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.

White wine is amazing

Armanya · 20/02/2024 10:21

When people spell your instead of you're, I instantly realise I cannot be friends with them

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.

That sounds amazing!

I too thought a staycation was one where you stayed at home but went on day trips

Can't stand dogs or raisins in otherwise perfectly good cakes.

@Armanya haha yes this was what happened to me. When I had kids, I realised my dog is actually a dog- as are all other dogs. They're not children / humans.

It's utterly pathetic to treat them like humans.

My in laws are so ridiculous with dogs and often say they prefer them to people - which just makes me think - wow - what an ego trip. You prefer helpless creature who doesn't have opinions and can't challenge you in any way, over people who are your equal. It says a lot about people !

I love dogs, but they're dogs and if I had to save a person or a dog, I would save a person. Lots of people would save a dog instead.

Oops - forgot the comma. Dog cake would be really awful!

@ChocolateCinderToffee

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.

Mine is similar, except he refuses to tell me anything when I ask him what he's been up to. He just sits there with a sullen look on his face or stalks off. He refuses to clean up after himself, anywhere, and yes - he's a predator. I wouldn't leave him alone with any living thing smaller than him.

Habaaah -
1- Hubby and I have Monopoly, Catopoly and Jurassic Parkopoly!
2- I love beans on toast!
3-I love old houses! We live in one with still parts of the original 13th C. foundations and the property was rebuilt in 1677! We keep it warm and it's easy to keep clean!
4- I'm OK with hot drinks - tea, drinking chocolate and soup but I'm happy to literally live on only cold drinks too! I often go several weeks on nothing but cold drinks!
5- We have no TV in our household by choice. Why would we have to paid a whopping £169.50/£57.00 to keep talentless old slags like Katie Price and creeps like Ant and Dec in a job?!
6 - My hubby is a driver but I chose never too, also I'm physically disabled so it would be awkward for me too anyway!

Train station....what's this about? Until recently, if you said "I'm going to meet x at the station, nobody thought you meant the fire station or the filling station. Similarly, the village has got a station. Oh a fire station, that's really handy??!!

ancienticecream · 20/02/2024 10:31

It really bugs me when people use the term staycation to describe going on holiday to Devon when they live in Nottinghamshire. It's a bloody holiday. A staycation is where you take time off and stay at home (day trips are, of course, allowed).

There are too many dogs and too many cats.

hyperspacebug · 20/02/2024 10:31

UK is actually more alright than some European countries (I'm not British)

I'll pass on a dog cake, but thank you for the offer 🤣

People might think x has just been released on bail though.

Dummies for babies are gross

SausageRoll58 · 20/02/2024 10:33

NuttyGinge - I fully agree!

''iv got a ickle pain in my toomyy''

UGH!

Bad spelling, grammar and lack of intelligence!

Wheresthescissors · 20/02/2024 10:33

Comic sans is my favourite font.

LentilFaculties · 20/02/2024 10:34

Well, going by posts on another thread, my unpopular opinion is that some people are fucking bonkers about their own wedding. Don't get me wrong - I love a celebration - but the precious, entitled, myopic almost narcissistic behaviour mystifies me.

SausageRoll58 · 20/02/2024 10:35

Armanya - agreed!

Wanna and gonna instead of want to and going to, u r instead of you are etc. etc. Drives me nuts!

neverendingnonsense · 20/02/2024 10:37

I love dogs. All of them. The more dogs the better. I will never not have one.

That has to be a far more unpopular opinion than "I don't like dogs" considering the threads we have about them on an almost on a daily basis.

ParanoidGynodroid · 20/02/2024 10:38

People who spend more than ~ £50 on a handbag have more money than sense.

MrsCarson · 20/02/2024 10:39

Alcohol is overrated. Most of it tastes nasty, Juice or pop tastes better.
People who let animals lick their face, or their baby's face are grim.

LordSnot · 20/02/2024 10:39

McDonald's chips are much nicer cold.

Ohh yes ! Another one of my pet hates.

People who hate dummies! Dummies are awesome and don't make you a chav.

I also hate it when people dislike walkers and bouncers. All those things are absolutely fine if used properly.
