I agree with almost all of your opinions! I have another one. People mispronouncing words like "ex-specially" instead of especially or "I seen it " instead of I saw it.
Hangry … that is my pet peeve. What happened to ravenous? Doesn’t that sound just as ferocious? How about making use of the plethora of words available without having to make some up?
As a 28 y/o parent of a toddler and probably not in your target demographic, “mommy wine culture” drives me crazy and runs rampant on social media. Parenting has its share of ups and downs but I don’t need to self-medicate with alcohol in the name of self care to handle the ebbs and flows of parenting. My child is not a burden and I am so sick of seeing parenting projected this way on socials.
I felt this way when my kids were small. The "Mommy needs wine" trend started back then and it made me sad for that generation of kids being raised by moms openly embracing the idea that their kids (and husbands) were annoying, a bother and too much work. We had 3 sons in 5 years. It was sometimes chaotic or challenging but I would never want my kids to associate our relationship with me needing to drink.
I will preface this with I never noticed this until I deleted all social media two years ago… because surely I was guilty of the same thing. When you are out with a group of people, dinner, party etc and people are constantly on their phones scrolling through tik tok, Instagram, etc. People don’t even realize how completely insulting it is when you are speaking to someone and they reach in their pocket to check some alert they got. I could go on and on. People are wasting their lives with mindless time sucks like TikTok and I just refuse to give away that much of my time, brain power, focus, etc. It’s like living in a world of narcissistic zombies.
Teachers who do not use grammatically correct English drive me crazy. If you cannot properly use me, him, I, and myself, you should not be teaching! Marnie, your grammar is flawless!
Totally agree about the books!! I was reading a magazine the other day and the woman in the article had turned all the books in her home office library - three bookshelves worth-back to front. So the pages showed instead of the spines. Because “it fit the aesthetic better.” Supposedly these were books she used, as well. How she found anything I have no idea! 🤦♀️
I rarely comment on videos but I smiled while watching this one! I live in California and I am a non drinking fitness trainer, if I could get my clients to stop drinking they would actually get their waistline back instead of the wine barrel they carry around! You asked for some other irritants so here goes. I am so put off by those stupid bears that advertise toilet paper, do they even need to advertise this? Doesn't everyone buy it already? LASH EXTENSIONS, please stop, they look beyond fake and ridiculous, is mascara really THAT difficult? I hate that's victims are now a status group, it minimizes real victims. Tattoo's, enough said. Pronouns, lets not further denigrate the English language, he or she is enough. The term "price point" just say price. The whole "farm to fork" thing, I'm pretty sure the food I buy in the grocery store was grown on a farm. Thank you again for having the right stuff to say it outloud!!!
Lash extensions! I thought I was the only one who thought they were ridiculous. Actually, disgusting might be the better adjective for me to describe how I feel about them. I agree with everything on your list!
I agree. Especially on the use of price point. What happened to just saying price? Oh, here’s another one. I hate that the word contacted has now been replaced with the phrase reached out.
My biggest pet peeve is when people use “we” when it doesn’t apply. This is HUGE on all the mom pages. “We’re teething”, “we’re 15 months old”, etc. I don’t know why that makes me so crazy but it does. And it must be an unpopular opinion because so many people do it haha.
Wow, I agree with a lot of points you talked about. I do not drink, I have never drank, and I get to mad at people saying ohhh just relax and enjoy life. I don’t need alcohol to relax, and I enjoy life every minute of it, and the next morning I remember what happened at the dinner party, and how stupid people got after a few drinks. 😂I can relax with a cup of coffee,tea , or plain water. You and I have more in common, and I am 66, so I though some of these unpopular opinions were bc of my age, but you are so much younger and we think alike.
Grammar matters, and when people say “should have went”, a tiny explosion happens in my brain. I think your opinions are more popular than anyone in our weird world would like to let on 💕
So true! ....yes, a tiny explosion ! Do you realize how many times I have heard that phrase? So called educated business owners ?Thanks for mentioning this.
Thank you for what you said about the drinking culture. Alcohol is so glorified in our society that if you don’t drink, you’re somewhat shamed as a goodie-goodie while those who can “hold their liquor” are praised and admired. Alcoholism has caused horrendous problems for so many families, yet few influencers ever acknowledge that. My husband has been in recovery for 12 years. We have lost friends because we don’t drink or hang out in bars. I just wish our culture would bring more focus to the destruction of lives and families brought on by drugs and alcohol instead of glorifying it.
I have a problem with the f*** word being used by everyone, anywhere, especially around children 😡. Parents using it around & to their children. No respect😏
I absolutely cannot stand the commercials for Lumi or any other personal issues. For example, erectile dis function , vaginal mesh, if you have a crooked penis etc. I could go on ALL day with my list. 😂
You were so spot on with everything you said. I cringed also with cosmetic companies naming their products. Especially when cosmetic shopping with my young daughter. We make up our own suitable fun names.
I dislike when people use north/south/east/west when giving directions. What happened to straight/right/left? If it’s a cloudy day, can’t see the sun & I am lost, I don’t know which way is north.
