UO Thursday

Let's hear what wrong opinions you hold.  



And let's am hope I don't laugh so loudly everyone in this tiny office with paper-thin walls knows I'm not actually busy.

The only Cheetos worth eating are the white cheddar ones. The rest belong in the garbage. 

jrm_14

@pebbledam I like the white cheddar ones, but the crunchy.  

lurvleybunchococonuts

pfft... you are soooo wrong @pebbledam The puff type cheetos are worthless!  I'm all about the crunchy ones, especially the flaming hot ones or the jalapeno cheddar ones!  

I have no UO at the moment.  I'll have to think about it somemore.

pebbledam

@lurvleybunchococonuts - And that's what's so fantastic about these Cheetos - They are kind of in between the crunchy and the original puffs.

@jrm_14 - I haven't seen the crunchy ones in white cheddar. 

jrm_14

@pebbledam. I have only seen them at Halloween time in the bone shapes. @lurvleybunchococonuts said it more bluntly than I did-  crunchy>>>>>puffy.  

I side eye adults who LOVELOVELOVE dressing up for Halloween and go all out.

People who constantly post on social media (like, once a week or more) about how great their relationship is are probably in a bad relationship. 

jrm_14

@zamora_spin. I saw a social study once on the relationship quality of that.  It concluded the more people gush all the mush social media, the lower they scored on overall relationship satisfaction.  I will (maybe) do a birthday post for MH.  I did when I graduated with my MS since I seriously could not have done it without him.  I don't post every time he does the dishes, puts the seat down, picks me flowers, etc.  

darkstar42

@zamora_spin and @jrm_14 I saw that study too! I wonder (being a social scientist) if there's a third variable causing both bad relationships and oversharing on social media, like narcissism or insecure attachment style (not that that always is bad for relationships!).

My UO: I don't like smartphones, don't have one, and don't plan to get one.

jrm_14

@darkstar42. I am on my phone way more than I would like. I think my marriage would be a lot more engaging without it.  And television.  I hate television.  

pebbledam

@darkstar42 - I have a love/hate relationship with my smartphone. I'm impressed that you've held out for so long!

Now that cell phones have a "do not disturb" mode, I think I should be able to call or text anyone anytime I want. Everyone keeps different hour, how am I supposed to know when you sleep and wake up? Put your phone on do not disturb mode! This especially annoys me when my BIL is overseas and gets annoyed when people text or call him when he's trying to sleep. Or my SIL gets annoyed when people text or call her while she's napping. How am I supposed to know that? 

Confession: I keep my phone on DND almost all the time

Summer is the worst season. 

bjkay22

I have several UO:

I think "How I Met Your Mother," was a not great show. It was like background noise for me. I wasn't a fan of the characters (except Marshal) and I thought Barney was so character-y that I couldn't stand him. 

also

Hot cheetos suck, all other cheetos are good but NOT hot cheetos. 

also 

People who post on social media asking questions that could so easily be answered on google drive me BSC. Like during the eclipse people asking "when was last eclipse" or some dumb shit that would have taken THE SAME AMOUNT OF EFFORT to type that exact "sentence" into google and you would have received a more accurate and timely answer? Facebook is full of idiots, don't ask them anything! 

charlestonchew

@jrm_14 I love Halloween and dressing up but have nowhere to go so I don't
@darkstar42 I don't think I could live wothout my smart phone at this point in my life...so sad

UO: winning the lottery sounds more terrifying than fun only because I don't know what that money would do to me and the people around me and I've never managed that much money before. But I still play lol

RVAmom315

@lalala2004 I had a friend who'd get mad at me all the time because I'd text her and she'd be asleep. It was like 2 in the afternoon. How the F am I supposed to know you're sleeping!? Oh right because you don't have a job. Argh. Nevermind that's a story for another day - needless to say we're no longer friends.

UO Bologna is my favorite lunch meat (or would that be a FFFC?) Oh well. It's staying.

jrm_14

@lalala2004. I completely agree!  
@RVAmom315. I have a giantvlove of bologna.
@charlestonchew. At least you don't spend hundreds on dressing up with nowhere to go.
@duckingfabulous. I somewhat agree.  I hate, double hate, loathe entirely the winter. 

jrm_14

I prefer mobile TB. Tagging is much easier. Desktop & laptop versions always glitch out on me.  

