I don't know exactly why but whenever I see Martine McCutcheon on those Activia ads I want to scream at the TV. Can't quite put my finger on why.

Does anyone else dislike certain people for no good reason or AIBU?

ooooooh bitchy anecdote time!

Fiona Bruce talks completely normally and has normal eyebrows! She does!
Then the nanosecond a camera goes within 5 miles of her she's all

TakeThisOneHereForAStart · 29/09/2011 14:13

That woman who did the One Show and now does Daybreak.

That man who did the One Show and now does Daybreak.

Cheryl Cole

Fiona Phillips

Claire Sweeney

Colleen Nolan

The entire cast of Eastenders, past present AND future. But especially Shane Richie. He shouldn't even be on my list here, because I have a very good reason to hate him and that reason is he is an arse. But he's here because I never want to miss an opportunity to say how much I hate him.

David Dickinson. And the man who replaced him on that programme he used to do. Hate them both.

Katy "I can cook" from CBEEBIE's.

Annabel Karmel.

Fifi and the Flowertots - there's a garden just waiting for some weedkiller and insecticide if ever I saw one.

Cilla Black.

Jassa from Art Attack. And Jassa's parents for naming him Jassa.

David Walliams.

yellowraincoat · 29/09/2011 14:15

Vernon Kay, GAAAAH.

Terpsichore · 29/09/2011 14:18

YY to Fiona Bruce. Appallingly annoying.

And Tess Daly, gurning away like a glam version of Hylda Baker (if anyone remembers her).

MiseryBusiness · 29/09/2011 14:19

Ahhh Katy for 'I can cook' AARRGHHH

I hate her face!

euphrosyne · 29/09/2011 14:21

In no particular order:
Myleene Klass
Carol Vorderman
Fearne Cotton-Lauren Laverne (I always mix them up but despise them both equally)
Helen Mirren
Julia Roberts

Nick Robinson
Alex James
Jude Law
Gordon Ramsay

So no YANBU

ThePumpkinKing · 29/09/2011 14:21

Oh Anabel Karmel.

There are just no words to describe the gruesome awfulness.

harrietthespook · 29/09/2011 14:22

ROBERT sodding PESTON. As soon as you hear his voice on the telly you can be sure that everyone, everywhere has had a bad day.

StepfordWannabe · 29/09/2011 14:25

Craig Doyle is EVERYWHERE on Irish television at the moment - he has such a smug pompous little arse face that it makes me angry just looking at him.

Boris Johnson - shudder

Enda Kenny (Irish Taoiseach/PM) - his hair looks like a squirrel just decided to die on his head. He also blow-dries it (I know this because it's that really annoying Irish hair that when it gets in anyway damp outside, the curl and frizz just kick in and his hair begins to stand up more and more from his head - hilarious!).

ForYourDreamsAreChina · 29/09/2011 14:29

Robert Peston speaks like Greaseball Nigel Slater...all those mad long pauses in the middle of sentences and then BIG BOOMING EMPHASIS on totally the wrong words, so he sounds like a vinyl record that's been left on a sunny windowsill.

And if the Barefoot Contessa (whose food I love, truly madly and deeply) tells me one more time "this is going to be soooooooo gooooooood" and then we have to play along and pretend fucking Geoffrey has been hard at work in his office, or yet another group of lavender friends are coming round with their interior design projects and gerberas...I shall spit.

patindahat · 29/09/2011 14:40

Paul Whitehouse in the Aviva adverts. Chris Addison and Alexander Armstrong in the Direct Line ads. If i had a stick i wouldn't know who to poke first.

Terpsichore · 29/09/2011 14:40

PMSL at the Barefoot Contessa - it's that smug little self-approving 'PERfect!' she awards herself that drives me insane. Plus the fact that she has a mahoosive house/garden/purpose-built cookery studio and zillions of dollars. And bought the original business on a whim, as a diversion from her high-powered career at the White House Envy

Morloth · 29/09/2011 14:47

I would quite like to punch both Jamie Oliver and Bono in the face.

I imagine this whenever I see them, would be deeply satisfying.

OneOf8 · 29/09/2011 14:54

Danny Dyer - Speak properly, and not like a little boy trying far to hard to be a tough man!

There are many more (for example Mr Go Compare needs an arsnic sandwich) but they not worthy of my time!!

IndieNile · 29/09/2011 14:57

Another big vote for Martine McCutcheon here, she has an exceptionally irritating face, reminds me of a chipmunk but not in a good way, as I like the little furry one

Ant and Dec - neither funny nor endearing, just irritating

Pippa Middleton

Ed Balls - I always want to poke him in the eyes

Tony Blairs self-satisfied smirk and manic stare send my blood pressure soaring, and as for Cherie....words fail me completely...but maybe this is not the right thread for that as OP said rage for no good reason`...

ILoatheMickeyMouseClubhouse · 29/09/2011 14:59

Ben Fogle gives me the rage....

ForYourDreamsAreChina · 29/09/2011 15:21

How could I have forgotten Emma "it's all about me!" Watson. I have never heard any person on this planet (including the royals) do that faux-posh thing she does with vowels. High Nighe Brine Kie.

Professor (mustn't forget the professor bit) Brian fondling-invisible-breasts gets a virtual smack in the chops as well. Pompous prat. As do all his "it's maths! we're geeks! He is our messiah!" followers. Urgh.

mumsamilitant · 29/09/2011 15:23

Every single twit on "Made in Chelsea"

mumsamilitant · 29/09/2011 15:34

On a roll now! Saw the one from Made in Chelsea who doesnt know whether hes a boy or girl in Sainsbury the other day flicking his hair all over the place. Had to stop myself rushing to the bargain shelves to see if they had and clippers on sale Angry

Off to meditate.................

muffinflop · 29/09/2011 15:35

Who said Jude Law??? I'm disgusted by you!!!!

My list comprises of:

Dale winton
Craig Charles
Jeremy Paxman
Carol from eastenders
Ben from eastenders
The doctor from eastenders
Sue pollard
Janet something who talks weird and way too fast

I'm not very tolerant of other people!

TakeThisOneHereForAStart · 29/09/2011 16:04

I forgot George Osborne, I hate him because of his hair and his weird pasty face and just for existing.

And Beverley Callard.

And Eamon Holmes and his wife, Ruth whatever.

reelingintheyears · 29/09/2011 17:01

Vanessa Feltz and her awful hectoring tones when she does Jeremy Vine's show.
She interrupts and cuts people off.

Carol Vorderman for just being annoying.

Chris Moyles.
Steve Wright 'in the afternoon'.

WilsonFrickett · 29/09/2011 17:04

Forgot about Annabel sodding Karmel. And now I have THE RAGE!

ForYourDreamsAreChina · 29/09/2011 17:06

Annabel "and daddy loves chicken breast fillet poached in orange juice too!"

No Annabel, Daddy loves the gerzillions the mentalist fucking recipes bought in.

Hmmm. Doesn't she have some sort of filter thing whereby every time she's heckled on t'web she comes on all bouffant a-blazing? Come on then Annabel, put your liver casserole down and come and show us if yer 'ard enough. Grin
