Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I don't know of this is necessarily an unpopular opinion, but I am forced to disagree, particularly with restaurants. I have fairly severe misophonia, and that music is the only thing that allows me to eat in public, or generally be in many public spaces.
If the sounds that people make while eating (or a lot of the sounds people make at all) aren't covered up, it isn't just a shudder like "nails on a chalkboard" for me. I will literally go into fight or flight mode and sprint out of the area.
So I, for one appreciate the constant noise.
Look, I completely sympathise, but your point of view here is "because I am inconvenienced, everyone needs to adjust for me". How many people are affected by this?
If you are in need of masking other people sounds while eating, you can surely bring your own music and headphones and whatever to support you.
So, sorry, but I am with OP here. Loud music in public places such as restaurants is annoying.
No, I never suggested that everyone has to adjust to me. That's just my perspective on things. I just said that I appreciate the music. I don't disagree that most people don't like it. And that's why this is likely far from an unpopular opinion.
OK, I admit I read too much into your post. Sorry about that!
No problem. People in general are tense and on edge right now for many reasons.
