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.

Chewing gum is absolutely rank!

Chewing on a piece of mint flavoured plastic, thinking it will improve your breath 🤷‍♀️ I want to heave whenever I see it or smell it.

Just thinking about it makes my mouth water as though I'm going to be sick 🤢

I love Wetherspoons. Good choice on menu. Cheap. Quick service.

100% agree about sloths. Horrible creepy things.

Also - bacon is overrated, Stephen Fry is annoying and the Oxford comma is wrong.

Just to say that your comment about bacon appeared just above the ad for Peppa Pig and it made me laugh.

Peppa Pig is a fucking entitled little monster and I’d happily turn her into bacon

Human running with nothing chasing is wrong.

Omg yes lol

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

Yes! I end up overloading on sides though.

A Sunday lunch on any day other than a Sunday is not a Sunday lunch.

Nachtvlinder · 19/02/2024 22:33

Don't get the hype with Taylor Swift. Boring.
Same for Beyonce.

I know I'm getting old, but why do girls/women love to show off their bits with barely there clothing - it's getting too sexualised and sadly, it's affecting young girls growing up (and boys too)

QueenBean22 · 19/02/2024 22:34
  1. Wine is disgusting
  2. It is ok for your children to not have every minute of spare time filled with activities, boredom can be good for them
  3. Mince pies are yuck
  4. water slides are not fun
  5. Laundry can be done less frequently than is probably done.
  6. Mum dates with school mums are forced and horrendous

I absolutely disagree that dogs are dirty (and pigs too) by people who run away from them due to their chosen religion. (Hope I'm not being too controversial!)

Carwashandthemoog · 19/02/2024 22:39

Tomorrowillbeachicken yes, hence the reason I mentioned dh. A shite Netflix dubbed film is his idea of foreplay!

Not controversial. More racist.

Fizbosshoes · 19/02/2024 22:42

I think its OK to use an ensuite bathroom for any bodily function as long as you're the only one in it!

Jaffa cakes are too nasty to be classified as a cake or a biscuit and definitely not a chocolate

I don't mind getting Bayliss and Harding toiletries

I don't think Mr Brightside is a great song

I've never found Friends funny enough to sit through a whole episode

All tattoos are gross and label the wearer as being a bit dim.

All dogs should be destroyed.

A day out at the cricket is better than going shopping.

Horse racing is the best sport in the world.

Most people aren’t very bright and are incapable of independent thought. They just repeat the prevailing narrative they see on social media.

Religion is not a race therefore being critical of a religion does not constitute racism.

MasterBeth · 19/02/2024 22:43

Horse racing is nearly as boring as car racing.

Gravy - vile stuff

moomoomoo27 · 19/02/2024 22:45

Rugs on top of carpets are stupid.

People who complain their bra underwires always break when it's because they just wash their bras on usual setting ignoring the instructions on the label to not do that (use the handwash/delicates setting on washing machine).

Do you include yourself in the not very bright category?

Religion is not a race therefore being critical of a religion does not constitute racism.

"Religion is not a race therefore being critical of a religion does not constitute racism" is a well-known racist trope used to encourage racism towards Jews and Muslims, often seen on social media and repeated by racist idiots.

Baked beans = sugary sweet mush.. No thank you.

Charlie2121 · 19/02/2024 22:49

MasterBeth · 19/02/2024 22:43

Horse racing is nearly as boring as car racing.

It is if you don’t understand the nuances of the sport and also don’t bet.

I can see why outsiders struggle with it because the whole narrative is lost on them.

Think you’re picking on the wrong person here. If you knew my personal circumstances you’d appreciate how ridiculous your comment is.

Tbf so do humans… we probably eat more birds than cats per year

I definitely ate more birds than cats last year. Haven’t eaten any birds or cats so far this year. Am I even trying…

pitsoffashion · 19/02/2024 22:52

My ‘unpopular mumsnet opinions’ are:

I like the name Nevaeh. I just think it sounds nice!
McDonald’s is nice (lunch or breakfast)
KFC is even nicer
I like home decor from The Range, home bargains, Dunelm, IKEA etc.
Wetherspoons are fine
