Unpopular Opinions

There isn't a UO thread yet? I guess some people are too busy posting their UOs in separate threads.

I have a love-hate relationship with Wondfos. They are so cheap, but sometimes their cheapness shows. I have gotten a bunch lately that have weird rough patches in the test line zone. 

Even so, I don't think it's worth spending money on more expensive tests. I mean, the prices are outrageous and all you are paying for is the plastic casing.

Leggings are not pants!  I was driving onto campus today and a huge amount of female students were wearing leggings as pants.  If your top does not cover your ass, wear pants.

Ugg boots are terribly ugly.  I don't care how warm/cozy they are... they are hideous.  Especially with shorts/skirts/dresses!

I dislike pretty much every season except summer, but I especially hate fall. The heat's not on yet, but the temp drops and I spend all of October shivering. Case in point: today, as I sit here with my coat wrapped around my legs.

I'm not a fan of the man bun. This should be for ladies only.

Effing YES. Thank you. As soon as leaves started falling it's like every other college girl swapped their jeans for leggings. And half the time you can clearly see their underwear through the leggings. Or they have a camel toe.
Or, they swapped them for short dresses that show everything when they bend over. And then they bend over in front of the whole class, and we get an eye full of things we don't want to see. Like what happened on Monday.
Now I can't even look her in the face because I'm scarred for life. Patients and sick people are one thing. A fellow student is totally different.

What happened to the part of the dress code that said we had to wear business casual every day for lectures? I'm pretty sure I'd get a nasty-gram if I showed up to work with my vagina flapping in the wind.

Patterned leggings are heinous on everyone except for maybe those under the age of 10. Everyone else, knock it off.

Leggings as pants are unacceptable unless you're a child (and I say that mostly because as 90s child, stirrup leggings with the stirrups not around my feet were my go to bottoms) or are exercising in which case they're usually much thicker so you don't have the see through issues that you do with standard leggings.

My UO, I hate pumpkin spice. I don't like pumpkin spice lattes or cookies or whatever else pumpkin spice they make. Don't like pumpkin pie either and seeing pumpkin spice everything this time of year irks me. Urgh.

As to the earlier comment about uggs, they are insanely comfortable! I wear them but under boot cut jeans so you can't see much of them, they are solely for comfort. It bugs me when people don't walk properly and the back of their uggs are all messed up and gross.

Oh I like the fashion-flame thing we have going on today.

On that note, kitten heels.  Wear a flat, or a proper 2-3" heel.  Kitten heels just look incredibly awkward and neither elongate the leg like a heel or are as comfortable as a flat.

bpfeiff84

@sgoldberg247 - Thank you and I was also a stirrup pant wearer!  Workout pants are definitely different.  However, I am the person who wears my activewear everywhere.  It must be from the years of either doing gymnastics or coaching gymnastics.  I've provided a fun activewear video for all of your entertainment!

https://youtu.be/CYRENWT8lz8

 I wholeheartedly agree with you about uggs, they are incredibly comfortable!!!  I do have large calves though so I'm probably one of the people you hate.  My Uggs get messed up because my calves are enormous from years of tumbling.

There are many items that I call only acceptable on "the under 5 crowd"
Leggings as pants
Crocs
Overalls

bpfeiff84

@FloridaStanley - I've seen overalls at lots of stores lately.  They are coming back with a vengeance!

jolydan

@bpfeiff84 Omg I love the video. I'm totally guilty of the active wear since I quit my job!

sldp123

While I understand why it's rude and can be a trigger for some people, I guess my UO is that I'm not bothered by the drive-by BFPs that get posted here sometimes. It just doesn't matter to me that some random person I don't know is pregnant. IRL announcements bother me way too much though.

Guilty of the kitten heel, but I'm not supposed to wear proper heels. That 0.5-1" makes a difference in my head and I pretend I'm 5' tall.

My UO I don't think we should put we're lurking from WTO if we're congratulating BFPs. I forget half the time and the other half I'm bitter just typing it.

Edit because I always seem to type OU and think it's correct (Ohio University=/=Unpopular opinion)

Hopefully it's like how the romper "came back" a few years ago, mostly in runways and those people who buy a new wardrobe every year, no one else (at least that I know).  

I am so fashion unaware.  I have the same wardrobe that I had 5 years ago, other than a few new additions to replace items that were beginning to show their age and I am totally content with that.  I get really upset when companies change the cut of items and then slightly change the name (ie boot cut to kick boot) and you aren't aware and you buy a new pair of jeans only to get home and realize they don't fit properly.