Ha!!! This made me laugh! I agree 100% with all of this. Not that it matters-because opinions 🤷🏻♀️ A cup of coffee at home is a bajillion times better than Starbucks. I tried dripping foundation on my face the other day because I was in a hurry and didn’t want to clean makeup off my hands. I dropped it right onto my white shirt. 😂😂😂 Dumbest way to apply anything to your face. Love your honesty, Marnie! 🥰
People using the nominative "I" with an accusative verb, which should be "me." E.g. "My mom gave it to John and I" because they think it sounds proper, but "to John and me" is actually correct. Told me, gave it to me, sat next to me, next to John and me, etc is correct. Case doesn't change when another person is added! Drives me nuts 😂 Also, when people lick their fingers for any reason, especially after eating or trying to separate pages, money, or plastic bags. 🤢
OMG... COMMON SENSE!!! So refreshing! We all live “real” lives, & should enjoy them. It is so sad when people are so influenced by fantasy that they become discontent with their real lives. All of You tube, and other social media is fun, but it’s a disaster if that becomes what people base their opinions and lives on. Thank you!
In addition to agreeing with most of yours ...my unpopular opinion is that I don't like fireworks in neighborhoods. In large group gathering ..yes, but in neighborhoods, no, because they are loud and some people just don't want to hear them.
I agree with you in so many of the unpopular opinions especially with Starbucks and Boss Babe. If I am out and about and want a cup of coffee I like Dunkin Donuts. And the Boss Babe thing is ridiculous. Whoever got on the train for the pretty organization do not have kids and husbands. Ha ha!
I absolutely agree with you!! Especially the whole drinking thing. As a mom who was raised in an alcoholic family but does NOT drink, both my children have issue with alcohol. It breaks my heart but no matter how you try to help them it is out of our control.
The T-shirts about drinking alcohol - yes! I totally agree! Mainly because when I took my teenage son school shopping last year there were SO many tee shirts for young men for sale at a particular store that were basically advertising for different beer companies or whiskey. I will never buy one of those. I don’t understand….
Umm, Marnie; I swear you can hear what is inside my head!!! YES to ALL of this and SO much more!!!! I'd love another "brain dump" video SOON!!! You made my day!
I agree with everything you mentioned. I get annoyed when I thank someone and their response is "No problem". I always want to ask, "What would have made it a problem?" "You're welcome" is the best response!
When I purchase something from a store where a millennial is at the cash register, I am rarely thanked. Most often, it's something along the line of, "Have a good one." That drives me crazy, and my millennial kids don't get why it's so irritating to me.
I recently cancelled my subscription to a favorite youtuber bc she felt compelled to share her political views, through which she condemned homosexuality and spewed other hate under the guise of "God." I am so disappointed that she didn't just stick with beauty, health, fashion, etc. I tune in to enjoy a reprieve from all of the hate and political and religious angst in the world. Happy you haven't gone in that direction, Marnie...and I agree with you on all points except chocolate haha. Thank you.
Three opinions in & we’re the same creature. 🤣 I am so with you on the drinking culture. I was raised in a similar way & I think that really does impact our perception on it.
I don’t understand the problem with moist either. But then again, when I hear someone say snatched all I think is how back in the 80’s we use to use that word to describe lady bits. Lol
I don't like all the different versions of the U.S. Flag - replacing the stars or stripes with something else....I saw a graphic on TV news using 50 icons of guns to replace the stars. This was tacky and a big no for me. Keep it EXACTLY as it is.
My only disagreement is about organizing. It soothes my soul when things are in order. I'm very visual and seeing a cabinet, drawer, closet uniform and in order makes me smile. It's personality and the way we were raised I think. Grow up in a toxic chaotic house and your room is the only thing you have for some semblance of control. That and being a Virgo (we're persnickety) I've got the double whammy. I love organizing and looking for that "better way to build a mousetrap" idea. I love making things more functional, usable and easily accessible. I get overwhelmed easily so order is crucial.
Remember wooden card catalogs? I loved finding a book using the Dewey Decimal system. You are really so funny, Marnie! You crack me up and I love your sense of humor. Thank you! 🌟 ❤️
I totally agree on the glamourizimg drinking and sexing up of makeup. I think it is ridiculous , desperate , and actually inappropriate since some teens are using it too. I think that is actually who they are targeting.
I totally agree on all your points of view. I despise the organization “standard” and the way it just makes women feel like there’s yet another task they have to excel at to be a good wife/mom. The thing that I am SO sick of that immediately came to mind for me is TIE DYE. The hippies did it best and it should’ve been left in the late 60s. I’m in my 50s and I have seen tie dye come and go every other year my entire life. I’m sick to death of it!
YESSSSS! Thank you for saying it. The Starbucks culture, the drinking culture, the sexy name makeup, the over-fancy organization. We all become brain washed by social media and just assume this is normal or how we are suppose to be. Some of the items you said, I didn’t even realize I dislike those things too because I am just so used to it. However, I won’t buy makeup with obscene names.
Yes and thank you!! I think I love you even more now. I will say though, that when we moved from a very dry climate to a very humid one, it did save a lot of money to get the containers that seal. When left in their original packaging things went stale quickly. Labeling though, the minute I label a container “goldfish” the kids will decide they don’t like goldfish anymore. So no way!
The gross misuse of the word “myself.” I hear it everywhere, including lawyers in front of a jury. Fully 90% of the time I hear that word, it’s used incorrectly and it makes me feel like the whole freaking country needs a grammar refresh. “Myself” is never the subject of a sentence, people listening to me do not have questions for “myself”, etc. When did we stop teaching grammar (that’s an honest question )?
One of my main pet peeves is when drivers in the fast/passing lane don’t move to the right lane when they are just cruising and blocking other drivers. Aaargh
I would LOVE to listen to you do a podcast on important issues. You’re witty, intelligent and conscientious! With that being said, I know that your channel is more of an escape from all the drama that is around us. I rarely comment but I love the content you bring 🥰
I agree with everything you said also. Especially glamorizing the alcohol usage. I was a court reporter in court for years and so many bad things happen because of the use of alcohol. And for it to be glamorized is so wrong.
