To ask what your lighthearted unpopular opinion is?

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.

Biscuits are dry and boring

Coffee is vile. Cake is meh.

It's perfectly possible to be happily married and not share a bed.

No matter how clean dog owners keep their homes the smell lingers. It makes me want to wretch.

Academic ability is about 80% genetic. Obviously, good parenting, safe home & having access to books/ knowledge will enhance it, but it's essentially nature. I say this as mother to 3 DC all with completely different levels of academic ability. It's just your Donald Duck.

Ditto cats. Minging. Can smell them from the front door when it's not even open.

Dogs are amazing, especially guide dogs. Other working dogs such as those that sniff out bombs and drugs are also amazing.

That shit blows my mind!

I totally agree about that one. Hate it. DH is American though so I’ve learned to take a deep breath and keep quiet.

Enforced jollity is so boring. See hen night/ girls' day out/ staff, Christmas party/ 'big' birthday bash/ baby shower. A random, nondescript day/ night out is always loads more fun.

It's perfectly possible to be happily married and not share a bed.

I’m pretty sure we’re happily married (in our 50’s) because we don’t share a bed.

Parents are leaving it way too late to potty train and it doesn't make it any quicker by leaving it later.

Or maybe people just don't like watching horses getting whipped and forced to risk injury and death for human entertainment?

No !
They are delicious. And the
chocolate around the Twirl stops it from falling apart.

Boot cut / wide leg jeans make a lot of people look frumpy and dumpy

Most designer expensive bags are pretty awful

Expensive skincare is for the most part no better than medium priced / cheap skincare, same with expensive makeup

Cillian Murphy is not good looking

Anyway. My unpopular opinions:

1a) Bidet showers should be compulsory in all bathrooms.
1b) Only wiping with toilet paper is filthy.
2) Septum piercings should be banned.
3) Love Island is boring. TOWIE is are similarly boring. I am not averse to trash TV but it's just like watching paint dry.
4) Beyonce is actually underrated as a vocalist.
5) Cheryl Tweedy can sing - a little bit.
6) Mick Jagger can't sing, he just shouts tunelessly. If he was female he'd be ripped to shreds for his lack of vocal ability.
7) Spending a lot of money on weddings is ridiculous. It's one day out of the whole rest of your life. Celebrate and share it with family and friends, but don't start your married life £10,000 down, or wait years saving up for it! It totally misses the point of what weddings should be about.
8) Saving sex for marriage has a use: it helps to weed out men who won't wait for you after you've had a baby, or who will be intolerant of a low libido at other times.

Long nails. Horrible.
Long nails with white tips. Horrible.
Long painted nails with jewels and designs on them. Nasty

worse still is long nails with dark / black tips….gross, they look like you have dirt under your nails….why would anyone think it was a good idea,

Very short nails with clear nail polish (if anything) for me

Dishwashers are a waste of time. It’s horrible handling dirty plates and manoeuvring them into certain sections and then have the wretched thing whirring and whining for an hour. Ten minutes max with lots of hot water and the dishes are done.

Agree with the wedding haters. Weddings are the worst and most of them are so tacky!

Me too! Lot’s of ‘lighthearted’ opinions 🙄

Aware mine are definitely unreasonable and prob irrational but …

1. pints - specially women drinking them - they just seem too big and I hate it (realise this is sexist and the feminist in me is cross with myself but just hate it)

2. pointy fingernails - just look like claws to me

3. pets that live inside / go inside - I don’t understand the concept - we have a cat (dh’s) and I often look at her and think “why do we have an animal living in our house”. She’s nice enough I suppose and I like animals but in the wild / outside - she adds nothing to my life except mess and vets bills. (Before anyone gets irate - I am v kind to her and take her to vet / look after her - but I don’t get the appeal)

4. I don’t understand why people cry at other peoples weddings - I’m happy for them, it’s a lovely party, but unless it’s mine (or maybe my child’s - I’ll wait and see on that) it makes no difference to my life so I’m not involved enough / don’t care enough for tears

Reading these back I think maybe I’m just a bit heartless!

Raisins in anything should be banned.
Sultanas and currents should also be banned.

Chicken Parmas are the worst Pub meal option.
Mobile phones should have their own resting place in the cloakrooms of restaurants.

I absolutely HATE the suburbs and don't understand why anyone lives there.

I don't want to be able to throw a rock and hit my neighbour, and also have to drive to get milk.

You are a judgemental twat!

Tattoos do not make all people who have them look dim at all!

Dogs should be destroyed, why?

Cricket and shopping are both shit.

Horse racing is pretty boring and kind of cruel if you ask me, but I am not a horsey person, i'm just a dim tattood lout.

I don't disagree entirely with the last point.

Fucking pine nuts should be wiped off the fucking face of the fucking earth. They reek of failed aspiration and taste like wax.

Extravagant hen parties and stag nights. You're getting married, not executed, so why are you asking all your friends to spend hundreds and hundreds of pounds on you first?

Im with you on that! Or narcissists
