Have you ever taken an instant dislike of someone?

[Poppet1974]

Have you ever just not liked the look of someone without ever having spoken to them?
What is it that you didn't like?
I think a school gate mum really dislikes me but yet I've never actually spoken with her! My DS has never have any dealings with her DS but they ended up at the same rugby class (outside of school), they just started last week. When we were there after school on Monday I sort of tripped whilst walking over to give my DS his water bottle and I could hear her laughing really loudly at me. Was def me she was laughing at, she was standing alone and was staring at me and laughing when I looked round to see who it was. It really upset me actually. I just don't understand it.

A random lady appears to have taken a dislike to me.

Her DC do an activity at the same sports centre on a Friday evening. I don't know her, never see her any where else except this sports centre and my DC do not recognise her DC from anywhere. I keep getting glared at by her

The guy who lives down the road from me :/
He does charity work, has recently lost his wife to cancer, chatty open guy... Just. Don't. Like. Him. I feel a knob for it but he gives me the heebie jeebies.

I do it regularly, it's like I have a twat radar-it's never been wrong yet.

A few times. Memorably with the landlady of a place we'd just moved into (we hadn't met her before, just the agent). And god was I right about her.

I've also had people take against me. One guy at school - dunno what I'd done, we actually had quite a lot in common, but he absolutely despised me. I hadn't thought we were on each other's radars at all, but encountered him in a group situation one day and he had evidently been hating me from afar for quite a long time.

And a bloke I worked with in my first job out of uni. He hated me, and he hated another, older woman on our team. I now suspect it was because we didn't perform femininity to his liking. Meh.

If they're not actually being aggressive and affecting my life, it doesn't really matter. I can't be to everyone's taste, after all.

I have - many times. I have only been wrong once. It's just an instinct, I either like or dislike people on sight.

Yes.

I take an instant dislike to anyone who talks about the amazing powers of their spidey senses and how they've never been wrong about a wrong 'un.

Hi all, thanks for your replies. It's quite comforting to know I'm not the only person this has happened to.
I just can't quite get my head around it, he openly despises me for some reason but yet I've never uttered a word to him. I just find it strange.
My sister says its because I'm nice and people see that as weak! I really don't know, why would it bother someone I don't know!! Very odd.

Oh yes! Lots of times. And some folk have taken a dislike to me too. Fine, I don't expect to appeal to everyone.

Yes my sisters hairdresser he has magic hands but I think he is a fucking fool

Yep. My neighbours. I knew they were going to be arseholes just by looking at them.

I was right

In 8 years I hope to be in a position where I can get the hell out of here.

Yes, some bloke comes into the care home for some reason - he's some sort of hanger on and knows one of the carers - and he totally freaks me out. I feel physically sick and panicky when I see him. I once hid in the cleaners cupboard just to avoid him

I once took an instant dislike to a colleague over a silly remark he made in a meeting. I hated being in his presence for a long time (quite irrationally). We ended up being very good friends after we were thrown together socially, purely by chance.

There's a guy in my zumba class who I hate despite never having spoken to. He's such a show off. He's clearly a dancer but my God likes to let the rest of us know. Does all these complicated twists and turns that are not what the instructor does. He has no spatial awareness and gets in everyone's way as a result.

There is a woman like this in my zumba class too, she lets out all these ear piercing yelps throughout the class and finishes the end of the class in the splits..... Somehow, there is always a little bubble of space all around her