I am totally with you with the whole friends online. I grew up with the whole stranger danger mentality. It even took me a long time to start commenting on videos because I didn’t want it to be weird or uncomfortable.
I 100% agree on all your opinions. I do however differ on the storage container thing. The only items I put into different containers are my cereals, flours, sugars. That's only to keep them fresh for longer.
We might be the same person…right down to the chocolate! One of my other pet peeves is watching someone with really long nails try to do their skin care or makeup without poking an eye out!
I agree and I’m gonna say that I think it’s gross having super long nails just because of all the gross stuff so I can get underneath there/And I always have that moment where I wonder how somebody can be productive . Then again maybe I’m jealous because I could never be productive with those nails. I couldn’t use my phone because the sound of it just irritates me
My pet hate is the lack of adverbs in our language these days. "It turned out perfect", she speaks real slow". Where did our "ly's" go? Adjectives have a good use - why let our grammar disappear?
Yes! I completely agree with this. I am also always correcting my son when he does this. I actually heard him correcting one of his friends recently and secretly thought, “ Yes! I’m actually getting through!”. 🤣
Yes! Grammar has disappeared from the American version of the English language! “I should have went,” “I had ran,” “We could have came.” I hear these everywhere, including on TV at times. Drives me crazy!
Agree 100 % with you about the organization of books by color ! Something even worse ? People who turn the book jackets inside out so all the books are white. I have a den that has all the walls covered with bookshelves so god knows how many books I have ( and love) and seeing all those shelves filled with books I have read brings a smile to me everyday!
Wow!! Someone else that does not like Starbucks!!! Yay!!! It's taste burnt. Most of everything you say I agree!!! By the way, have you tried Roller lash by beniful? I just love that mascara. You can get travel size to try for 12.00 at Ulta. I agree on names of makeup. Embarrassing. You always look wonderful. Thanks for the fun video. We must be soul sisters from a different generation.
How fun to have an opinion without worrying about cancel culture! I believe it was Oprah who coined the whole 'my truth' thing. Just means 'my opinion' but makes it sound more important, I guess. Pet peeves are adults saying 'like' before every word, calling the picture on the wall, a pitcher, calling adult women honey or dear by the waitstaff in a restaurant, not teaching children/teens to give up their seat to an elderly person. Back in the 70's or 80's parents tried to get the over sexualization of children through advertising etc stopped. They were ridiculed mercilessly. Slippery slope and here we are today wanting to sexualize children in elementary schools.
The sexual references on cosmetics have often stopped me from buying them because I cannot have them around my children. For instance, I wanted to buy the Better Than Sex Mascara and that stopped me. I even thought of buying it and covering it up with a Sharpie but I do believe it was embossed on. However I found the Thrive Causementics tubing one and have not looked back since. Even individual eyeshadow colors get lewd names. It's awful.
1) Booty shorts of any kind is just a big no. I don’t want to see all your stuff hanging out. 2) People who are always on their phones. Whether it’s FaceTiming someone while shopping or taking selfies etc. just put it away and enjoy the day. 3) People who go to the movies and don’t watch the movie because they are chatting with whoever’s with them or their phones keep going off. Just stay home.
Continuing my binge watching while on maternity leave! I agree with every single one of your unpopular opinions. Particularly the glamorizing of the alcohol culture. I particularly hate the message that it sends to kids that their moms need alcohol in order to deal with being their parent. It is so harmful!
I just came across you and I'm watching all I can! I so don't get the wine/drinking obsession, too! The last thing I want to do when I'm having a hard day or I'm sad is have a drink and feel worse! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for this video, Marnie. I’ve seriously wondered if I’m the only one that feels that way about all the things you mentioned! Another huge pet peeve of mine is going out to a nice restaurant for a relaxing dinner and not being able to enjoy it because of a group at a nearby table that is so loud, you can’t hear yourself think. This happened again a few days ago and it was cringe-worthy because the lady who was obnoxiously loud was constantly being shushed by members of her own party. I felt bad for them, as well as us! 🤫🤫😂
Thank you for sharing your opinions! I am loving your channel more and more! I'm binge watching you from Florida while the Super Bowl is on in the other room. I could make it my whole life without watching a Super Bowl game...and that's MY opinion on that topic. ;) It is also my opinion that the day of a Super Bowl is one of THE best days to go shopping! You practically have the stores to yourself! As for the platform shoes and crop top style, I lived through that trend MANY moons ago when I was in the 7th grade back in the early 70's, so I'll be taking a hard pass on buying into that again! I have no clue how to put on makeup like you did here, or even why and what you were doing while applying it but I was so intrigued watching you! You do it so effortlessly! P.S. I'm from San Antonio.
Agreed with most of your unpopular opinions. Starbucks coffee is gross…it tastes burnt. I hate the use of Boss Babe…it does sound demeaning. And 100% agree with the glamorizing of drinking. My SIL drinks daily and pretty much at any family gathering and kids sporting event. I don’t get it. Don’t get me wrong…I like a drink now and then but it’s not a requirement.
