Christmasssssssss is coming up, and I am per usual, per every year, per every decade, STRESSED. Running about to find gifts, gahhh, it's absolutely exhausting and my family is never happy with what I get them anyway, but it's not like I have a choice, because they would be way more offended if I didn't get them anything at all. So, you win some, you lose some.

Now that I am done with my short holiday rant, let's get on to the unpopular opinions. Every so often, I make a point to post the most relatable (or outrageous) unpopular opinions that I scour Reddit for. Basically, people who are fed up with certain things take to r/unpopularopinions and type out their frustrations with the world. Oftentimes, I disagree with what is being written, and I just label them whiny little insert a word here.

Other times, I kind of agree. Scroll down and be the judge. Then, check out these petty roommates who tried to drive their housemate out, but failed miserably and got what they deserved instead.

    UNPOPULAR r/unpopularopinion · Posted by u/NoOrange3690 22 hours ago Any work incentive that isn't just more money is lame. I've seen companies offer the lamest incentives from gatorade to cheap headphones (in an era where most of us have good quality headphones) or

    simply lunch which some companies will just do anyway. The only non financial incentive I can think of that I would like is maybe extra vacation time or PTO but that is also financial if you think about it.

    I work in schools and regularly hear teachers talk about how they're so tired of parents and students complaining about bad grades and failing or being close to failing and always blame the students. Sure, there are bad students and their failures are on them, but if a significant portion of

    the class is failing and they are actually in class and doing well otherwise I can almost guarantee that the problem is not just bad students. Start taking responsibility and doing some self-reflection to figure out what you're doing wrong and stop deflecting the blame.

    each other's phones for pictures, bank info... a calculator. All of these relationships where phones are as off limits as a diary is baffling to me. Hiding anything during a relationship (except maybe a surprise?) is a nope. When partners have a chance to

    conceal something, it leaves room for ugly things to sneak in. I struggle how, in a literate and fairly communications open society, spouses still feel weird looking at their partner's phone OR get mad when their phone is looked at.

    My wife and I have been together for about 15 years, with three kids. I have been the sole provider for most of this, with her staying home. But, for a period of about 2 1/2 years, I was the stay at home spouse. It was the best time of my life.

    I was very self conscious about being a stay at home dad, so I went above and beyond to take care of the home and kids. It took about 2-3 hours per day for the first few weeks, then just maintaining what I had done was about 2 hours per day. I got to spend more time with my kids. It was great.

    My wife was putting in 10-12 hours each day between getting ready, commuting and working. You bet your sweet I made sure she didn't have to lift a finger when she got home. If she did anything to help, it was because she genuinely wanted to.

    I'm not talking about spouses who are slobs, or just aren't engaging with their kids or partner. Certainly those are issues to be talked about. But complaining that they 'never' do the dishes? I would never expect them to.

    rant Saw a friend post a customer-shaming on their social media. Basically saying it's the customers job to tip a MINIMUM of %20 otherwise they "can't afford to go out". Stop shaming customers when your bosses are fleecing you.

    UNPOPULAR OPINION r/unpopularopinion Posted by u/Electrical_Box7293 6 months ago There is no excuse for people who are systematically late.

    character, due to it being the bare minimum that you ought to do in social circles and family. Whether the excuse is poor time management skills or procrastination, ultimately what you are saying to other people that wait is "hey, you'RE time doesn't mean that much".

    Some people tolerate this with sayings like "Well that is just him/her", or "It's in their nature" and quite frankly those people are equally as irresponsible as the former mentioned.

    Cats walk around in boxes they and in several times a day. Letting them walk around where you sleep is disgusting, no matter how often you clean the sheets, and letting them walk on counters and tables is extremely unsanitary at best.

    tacky to make them pay for their own bridesmaid dress. While it is true that they could just decline to be in your wedding, you as the bride are asking because you really want these particular people in your party. Your bridesmaids are doing you a favor, even if they are happily participating,
