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.

Food offered/advertised as a treat is not for your benefit, but for the profit of the company peddling the highly processed shite. You are not 'treating' yourself, but killing yourself.

Tattoos - why why why?

I get it on a toned muscled body why they would look good but not for me 🤮

Especially on the average joe they just look awful.

Ditto enormous cocks come to think of it.

Completely overrated. So much hard work.

lucknowsilver · 20/02/2024 09:58

Maybe these are not lighthearted. Gosh I had no idea I had all this to get off my chest!

Wheresthebeach · 20/02/2024 10:00

All face piercing are revolting.

Going to the cinema is overrated. Quite exciting when you're a child, but an uncomfortable way to view films as an adult.

Edited

I have to disagree. Our local cinema has 12 seats, all of which are lazy boys that recline fully back. They offer blankets and you can order wine and cheese boards that they bring to you. Plus there is an intermission if you need another wine.

Clotted cream first, then jam.

CactusMactus · 20/02/2024 10:04

Dogs are awful.

I hate old houses. They smell and they're cold. I could not live in an old house. They're dirty and you just can't get them clean.

I think it's really really rude to invite guests to your home and ask them to take their shoes off. Especially if it's a dinner or something. But even if it's not a dinner, it's so rude to ask guests to take their shoes off.

I hate baby led weaning and letting babies choke on food.

I hate parents who are super super strict about screen time. Funnily enough it's their kids who cry and scream when you take the screen away.

I can't stand board games. I don't understand families who sit around playing board games ( unless there are children involved ). Adults playing board games or scrabble is so lame.

Pub quiz and crossword puzzles as well as scrabble can F off. Anyone who thinks that's fun, is not fun in my eyes.

Beans on toast is vile.

People who don't like any hot drinks. Grow up.

People who are fussy with food in general, grow up and eat.

People who don't have a TV in their home.

Hippies.

People who don't drive.

I could go on.

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.

This is quite true. My cat has just come in and told me he's slung a ball through next door's window, ridden his scooter round Boots and tripped up three old ladies, grabbed the priority seat on the bus and refused to move, and run riot in a 'Spoons with a plateful of fish and chips. Mushy peas all over the floor.

The previous cat's hobbies were wrecking phone boxes and putting obscene graffiti on shop windows.

Honestly, I'm surprised any of my neighbours speak to me, but out of five houses three are inhabited by cats, so there's that.

Show quote history

Joel Dommet is a God awful presenter with a monotonous, shouting toneless drone voice, adenoid trouble and sinister unexpressive eyes. Kylie sings like an excited hamster and Sex in the City was anything but liberating for women. Friends was a stereotypical cliche-fest with Rachel being the only decent character, however she would never have dated Ross. Rita Ora must have dirt on a lot of people, Lorraine Kelly is a mega fake with a well practised nose scrunching giggle and a brilliant agent.

I don't like Stephen Fry.

faxnoink · 20/02/2024 10:10

Ed Sheeran's music is boring, his lyrics twee and his voice is meh.

He seems nice though.

People who are overly obsessed with their dogs, makes me sick!

I agree !! I used to be one of those, but I am no longer and I cringe at myself.

Well this is a thread of unpopular opinions.... I was referring mainly to digging and pooping and borders and vegetable patches, and killing birds, but I would be even more upset if they smashed my windows, that's for sure.

LinkedIn is for wankers.

Haha My SIL is the same, I hate it, she will soon realise when she has children how pathetic it is!

SausageRoll58 · 20/02/2024 10:17

I'm OK with pasta in the way of macaroni cheese but I can't touch it any other way, I agree with you that it's slimy!

Beyonce is definitely overrated and she's not nice at all from what I've read about her. She full of herself and treats others like filth!

DilemmaDelilah · 20/02/2024 10:17

Sausages should not be served with gravy (or with peas)
Yorkshire puddings are disgusting, as are dumplings

Feminism is a misandrist charter.

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

Not if it’s vanilla ice cream on a home made bread and butter pudding just out of the oven. 😋

KimberleyClark · 20/02/2024 10:19

Christmas, far from being just for kids, is much more fun when you don’t have them.

My god that is not light hearted!😂

A holiday in the UK is not a staycation. It is a holiday! A staycation is where you stay at home and go out for day trips. I will die on this hill!

Beer and Lager are disgusting.
Coffee is disgusting
