That Person who you irrationally dislike be they a celeb, someone you know, or a family member, the criteria being they are harmless and have done nothing to warrant your dislike of them except their very personality?

And you know that the fact you don't like them is really unreasonable but they make you absolutely seethe?

Or AIBU?

Havent RTFT, but Katherine Fucking Jenkins.

Cheryl TCFV. I sense she is a bully.
James Corden finds himself to be hilarious. I get the impression his American celeb guests think he's a British national treasure. I think he's an arse.

I dislike the mums of 2 of DD's friends. I'm stuck with them as DD is at the age where I need their goodwill to keep friendship going. The one is relentlessly negative with a victim complex and moans without a gap for hours at a time always ending every sentence with , "It's like..."

Grin I have a lot of those people! Everyone can't like everyone, the world would be a boring place! I frigging hate Kylie Minogue, no idea why.

He wrote Gavin and Stacey from whence your username hails.

I agree he is a toady though

Gloria Hunniford - I feel bad about this but I just find her really annoying.

EverySongbirdSays · 24/04/2016 17:08

Also you sense CFV is a bully

Was being charged with lamping a toilet attendant not a massive clue? Grin

Chloe Madeley, Brooklyn Beckham et al.
Talentless celebrity offspring given opportunities that 'normal' folk train and study for years to do, and still never get the chance. I loathe nepotism.

I used to have a list of these as long as your arm. Now I've stopped watching TV (except for programs which I've specifically decided to watch, rather than just saying "oh what's on next" and letting the box feed me shite) it is thankfully no longer being added to. (This has probably launched me onto some people's hate lists just for being a crunchy no-TV person, haha)

Anthea Turner (throwback to the 80s!)
Davina McCall
Chris Evans
Chris Moyles (not really irrational though, he always comes across as an arrogant twat)
Sian Lloyd, UNTIL she was on an episode of The Apprentice and showed the idiots up, and I decided that now she's okay Grin
Claudia Winkelman's eye makeup always irritates the shit out of me, but I feel guilty about disliking her for something so shallow when her work as a film critic has actually been pretty good
Eamon Holmes, the smug closet case
Nicholas Cage - there's just something about his face that makes me want to hurl

GhettoFabulous · 24/04/2016 17:18

One of the managers at work. The weird thing is, no one seems to like him and everybody agrees that he's a bit thick with a massive chip on his shoulder. So why does he get promoted and put on all the interesting projects? I think he's got blackmail material on the director.

Every time he stride past me when I'm at my desk I should "Prick!" inside my head. He hates me too because I stood up to him when I just started. I'm burning with the fire of a thousand suns just thinking about it.

MetallicBeige · 24/04/2016 17:18

Beatrice and Eugenie. Just seeing pictures of them gives me the rage, what are they even for?!

flippinada · 24/04/2016 17:24

Ghetto I have one of those at my work too. Not half as clever as he thinks he is. The only reason I didn't include them is because it's meant to be irrational dislike Wink.

My reasons for disliking this particular individual are eminently reasonable and sensible... and I know I'm not the only one!

Applejack29 · 24/04/2016 17:26

Carol fucking vorderman

She's the worst.

Oh, and stephen mulhern. I hate them both.

flippinada · 24/04/2016 17:27

In fact I'm wondering if we work in the same office....

RhombusRiley · 24/04/2016 17:29

I like Claudia W as a person/presenter but I just get irritated by her style rut. Even though I think she has every right to stay in her comfort zone if she wants to, I can't help thinking "don't you ever fancy trying a different lippy?" Blush

I saw a pic of her without make-up once and she looked fab.

EverySongbirdSays · 24/04/2016 17:33

I have an Aunt who is often a bit of a bitch to me but is hilarious if drawn on the subject of Beatrice and Eugenie.

I did feel a bit sorry for them regarding the Royal Wedding, but with all the money in the word why those outfits? It was SCARY how they in those outfits looked like the Ugly Sisters in the cartoon Cinderella

Lovecat · 24/04/2016 17:41

Oh, and Lisa Scott-Lee from Steps. The moment I set eyes on her on Going Live I thought she was a pushy little bitch, always wanting to be the centre of attention.

She may well be lovely, but she makes me want to punch her repeatedly.

SunsetBeetch · 24/04/2016 17:59

I took a strong dislike to a woman at the gym I used to go to because she had a high, whispery voice.

Mind you, at the same gym another woman took a dislike to me. I could feel the hospitality coming off her!

Morgani97 · 24/04/2016 18:39

I can't stand Diane Oxberry (bbc north west weather) who dresses her lol it hurts my eyes when she's on the screen.

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 24/04/2016 19:00

Hospitable shithead.

Crabbitface · 24/04/2016 19:49

Yon newish cbeebies presenter Cat Sandion. No reason except I took agin her when I got the feeling she was usurping lovely Kerri.

Defo Katherine Jenkins with her big white teeth.

But apart from them I'm trying to be all zen and give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I am defo one of those people though - some of best mates have told me that they couldn't stand me the first time they met me. I'm a grower!!!

PirateSmile · 24/04/2016 19:52

I love the word 'agin.' Well done Crabbitface

gingerboy1912 · 24/04/2016 20:01

Kym Marsh. Another awful woman, but one with a very high opinion of herself. Hard faced, narcissitic and ruthless, and ive thought so since she was on Popstars all those years ago and hid all existence of her children, even going so far as to hide their photos and toys when the cameras came to film her house. Did she really think it wouldn't come out? Silly cow.
