10 Unpopular Opinions from Reddit That Make Me Uncomfortable

I searched for unpopular opinions off of Reddit that I think truly are unpopular.

10 Unpopular Opinions from Reddit That Make Me Uncomfortable

In This Article:

Recently, Reddit's subreddit "unpopularopinion" has been filled with general opinions. I set out to find the ones that make me really go, "gross."

Someone out there enjoys wet socks?

Getting your socks wet is just awful. No further explanation.

Cereal with water instead of milk

I gagged a bit just by reading this, but at least you put the cereal first. The user also put a video of cereal with water after being requesting one by another user in disbelief.

Enjoying the restaurant staff singing Happy Birthday to them

You see, extrovert or introvert, people typically feel awkward when a random group of staff sings Happy Birthday for a whole restaurant to hear. Sure, I'm getting a little dessert to celebrate my birthday, but how am I supposed to act in this situation? But since it makes you happy, good for you and enjoy! It's still an unpopular opinion, though.

One-ply over two-ply

One-ply toilet paper tears easily. Two one-ply sheets does not have the same feeling as a two-ply sheet.

No water to brush your teeth

I put aside the "water before and/or after toothpaste" debate and assert that not putting water at all is the worst.

Body hair on everyone (including male) is gross

If hair disgusts you, I assume you also shave your head and eyebrows then (which is totally okay if someone chooses to shave those out of personal preference.) I think that the most unpopular part about this is that the user thinks that male body hair is also disgusting. Male body hair is typically seen as normal and manly. Despite the growing acceptance, female body hair is still widely seen as unacceptable.

Also, body hair is not the same as your body's waste. We don't look at someone going to the bathroom, but we also don't shame them for having to do what your body has to do. Hair naturally grows and the amount differs from person to person.

The egg shells can stay

While I am not completely disgusted or mad at this, most people try to get the little eggshell bits out of there. It's not right. Even after boiling an egg, we take off the eggshell.

Pour your milk into a cup of ice

This just brought an unpleasant taste. I have never had milk with ice, but I can already feel it being watery. Sure, you can drink it fast to prevent the ice from melting, but then it's not enjoyable to rush it.

Nightmares are better than good dreams

Maybe I'm just a big baby but nightmares scare me too much. They don't give me a good rush. They just leave me with scary thoughts in a dark room.

Bullying people with mental illness is okay

Basically, it says that instead of trying to help people, we should bully them out of their mental illness. While there are people who see mental illnesses as weakness (still quite a popular opinion), they don't blatantly agree that bullying is okay. With increasing awareness, bullying is frowned upon, mental illness or not.

Bonus: As if wet socks wasn't bad enough, we have wet sleeves being pleasant

Wet socks and wet sleeves are too similar, so this is a bonus because I just had to share it.

I truly cannot understand how some people are fine with wet fabric being stuck to their skin.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