I quit most social media platforms (aside from YT) almost 6 years ago and I will say that was a wake up call to how much I was addicted to those apps. And also, you also realize who your true friends are. When it's not easy to interact with a "Heart or a like" most people don't put forth the effort. As far as your opinions, I pretty much agree with most of these. Especially the Starbucks thing. I thought I was the only one that didn't care for Starbucks. I just don't get it. Those platform heels take me back to my prom in the 90's. I insisted on getting these huge platform velvet heels. My mom called them my "streetwalker shoes" :D Love your top. I bought the robin egg blue color and love it so much, so I plan on getting a couple more!
I despise the amount of f-bombs that fly around. I think it displays a lack of vocabulary and a degradation of our culture. Am I the last person on earth with clean language?
I am in total agreement with all you said. The alcohol bothers me so badly. An alcoholic grandfather and it's trickle down effect is too real to be ignored. Glamorizing is just completely absurd.
I'm a proud feminist and a divorced single mom who finds Dr. Laura unbearable, and yet I completely agree with all your unpopular opinions. We're not all the same women, but curiosity and tolerance are what make life endlessly interesting.
Oh, and the all white decor! White walls, white couches (who's got time to wash them all the time) white pillows, white bedding, white towels. Sure it may look pretty...but seriously, what a pain in the butt! I have kids and husband and a dog....I'd be washing things alllll the time!
My personal peeve: people on their cell phones with speaker on going about their business and talking back and forth. I don’t want you listen to your conversation. It’s rude. We were eating out and a person behind us got a call. They left their table (nice etiquette) but then stood behind our table and continued the conversation on speaker. Rude. Go outside, tell them you’ll call back later Or put your phone on vibrate. That way nobody has to hear it ring and nobody has to hear your conversation. The end.
I don’t think leggings are clothes. Just saying. Unless you wear it with a REALLY long sweater and boots. Btw, I do like Starbucks but only the dark roast. ;).
Yes! Spot on! I especially agree with the alcohol culture! I work in a hospital and some days, all of my patients are in for alcohol abuse. I don’t think our culture realizes what is happening.
Mine is grammar - "Me and my friend are going to the movie, no, "My friend and I are going to the movie". It's easy people, me is not going to the movie!
Mine is grammar, too. And punctuation. Mine is far from perfect, but simple things, like, “I seen”, just makes my skin crawl. (I can’t get over how common that one is.) And punctuation (or the lack thereof) in online comments…argh. 🤦♀️🤓😊 Oh, and addressing people in a professional communication as, “you guys”. No. Just, no. 😜
I so agree with the reaction you have regarding the sexual references on makeup product names. What market are they aiming for? Loved the reverse scenario about doing that for mens products.
Here’s one of my many pet-peeves: when people ( usually young men) refer to women as “ females”. 😡 That has to be the most ignorant sounding thing I’ve ever heard. I’m not talking about when one is referring to gender specifically but more so when they’re simply replacing the word “ ladies” or “women” with “ female”. For example: “ Females love when I cruise by in my Ferrari”. That just happens to be one I heard recently. Just yuck! YUCK, yuck, yuck! It always sounds to me like they’re referring to a female dog or something.
I agree with most of your opinions. Some of my many opinions are grammar related. “Nauseous” is not “nauseated.” When did we start saying “addicting” for “addictive?” I could go on and on and on. 😆
I thought of a couple more. I hate laminated brows. In a few years people are going to look back and wonder why they thought it looked good for their brows to be sticking straight up and plastered to their forehead. Pajamas in public. I cannot believe the number of people who cannot be bothered to put clothes on to grocery shop, etc. I'm also over all the loungewear. And let's start calling joggers what they are. Sweatpants. Some of them may be a nicer material but they are glorified sweatpants.
If you are not a sick child or college freshman you must put on sweatpants to schlump around in Walmart like the rest of us. We wake up and get dressed and that requires taking off what we slept in. I really don’t get a grown woman or man wearing PJ’s in public. Buy one pair of sweatpants in a basic color to run out of house and jump back into your comfy clothes when your errands or day over.
I find myself having more pet peeves the older I get 😀. Now you have given me more unpopular opinions 😁. I can not stand it when people say “does that make sense” every time they tell someone something.
I knew when I was watching this video that I would love reading the comments! One of my pet peeves is listening to so many RUclipsrs over say a word or phrase. One lady II watch says “very” over and over again to describe a product: it is very very good, it is very, very, very creamy,, etc. Other girls that I watch say “definitely” about 50 times in each video or “absolutely love”. If you are going to speak for a living, please pay attention to this! Marnie, you do not oversay any words and neither does Lisa at lisalisad1. Your speaking styles are very conversational and natural! And congrats for not spending so much time by editing. ITS OKAY TO MESS UP A WORD OR SOMETHING. We all do it. 🤣

As a 28 y/o parent of a toddler and probably not in your target demographic, “mommy wine culture” drives me crazy and runs rampant on social media. Parenting has its share of ups and downs but I don’t need to self-medicate with alcohol in the name of self care to handle the ebbs and flows of parenting. My child is not a burden and I am so sick of seeing parenting projected this way on socials.
34 yr old parent of 3 boys under 8. I couldn't have said it better! Now coffee? That may be another story, lol.
I felt this way when my kids were small. The "Mommy needs wine" trend started back then and it made me sad for that generation of kids being raised by moms openly embracing the idea that their kids (and husbands) were annoying, a bother and too much work. We had 3 sons in 5 years. It was sometimes chaotic or challenging but I would never want my kids to associate our relationship with me needing to drink.
There is an excellent 12 step program for this!
