Unpopular Opinions Thursday

[notlindsrockies]

Come in and let us tell you why you're wrong!

[cateyes]

I don't like that screen names and tags are different, it makes tagging super confusing. I like being able to just tag what I see, not have to hover over people's names every time I want to respond to them. I still only remember to "check" about 50% of the time.

I be changin' up the gifs in my post, don't mind me and my edits, peeps.

If your on a PC you can click the little icon that looks like the @ symbol with a little person beside it. It will bring up a little window. If you start typing the name that you see it will pull up the member and you can click on them. It will tag them no matter what there original name is. If your on the tap talk app I don't use that to often so not sure how to do it.

Good to know, I am usually mobile so I am not sure it will help but if I am at a desktop it may help...a little.

I hate popcorn.

And buffalo wings.

This. I miss snow. I grew up in NY and live down south now. Just one big snow storm and I'd be happy. But down here they consider an inch a snow storm and a foot the apocalypse.

I have no words....so much sadness

I don't understand the love affair so many people have with Sriracha. I mean, I think it tastes fine and is pretty good, but I don't think it's AMAZING. I just don't get the obsession that many people have with it.....

I like the proboards template MUCH better than the Bump. I only have an iPad, no PC, and all of the formatting buttons never worked properly for me. Posting GIFs and things are 10x easier here.

I agree with this one! It is nice to post a thread from the ipad and not have a huge paragraph of text when you meant to have 5 separate lines!

I too like PB much better than the dump.

We bought a used snowmobile this year, so that pretty much gaurantees that there will be no snow for us. We have absolutely no snow right now.  We sold our old sled in the fall of 2013, right before Maine got dumped on with storm after storm.

I don't think this one is unpopular

Ah...I thought I heard a lot of people saying they needed to "get used to it" and that they didn't think it was quite as pretty. My mistake!

I love Sriracha. It's like my ketchup. I like the consistency, and that I can have the "heat" without the vinegary? taste of other hot sauces.  Don't get me wrong, I like other hot sauces. But Sriracha is my go to, I eat it on Pizza, Spaghetti, Eggs, Casseroles........

Is it an Obsession? No.
Do I like to have it on hand when I want to add "heat" to something? Yes. I like my food to have a little spiciness

I'm not even sure what those words mean. I could live on buffalo wings. You'd probably hate the buffalo popcorn that the Boy Scouts sell. It's like crack for me.

NO!!! These are two of my favorites! LOL... but only boneless wings  

[thechickencoop]

I hate snow. BUT I would hate for DS and any future LOs to grow up without it, without the thrill of waking up to a SNOW DAY!!! And for it to not be cold for Christmas.

H and I were down in the FL Keys after Thanksgiving, I dunno, 6 years ago?, and went to a winter parade. Wearing shorts. And they brought in a snow machine and made a giant snow mountain for the kids and it was melting in a matter of minutes. So all these kids were rolling around in snow-mud. No thanks.

Unpopular (according to my H) - I don't like onions and don't understand why they are in everything. I don't mind a small amount of cooked onions in a dish where appropriate (like sauces and such) but I don't like raw onions at all. They make everything taste like onion and if I wanted it to taste like onion I would eat an onion.

Ok, the onions thing is my albatross! My H haaaaates onions, not just raw, but cooked, even though I try to explain to him (as the cooker of all meals) that they are in everything, especially the foods he loves! His favorite food is curry, which is basically a billion onions and tomatoes cooked down with spices into a sauce. That is all. I am willing to cater to his pickiness about bell peppers, chocolate chips, mangoes, and other dumb shit, but when it comes to onions, I just can't even. I just cook with them and tell him he can pick them out like a baby if he wants to, haha!

I totally agree with this- I hate raw onions so much! I hate when I have to cut them up for something, I feel like I can't get the smell off of my hands for days.

[mrsjene]

To clarify, I hate popcorn because I'll have some at the movies then spend the rest of the movie trying to pick kernels out of my teeth and miss key plot points in the quest for saving my gums.

And buffalo wings... I just don't like buffalo ANYTHING. Ugh. And I hate blue cheese, which doesn't help.

UO- I really dislike Beyonce. I know I may have an angry horde appearing at my job in 30 minutes for saying this, but I think she overall sucks.

I totally agree with you. Buffalo anything sucks. And blue cheese is also gross and only makes it less spicy, but even less delicious.

How can you be picky about chocolate chips? Unless of course you are chocolate snob and only like gourmet chocolate chips. I really hope this is the case.