KristoKekerooni

I never play but hey, why not?

I love the word "moist"

I don't really like cats and I don't understand the obsession. 

I'm not a fan of pizza, mac n cheese, grilled cheese, or hotdogs. And the only french fries I like are from McDonald's. 

Tangled is way better than Frozen. 

And here's the kicker: I like Nickleback

jrm_14

@KristoKekerooni. I have a Nickleback Pandora station.  Totally owning that.

bjkay22

@KristoKekerooni oh Tangled is 120 times better than Frozen (although my fave is Brave) 

jsnakehole

Moana is the superior recent Disney movie



@KristoKekerooni
As a cat lover-

sandbar517

I love bagpipes.  

doxiemoxie212

I'm annoyed there isn't any drama yet in the May BMB. It's only fun to stalk a BMB you're not a part of if there's drama! lol

wishiwaspreggo

Having palpitations over the Nickleback love. I fell into ownership of a couple Nickllback concert tickets so I put them up for sale inn stubhub thinking maybe someone would buy them for cheap. Somebody bought them and I though "Wow, there is someone out there who actually wants to watch Nickleback perform." To each their own!!

My UO: I hate cooking blogs but I love recipes. Like I don't care about your husband's ranch, Ree, just teach me how to make macaroni and cheese that doesn't turn into glue! And he's not the Marlboro Man so stop calling him that!!!

And stop posting those data-munching high-def pictures!!! I don't need to see every molecule on the plate. Good grief.

sandbar517

@doxiemoxie212, the girl who hadn't tested yet but was posting anyway was fun-do we know what happened with her?

lalala2004

@wishiwaspreggo I feel the same way about blogs! IDGAF about your life, just tell me how to make the casserole! Sometimes the pictures are helpful, but mostly just showing off a fancy camera.

doxiemoxie212

@sandbar517 everyone ignored her/was polite to her! I mean, TBH there are like 7 people in the May BMB because the opened it so early, but still - where the crazies at??

nitnat007

@doxiemoxie212 @sandbar517 Was so waiting for her to get flamed too. I mean, can you just imagine if everyone rushed over to the BMB every month before even POAS? I have almost convinced myself every month thus far that I am KTFU. Chaos

doxiemoxie212

@nitnat007 wow you really liked that gif

nitnat007

@doxiemoxie212 I tried to just put it in once and it isnt even showing up on my side.....I think my gif is broken. Sorry!! I cant see it to delete them   

ETA ...fixed from mobile. 

doxiemoxie212

@nitnat007 lol no worries, I just thought it was funny like RAWR ALL THE STEVE HARVEY GIFS 

Dilynne

I just learned this was not the norm apparently - I think it's okay to find someone other than your spouse attractive. Like I have a friend whose brother is super handsome and H is cool with that. He tells me about this pretty lady at work all the time. I see no issues with it. 

Eta: spelling is hard. 

lurvleybunchococonuts

@nitnat007 I wouldn't delete them, I think the multitude of the same gif adds to the air of chaos you're describing

RVAmom315

@Dilynne I agree completely. I like to say, "just because I'm on a diet doesn't mean I can't look at the menu"! I think it's human nature to be attracted to other people/find others attractive. As long as you don't act on it, or are lusting inappropriately, I see no reason not to.

Pinky917

@Dilynne @RVAmom315 I'm with you guys as well. Like you said, it is human nature. I am also always surprised by the amount of women I hear of that are totally against their SO watching porn. As long as these things are remaining appropriate and not affecting your relationship what is the big deal?

charlestonchew

I have no idea if this is UO or confession but I am curious if that person who posted in multiple threads about IB and temp drops ended up pregnant. In invested in the drama and want to follow it to the end lol

I didn't want to tag them here though.

lulu1180

@charlestonchew That person hasn't posted since the IB post.  I've been stalking for that reason!

doxiemoxie212

@charlestonchew

nitnat007

@charlestonchew I have been wondering the same thing, but have not seen any updates. 

sandbar517

@charlestonchew Totally not an unpopular opinion.  I'm the same way, but no I'm pretty sure she got the point.
