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.

I think everyone should be retested every ten or so years and more should be banned for life after major road traffic issues

THIS. Killing someone with a car by dangerous driving should mean a life ban.

Mintyfreshtulips · 20/02/2024 09:06

People who run into traffic to cross the road when theres a crossing fifty feet away deserve to be really lighly knocked over to teach them a lesson.

Wine being horrible is turning out to be a popular opinion (I used to like wine, now...no).

Mushrooms 🍄 are horrible things. Truffles are worse. Who thought fungus was a good food to eat? Envy (not envy)

High heels should be banned. Flipping dangerous.

EDI training should be banned from all workplaces.

Game of Thrones was boring

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.

Agree!! It’s the worst thing that’s been on tv for a long time

The quality of TV programming falls in direct proportion to the increasing variety of TV stations.

So is Strictly.

Anything with a vanilla flavouring. This is a lifelong dislike of mine that has grown and is now bordering on manic. On the upside it means that most puddings in restaurants are off limits to me, which is good for the old waistline.

The quality of TV programming falls in direct proportion to the increasing variety of TV stations.

And the number of cooking programmes on telly, recipe books in the shops etc. (especially those weird ones you’re not meant to try cooking from like the Gordon Ramsay one) increases in inverse proportion to the percentage of the population able to cook.

I hate binge watching tv shows! It makes it go too quickly. One episode per night for me 😅

PumpkinsAndCoconuts · 20/02/2024 09:12

I like destination weddings!

Ice cream on a warm/hot dessert is just wrong.

Yep! Crumble=custard sticky toffee pud=cream

OlderandwiserMaybe · 20/02/2024 09:18

Coldplay and Adele (A-Dull!!!) are both rubbish.

Tupperwarelid · 20/02/2024 09:19

Self care is another chore. I can’t be arsed to journal/ write my gratitudes and do yoga and meditate. I want to watch Coronation Street and do my jigsaws.

everythingcrossed · 20/02/2024 09:22

I'm not that keen on pubs. I drink and like company, just not in a pub. The idea of going to one several times a week leaves me cold.

Peanut butter is the invention of the devil.

Lorries should be banned from the roads during daytime hours, and only allowed to drive at night.

Taylor Swift needs to stop serial dating and take some time to be single.

DarlingEddie · 20/02/2024 09:26

"White chocolate" is not chocolate.

It's a perfectly pleasant substance, but it's NOT CHOCOLATE.

Yes yes lol.
Plus anyone dating her is just asking for trouble.
i can’t stand her

People ‘helping’ sight impaired people by grabbing their arm or their long cane with no warning should be slapped hard (possibly with said cane).

The life of intense media scrutiny and high profile social appearances inflicted upon the British royal children is a kind of child abuse.

School is largely a waste of time for the majority of children - its greatest social function is allowing parents to remain economically active.

Most people are still a bit racist in some way or another. They are just much better at saying the right things in public.

British humour isn’t really much better than most other countries, and the way some Brits like to self congratulate themselves on their self-awarded hilarity is distinctly unBritish! (Of,course there are definitely some standout British sitcoms - Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, The Office etc, but nowhere near enough to warrant the hype)

Most, if not all, profiteroles are shit.

Christmas is overrated and stressful for a lot of people. It's nice when you are a kid or if you have small kids and can afford presents and that's about it

Totally agree load of commercial nonsense that creates stress anxiety needless expense & endless landfill. No issue with the religious aspects but the commercial aspects are awful.

DoubleBingo · 20/02/2024 09:35

Grimm's rainbows are pointless and not worth the extortionate money they cost.
