Chances are, you’ve got some unpopular opinions that you usually keep to yourself. Perhaps you love pineapple on pizza, or maybe you find chocolate to be repulsive. When I was in college, I was terrified to tell my friends that I had absolutely no interest in ever watching films or reading books about Harry Potter… And I was always thrilled when we’d get blessed with a gray and dreary day.

We’re not always willing to share these hot takes out loud, but it’s a bit easier to open up to strangers on the internet. Mumsnet users have recently been admitting their most controversial takes, so we’ve gathered the juiciest ones below. Enjoy scrolling through this list that you might find incredibly frustrating, and be sure to upvote the secret opinions that you actually agree with!

    A hiker stands on a snowy mountain ridge at sunrise, gazing at a breathtaking view. People who climb Everest, do free climbing or base jumping etc. Self-absorbed, selfish tw*ts. The damage it does to Everest. The sheer risk with all of them, putting their loved ones through stress, worry or loss and grief. And the people at risk if rescuing them or recovering their body.

    We paid less than 200$ including rings. We had McDonald's that day, we spent our money on a home and new vehicle. I ended up getting the ring I loved 2 years later from a pawnshop for a fraction of the price. Weddings are so expensive and pointless.

    Exchange of money for a box of toys, illustrating anonymous controversial takes. I really resent being asked for charity donations literally everywhere now. Every shop. Every single purchase. Inside supermarkets by the tills. Outside supermarkets. I just hate being hassled constantly. Just let me do what I'm doing and I'll donate to charities as and when I chose to.

    30 Hot Takes People Wouldn’t Dare To Admit In Person Sports. Particularly the big money making machine types. I don't understand why it's not more of a niche interest.

    There was a meme or similar a good few years ago and it was basically, imagine if sports coverage was dedicated to archaeology, hourly news bulletins, sections of newspapers, endless coverage on TV, huge stars. Breaking news, star archaeologist Dr Richard Brown has signed a new contract to begin working in Corfu. And then everyone phoning in a radio show to discuss why he should dig somewhere else, people really upset because they were hoping he would dig at a place they preferred, live coverage of the ground being broken at the excavation site, with commentary and discussion from retired archaeologists.

    I'd much prefer this option than corporations seeking donations. Not only do you NOT get the benefit of the tax deduction but the multimillion corporation does. They dont set up charity schemes out of the goodness of their hearts - they are just minimizing their tax obligations. DONT donate to corporate charity schemes! Donate directly to the charity.

    30 Hot Takes People Wouldn’t Dare To Admit In Person I irritate myself with my own instinctive belief that a lot of children are really badly parented and that their shi**y behaviours are the direct result of that bad parenting. Intellectually, I'm far more nuanced, completely believe that there are a lot of complex factors at plat etc etc... but deep down, I think I'm a big fat judgey pants and I don't like it.

    Also, I'm terrified that I'm one of those parents and that I'm as delusional as I think so many of them are. I hope I'm not. But... it's a worry'!

    What one does to themselves, is probably for themselves, and not you. Some people get procedures because of a disfigurement, disorder, to fix another procedure. Like, imagine getting a masectomy because of breast cancer, and feeling so self-conscious it's all you can think about. So you go to the plastic surgeon to get breast enhancements. Then after people ripping you apart because they don't like seeing how unnatural your new figure looks.

    I agree. They are not talking about dogs - they are talking about irresponsible dog owners who leave dog poo all over the street, on the sidewalk and in the parks. I love dogs and I was a dog owner until she passed away. I also have children who play and wrestle and fall over and pick things up and put them in their pockets. Public spaces are exactly that - for the enjoyment of the public and I can't let my kids play in the local park because there is dog shite everywhere. Our neighbors let their dog s**t on the sidewalk every day and we have to smell it and dodge it on the walk to school. You wouldn't appreciate me letting my kid p**s in park or poo on the grass and then just leaving it there. Your dog = your s**t. Clean it up.

    Woman enjoying pizza on a couch, illustrating a casual and relaxed moment. I don't think it's cheaper or particularly more convenient to eat unhealthily. Living off plain, healthy, simple food is much cheaper and as convenient as unhealthy food. The bulk of my diet is wholegrain rice, steamed vegetables (from the frozen section) and some protein. It's extremely cheap and fast and simple. When I buy frozen pizzas etc my bill per meal is always way more expensive.

