Maybe this isn't such a UO, but it's a weird one from me, since I'm a junk food aficionado.

KFC is the grossest thing I've ever seen in my life. I can't even handle the smell. The thought of a heap of that nasty-ass chicken in a bucket - A BUCKET - makes me never want to eat again. This coming from a girl who always orders the XL poutine and refuses to share it.

I LOVE the smell of KFC so much! But I don't know anyone who doesn't get the runs from that sh*t. I'm celiac so I miss it ( and pop tarts, and Oreos and you are all killing me over here).

I hate strangers who baby talk loudly to children/babies. I should probably leave the mall now.

I think John Mayer is what happens when the guy who plays guitar to get girls to sleep with him in high school/college inexplicably gets a recording contract. Ie. the worst.

Damn I am crabby today. This baby needs to GTFO.

I've tried watching the show on numerous occasions and I just couldn't get into it. I didn't think it was that funny. Also, I love Neil Patrick Harris as an actor but I just can't buy into his whole Barney womanizing character.

To redeem myself for this unpopular opinion, I love The Big Bang Theory.

I hate both shows. Very unpopular opinion.

Also, when people ask for T&Ps (mostly on facebook) for every minor event. Heading into labor or a family member with cancer: YES! T&P worthy. Your brother is closing on a house or your kid has a job interview, really!?! you're asking people who have never met him for prayers. I don't know why that bothers me so much, but it really does.

This... it bugs me. Or, the cryptic FB messages. The T&P requests for something they are unwilling to disclose. I don't want to know everyone's business, but I won't waste my time praying for something that could be stupid or selfish. In that case, ask your close friends and family, not a bunch of internet acquaintances.

Not sure if this is an actual UO around here, or if it just makes me old, but I just don't get SnapChat. what's the point...

I am pretty sure the only point is sexting. I don't have it, but my understanding is that the pic disappears 30 seconds after you open it or something. So yeah, that is really the only purpose I can think of. I still won't be sending pics of my lady bits, thankyouverymuch.

true, unless the receiver of the pic takes a screen shot....then they forever have a pick of your lady bits. I don't have it either, nor do I want it, I feel like it is for teenagers

Also, from my understanding, the pic isn't truly 'deleted'. The app just changes the file name so that you can't "see" it on your phone, but it's still on there. But, yes, it is more for teenagers, but I have a few friends who use it. They send pics of their kids or funny/strange things they see through out the day. I still don't get it. Okay, maybe not 'old' but not 'cool'.

About KFC - I like it, but I can't eat inside of one or order from inside of one, drive-thru only for me. The grease ball in there totes grosses me out.

Years ago there was all that in the news about their chicken being genetically engineered and not having beaks or legs and like 4 wings... I'm not even sure if it's true or not but I just can't get past that mentally.

Also, I never put pop tarts in the toaster. I like them cold.

It's really not true. They're chickens, not globs of lab grown meatz

I don't understand people who have dogs and don't let them on the furniture. Why have dogs if you're not going to cuddle with them?

My dogs have certain times when they're not allowed up (if anyone has food, if they're chewing rawhides, etc.) but they know the rules. I cringe to think where I would be mentally at this point in pregnancy if I hadn't had my dogs to give me comfort.

Dh isn't a big dog on the bed person. Probably because the 80 pound dog snuggles me and tries to shove dh out of bed. :-) He usually ends up sending the dog to his own bed. Mean man.

The dog is allowed on all of our furniture. Dh just sucks at sharing.

There are only three flavors of Pop Tarts that are worth eating: strawberry, brown sugar, and blueberry. The rest shouldn't exist.

Only strawberry. Brown sugar/cinnamon might get a pass, but really, strawberry should be it.

Nuh-uh. They are 80 feet tall so one chicken could feed a city, and have no legs so they don't go running around scaring the villagers.

My UO is that I think pop tarts are gross. I don't like them at all, no matter what flavor.

I also like both HIMYM and The Big Bang Theory.

littlepig2 · February 2014

@megash113 the only pop tart flavor I like is the cherry with icing but the icing HAS to have the cherry sprinkles on top.

actually, mixed berry isn't bad either. but no pop tarts should ever be heated up. instant barfage.