I will preface this with I never noticed this until I deleted all social media two years ago… because surely I was guilty of the same thing. When you are out with a group of people, dinner, party etc and people are constantly on their phones scrolling through tik tok, Instagram, etc. People don’t even realize how completely insulting it is when you are speaking to someone and they reach in their pocket to check some alert they got. I could go on and on. People are wasting their lives with mindless time sucks like TikTok and I just refuse to give away that much of my time, brain power, focus, etc. It’s like living in a world of narcissistic zombies.

I call Starbucks, Charbucks. Nothing but burnt brown water. You made me smile with this video!
Totally agree about the books!! I was reading a magazine the other day and the woman in the article had turned all the books in her home office library - three bookshelves worth-back to front. So the pages showed instead of the spines. Because “it fit the aesthetic better.” Supposedly these were books she used, as well. How she found anything I have no idea! 🤦♀️
So agree with the whole “bitches” thing…..I worked in an office of very young woman and I never understood it. In my day it was/is an insult…lol.
When you said I don’t like Starbucks coffee I immediately hit the like button.

Thank you for what you said about the drinking culture. Alcohol is so glorified in our society that if you don’t drink, you’re somewhat shamed as a goodie-goodie while those who can “hold their liquor” are praised and admired. Alcoholism has caused horrendous problems for so many families, yet few influencers ever acknowledge that.

Starbucks has the worst burnt tasting coffee
We need to stop glamorizing alcohol. There are better ways to deal with stress and anxiety.
I have a problem with the f*** word being used by everyone, anywhere, especially around children 😡. Parents using it around & to their children. No respect😏
I absolutely cannot stand the commercials for Lumi or any other personal issues. For example, erectile dis function , vaginal mesh, if you have a crooked penis etc.

I HATE the Lumi commercials.
You were so spot on with everything you said. I cringed also with cosmetic companies naming their products. Especially when cosmetic shopping with my young daughter. We make up our own suitable fun names.
I dislike when people use north/south/east/west when giving directions. What happened to straight/right/left? If it’s a cloudy day, can’t see the sun & I am lost, I don’t know which way is north.
Omg I love this.
Or when they assume I know which direction is which in the first place! I can't figure that out ever!!
Ha!!! This made me laugh! I agree 100% with all of this. Not that it matters-because opinions 🤷🏻♀️
A cup of coffee at home is a bajillion times better than Starbucks. I tried dripping foundation on my face the other day because I was in a hurry and didn’t want to clean makeup off my hands. I dropped it right onto my white shirt. 😂😂😂 Dumbest way to apply anything to your face. Love your honesty, Marnie! 🥰
People using the nominative "I" with an accusative verb, which should be "me." E.g. "My mom gave it to John and I" because they think it sounds proper, but "to John and me" is actually correct. Told me, gave it to me, sat next to me, next to John and me, etc is correct. Case doesn't change when another person is added! Drives me nuts 😂
Also, when people lick their fingers for any reason, especially after eating or trying to separate pages, money, or plastic bags. 🤢
OMG... COMMON SENSE!!! So refreshing! We all live “real” lives, & should enjoy them. It is so sad when people are so influenced by fantasy that they become discontent with their real lives. All of You tube, and other social media is fun, but it’s a disaster if that becomes what people base their opinions and lives on. Thank you!
I appreciate that you have a moral compass and it doesn’t point to the gutter. Classy is beautiful!
Thank you kindly!
In addition to agreeing with most of yours ...my unpopular opinion is that I don't like fireworks in neighborhoods. In large group gathering ..yes, but in neighborhoods, no, because they are loud and some people just don't want to hear them.
I can’t understand the waste of time and not to mention the environment. I hate fireworks.
When people say, "these ones." NO.
Yes, I hate that too!
Thank you!!! This is a biggie for me!!! Most YT’ bers say “these ones or those ones”. Drives me insane.
I agree with you in so many of the unpopular opinions especially with Starbucks and Boss Babe. If I am out and about and want a cup of coffee I like Dunkin Donuts. And the Boss Babe thing is ridiculous. Whoever got on the train for the pretty organization do not have kids and husbands. Ha ha!
100 agree with the glamorizing drinking culture!!
I absolutely agree with you!! Especially the whole drinking thing. As a mom who was raised in an alcoholic family but does NOT drink, both my children have issue with alcohol. It breaks my heart but no matter how you try to help them it is out of our control.
The T-shirts about drinking alcohol - yes! I totally agree! Mainly because when I took my teenage son school shopping last year there were SO many tee shirts for young men for sale at a particular store that were basically advertising for different beer companies or whiskey. I will never buy one of those. I don’t understand….
Umm, Marnie; I swear you can hear what is inside my head!!! YES to ALL of this and SO much more!!!! I'd love another "brain dump" video SOON!!! You made my day!
I agree with everything you mentioned. I get annoyed when I thank someone and their response is "No problem". I always want to ask, "What would have made it a problem?" "You're welcome" is the best response!
Oh I get annoyed by that also.
When I purchase something from a store where a millennial is at the cash register, I am rarely thanked. Most often, it's something along the line of, "Have a good one." That drives me crazy, and my millennial kids don't get why it's so irritating to me.
Or they say, “Of course”. That annoys me along with “No problem”.
Pet peeve: someone close to my age calling me honey, hun…. Unless you’re a very old grandma, don’t call me that!
I recently cancelled my subscription to a favorite youtuber bc she felt compelled to share her political views, through which she condemned homosexuality and spewed other hate under the guise of "God." I am so disappointed that she didn't just stick with beauty, health, fashion, etc. I tune in to enjoy a reprieve from all of the hate and political and religious angst in the world. Happy you haven't gone in that direction, Marnie...and I agree with you on all points except chocolate haha. Thank you.
