Having an opinion that goes against the grain can be awkward. Even if speaking up comes naturally to you, being met with boos or a room full of side-eyes is hardly a pleasant experience. Unless, of course, that’s exactly what you enjoy.

But for those who need somewhere to get their thoughts out, the Unpopular Opinion subreddit offers a space to do just that. Its members freely share their controversial takes, and we gathered some of the most interesting posts. Scroll down to read them and let us know whether you agree or disagree in the comments.

    Throw the parents in there, too. They've abandoned their responsibilities to their children. Too many are more concerned about their phones and social media than what and how their children are doing in school. These days they expect teachers to raise their kids. 🙄

    It súcks when a series you’ve been anticipating watching releases the whole season at once, and the VERY next day, the media is littered with spoilers from reporters who stayed up all night binging it so they could get the scoop and the clicks.

    I’ve actually seen my dog attempting to smile several times (when she’s excited after we come home after being out for a while). It looks terrifying.

    Things like this make me miss Napster and Kazaa. At least it was honest piracy. That song you are listening to on Spotify or Apple Music or whatever is money in the pocket of the people with no talent, but are still exploiting the system.

    We're all different. Some people do well being alone. Others, not so much. To each their own. And for Pete's sake, stop judging people on this!

    Or maybe you’re a true creator. Making art, doing woodworking, etc. and you need extra space to store your work. Needing more space isn’t always about over consumption.

    In my 20s and 30s I used to go to parties that regularly turned into jam sessions. There was never only one person playing an instrument. There were 4-6 playing. And it was great foot stomping music! It always raised the energy levels of everyone around. People would clap along, dance, etc. if someone wanted to talk, they’d just go into the next room.

    I’m pretty sure that all lawyers actually are required to do a certain number of days/hours of gratis work each quarter. Or maybe this is only true n New York state? I used to be personal friends with a lawyer who told me that this is a requirement in order to have a liscence.
