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 judge adults with the palate of a child… by which I mean those who don’t like hot drinks, olives, any vaguely interesting seafood, wine, the more adventurous vegetables etc. Screwing your face up at an avocado is very childish.

2 more from me.

I find people who eat olives and avocados have very banal and dull personalities, and are trying to be something they're not by eating bland shit like olives and avocados. They think it makes them middle class if they eat 'fancy seafoods,' and 'adventurous vegetables.' 😂 They are also judgmental snobs who hilariously believe that they are better than other people, because of what they eat. 😆

AND

Food snobs are irksome and arrogant.

Also, what the fuck is an adventurous vegetable @GreenAppleCrumble? A maris piper that goes skydiving? A scuba-diving sprout? A carrot that goes abseiling?

LMFAO! 😂😂😂

My 3 are

I can't stand anything by ABBA or The Bee Gees

I only drink instant coffee as all others filter/bean to cup/machine is awful.

I think ALL wine should say 'Sarsons' on the label as it tastes like vinegar! Rank!

KimberleyClark · 23/02/2024 10:41

Those coffee pod machines are awful. WheneverI’ve had one in a hotel room I’ve been singularly unimpressed by the coffee.

bfsham · 23/02/2024 10:45

That fancy dress is crap.

American chocolate (Hersheys) tastes like vomit

Dogs and Christmas should be banned

Do you mean, Dogs should be banned and Christmas should banned? Or that Dogs should be banned from Christmas?

OhNoWhatIf · 23/02/2024 11:11

@EbonyRaven I can't stand avocados or seafood and not embarrassed.

I'm up for trying an adventurous vegetable or fruit whatever that may be 😁

Did you see the picture of Khloe Kardashian's hands? Just vile, she looked like an alien. Her hands were this kind of silver grey colour and her nails were as long as her hands. The stuff of nightmares.

Oh God yes, I saw that! Couldn't stop looking at them, they were so wrong! I suppose she could be an alien! 😉👽🤣

Most American chocolate is awful, they rave about Ghirardelli's but it's very average. We once visited the Hershey factory in, I think, Pennsylvania, the smell made me feel ill and the whole town near it stank too!

JudgeJ · 23/02/2024 14:42

The proper use of the apostrophe really isn’t hard to learn.

That also applies to all the common errors in grammar that are often highlighted, there/their, were/was, me/I, the list is almost endless but it seems to take too much effort.

sweatervest · 23/02/2024 14:44

i don't care about anyone running (sport running, not CEO running) anywhere and i don't want to hear about it ever

one day (netflix) was the most boring load of shit i've ever made myself watch

Millie890 · 22/02/2024 22:16

YES!! It's bloody awful.

Crumbles are better made separately, I make the crumble in the air fryer and then top the heated fruit, stops it going soggy where they meet.

Ginandpangolins · 23/02/2024 14:48

I love woo / conspiracy theories. I don't believe in any of it but have a totally captured friend who I meet up with from time and I can never wait to hear what crazed theory she's glommed onto this time around.

Millie890 · 23/02/2024 14:56

In The Lion King, Scar is the best character. Without his one liners, the film would be rubbish.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a hymn to capitalism. All the other reindeer are horrible to him until they realise he can perform a useful function in society.

Encanto has the opposite message (“you’re more than just your gift”).

Hearing people pronounce the name "Esmé" as "Es-me" (rather than Es-may) makes my teeth itch and just sounds really, really wrong to my ears. Very aware AIBU but can't help that it just sounds so WRONG (to me ;))

(Yes, if I ever meet someone called Esmé pronounced as Es-me I call them Es-me)

Well yeah, right. Smile You don't have to have a 'childish palate' to think avocados and olives are minging, or to dislike seafood.

I also bet that poster was not referring to cod and chips from Stevo's chippy when she said seafood either. 😆 Nooooo, got to be the pretentious 'look how middle class I am' type seafood. (Lobster, crab, smoked salmon, oysters, Baeri caviar, crevettes/prawns, whole fresh brille etc etc etc.) 'No common-as-muck battered cod from Stevo's chippy here ta very muchly!' Grin

I have never heard anyone pronounce Esmé that way, but then I don't think I have ever known anyone called Esmé! Grin

I have heard of/known of a few films with an Esmé in though, and it's been pronounced as you say.. (Es-may.) Es-me sounds shite! 😖

I want to pretend it was in some adante garde French film I saw when I was in Paris, but it was actually Carry On Loving! 😆

I love olives. They taste of sunshine and blue skies to me. Love avocado too But I hate seafood. What does that make my palate?

Spitalfieldrose · 23/02/2024 16:31

Human running with nothing chasing is wrong.

YES!!!! I’d go as far as saying going for a walk without a destination is pointless and wrong!
DS1 (24) and I agree on this, His GF is always suggesting going for a nice walk. We’re like where to ?? Nowhere? No thanks 😂

Ooooh, I LOVE hearing stuff like this. Grin I believe some of them. I mean, not EVERYone can be making it all up right?! And I have had several things happen in my life that cannot be explained scientifically. I won't say on here coz you'll all laugh at me. 😆

@KimberleyClark

The palate of a genuinely ordinary, normal person, like we all are. Smile No-one is childish if they don't like avocados and olives and posh seafood, OR banal and arrogant if they do. (I was just pissing about to try and make a point!!) 😆

EbonyRaven · 23/02/2024 16:47

And THAT is a wrap. Wonder if someone will start an UnpopularOpinions 2 thread?!

Grin Have a good weekend everyone. Don't get too cold. Windchill of 0c in the midlands here right now!
