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.

OP posts:
jasminocereusbritannicus · 20/02/2024 07:29

Totally agree with you about Beyoncé, OP.

I’d like Boris Johnson back as PM.

Maireas · 20/02/2024 07:29

Also...not liking bad mannered folks isn't an unpopular opinion! I would say it's popular.

But then how else would I get my 5 a day 🤔 🤣🤣

I suppose you could have a couple of terrys chocolate oranges? 😄

So instead of learning 30 names, they should learn 90 to include both parents? Why do they need to know your name?

The suggestion is that teachers call parents by their first name? Tell that to secondary teachers who probably teach 150 !

Cats are FAR superior to dogs.

Mayonnaise is the devil's sauce.

+1 to a PP to said mild cheese was just hard milk.

Friends (the show) is grotesquely overrated.

Chips are bland as fuck.

Attending other people’s weddings is like pulling your teeth out.

I was going to say Friends too.

Big Bang Theory is another one. Awful.

Everyone bringing their 'authentic selves' to work is not a good thing. Also GIFs are rarely funny and are used by people who have nothing useful to say.

This thread is great
I can't stand negative people
I go to work in the morning
All I hear is moan moan moan
Like we all have headaches, we all woke up far too early, we all got challenges
One will walk in, do not talk to me today
Get over yourself

Disclaimer, not talking about people with real problems
Just people who are rude and suddenly fine after caffeine and now want a chat, go away

BusyMummy001 · 20/02/2024 07:44

MacDonalds and BurgerKing burgers are pretty rank…

most particularly as I think an OOP could eat them without wearing any dentures…

Yes and particularly negative and moany people who rebrand themselves (inaccurately and insultingly) as "introverts". You see it incessantly on here.

"I don't like people and never want to leave my house/see anyone except my spouse. Am I an introvert?" No, you're a narrow-minded twat.

Raisins in biscuits should be banned.

As should currants - they look like dead flies !!

@jenpeg. Ha me too thought I was alone in hating dolphins. Creepy with their smiley faces!.

There used to be smug notes on the side of tins of tuna saying it was 'dolphin friendly' which was good for dolphins but no-one seemed to care about the poor tuna!

Going running does not make you morally superior.

I would have to disagree, some films only really work on the big screen, Top Gun Maverick springs to mind.

Tbf Top Gun Maverick works nowhere. 🤮

NeighbourhoodWatchPotholeDivision · 20/02/2024 07:50

McDonalds should be prosecuted for food waste for all the potatoes the company has bought and wasted on their excuse for chips.

It's a crime against humanity, honestly.

Oh, and I read the other day that Line Dancing is becoming popular again. In God's name, why?! It should be very firmly discouraged - a couple of tear gas grenades lobbed at the perpetrators would do the trick.

Have you ever actually done it? 😂

Wolfpa · 20/02/2024 07:53

English sparkling wine is better than French Sparkling wine.

there is nothing wrong with the word moist

Viohh · 20/02/2024 07:54

Wine is gross. People who enjoy it are lying to themselves.

Lwrenn · 20/02/2024 07:56

I don't think the first one is controversial, just not said often, but Sikh fashion is the most beautiful clothing on the planet.

Plastic burger cheese is better on a burger than even top tier cheeses like applewood, brie and stinking Bishop.

Phrasing something as "my truth" doesn't mean "the truth" so I'm instantly zoned out of the conversation. Plus it makes me irrationally angry.

Sexy underwear makes me feel like a joint of belly pork.

CoolShoeshine · 20/02/2024 07:57

English people who think they’re super special and unique because one of their grandparents/great grandparents came from Ireland.

Does the third one count if you’re giving birth?

Asking for a friend

This - I also vomited on my partner - lucky guy 😅

(edit to add - vomited during childbirth not drink ha)

Football is boring.

Hummusandstuff · 20/02/2024 07:59

So agree with the water bottle obsessives. They can join the coffee clutchers. Why can nobody go for a walk or trip to the shops without one?

notforonesecond · 20/02/2024 08:00

People with personalised number plates are pricks.

Goatymum · 20/02/2024 08:03

Atm prob the obsession with dogs!
I don’t particularly see the need or want to see dogs in my local indoor shopping centre. There’s no need.
I don’t mind dogs generally but they’re animals and probably don’t enjoy browsing in John Lewis 😆
