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

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.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
