Unpopular opinions
The plural of "layoff" is "layoves".
Every non-pressurized drink should come in a bag, as it's a much more efficient packaging (assuming it must be disposable).
They should make mirrored keyboards for left-handed people, and we should trick new left-handed people into believing that's the kind of keyboard they're supposed to use. The keyboard should have its functions mirrored as well, so if you press the key labeled "←" it moves the cursor to the right on the screen, and backspace should be delete, and vice versa.

but if you need to hire a bunch of people, is it a layon? Or a standup?
efficient packaging depends on what you mean by efficient. Being stackable is efficient in some ways. Recycle AL cans are generally better than any kind of plastic, for the environment, so are glass bottles. The bags are usually a type of plastic and while that *can* often be recycled (a lot of work has gone into doing these better) a lot of places DO NOT actually recycle plastic and some places even fake it by collecting plastics but dumping them instead because no way to sort the plastic types, no place to recycle it, etc. And there have been problems, like plastic with bad chemistry used in cookware that is bad for the users.
I am left handed, and of all the things that are unworkable in life because of it, keyboards and computers have never been one of them for me (yes, I got that you were joking). I am find with normal keyboards and normal mouse, don't even left hand mouse. Things that throw me are ... simple spiral wound notebooks are not usable unless you do something weird like start on the 'last' page. Classic desks with an arm rest for right handed people are why my posture and sitting style are ruined for life. A number of firearms are only partly or not at all fixed for lefties, throwing hot brass onto the shooter or making you do something weird to use the safety etc. Scissors, tools, ... lots of little daily aggravations.

Driving opinions:
- People should use turn signals by second nature, even if nobody is around to see it.
- People should always have some sort of lights active on the front of their cars, even in broad daylight, to improve reaction time and make the car more visible.
- Turn signals should always be a different color than brake lights in order for others to differentiate intention in a split second, and to avoid issues where it's ambiguous with braking when some of the lights are broken.
Other:
- Australian is the best dialect of English (brekky, maccas, how ya going, servo, etc.), and British is the worst (cheese toasties?)
- Bottle caps should be attached to the bottle even after being opened.
- Sans-serif fonts that don't differentiate 'I' and 'l' are just the worst.
- YYYY/MM/DD is the best way to date something due to it keeping chronological order.
- Every single GUI option in an application should have an equivalent way to do that option through the command-line, with exceptions for things that are meant to be done in real-time only, or games, or for safety.
- If you start your unsolicited IM/chat with "hi" instead of directly asking me a question, I'M GOING TO IGNORE YOU FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
- Every new bridge should be designed to allow for safe pedestrian travel, and existing ones modified if possible.
I realize these aren't all necessarily "unpopular" opinions, they're more-so just humorous/pet peeve opinions.
This actually happens when you change the language to an RtL one like Arabic, on some computers.

Counterpoint: they say "Seega" instead of "Sega", or at least Millennial Aussies do.
"Foster's" for beer, generic.
"Throw another shrimp on the barbie!" Bastardized for the US, though. Down Under it would be prawns.

American English has never been logical or easy to learn even for an English as a first language speaker.
I actually agree with all the “driving” opinions.
I do be liking Irish better.
It is actually pretty annoying to try to cursor through mixed RtL and LtR fields, since you have to switch between left and right arrow buttons just to keep going the same direction.
Arrow buttons should function so that the cursor moves in the same direction as the molded arrow on the key, regardless of language.
People should be required to wear name tags.
(At least until we get the floating name above people’s heads.)
Lane splitting is moronic. (And if you die because you were lane splitting, it was your own feepin fault!)
