COVID Contemplations: Unpopular Opinions
Because I’m extra, I’m posting my 10 “unpopular opinions” here so I can further explain why I’m a hater of things that so many people love.
1. San Francisco
I don’t know how anyone can live there in 2020. I understand the weather is nice, but everything is overpriced. The rent is too damn high! Tech bros get on my nerves. The architecture isn’t that great compared to Chicago, DC, or New York. It’s not an easy place to navigate as a tourist when you have small children. I hate those fucking hills.
2. The Kardashians
I wish I didn’t have to write out their names because that just gives them more attention than they deserve. These people don’t have much talent – though I will admit I own one pair of K+K shoes and one matte lip kit. Really, anything they do is simply because they want attention. You know who is a true snake who lied about Taylor Swift for no reason.
However, Drita D’Avanzo (of Mob Wives fame) recently made a hilarious commentary video on the most recent “fight” between Kourt and Kim, and it gave me life.
3. Breakfast
Okay, I don’t hate it, but it’s not my favorite meal. I love cooking, but since I’m not a morning person you won’t find me slaving over the stove in order to go all out on brekkie. I’m cool with just a yogurt or banana to get the day started.
4. Champagne
I never really developed my taste for bubbly. If I start the night off with champers, I just feel like crap the day after. If we’re going to celebrate, just force me to take shots.
5. 2019
This is going to be super unpopular, but I actually think I’m better off in 2020 than I was in 2019. Yes, it’s true 2020 has not been going well for most of the world. The quarantine has put a damper on my job search. But when I look at the big picture, I believe someone up there was looking out for me. While I’m not in the most ideal position, I would surprisingly be worse off this year if shit didn’t hit the fan last year.
6. Toddler Boys with Long Hair
It annoys me when toddler boys have long hair – especially if the hair is covering their face. Like… they can’t see!!! Please fix this!!! (And no, my own son is not exempt from this. I really want to cut his hair but I don’t know how. 😩)
7. Pandas
I have a grudge against pandas. I think they are lazy AF creatures for whom we bend over backwards for, yet they do not appreciate us or do what they need to (which is procreate). We’ve gone so far as to create “panda p-rn” to assist them and they STILL don’t do anything!
Have you ever visited pandas? The experience sucks! Usually, you have to pay an additional fee at the zoo to see them. Why? Because we have to subsidize their extremely high air conditioning bills (apparently they require low temperatures). Also, you can’t even express your happiness when you see them because they require silence. Have fun getting shushed by staff because the pandas are sooOOOOooo sensitive. 🙄
8. Oysters
I’m not 100% certain that I’m allergic to oysters since I’ve never done an allergy test. But every time I’ve consumed them, it’s never ended well. I’ve had the privilege of eating some of the good ones (we’re talkin’ Connecticut and New England style) – but the taste and texture simply isn’t my style.
9. Harry Potter
Again, I don’t hate Harry Potter, but I’m just not interested enough to finish the entire series or try to keep up with all the twists. I’ve read the first 2 books, and started the third one but never finished. I’m also too lazy to watch any of the movies. I guess you won’t see me at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter once quarantine is done…
10. Billie Eilish
I don’t get her appeal. I understand why she stands out, and her lyrics are okay, but I don’t feel excited when I hear her songs, nor do I care to sing along with them.
