Which fictional character gets on your nerves

[StealthPolarBear]

For me it's that woman in the vest top who spits her coffee out all over twitter

YY to Becky from the Shopaholic books. Absolute narcissist.

Mary-Lou Trelawney YES. Although I'm on the fence about Joey too.

God, yes to both, though schoolgirl Joey was far more bearable than bumptious schoolgirl Mary-Lou — it’s adult Joey who is so unspeakably interfering and cocksure, continually crashing through the staff room door with zany witticisms, strange slang, and GDPR-non compliant info on new girls.

And whose faith in her own parenting continues unabated, despite raising one teenage psychopath who throws bookends, one dozy, vague one, and one who seems to have been born with the mentality of a ground-down, middle-aged middle-manager.

Marianne Dashwood for me too. So easily changed her affections. So shallow

Bo Selecta particularly, but any of the characters played by Leigh Francis.
Similarly, any of the Little Britain characters ( also can't stand Leigh Francis and David Walliams, but that's another thread )

Christine Daae. Why she chose that wet blanket Raoul over Erik baffles me. Raoul only wants her when she's successful and will turn her into a trophy wife and then stop her working.

Carrie in Four Weddings and A Funeral

Aiden in Sex & The City - another drip

James Bond

God in the Bible. He really is an unsufferable narcissistic abuser. Violent, emotionally abusive, needy, sexually abusive (yes, Mary said yes, but is was hardly from a position of equals was it?) Wiping out whole cities of people, including newborn babies because they didn’t worship him enough. Wtf is that? Constantly setting up traps for his victims to prove their loyalty to him. I mean, he is just dreadful. Butt hurt all the time if he is not getting enough attention. Jesus was a lot more decent but still not great. Telling the woman he saved form stoning to “sin no more”. Well, she wasn’t sinning- she was feeding her family the only way she could. The Bible will always be the greatest work of literature though.

Fatty from the Enid Blyton books...Secret 7 or Famous 5 possibly? I just remember him always being the reason the kids ended up in hot water.
And Tess of the Durbervilles. What a miserable woman

The Find-Outers. He was annoying but at least had a bit of character built around him. Not a usual EB cooker-cutter type.

Jo March
Darrel Rivers and all her horrible friends

The main character in "I Don't Know How She Does It". Such a silly martyr.

Almost all, if not all, the main characters in John oFarrell's book May Contain Nuts. The book is meant to be sattire, but even so most of the characters are just ridiculous.

Jim from Friday night dinner

Also, Irene in the 44 Scotland Street series. I'm currently reading book 1, am enjoying it and the writing is great, but Irene is something else!

The first Catherine in Wuthering Heights
ME ME ME ME ME

Carrie from Homeland. Only watched 3 or 4 seasons but got fed up of the constant 'don't do that Carrie, it will cause big problems' and then her ploughing on ahead regardless of how risky and stupid her idea was - lo and behold it caused big problems. Every. Single. Episode. Had to stop watching because it made me so irate!

What??! Carrie is one of the best characters ever!

Alan Partridge. Not funny
Bloody Debbie Dingle Can't act.
Hermione Grainger. Know all.
Fizz from Coronation Street. Such wooden acting
Rebecca Front in anything. Cannot stand her
Leigh Francis.. tacky little man

Julia in motherland 🙈
Piper in oitnb

Hermione Grainger played by what's her face, just utterly unwatchable. The book Hermione was far better. Maybe it's just the actress.

April from parks and rec. She has absolutely no redeeming characteristics.

Becky Bloomwood from the Shopaholic series.

The Blacklist - Elizabeth Keen, she makes me want to throw things at the TV

The gold bloke in Star Wars. Irritates the hell out of me!

Daphne in Frasier

although I can't decide it it's the character or the terrible acting/over-acting I can't stand.
(she has some funny lines, but she's mainly just annoying)

Ashley Jensen’s character in Extras. Vacuous and completely thoughtless.
