To stat a new “Unpopular Opinions” thread?

Inspired by a clip I just saw on Instagram.

Deep breath.

Here goes.

Robin Williams wasn’t particularly funny.

ETA “Start” obviously.

I personally wish 90% of stuff doesn't say on the label "may contain nuts".
My son who has a nut allergy literally can't eat any shop made cakes and all sorts of things (including his previously loved filled naans). Can't factories keep nuts the fuck away from stuff? I'll be making my own birthday cakes for the rest of my life

People who publicly correct a person’s spelling or grammar are dickheads, same goes for people who publicly correct a person’s pronunciation of a word!

The Olympic Games are bloody tedious (winter or otherwise)
I get asked, did you watch the opening ceremony?
No I didn't, all that insufferable flag waving and endless marching about

The problem is, my baby lost far too much weight during their first few days when I was desperate to exclusively breastfeed. I tried absolutely everything to get my milk supply going - pumping every two hours day and night, non-stop skin to skin, medication, I’ve worked with three different lactation consultants….nothing helped, even during my pregnancy I never felt anything at all in my breasts, no tenderness, nothing changed. My midwife eventually said that I might not physically be able to produce breast milk. These first weeks of my baby’s life where incredibly stressful for me, the last thing I’d have needed is additional guilt hearing about the ‘risks of not breastfeeding’ (which I was and am well aware of anyway).

It's letting people object to planning permission that stopped our housing developer landlord knock down the house we rent from him and build more houses on the vast bit of land it sits on. We avoided another eviction

Nothing about being a victim makes you a nice person.

Absolutely agree with this and will add on people who completely ignore any announcement over the PA system by cabin crew and then ask stupid unnecessary questions later on.

Inheritance tax is a legitimate tax. Most people’s estates fall into it due to untaxed house price gains, and it’s fair enough for these gains to taxed before the significant windfall passes to you’re kids without them doing anything whatsoever to have earned it.

Unpopular opinion? Sophie Ellis Bextor singing sounds like fingernails scratching down a blackboard.

My experience (as a secondary school teacher in a girls' school) is of social contagion, kids who change their names/pronouns and change back again a couple of years later, and vulnerable and/or ASD girls who are struggling and probably see it as an escape from something (and are probably chronically online and being influenced).

Jenny and Lee on Gogglebox are really annoying and not funny.

Avocado is the devils work.

white socks over leggings with trainers - vile

dogs should not be allowed in restaurants/shops etc (exception of service dogs)

vaping should be illegal

Dogs shouldn’t be off lead in public. If you want to let your dog off their lead, get a big enough garden. If you can’t afford a house with a big garden, tough!

Agreed, also alcohol is carcinogenic.

People demonise sugar far too much, but don’t seem to understand that alcohol is also a sugar - but toxic, and it’s 7 calories per gram as opposed to 4 calories a gram.

They’re someone’s child. What a totally callous way to describe them.

Tell me you don’t eat good and flavourful food without telling me

Can you elaborate on each of your points please?
What is it exactly that you don't get about each of the things you've listed?
I'm asking because I feel EXACTLY the same but keep it to myself and don't tell anyone because I thought I was the only woman in the world that feels like this 😂
So I'd love to hear your reasons for not getting all this stuff!

cannot abide craft beer of any description especially craft lager , just let it taste like normal lager rather than trying to make it taste like bitter

if i go to a pub , let me sit at the bar rather than be ushered off to a table and then wait to be served

love the bbc and dont mind paying the licence fee either I think its good value

This here is fighting talk.....I don't like straight macaroni, neither do my children. Curved macaroni all the way (and yes I know they are made of the same dough).

So that would be people seriously disabled from birth or in childhood. Oh and as these people are not valuable presumably their care givers unless they have these children very young and might be able to work after that.

I think a lot of these aren't unpopular opinions at all, quite the opposite.

However...

• Chavs exist.

• Some names/behaviours/looks are chavvy and will cause the recipient to be judged, possibly unfairly. Chavdom is a choice and you are free to avoid it if you wish. If you don't then I don't think it's reasonable to object to being judged on it.

• Not everybody who can't spell is dyslexic.

• Poor spelling and grammar do make a person look a bit thick.

• Those who believe the above opinions are horrible and say they never judge others based upon their appearance or other ways they initially present themselves are lying. They do. We all do because that's just human nature.

Those are my unpopular opinions and yes, they're all very unpleasant. I know. In my defence I am delighted to be proved wrong on any of these judgements as I get to know the person better.

Huge proportion all children are noisy, spoilt little shits with parents who don't parent.
