Lycra is a privilege, not a right. Most people shouldn't wear it. And leggings are not trousers.

Mental health may be an invisible illness but sometimes suffers do just need to put their big girl/ boy pants on and get on with life . ( or maybe just my DH should)

THAT Bolt Pharmacy ad (Google it) highlighted what everyone else is thinking, and Snag Tights only “advocated” against it to siphon the attention.

I agree, to an extent. Navel gazing is not good for the soul, mind, or body.

People with expensive powerful cars who toodle around at 10 mph under the speed limit should have the car taken away and given to me and get a picanto instead.

Yes. Performative underspeeding. Because they're so relaxed and mellow. The increasingly frustrated queue behind them, not so much. Fuck off are you treading lightly on the earth, in your massive fucking tank. Just accept that you're same as the rest of us screwing the planet, get to where you're going and get out of my way. Cunt.

Half the people with “late diagnosed autism” aren’t autistic.

The holes in Crocs are where your dignity leaks out from

I live in my crocs

My BiL was of much the same opinion as me, then he got a pair for around the house, then he was just nipping to the local shop in them, and now he only takes them off his feet to put golf shoes on. They’re insidious. I’m too frightened to ever try a pair on in case the same thing happens to me.

When parents proudly tell me their child still believes in Father Christmas past the age of about six, I smile and say “Aw, how lovely” but what I’m actually thinking is “That kid must be a bit thick”.

Anyone who does triathlons is self obsessed/selfish. See also most marathon runners.

I run ultra marathons, I’m wondering why you think it’s selfish or self obsessed? I’ve never expected my family to be at any finish line, DH and I have always ensured each of us has time for our ourselves while the children are cared for when one of us are doing our hobbies. I seriously don’t understand why it’s self obsessed or selfish.

There are too many huge obnoxious 4x4/SUVs on the road, and half of the owners can’t properly drive or park them

That isn’t what you said in your post or thread title though. You just asked for opinions we wouldn’t say out loud; you didn’t say ‘but only if they’re about men or non-mums and only if I agree with them’.

One of my unpopular opinions is that mums are just as likely to be total arseholes as everyone else.

Fair enough, I'm saying it now

Theres a difference between saying weatherman should be hot, and shaming mums for things outside of their control 🤷‍♀️

Adults (anyone above the age of 8 actually) who eat with their mouths open/talk with food in their mouths should have to go and sit on their own and consider their behaviour.

Agree, but tbh you're too kind. Anybody who does so much as a lipsmack once should be deported from Earth! In my 41 years I've never needed to open my gob whilst eating. When i'm queen of the world I shall make it so! 😂

🤣🤣 We had to tell my DS in the summer holidays before secondary school so he wouldn’t get bullied 🥲

😄😄 I can honestly tell you girl that once you put them on, you won't be able to stop wearing them

😂😂😂 This is what happened to me. I wore a pair of my sons to do something and I was so impressed that I bought some for “round the house”. I can confirm I now wear them anywhere and they are too comfortable for me to care about how ugly they are.

Possibly just your "d" h. I repeatedly try to get those big girl pants on but I end up getting sacked, then sectioned, then sedated and it's crap for everyone including me.

BauhausOfEliott · 17/03/2026 23:40

People who win several million quid on the lottery and don’t give up work should be made to give the money back, so it can go to someone with the imagination to actually enjoy it instead

I think the key word there was sometimes. Not everyone. Hope you’re ok at the moment?

London shouldn't be essentially closed down just because a load of tossers feel like running a marathon in it.

TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 17/03/2026 23:41

Cyclists are all selfish cunts who think it's okay to go through every red light they encounter.

While I smile and say 'mmm' to the neighbourhood bin monitor as he goes on yet another rant about the huge commercial bin on the other side of the road, I'm mostly fantasising about upending him into it.
