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.

Ethically I see no problem with cats/ dogs being eaten.

Id never do it (yeuch) but on paper I don’t see why cows, horse, rabbits, chickens can be eaten but not dogs.

But still, yeuch

Judgejudysno1fan · 19/02/2024 21:49

Love island : gross
The TV show Friends and their incessant references to porn, sex, etc : gross
Tea & coffee, not a fan.
Bubble tea! Yuck!
Tattoos, vile
Mouth piercings, hideous.
Septum piercings, ridiculous, but nose piercings fine.
Alcohol, yuck
People who get hammered and call making fools of themselves great and having a good time getting legless is making memories, big time gross.
Ham sandwiches ewwwww

Bottles of water, travel water bottles, incessant water drinking is setting back evolution and hindering human development. Have a glass of water with your meals you big stupid suckling babies.

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

Struggling to think of a less popular opinion than shitting in front of a partner is awful. Not sure you have understood the thread.

Imperial measurements should be scrapped and it’s ridiculous that estate agents still use them (sometimes totally omitting metric) on Rightmove when most of the population grew up with metric.

School uniforms are not necessary.

It’s best to watch the film before reading the book to avoid disappointment.

IClaudine · 19/02/2024 21:54

Love Actually is a terrible film, apart from Emma Thompson when she unwraps the Joni Mitchell CD 😭.

TeenLifeMum · 19/02/2024 21:55

Dh and I didn’t like traitors. We watch the first episode and it was so over dramatic and they took it so seriously, we just couldn’t bring ourselves to watch more. We seem to be the only people who don’t like it though. I’m usually a total sheep for TV fads (I don’t like love island though - except the celebrity one with Sophie Dahl and Shane from Boyzone years ago).

Urgh yes. I want to leave the room in embarrassment when people say “poorly”. Ghastly.

Add "tummy" to that. No grown adult should be using the phrase "poorly and/or tummy".

Childish and unnecessary

People who love animals more than people are psychopaths.

This. People who refer to their dogs as their babies... Envy

Also, butterflies are evil. I don't understand why people can say they like butterflies but are scared of moths... they are the same.

People who say they've seen a ghost are not only idiots (obviously), but hugely arrogant idiots who would rather believe that everything we know about science is wrong before they would consider that their own eyesight/perception might be mistaken.

But science can't disprove them.

I think it's shortsighted to not believe the many people who have seen them.

You do know you can get drops, don’t you?

No, I have never heard of them. Hmm
When I get sticky ears and that awful sensation, I know what I will do next time, just add some more grease to it.

I don't need to unblock my ears, just want them dry.

I don’t eat any meat but I said similar to my niece, who wasn’t amused when I talked about eating capybaras that look like massive guinea pigs

HermioneRuby1 · 19/02/2024 22:08

Cats, especially the ones that keep crapping in my garden!!

Many people haven't seen a ghost because ghosts don't exist. They think they've seen something and maybe they have, and they've misattributed what they've seen to being a ghost. Or, they haven't seen anything at all but their brain has imagined/hallucinated something, which is something brains do a lot.

But it's arrogant in the extreme to think "no, I can't possibly be mistaken. It must be that everything we know about physics and biology is wrong."

No, ethically I can’t find fault with that either. I wouldn’t eat them myself but you’re right that it’s no different to eating the other mammals that we eat.

  1. There is not a black person on every single advert on TV.

  2. Which brands should decide not to feature any black people in their TV advertising?

Agree! Burnt meat and spend ages waiting for it to be ready. I do like the sides though!