I love the Indian food and the English do a good pub meal, but the lack of variety and quality of fresh produce is disappointing. For the 6 weeks a year the sun turns on its charm, London is amazing! People are friendly and happy and bright. The rest of the year not so much. There is a great culture and music scene but realistically - you can find that anywhere else. All in all, London is an amazing city. Head out there late spring, eat some curries, visit some bands, listen to music, enjoy the local pub, catch some amazing festivals and do all the things that float your boat, but take the bus or walk as much as possible and leave before the summer ends.

    Tattooed arms and legs intertwined, showcasing unique personal expression and style. Tattoos.

    I don't understand why you'd want a design permanently on your body. How do you know your future self will like it being there?

    What if your tastes change or fashion moves on?

    A person's hairstyle, hair colour and clothes normally change over time according to an individual's tastes and the current fashion.

    Why have permanent tattoos? Wouldn't it be better to have something that peeled off and could be changed every few weeks or so?

    As women, we need to take greater responsibility for ourselves and our choices. And it’s not ‘victim blaming‘ to say that. We can’t control what others do, only what we do.

    Post after post about women marrying and having children with useless men who were always useless complaining about it. I don’t feel a drop of sympathy.

    they are basically stealing meds from those who need them - those injections are (or were primarily made) for diabetes sufferers ..

    A couple sits closely, smiling and gazing at each other, conveying warmth and affection. I don't think humans were designed for lifelong monogamy and I can't understand why it's such a celebrated thing.

    Things I think but wouldn’t say.

    Fed is best mantra…Breastfeeding is better. If you can’t or don’t want to, fine. But breastfeeding is best.

    Olives are vile. People can't actually like them, so they must be pretending for some reason.

    The same goes for other foods that are 'an acquired taste'.

    There is a difference between people who are born thin (and are healthy that way) and people who starve themselves to achieve the look that they think they want.

    Sex is a biological fact.

    It can’t be changed.

    It’s impossible to be ‘born in to the wrong body’.

    Child playfully covers woman's eyes in front of a decorated Christmas tree. Mothers are much more important than fathers when children are very little, and being cared for by their mothers is better for their emotional development than doing long hours in childcare.

    Sexism at it's best. Why the need to undervalue fathers? A mother can be selfish, d**g addict, lazy, mentally unstable etc. where the father can be healthy just as it can be the other way around. A mother can be just as cruel as a father can be. Or a Father can be just as caring as a mother can be. Generalizations are horrible for most things. For myself, my ex did not even held my kids for weeks. Did not feed them. Did not care for them. I did all of that. I've made their breakfast when they were going to school. I've dressed them. I've changed their diapers when they were babies, while my ex was off smoking and drinking and being her bipolar unhinged self. So, personally, f you to this statement.

    Homeless people have ended up that way through their own bad choices and the ones who walk down the train asking for money for “a night in a shelter and a hot meal” are lying and will spend it on drugs and alcohol- hostels are free aren’t they?

    Not in the US. Causes of homeless families ranked: #1 Insufficient income and lack of affordable housing; #2 Unemployment / loss of job; #3 Poverty (Extremely Low Income - 75% of which have less than half their income remaining after paying for housing to cover all other expenses);. Causes of homeless individuals ranked - same, plus #4 mental illness. It's easier to believe that it's their own fault, but that's the reality according to the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty.

    I can’t stand pathetic women. Women who are scared when their husbands are away from the home. Women who refuse to walk anywhere at night. Women who don’t travel alone and need a man to accompany them. Get a grip and stop trying to drag us all back to the 1950s with your needy perpetual victimhood.

    OH MY GOD. Women ARE afraid to walk alone at night. A poor woman lost her life to a policeman by doing just this. A bloody POLICEMAN! That’s why we’re afraid because we can’t trust anyone anymore.

    It's pointless to go to an office to do a job you can do from home. The expense of heating and cooling an office space and burning gasoline and time commuting is a waste.