I'm totally going to be rocking my leggings (but they're thick, non see through ponte pants) and LL Bean Uggs soon! Guess I'm in the minority here.

My UO: I think the Bachelor/Bachelorette are the stupidest shows on television.

You mean you really don't love all the drama of Bachelor/Bachelorette?  Love Love Love

@bpfeiff84 "in stores" and "fashionable and not ugly" are two totally different things!

HAHAHA,  I love that GIF!  

The bachelor/bachelorette is my guilty pleasure but I refuse to draw it out over an entire season, I record them and then marathon it right before the finale.  I need the drama resolved, cliff hangers and me don't get along very well. 

ShallowSeas

Adults who wear slut-tastic Halloween costumes.  Like, I get the want to look cute or sexy, but do you really have to wear a bra and panty set that resembles a super hero's costume or character? There are other ways to look sexy in costume.

bpfeiff84

@FloridaStanley, agreed.  I should have prefaced with I think that overalls are  awful.  The only time I think they're cute is on children and old farmers.  My grandpa was a farmer and he used to wear them daily.  It makes me smile every time I see an old man in overalls

babyexpress

K, this my last bachelor/bacherlotte GIF, but it cracks me up

Have you seen these? https://www.buzzfeed.com/hillaryroseh/21-sexy-halloween-costumes-that-are-failing-em6s 

Sexy Bert and Ernie? Sexy Scrabble? Kill me. Along those lines, the gender specific kids costumes are awful. Why is the ninja turtle costume for boys a pant set and for girls its a cutesy dress??

ShallowSeas

@KDHB13 yes! its awful.  Someone on my Instagram posted a picture of a TMNT corset and panty set that they were wanting to wear for Halloween....why??!  We're not 21 year old college kids. Even if we were, still , why??!

sorarose

I enjoy the skinny jean and UGG look, personally. I will confess to wearing leggings when I'm running errands and won't run into anybody I know.

I admit ... The Bachelor/ Bachelorette / Bachelor in Paradise are my guilty pleasure shows. No one knows that I watch them besides my husband and mom. It's like watching a car accident... I just can't turn away.


My UO: I hate Starbucks coffee. I can only drink tea there.

Sweaters/tunic tops and leggings pretty much make up my "uniform" these days. I think leggings are cool as long as your top fully covers your butt. 

ArtlessIbex

I hate this fall's fashion.  Has anyone been to H&M this fall?  DH and I went and pretty much rolled on the floor laughing and pointing.

Please enjoy this gem from the ladies' section.  My favorite part is the price tag.

For an afternoon of hilarious fun, go browse the website.  The mens' section is also a treat.

 

MissAmeliaPond

Overalls are horrible, leggings as pants are horrible, pumpkin spice lattes are horrible, and of course women wearing activewear as clothing without actually being active in the clothing is also frowned upon. Pretty much everything everyone has said today, I agree with!

Except Uggs. I love my Uggs.

0Face

I'm pretty sure those are snow pants.  I just can't.  Nope.

indulgentgypsy

I do not think "The Office " is funny.

@CoachBeckyCooper I watched the first episode and just wanted to cringe myself into a hole.

It was at first. After the 2nd season or so (maybe later, I don't really remember), it took a turn. Everything was painfully awkward and the characters were just cruel to each other. Just unfunny. 

kelseyac

@artlesslbex sad part is no matter how hideous they are some people will actually buy them and wear them  :-q

momstahp

I don't even care if I'm a basic bitch, I love my tights (as long as my butt is covered of course), ESPECIALLY patterned tights, I love uggs and don't care that they are ugly, and I want everything pumpkin spice.  Also I kind of love that overalls are back in.  I've never been much of a fashion person though, so take it for what it's worth lol

I do draw the line at crocs.

LOL, @momstahp my UO was going to be that I also like my leggings & just got some patterned ones, wear uggs during the fall because they are comfy & so easy to throw on, & love pumpkin spice. You lost me at the overalls, though, but I'm also perfectly fine being a basic (& comfortable as hell) bitch! 

Kballew10

I so want patterned leggings!  Cheap ones, in case I don't like them...

@DeePaddy24 - Where did you get yours from?

Eww, I know Crocs are so ugly.  What about these new fun fashion statements.  Totally hideous
