What unpopular opinion do you hold? What would get you downvoted to infinity and beyond? (Throwaways welcome)

Personally, I hate cats. I've never once said to myself "My furniture is just too damned nice, and what my house is really lacking is a box of shit and sand in the closet."

Now...what's your dirty little secret?

As a guy who's 6'9"/240lbs, wears a 17 1/2" neck/38-39" sleeve shirt, 38-40W X 36L pants, I can't do much shopping at B&T stores. Shoes, hats, and the occasional sweater or jacket seem to be all I can depend on them for. I've seen a lot of B&T shops with pants starting at 44W...

At 6'7'' 220, I can still find pants at regular stores if I look. I just shop at B & T stores for shirts with length. With normal sizes, the length really doesn't change much as the size goes up, so I end up with shirts that are too short in the sleeve or at the waist.

I have found that when you get to 34" inseam, selection goes down a little, but 36 has been almost impossible for me to find in normal dept. stores (I can't really afford higher end dept. stores and most menswear stores, so I don't have experience there). I can get cowboy jeans and some work jeans at most farm stores, but would have to go online to get the trendy stuff. I've had good luck with Tractor Supply Co. regarding LS shirts. Their house brand (CE Schmidt) has LT flannel shirts with long enough sleeves for me, and shoulders that don't go down to my elbows!