Great video. I hate when influencers say they are obsessed with a product over and over again. Makes my skin crawl.
The Edward Scissorhands fingernails. There, I said it!
Three opinions in & we’re the same creature. 🤣 I am so with you on the drinking culture. I was raised in a similar way & I think that really does impact our perception on it.
I know I am probably showing my age but I don’t get the pink, purple, blue hair tinting thing, it looks horrible to me, not natural 🤣
i can't even express how much I DESPISE boss babe ugh its disgusting. Men would never say they're boss dudes or boss bros. Absolutely NOT!
I don’t understand the problem with moist either. But then again, when I hear someone say snatched all I think is how back in the 80’s we use to use that word to describe lady bits. Lol
OMG DEAD
I don't like all the different versions of the U.S. Flag - replacing the stars or stripes with something else....I saw a graphic on TV news using 50 icons of guns to replace the stars. This was tacky and a big no for me. Keep it EXACTLY as it is.
My only disagreement is about organizing. It soothes my soul when things are in order. I'm very visual and seeing a cabinet, drawer, closet uniform and in order makes me smile. It's personality and the way we were raised I think. Grow up in a toxic chaotic house and your room is the only thing you have for some semblance of control. That and being a Virgo (we're persnickety) I've got the double whammy. I love organizing and looking for that "better way to build a mousetrap" idea. I love making things more functional, usable and easily accessible. I get overwhelmed easily so order is crucial.
Sometimes people put their food in containers to keep the bugs and varmints out. Neet and tudy is great but no bugs are better
Thank you Marni for calling attention to the women calling other women "bitches". That is disrespectful.
Remember wooden card catalogs? I loved finding a book using the Dewey Decimal system. You are really so funny, Marnie! You crack me up and I love your sense of humor. Thank you! 🌟 ❤️
If I never see another woman in a thong bathing suit, I will die a happy woman. Lordie, but I hate haing to see people's backsides.
I totally agree on the glamourizimg drinking and sexing up of makeup. I think it is ridiculous , desperate , and actually inappropriate since some teens are using it too. I think that is actually who they are targeting.
I totally agree on all your points of view. I despise the organization “standard” and the way it just makes women feel like there’s yet another task they have to excel at to be a good wife/mom. The thing that I am SO sick of that immediately came to mind for me is TIE DYE. The hippies did it best and it should’ve been left in the late 60s. I’m in my 50s and I have seen tie dye come and go every other year my entire life. I’m sick to death of it!
YESSSSS! Thank you for saying it. The Starbucks culture, the drinking culture, the sexy name makeup, the over-fancy organization. We all become brain washed by social media and just assume this is normal or how we are suppose to be. Some of the items you said, I didn’t even realize I dislike those things too because I am just so used to it. However, I won’t buy makeup with obscene names.
Yes and thank you!! I think I love you even more now. I will say though, that when we moved from a very dry climate to a very humid one, it did save a lot of money to get the containers that seal. When left in their original packaging things went stale quickly. Labeling though, the minute I label a container “goldfish” the kids will decide they don’t like goldfish anymore. So no way!
The gross misuse of the word “myself.” I hear it everywhere, including lawyers in front of a jury. Fully 90% of the time I hear that word, it’s used incorrectly and it makes me feel like the whole freaking country needs a grammar refresh. “Myself” is never the subject of a sentence, people listening to me do not have questions for “myself”, etc. When did we stop teaching grammar (that’s an honest question )?
One of my main pet peeves is when drivers in the fast/passing lane don’t move to the right lane when they are just cruising and blocking other drivers. Aaargh
I would LOVE to listen to you do a podcast on important issues. You’re witty, intelligent and conscientious! With that being said, I know that your channel is more of an escape from all the drama that is around us. I rarely comment but I love the content you bring 🥰
Maybe one day!
this video made me LOL. i love you after this video. i agree, especially your point about organizing your books based on color…. i can’t!!
I agree with everything you said also. Especially glamorizing the alcohol usage. I was a court reporter in court for years and so many bad things happen because of the use of alcohol. And for it to be glamorized is so wrong.
Boss babe=I’m in a MLM scheme.
I am totally with you with the whole friends online. I grew up with the whole stranger danger mentality. It even took me a long time to start commenting on videos because I didn’t want it to be weird or uncomfortable.
I 100% agree on all your opinions. I do however differ on the storage container thing. The only items I put into different containers are my cereals, flours, sugars. That's only to keep them fresh for longer.
That’s a good reason to do it. It’s not to look pretty.
We decant a lot of pantry goods into air tight containers at my mom’s house. She lives in the country and can have mouse issues. 🐁
We might be the same person…right down to the chocolate! One of my other pet peeves is watching someone with really long nails try to do their skin care or makeup without poking an eye out!
I agree and I’m gonna say that I think it’s gross having super long nails just because of all the gross stuff so I can get underneath there/And I always have that moment where I wonder how somebody can be productive . Then again maybe I’m jealous because I could never be productive with those nails. I couldn’t use my phone because the sound of it just irritates me
My pet hate is the lack of adverbs in our language these days. "It turned out perfect", she speaks real slow". Where did our "ly's" go? Adjectives have a good use - why let our grammar disappear?
Yes. And why do Americans no longer know about the correct verb to use. Makes me crazy.
