30 People Hold Nothing Back And Share Their Most Unpopular Opinions In This Group

Yes.

I work at an answering service and I am constantly telling parents to move their screaming child away from the phone as I can't hear them. You think I'd ask them to do something horrible! I hate that! It's loud and since I'm wearing a headset and hurts my ears

Whe mine were little, I'd do this anyway as a matter of manners towards people around me. I've spent many a family meal walking a screaming baby up and down outside a restaurant. I've also had to abandon a shopping trolly mid shop and head outside (apologising to staff along the way). Mostly though I just never took the kids anywhere that their noise would be expected to be a problem if it did happen. No airplanes, no fine dining restaurants, no cinemas apart from special parent and child screenings. Slowly introduced these things as they got older and more able to control themselves. Oh and also when they did have devices outside the house, they always wore headphones.

I understand why people are irritated by this; a child making noise or acting out is frustrating. BUT, there are a few things to keep in mind. 1. Where is it happening? Plane, train, bus, other space where there's no other place to go, or leaving isn't an option? 2. Is it an infant or very young child, or one with special needs? 3. Are the parents making an real effort to minimise what's going on? If they can move the child elsewhere, great. If not, try to empathise, at least a little. Yes, they chose to have kids, but they don't choose their chronological or developmental age.

Depends on where. I. Public transport there is nowhere to take them. You do your best to calm them but you can’t remove them. If you tell a parent on a bus to s**t their crying infant up, you’re the ahole.

Is this polarizing? Sounds like common sense to me.

Yeah, at some point I realized that this "normal" opinion is not shared by most. Strange. My wife and I are a team. We tackle our to dos as a team.

That's not unopular

Sadly, it's still the norm for the woman in a relationship to do 90% of the housework (or 100% in some cases). This is even when the woman also has a job. Pretty much every other woman I speak to in daily life has it the same. Like the man is a child to look after. Ask for help and you're a nag. They help a bit then want a round of applause and that'll do them for the next month.

When the comment begins as an egalitarian point, but ends up just being a "why can't men just do better" rant.

I get ops sentiment and agree personally. But that's up to Nepal.

Just take them to some other mountain and tell them that it's Everest. They'll never know. Then switch to a new mountain every year and clean up the previous one.

The inflation caused by the tourist dollar means higher prices for the locals. I have been doing a lot of research on this as I'm keen to write a book and all round mountain climbing is not good.

Yes!!!

I sympathise with this one, but if people can climb it, with TV cameras and so on, I don't see why it isn't a prerequisite to take home everything you brought with you or be charged for it if someone has to clear up after you. If you aren't organised enough to do that, you can't go.

That's not upopular

I would need the real menu because I do not have a cell phone to use the QR code.

I would leave. They don't need my trade.

If all that's offered is a QR menu, we leave.

I’m a hospitality people and I freaking hate them with a passion, I like to talk with you and order and help with the physical menu, the finer details are not possible without human interaction, if you want 6 individual olives on the side of your order on the same plate for example, the QR menus isn’t going to offer you an option, whereas if you tell me, I will make it happen and happily so.

The person is not wrong - studies have shown that bathing/showering too often actually just moves the bacteria on your skin around.

OP is right about the shower, but i think you should wash more than just your face and hands on a daily basis. Use a washcloth and soap and do your torso and private parts and feet. Private parts with just water.

In Africa it is way too hot to do this, you sweat all the time unless you work in an a/c office and go home to a/c in an a/c car. I can't sleep unless I've showered, everything feels sticky.

I shower on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I only do it more often if I'm really sweaty or really dirty, which is rare. A MWF schedule is perfectly adequate for me, and I've never had any complaints.

I have parents that shower twice daily. I, on the other hand, have eczema and psoriasis and if I shower more often than op is pointing to, I have terrible outbreaks. I also note I'm disabled and mobility impaired so it's not like I'm working up a sweat or getting into dirt. If either of these occur it's shower day even if I already showered this morning.

This one should definitely be higher! I'm not a guy but I agree

Under no circumstances should that kind of behavior be tolerated by/from anyone, ever, at any time at all.

For nearly all of recorded history, it has been the opposite and men didn't complain. No, I'm not saying you deserve it. I'm saying that everyone should treat people with dignity and respect, and speak up when someone doesn't...even if it doesn't affect you personally.

I have an issue with this too as a girl, I speak up when it happens and point it out though. I think it’s important us girls stand up more about it, I love we have rights and the feminist movement of the early days, but the later movements to an extent it’s taking the p**s on equality

This guy just works in an awful environment. This isn't normal.
