram, twitter, tiktok or whatever these awful self promotional shitestations are called. I can't look at or contemplate looking at/following/ joining any of it. I'm quite a luddite in that respect.

That whoever invented the Masked Singer needs to be hunted down. And locked in padded cell with it on a 24 hour loop for the rest of their lives.

This!! It is the shittest thing I have ever seen ..and that Joel guy - dont get me started !

I will NEVER stop cleaning my ears with cotton buds. My ears start to itch horribly if I left them to " self clean".
I am very careful and it never did any harm to me.
Cannot stand that wet feeling of wax in my ears. Boak.

I'm with you. I get that tingling pretty much if I leave the bathroom after a shower without cleaning my ears. Vom. I've had recent hearing tests and I'm fine so I'll carry on ta.

I hate quiz shows. And Strictly
I can’t stand sushi

Dont really get the appeal of Benedict Cumberbatch.

RM2013 · 19/02/2024 23:31

I can’t stand coffee - not even the watered down mocha choca latte stuff!!

I also dislike wine, gin and champagne

Apolloneuro · 19/02/2024 23:31

Middle aged women, working in a rural charity office, sending emails with a her/she after their name makes me eye roll massively.

A tumble dryer is one of the finest pieces of equipment money can buy. Used carefully, not too expensive to run and with the UK weather may save your sanity

YESSSS!!!!!! WHY ON EARTH DO PEOPLE THINK YOU NEED POCKETS ON DRESSES AND SKIRTS! I HATE IT WHEN ITS ADVERTISED

I need pockets to put my hands in them! How else am I going to walk nonchalantly down the street?

The people who post shit like this are simple.

Ahh I wouldn't call your reply shit.

Don't be so hard on yourself 😁

SwordToFlamethrower · 19/02/2024 21:57

Add "tummy" to that. No grown adult should be using the phrase "poorly and/or tummy".

Childish and unnecessary

I hate the word belly. Bellyache, beer belly, bellybutton- all disgusting words!

theduchessofspork · 19/02/2024 23:43

BMXsummoner · 19/02/2024 21:09

The word ‘poorly’ is twee and childish and should be banned

Yes!

Hated it since someone asked me if I was as a child. No I am ILL.

borderline53 · 19/02/2024 23:43

Those long quilted coats that nearly touch the floor….. shapeless unflattering horrible things. Also the sleeveless ones, why would you want freezing arms.

I quite like his footy face

Yougetmoreofwhatyoufocuson · 19/02/2024 23:46

I get that no one has the right to tell you how to dress, but I still think when I see women with their arses out look very undignified, men never walk around with their bums out and it gives them more reason to mock and denigrate women.
Little girls at the beach in swimsuits that don’t fit properly while little boys all look perfectly comfortable in theirs. Never seen a little boy adjust his swimmers because they’ve given him a wedgie.

Flossing is unnecessary

AnnieBuddyHere · 19/02/2024 23:51

theduchessofspork · 19/02/2024 23:43

Yes!

That's just reminded me of another annoyance of mine of which there are plenty

No-one is 'ill' anymore, they've all 'gotten sick'.

To me, 'getting sick' still means puking up and always will.

GingerAle1 · 19/02/2024 23:54

Oh I posted about this before

people have become weird. Office workers saying they are scared to answer the phone. We all have our quirks but....I feel surrounded by "quirky" people.

Disneydatknee88 · 19/02/2024 23:56

Sushi is disgusting. I swear people are pretending to like it to look sophisticated. TV really was better in the 90s. That's why they are trying to remake all the TV shows and films from back then...with some success. Recent remake of gladiators is just epic!

Tweensandterribletwos · 19/02/2024 23:56

People should not be allowed to put headbands on babies

Weddings are fun and it's lovely to see a couple get married and celebrate with them!

Why is your pasta cold?

I hate cats. I wish no harm to them, but they're sleekit, little bastards. And I'm allergic.

Dressed up to the nines whilst doing it too 😂does seem quite odd. So expensive too

I can’t disagree, and yet….I’ce always longed to be the kind of person who could ‘take afternoon tea’ in a completely unironic way.
