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.

Instant coffee is perfectly nice, and sometimes I prefer it to the real thing.

I’m 100% with you. I like to think of instant coffee a bit like the squash of coffee drinks. No one is pretending squash is ACTUAL juice but sometimes you prefer it anyway.

Pet keeping is unethical and extraordinarily selfish.

It’s beyond cruel.

David Tennant is an annoying unattractive dork.

Outrageous! This thread needs to be reported.

Tomato ketchup ... Just why?

I’d happily ban the stuff

Going to visit family isn't a holiday.
Even if they live in a holiday destination.

Currently staying with family… also currently laying on a sun lounger by their pool in 34 degree sunshine. Absolutely my idea of a holiday!

to add my own to the thread… bananas and anything flavoured like them were created by the devil himself!

I think it is weird and wrong that people can own a cat, but let it out to go wherever it wants and have no idea where it is or what it is doing (or what havoc it is wrecking in other people's property). I just don't understand how it is socially acceptable.

Putting "Super" in front of everything
Super happy/excited/ready for the weekend
Fuck off!

People who smoke shouldn't have children. Proper winds me up.

Replace smoking with drinking alcohol and see how ridiculous you sound, and no I'm not a smoker.

Inapickle2 · 20/02/2024 08:13

@DoYouBelieveInMagic agree. Beyoncé is overrated as is Taylor Swift

Teachers and childcare staff should not address parents as “mum”.
I have a name- learn it. I’m not your mum…

I'm not learning up to 60 parents' names, sorry not sorry.

Teachers need to get over themselves

Teachers need to get over themselves

What does that even mean?

MyFirstLittlePony · 20/02/2024 08:17

Cockapoos are for people who don’t even like dogs but just want a real life build-a-bear

Jook · 20/02/2024 08:17

I don’t get spa days.

Sitting around with shiny faces and scented oil in your hair, wearing stiff white dressing gowns and those ridiculous feet cover things.

Also, afternoon tea. The sandwiches always sound gross, “savouries” are over-herbed sausage meat -or -feta -somethings, and even I have a limit to how many cakes I can eat in one sitting. For astronomical cost. No thanks.

not even a hashbrown?!?😢

Hashbrowns are American. I agree.on an English breakfast, but on an Ulster Fry potato farls are the law!

ParanoidGynodroid · 20/02/2024 08:18

My unpopular opinion is that a good instant coffee is better than most ground coffees.

SushiMayo · 20/02/2024 08:18

It's meant to be unpopular opinion not just a winge about things you and many other people don't like

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 so glad I found this thread!
Me too, I'm the only person in the house who does this, and weirdly the only one who can actually hear properly.

Tattoos are ugly.
Leggings are not outerwear, particularly in the lardy of arse.
Paul Mescal can’t act.

It means they need to stop moaning about everything and get on with it, basically.

the job is hard. We get it. But so are many many many other jobs and professions.

I hate ALL ABBA songs. Every single one.

Hot drinks. Why does anyone want to drink anything with cow juice in it or is full of caffeine, makes your breath stink and discolours your teeth?

Water for me, thank you. Flavoured, still, sparkling, chilled or straight from a bottle.

You can survive without caffeine? Please tell me your secret 😅

Wannabie · 20/02/2024 08:26

Beatles songs are rubbish!

Fixyourself · 20/02/2024 08:27

Impregnating cows then drinking their milk they make for their babies is weird!
