Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

I hate motorbikes and big dogs. Motorbikes because the engine is too noisy. Big dogs because are dangerous (and kill people) and they bark too much.

We have small yappy dogs one one side of us as a loud as fuck motorcycle on the other side. The motorcycle is only a fucking 400cc thing too, but this dude apparently went to the dealer and was like "I need the exhaust which wakes up the entire neighborhood please."

I have a beagle. He's not too big and weighs 30lbs. He is the loudest and most vocal dog ever. He'll just start screaming for no reason. So it's not just big dogs that bark too much lol.

In my experience it's the small dogs that are problematic. Big dogs are usually chill and friendly, small dogs constantly crave attention.

Small dogs are annoying, too, in terms of barking.

I love well trained big dogs. I hate poorly trained dogs and owners who can't control them and don't take responsibility for them. Or who bring their dogs into places where they shouldn't be allowed for health and sanitation reasons.

I'll take a black lab, husky, or bernese mountain dog over a happy little fur-covered kidney any day of the week.