SuzyQq02 · February 2014

Loving the pop tart opinions... I may have decided that MH was "the one" in part due to our shared love of brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts, and his starting a fb group for our college friends about it...I never toast, butodo occasionally microwave.

Re: snap chat... it's a thing with mh's younger coworkers and they're always asking why I'm not on it... one of the guys who has my cell # texts me ridic pics without the app, why invite more of your drunken nonsense into my life? I really do enjoy hanging out with them, but they make me feel old. ;-)

Pop tarts are FAR superior to toaster strudel. That sh!t isn't worth it. Just saying.

Except I had a toaster strudel sample at Sam's Club two weeks ago, and it was so insanely delicious. I made DH go get another sample. I did refrain from buying a box because I know they're actually not delicious.

Pop tarts were always my go-to vending machine snack in college. Brown sugar, untoasted.

My UO: I don't see the hype for the show Dexter. Started watching it on netflix a year or so ago and only got like, 2 episodes in and I just wasn't interested.

I'm going to be looking for more netflix marathons coming up and running out of options. Should I give Dexter another chance? Maybe I wasn't patient enough to wait for it to get good.

I am pro-chemical and pre medical intervention and would hate to live in a time when I had neither available to me.
Also, and this is probably not unpopular here, but judging by my FB, it is in the rest of the country, I thought the Coke ad with America the Beautiful in multiple languages was amazing and wonderful and, yes, beautiful.

Yes! This exactly.

My UO is that I don't care about the Olympics. I'll watch a bit of figure skating with DD but overall I'm mostly just annoyed the Olympics are messing with my regular tv shows! And I love HIMYM! I've watched every episode since the series premiere!

This too! I have no interest in the Olympics what so ever.

I have no desire to watch anyone's Facebook "movie" and I refuse to post one.

So when I saw these, I thought they were incredibly stupid. Especially since FB in general is like a giant fest of stupidity and silliness. And then I clicked that stupid button. I watched my video (AW) and I bawled my eyes out. I don't know what happened, but I am fairly sure I have the best video in the whole world - it cherry picked the greatest moments of my life - meeting my husband, my engagement, my marriage and the birth of our son.

Um, you forgot about S'mores. Which I am eating now.

Warning: Vent about a UO.

Maternity leave does not mean working from home. I just had a baby people, leave me alone. It really shouldn't be unpopular, but judging by the number of clients and other professionals who are calling and emailng me three days after I gave birth, demanding I do work for them immediately, it must be unpopular to expect a little respect.

Stuck in the box.

There seems to be an easy solution here - you could just stop answering/responding. Put an away message on your email, turn off your work computer, and screen your calls. People will get the message. I work from home and I did this - I have heard from zero people about work in the last week and a half, when my leave started. Not a big deal if you made arrangements before you went out on leave.
Yeah, I don't have that kind of job.

...Are you Obama? Otherwise, I think you can take at least a couple weeks to be incommunicado.

I'm pretty sure even Biden does that.

This made me laugh. I'm also going to file it away to use at an appropriate time.

@Rach521 I thought we were Pop Tart soul mates - frosted cherry is the dark horse of Pop Tarts and it's my favorite too.

But then you went and broke my heart by saying you don't toast your Pop Tarts. That's bonkers.

@elf828 no one else ever likes the cherry! but to be honest, I've never tried to toast the cherry. I toasted some when I was younger and didn't like it so I swore it off. don't lose hope for our pop tart soul mate relationship!

Bunheads was an underrated show. I'm assuming this is a UO since it was cancelled after one season.
It's probably not an unpopular opinion. Two of my favorite shows only lasted one season. It usually has more to do with the network than it does with the ratings.

This happens with pretty much EVERYTHING I watch. I no longer watch new shows because of this. I now wait until there is at least 1-2 established seasons before getting into something, because I always get pissed when the show I am watching (all of them) get cancelled.

I feel the same way about 'Wilfred'. What happened to it and why hasn't anyone heard of it?

Was that the one on FX with the dog and Elijah Wood?

If yes, it's gone because it was terrible. Haha

No way! A pothead dog who is in a tumultuous relationship with his partner 'bear'... comedy gold.
