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.

Pubs which allow families in should have a "Sniper Fund" jar on the bar. Wetherspoons and Greene King can have it as a payment option on their apps. Suggested £5 minimum contribution to the jar by any patron who wishes to contribute. Any children playing in the pub/restaurant on scooters, watching iPads at top volume or running round screaming, while their parents can't be bothered looking after them, will be shot by an on-call SAS sniper. The money in the jar pays his wages.

Dogs.
I just. HATE. dogs.

This 👆

Although it's probably more their owners.

CarterBeatsTheDevil · 20/02/2024 10:43

I've had dogs and cats for most of my life, but I now prefer a clean house and no extra holiday admin

Baked cheesecake. Claggy and horrible.

Butter is vile.
People who vomit from drink are vile.
People who do a poo in front of their partner are vile.

I don’t think the last two are seen as normally popular 😁

The saying ‘All babies are beautiful’ is a blatant lie!

Tea tastes horrible.

Chicken is just as bland as tofu - it only tastes of whatever you cook it with.

Mine were beautiful 😁 but I do remember a work college bringing her baby in once and I was stumped as to what to say. I felt really bad for thinking negative thoughts on her appearance but I put it down to fact she was the spitting image of her 30 something (rather plain) mum, I mean really spitting image and it looked so odd to see this older face on a baby.

My son was very small for dates and skinny. He looked like Gollum. He was only really cute when he was a few months old

Peppa pig (the tv show, not just the character) is brilliant and hilarious.

Goats' cheese isn't a treat. It is vile and tastes of goat.
in fact, anything that comes from a goat tastes and smells of goat. Nasty.
(I don't hate goats, I used to keep them and find them very endearing in an infuriating kind of way)

BTW, unpasteurised milk tastes of cow, too.

I’ve seen a few babies resembling Gollum over the years! 🤣 I am of the thinking that most babies grow into their looks and become cute, but they certainly aren’t all born that way!

People that talk about ‘life admin’ need to just get the fuck on with it and stop breaking everything down into tiny steps to make tasks appear harder than they are.

Lots of the dog threads on here are made up. All these dogs stealing ice creams and picnics from mumsnetters. And dogs in high chairs....bullshit! Mumsnet needs to delete these posters for the trolls that they are.

Phones should be banned at concerts.

SausageRoll58 · 20/02/2024 11:03

I can't abide those people, usually women, who stand outside the doors of shops, huge prams/buggies or shopping trollies blocking the way with their elbows and arms stuck out in odd angles and purse in hand gossiping away and they just WILL NOT BLOODY MOVE out of the way so others can get in/out! You say ''excuse me, can I get in/out?'' and they ignore you so you repeat it but louder and they very reluctantly and very slowly move while giving you death stares, and the same when they're in-store blocking the aisles! I have to use a seated 4-wheel Rollator and have to squeeze it and myself past them!

Any sort of wine, Prosecco, Champagne etc. and any sort of coffee UGH!

Lasagna. Any sort of snot food like mussels, jellied eels etc.

As a female, I love books and films on horror, psycho, serial killers and so on, I study criminology and forensic science and I detest anyone who tells me I should read Mills and Boon/5 Shades/Game of Thones etc. ''because that's what women read''. I just very harshly snap at them that I'm not into porn and to stop being sexist!

Olives and avocados.

Bridzillas and Groomzillas who demand their bridesmaids/groomsmen loose weight, won't have disabled people in their photos, colour/un-colour their hair, pay £500.00 to attend and so on get nothing but blanks from me, I refuse to have anything to do with them!

Why (do) w(e) have to (put) brackets in (every)thing?! ''Mr Smith said ''I (saw) Mrs Jones (go over) the road''. WHY?!

And also ''sic''.

SausageRoll58 · 20/02/2024 11:04

And long fingernails, fake or real and fake eyelashes that look like animated bushes!

NuttyGinge - I fully agree!

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

UGH!

Bad spelling, grammar and lack of intelligence!

Sometimes I’ll say to my son (19) have you got a sore tum tum but it’s said ironically as it normally means he’s had too much alcohol. He’ll even say the day after he’s had night out that his ‘tum tum’ hurts but it’s just a family joke. Deliberately said because it’s so ‘ick’ 😁

Pet keeping is unethical and extraordinarily selfish.

Tell that to my happy little rescue birds and all the other animals saved from cruelty, horrific conditions and in some cases even death.
