Going with the theme in the randoms about where we are from! I'm from Pittsburgh where they put french fries on EVERYTHING. I'm talking salads, sandwiches, pizza, mac n'cheese. I hate french fries in general and always ask for "no fries" on my salad even though the menu never lists french fries lol.

@brookert615 What?! That sounds disgusting. I never heard about that.
The best French fries are from McDonald's anyways  No ketchup. Just plain with salt.

Mayo is just the best with shrimps. Thousand island dressing tastes like rotten vegetables to me.

All kinds of pie are just bad. I also hate whipped cream so that’s probably where that stems from. 

brookert615

@rikiteacup Okay I can see the mayo and shrimp thing sounding good. I don't like thousand island dressing either! 

@b_1029 +1 on the pie and whipped cream!

Edit: Tag!

kbrown2385

@rikiteacup McDonald’s fries are the best! 

Mayo is delicious. I’ll take it on just about anything. The more the better. 

kbrown2385

@b_1029 what kind of person doesn’t like whipped cream? 

b_1029

@kbrown2385 the kind that would prefer to have my dessert calories as something delicious and not just pointless, caloric, and weird white stuff 😂😂

lulu1180

@b_1029 But have you ever tried boozy whipped cream...?

b_1029

@lulu1180 I have! It was ok...it must just be a texture thing for me. I don’t like jello either but can choke down a Jello shot if needed haha 

mrsvp614

@b_1029 No pie?!?!?!?!
We had pies at our wedding instead of cake. We are pie people.
@rikiteacup I hate mayo and thousand island.

I think my UO is that I hate Summer weather. We had 88 degrees yesterday and now I'm dreading the summer. I hate being hot and sweaty!

m6agua

@rikiteacup Thousand Island is disgusting!
@b_1029 Yes! I also dislike every kind of pie. I also don't like jello either.

@MrsVP614 I love summer, but I do hate the month we have here where it is really hot and humid and the mosquitos are horrible.

icing sucks 
i love royal baby news 
lululemon is worth the $

I hate avocados. It seems like something semi new but I’ve tried to find different ways to enjoy them but no luck. 
I also dislike almost all forms of potatoes except those little mini potatoes. And even then I only want like 4. 

However, give me all of the whipped cream lol. Coconut whipped cream is still my all time fave.

From what I've heard this is at least semi-unpopular...I don't get why some people object when people recline their seats on an airplane. 1) there's a recline button, that's what it's there for. 2) it goes back like two inches, it's seriously ruining your day?? I have a running debate with a very tall friend about this tho.

edit typo

kbrown2385

@chichiphin +1 for royal anything news

@MrsVP614 I long for summer all year and then when it gets here I’m miserable because its
so hot. If we can just have perfect mid spring weather year round, I’d probably be happiest.

@whitealbum29 I totally get where you're coming from! Surprisingly though on the last few flights I've been on I haven't reclined it.

Maybe this is a UO, but I love the drive bys. I live for the drama I suppose. Especially when their responses get illogical.

kbrown2385

@inthewoods23 I have a love hate relationship with them. I love being snarky and being able to use my gifs, but a good amount of them make me ragey. 

b_1029

@whitealbum29 I totally agree with you! My 6’4 husband would disagree though. 

inthewoods23

Another UO... You're not an a*-hole when you use the zipper merge properly.

kagesstarshroom

@chichiphin @kbrown2385 Yo ever since I watched THE CROWN on Netflix, I am all about royal-anything news. 

bows22

Every food item mentioned here is delicious, but my UO is that I don’t like bacon. The smell, the taste, gag

begging4abump

Fear not, @bows22, you’re not alone! 

dpchickens

b_1029 I make a pie that is essentially a gooey brownie on a pie crust.  No whipped cream necessary if you choose.  I think I could persuade you to the pie side...

whitealbum29 I despise it when the person in front of my reclines their seat.  I have very large um, 'tracks of land' so when you recline your 2 inches, your seat feels literally on top of my boobs.  It makes me feel VERY claustrophobic up top, especially because in order to keep my arms/tracks of land within my seat boundaries, I already have to squish my arms close to my body so as not to 'man-spread' my top.  Additionally, i can't recline MY seat to recover my measly 2 inches because I actually get horrible stomach aches when I lay back or are tipped back too far (like a reclined airline seat).  So then I'm stuck on a flight I paid for, feeling like I have no space and am going to have a panic attack, despite being a person who isn't prone to panic attacks.  I think airlines should get rid of all reclining seats, except in business/first class, and end this debate permanently.

