I think gender reveal parties are stupid and are just a lame excuse to have a party.

I think baby showers are stupid too. You're having a baby like... what's the point? So all your friends and family can buy you baby stuff so you don't have to?

Edit: Imo, it's a way to make said friends and family feel guilty about having to buy you things.

Push presents are also really lame.

I have so many gripes about the phrase "the customer is always right." I can see the good that whoever coined the phrase had intended with respect to providing a positive customer experience. I don't know what happened over time, but some bad apples have just used this mentality as a reason for feeling entitled.

As someone who have worked in a second hand store and I had to deal with that too much... Like why is it so hard to respect the store's rules?

My sister worked at Giant Tiger and the manager there would allow customers the break the rules, thus making the problem worse. You weren't allowed to take back underwear (which is obvious as to why) but this lady made a complete fool of herself, screaming and carrying on that the manager gave in. Way to let the customer know that they can get their way if they throw a hissyfit.

Yeah, we had people throw minor fits as well and it's like, it says here you can't do this and that and they always went on whining to the manager who sometimes let them slip like...no.

Enablers of this type of behaviour definitely don't help. Gotta love it when grown adults act more like children than actual children do. What a world we live in.

I think baby showers are fine if it's your first baby but nowadays people have them each time they're pregnant. It's like, you have 5 kids already. You don't need people to buy you anymore stuff. You already have it all.

Well I agree with the OP that January and February are the best months, that is summer over here and I get a little bit of time off from work around that time so it's pretty good times. I also live right near several beaches so I love it.

Other unpopular opinions:
-I prefer the British office over the American version (I am not British or American so it's not to do with bias, more just my taste in humour)
-Mac n cheese is revolting
-I don't like small dogs, bigger breeds ftw

- Spring and Fall/Autumn are the worst seasons where I live. I don't care about pretty colours it's basically cold as **** seasons, you don't know what to wear, sun is out but not warming you up..you only get cold sweats and think you're sick which is really awesome due to covid-19 too.
- Chili/pepper etc. are worst crisps flavours
- I don't like plain potato crisps unless I have a dip sauce with them
- Mario Kart 64 is best Mario kart. Wii is a close second.

breakfast foods for breakfast are the worst. I'm talkin about when I go to the dining hall at 9am to get something to eat and all they have are scrambled eggs, biscuits, bacon, pancakes, etc. it's not that I hate those foods, I just really don't like to eat them for breakfast.

I like to eat stuff that one might eat for dinner, for breakfast. for instance, right now I would love to be able to go get some pasta and marinara sauce but I know that if I don't wait til at least 11am they'll only have those stupid breakfast foods.


tl;dr breakfast foods should be banned

Avocado is terrible lol. It also sucks in sushi.

[DarkDesertFox]

I don't think we should really get into the habbit of making memes out of people's names. Like the whole "Karen" thing. There are... actually a lot of people out there named Karen. Same for naming devices after people I mean come on. I just feel so bad for these people who have to deal with the pokes and jabs because of stuff like this.

Boomer, Karen, and Snowflake are disrespectful terms that are often (not always, but a lot of the time) used to undermine the opinions of others. Always be respectful!

Boomer are definitely a bad term to use, what's the deal with undermining people over like, 25 or what it is? They probably have more experience than those 17 years old.

They also used the term “Millennial” to refer to anybody who has far-left values (like socialism and PC censorship). I’m a millennial, and I’m on the right wing (not going to be a liberal any time within my lifetime). I also read articles written by millennial columnists (which are also all conservative).

I love tarantulas and other arachnids along with most insects and creepy crawlies.
