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.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

two women enjoying confetti

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