I'm with kbrown2385  on the drive-bys. I enjoy being able to snark and let off some steam, but some of them just make me sooo angry and bitter. 

b_1029

@dpchickens that sounds like a pie I could be persuaded to try. Mmmmmmm. 

varimama

@inthewoods23 I feel like the zipper merge would work if everyone did it properly but most people don’t and therefore they suck. Same with the roundabouts, on paper they look great but idk how many times I’ve almost been hit because no one else seems to know the rules and they make me anxious. 

I don’t like coffee or tea. I feel like everyone I know lives on one or both of those.

shamrocandroll

I love how these always turn into a desert debate (ie: my dislike of cake and cheesecake).  I am 100% pro-pie, though!  And whipped cream.

Mine is that I don't care about royal weddings/babies, but I find myself reading all about them anyway just so I can pretend to fit in when other people talk about it.  It sounds so sad and insecure when I say in like that, but I just don't like not having anything to contribute to a conversation.  I mostly just don't care about celebrities in general.

whitealbum29

@inthewoods23 - haha yeah I love the drama and trashtalking them in the randoms.

@bows22 - also not a bacon fan! I'll eat a little if it's there but I feel like it overpowers everything else I'm eating in way...

@kels0091 - not even french fries?!

@chichiphin - yep love royal news although I have trouble keeping up with all the drama.

inthewoods23

On the topic of royal babies. DH and I were in a conversation and we were talking about the royal baby names. Anyway, DH was super confused because he thought we said Merkel instead of Markle and thought there was some relative of the Chancellor of Germany that had the baby.

He then promptly said (basically) who TF is Meghan Markle?

If my life was on the line and would be saved by DH answering pop culture questions... I'd be dead.

varimama

I’m the same in regards to royal/famous people @shamrocandroll

nolemama24

@kbrown2385 yassssss french fries with mayo is soooo good. I love mayo. 

My UO is the wave/obsession with the Instagram/Facebook influencers. I follow a few paleo accounts for cooking tips/recipes but I've had to unfollow some of the fashion/beauty ones. All the hocking of cheap crap. OMG. I don't need another hair wand or face cream. It's too much. 

celticknotfire

I'm so late to the party!  I hate the french fry obsession Pittsburgh has because it's like they go out of their way to make anything unhealthy.  Love pie and whipped cream!  Over the royal baby news but that's because I'm bitter and a little suspicious she got KU so quickly.  Agree with the love/hate with the drive-bys.

My UO is I found the Harry Potter books boring and couldn't even finish the first one.

inthewoods23

@celticknotfire my DH didn't make it past the first paragraph of book 1. Some time ago I tried to convince him to let me read the books to him so that he can say he's "read" the books. He has seen all the movies though!

NYTino24

@varimama I’m from NJ, home of the jughandle... I know not what this roundabout you speak of is... lol

@dpchickens I’m one of those 5’4” people who recline my seat. I have herniated discs and a twice-operated on shoulder. I’m miserable if I can’t recline.

littleredm

@brookert615 oh man I visited Pittsburgh once cuz I had friends who went to school up there and they took me to some famous sandwich shop and I thought the fries on the sandwich were such a novelty, but I'd be over it so quickly for regular eating. Haha.

@b_1029 I love pies. Down with cake!

Hmmm unpopular opinions. I don't like going to the movies or really watching movies because of the time commitment, even though I'll binge watch shows all day long. That means I'm never up to date on what's playing or good movies. I especially hate the marvel movies/super hero movies.

shoogapoff

@MrsVP614 I guess my UO is the opposite of yours. I live in the South, where it gets over 100 degrees very frequently in the summer, and I *love* it. I don't think I've ever complained about the heat, even at the height of summer. I also would be happy if my thermostat were perpetually set to 80 degrees. I think cats really like hot temperatures, right? So I guess I must be part-cat!
