People who wear those fancy long acrylic nails can't possibly be wiping their bottoms properly.

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

Even single people with no children to think about? Why are they selfish?

@Isadora2007 ignore my last post, I've read all the replies now

For lots of men it’s part of their religion, nothing to do with laziness.

These sorts of earnest responses really miss the point of a thread like this.

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

Long false fingernails are disgusting, unhygienic, dangerous and utterly pointless.

Unsurprising.

My old friends who think I'm missing out because I'm child free by choice. They are so beggy and sad desperate for attention on how great their kids are... it really does make me sad for them that they may actually be the ones who are a bit lonely 🙁

@IPM some people leave a reply like that to bump the post if op has not had many replies

Why so rude? It was a genuine question.

They have lots of points, about 10 usually

No one should ever wear leggings without a long top - no one wants to see the wobbly bottom/dimpled arses /thong lines 🤮🤮tmi.

Bertiebiscuit · 18/03/2026 02:03

We should do like the Spanish and fine men who walk around with no top on in summer - no one wants to see the midriff bulges, hairy armpits or hairy shoulders 🤢🤢🤢beyond gross

That’s not an unpopular opinion

It might be a tad unpopular amonst footballers

Only children/adults are often some of the weirdest people you’ll meet.

Batties · 18/03/2026 02:12

Mine is that I think that people who watch porn are lacking in their moral compass. Particularly, as so many women are coerced into it. It’s completely inexcusable. Anyone who finds that appealing is disturbed.

it was a little embarrassing how ugly our royal family was prior to Kate and Meghan marrying in and raising the standard. I secretly suspect that it made the world see Brits as somewhat unattractive by extension.

Brits ARE somewhat unattractive, compared to most other nationalities!

What are you basing that on.

GrumpyButOk · 18/03/2026 02:19

Drivers should slow down generally, those who speed are reckless and irresponsible. Unless it's me in a hurry, in which case why can't you all get out of my way??

GrumpyButOk · 18/03/2026 02:21

I'm always secretly pleased when I see someone in a 4x4 or SUV really struggling to maneouvre into a parking space.

People who say “Now, I’m no prude, but…” are, in fact, always prudes.

People who say "Now, I'm no prune, but..." are, in fact, always wrinkly.

Yep which is why I dont share this opinion in general and am sharing it here. Im pretty sure most people doing iron man training and ultra marathons don’t take their kids training either… and not jealous but do wish I didn’t have such a strong feeling of what Mums should and shouldn’t do.

Hey @Isadora2007 ,

Stretching this thought process a little further, I wondered does this opinion extend to Olympians? Or footballers like the Lionesses, representing their country on the world stage?

These people spend an inordinate amount of time away from their family to pursue their goals (pun not intended).

Additionally, is this just a sports thing? Or does it extend to people who have other very time consuming professions, such as heart surgeons or surgical oncologists? Again from experience these people have very little time with their family day-to-do, due to the demands of the profession they've chosen.

Alternatively if the ultra marathon competitor was doing it as their main job, I.e representing their country in athletic/ running competitions, would it be less of an issue for you?

I only ask because most people cannot 'afford' to represent their country, they have to have day jobs to facilitate their day-to-day life, so if people didn't pursue their passions as a hobby, we'd likely have even more individuals existing with mental health challenges.

Any sentence on social media that starts with the word "Logically" concludes with the biggest load of bollocks you've read in weeks.