Yes! I completely agree with this. I am also always correcting my son when he does this. I actually heard him correcting one of his friends recently and secretly thought, “ Yes! I’m actually getting through!”. 🤣
Yes! Grammar has disappeared from the American version of the English language! “I should have went,” “I had ran,” “We could have came.” I hear these everywhere, including on TV at times. Drives me crazy!
Agree 100 % with you about the organization of books by color ! Something even worse ? People who turn the book jackets inside out so all the books are white. I have a den that has all the walls covered with bookshelves so god knows how many books I have ( and love) and seeing all those shelves filled with books I have read brings a smile to me everyday!
Pet peeve… people who write “your welcome”… instead of “you’re welcome” and they are college educated 🙄
Wow!! Someone else that does not like Starbucks!!! Yay!!! It's taste burnt. Most of everything you say I agree!!! By the way, have you tried Roller lash by beniful? I just love that mascara. You can get travel size to try for 12.00 at Ulta. I agree on names of makeup. Embarrassing. You always look wonderful. Thanks for the fun video. We must be soul sisters from a different generation.
I so agree with the drinking culture! When did it become normal for people to drink everyday in every gathering.
Yes yes yes to everything you said! The tiny town I live in thinks I'm stuck up or crazy for my opinions. Glad to know it's not just me.
How fun to have an opinion without worrying about cancel culture! I believe it was Oprah who coined the whole 'my truth' thing. Just means 'my opinion' but makes it sound more important, I guess. Pet peeves are adults saying 'like' before every word, calling the picture on the wall, a pitcher, calling adult women honey or dear by the waitstaff in a restaurant, not teaching children/teens to give up their seat to an elderly person. Back in the 70's or 80's parents tried to get the over sexualization of children through advertising etc stopped. They were ridiculed mercilessly. Slippery slope and here we are today wanting to sexualize children in elementary schools.
The sexual references on cosmetics have often stopped me from buying them because I cannot have them around my children. For instance, I wanted to buy the Better Than Sex Mascara and that stopped me. I even thought of buying it and covering it up with a Sharpie but I do believe it was embossed on. However I found the Thrive Causementics tubing one and have not looked back since. Even individual eyeshadow colors get lewd names. It's awful.
1) Booty shorts of any kind is just a big no. I don’t want to see all your stuff hanging out.
2) People who are always on their phones. Whether it’s FaceTiming someone while shopping or taking selfies etc. just put it away and enjoy the day.
3) People who go to the movies and don’t watch the movie because they are chatting with whoever’s with them or their phones keep going off. Just stay home.
I work in retail, the thing that drives me crazy more than anything, not only are they on their phone, they’re on speakerphone!!😳🤦🏼♀️
@@kathleent6653 that drives me crazy too!
💯 agree on Starbucks . Never got it, never will
People who say "I seen him" not "I saw him. Makes my teeth hurt.
Continuing my binge watching while on maternity leave! I agree with every single one of your unpopular opinions. Particularly the glamorizing of the alcohol culture. I particularly hate the message that it sends to kids that their moms need alcohol in order to deal with being their parent. It is so harmful!
Totally agree with you! And congrats on your new baby!
I just came across you and I'm watching all I can! I so don't get the wine/drinking obsession, too! The last thing I want to do when I'm having a hard day or I'm sad is have a drink and feel worse! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for this video, Marnie. I’ve seriously wondered if I’m the only one that feels that way about all the things you mentioned! Another huge pet peeve of mine is going out to a nice restaurant for a relaxing dinner and not being able to enjoy it because of a group at a nearby table that is so loud, you can’t hear yourself think. This happened again a few days ago and it was cringe-worthy because the lady who was obnoxiously loud was constantly being shushed by members of her own party. I felt bad for them, as well as us! 🤫🤫😂
Thank you for sharing your opinions! I am loving your channel more and more! I'm binge watching you from Florida while the Super Bowl is on in the other room. I could make it my whole life without watching a Super Bowl game...and that's MY opinion on that topic. ;) It is also my opinion that the day of a Super Bowl is one of THE best days to go shopping! You practically have the stores to yourself! As for the platform shoes and crop top style, I lived through that trend MANY moons ago when I was in the 7th grade back in the early 70's, so I'll be taking a hard pass on buying into that again! I have no clue how to put on makeup like you did here, or even why and what you were doing while applying it but I was so intrigued watching you! You do it so effortlessly! P.S. I'm from San Antonio.
I agree with the drinking thing. We never kept alcohol in the house when kids were growing up.
Agreed with most of your unpopular opinions. Starbucks coffee is gross…it tastes burnt.
I hate the use of Boss Babe…it does sound demeaning.
And 100% agree with the glamorizing of drinking. My SIL drinks daily and pretty much at any family gathering and kids sporting event. I don’t get it. Don’t get me wrong…I like a drink now and then but it’s not a requirement.
I quit most social media platforms (aside from YT) almost 6 years ago and I will say that was a wake up call to how much I was addicted to those apps. And also, you also realize who your true friends are. When it's not easy to interact with a "Heart or a like" most people don't put forth the effort.
As far as your opinions, I pretty much agree with most of these. Especially the Starbucks thing. I thought I was the only one that didn't care for Starbucks. I just don't get it.
Those platform heels take me back to my prom in the 90's. I insisted on getting these huge platform velvet heels. My mom called them my "streetwalker shoes" :D
Love your top. I bought the robin egg blue color and love it so much, so I plan on getting a couple more!
