What’s disliked on Mumsnet but very popular in everyday life?

What's hated on MN, but insanely popular in real life?

Disney World
Starbucks, Costa, Nero etc
Center Parcs
A sensible political stance
McDonald's

What else?

I make my own or have sourdough because ones like Kingsmill or Warburtons give me really bad acid reflux. Otherwise I really wouldn’t mind the bog standard sliced loaf.

Wine

Oh god, yes!

People who ask 'is this flag racist?'

Er - apart from perhaps the Nazi swastika, it's not possible for a flag to be racist. The motives for putting it up in a particular place at a particular time might just be, but the MN knee-jerk of hating English or Union flags is tiresome.

I'm sure they all love the pretty tricolor flags all over French towns and cities! But that's different, of course.

Sure, there are some malevolent people around just now - but we shouldn't give in to them. Don't let them claim these flags.

Daily Mail

en suites
TVs in bedrooms

definitely all the posts about how useless men are.

Another vote for Nero. Head and shoulders above Costa and the horrible Starbucks - oh, and many independents too, I'm afraid to say.

I think their coffee is excellent and so do several of my coffee connoisseur friends!

@Heronwatcher I honestly would not turn up at someone’s house without a text first. Unless I need them to call emergency services or something I just wouldn’t do it.

You’re saying people love them in real life? Maybe if you’re under 30. I don’t know anyone who loves them. Some people might not loathe and detest them but I certainly don’t know anyone who loves them.

Creepy.

Most people I know aren't obsessed with 0.1% of the population. They also believe that "a measure of a civilised society is how the majority treats the minorities". Quite simple really.

I think it's because (broadly speaking) the Left are more motivated by hope and the Right are more motivated by fear.

Most people I know don't want blokes in a dress being able to use the same bathrooms as their daughter.

Hyphenated first names like Lily-Mae and Evie-Rose. MN hates them but there's zillions where I live.

It's not absurdly liberal 😂

😂

Why are they the scum of the earth? They're not my cup of tea but "scum of the earth" appears a tad harsh.

Bisexuality

Given some of the threads over the last week parts of MN definitely aren't and I suspect you might be one one of them!

I defo am not!

Mumsnet is crawling with Reform voters these days. If you think Reform are "absurdly liberal", your political compass is wayward indeed.

Teachers.
They can never do anything right on mumsnet.

Love a murder mystery night!

Yep. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if some people these days think Nige doesn’t go far enough!

I honestly can't think of one person who thinks hogging the middle lane is anything but a pain in the ass, and I have heard plenty of drivers complaining about the car not moving out of the way.

I am not sure that's that popular in real life?