What offends me more than anything else is when these young influencers use the F balm every other word it’s extremely offensive
Agree. Starbucks coffee is horrible. So sad. What a waste
I despise the amount of f-bombs that fly around. I think it displays a lack of vocabulary and a degradation of our culture. Am I the last person on earth with clean language?
No you are not! I feel exactly the same and always have always will! Besides being vulgur, it's totally unnecessary! Stay clean! 😀
I think if someone is over 25 and they are glamorizing drinking they might have a problem. I’m judging.
I am in total agreement with all you said. The alcohol bothers me so badly. An alcoholic grandfather and it's trickle down effect is too real to be ignored. Glamorizing is just completely absurd.
I'm a proud feminist and a divorced single mom who finds Dr. Laura unbearable, and yet I completely agree with all your unpopular opinions. We're not all the same women, but curiosity and tolerance are what make life endlessly interesting.
Absolutely!
Oh, and the all white decor! White walls, white couches (who's got time to wash them all the time) white pillows, white bedding, white towels. Sure it may look pretty...but seriously, what a pain in the butt! I have kids and husband and a dog....I'd be washing things alllll the time!
It’s the stains, when you’ve washed it, it’s clean but the stain won’t come out - you have to throw it out.
Thar's how I feel about the "everything prison gray" trend. What is that? Isn't it depressing? Why monochromatic at all? It's bland.
My personal peeve: people on their cell phones with speaker on going about their business and talking back and forth. I don’t want you listen to your conversation. It’s rude. We were eating out and a person behind us got a call. They left their table (nice etiquette) but then stood behind our table and continued the conversation on speaker. Rude. Go outside, tell them you’ll call back later Or put your phone on vibrate. That way nobody has to hear it ring and nobody has to hear your conversation. The end.
I don’t think leggings are clothes. Just saying. Unless you wear it with a REALLY long sweater and boots. Btw, I do like Starbucks but only the dark roast. ;).
I just thought of another trend that is driving me nuts! The bike short/bra top/blazer outfit. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?
What a fun video. The thing that bugs me is people using filters and not telling their viewers.
100% YES!!!
agree on everything...I'm always unpopular especially on the drinking culture
Omg! Thank you for bringing up the book issue. That has been driving me nuts when I watch videos and they buy books for decor.
Yes! Spot on! I especially agree with the alcohol culture! I work in a hospital and some days, all of my patients are in for alcohol abuse. I don’t think our culture realizes what is happening.
WOW!! People need to hear that more.
Mine is grammar - "Me and my friend are going to the movie, no, "My friend and I are going to the movie". It's easy people, me is not going to the movie!
Mine is grammar, too. And punctuation. Mine is far from perfect, but simple things, like, “I seen”, just makes my skin crawl. (I can’t get over how common that one is.) And punctuation (or the lack thereof) in online comments…argh. 🤦♀️🤓😊
Oh, and addressing people in a professional communication as, “you guys”. No. Just, no. 😜
I so agree with the reaction you have regarding the sexual references on makeup product names. What market are they aiming for? Loved the reverse scenario about doing that for mens products.
Here’s one of my many pet-peeves: when people ( usually young men) refer to women as “ females”. 😡 That has to be the most ignorant sounding thing I’ve ever heard. I’m not talking about when one is referring to gender specifically but more so when they’re simply replacing the word “ ladies” or “women” with “ female”.
For example: “ Females love when I cruise by in my Ferrari”. That just happens to be one I heard recently. Just yuck! YUCK, yuck, yuck!
It always sounds to me like they’re referring to a female dog or something.
Agree!
Calling lipstick, lippies. Ughhhh I don’t why it drives me crazy. And there are some RUclipsrs I love that say it all the time. Whyyy??
I totally agree.
Agree - as well as calling sunglasses “sunnies.” No good reason, it just bugs me.
I agree with most of your opinions. Some of my many opinions are grammar related. “Nauseous” is not “nauseated.” When did we start saying “addicting” for “addictive?” I could go on and on and on. 😆
I thought of a couple more. I hate laminated brows. In a few years people are going to look back and wonder why they thought it looked good for their brows to be sticking straight up and plastered to their forehead. Pajamas in public. I cannot believe the number of people who cannot be bothered to put clothes on to grocery shop, etc. I'm also over all the loungewear. And let's start calling joggers what they are. Sweatpants. Some of them may be a nicer material but they are glorified sweatpants.
If you are not a sick child or college freshman you must put on sweatpants to schlump around in Walmart like the rest of us. We wake up and get dressed and that requires taking off what we slept in. I really don’t get a grown woman or man wearing PJ’s in public. Buy one pair of sweatpants in a basic color to run out of house and jump back into your comfy clothes when your errands or day over.
I don’t like the huge gigantic long coffin nails to where the person can’t grip anything. I dunno it’s weird to me.
Not to mention cleanliness.
I find myself having more pet peeves the older I get 😀. Now you have given me more unpopular opinions 😁. I can not stand it when people say “does that make sense” every time they tell someone something.
I knew when I was watching this video that I would love reading the comments! One of my pet peeves is listening to so many RUclipsrs over say a word or phrase. One lady II watch says “very” over and over again to describe a product: it is very very good, it is very, very, very creamy,, etc. Other girls that I watch say “definitely” about 50 times in each video or “absolutely love”. If you are going to speak for a living, please pay attention to this! Marnie, you do not oversay any words and neither does Lisa at lisalisad1. Your speaking styles are very conversational and natural! And congrats for not spending so much time by editing. ITS OKAY TO MESS UP A WORD OR SOMETHING. We all do it. 🤣
