Or do other people have THAT PERSON as well?

[EverySongbirdSays]

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?

For as long as I can remember, my irrational dislikes have been Michaela Strachan, Gloria Estefan and (topically) lisa stansfield.

They are probably lovely people. Especially Michaela, lovely happy bouncy Michaela.

But i just cant.

I have an irrational dislike of people who dress inappropriately for an occasion (wearing flip flops to a wedding, or hiking boots to a funeral, for instance).

I also cannot stand self-obsessed people like the one Pants describes.

15 pages and no-one seems to have mentioned Kirsty Allplop?!

Ha ha, most people in the world manage to annoy me on a regular basis, but I can't help loving Kirsty

Even when she tried to sell the idea of spending hours and £££ to make a homemade Christmas bauble for an 'inexpensive gift' I just thought 'Aw Kirsty, you lemon', in an affectionate way

Maybe I just love any 'celeb' with a bigger bum than me...

czerny Or tracksuits and trainers to court. Why would anyone think this would enhance their image in the eyes of the judges?

God yes! A woman in my cancer support group! Really grinds my gears
I do know why... it's because she is such a whinger and I HATE whingers... we are all going through chemo and trying to support each other as positively as poss... we all have hit the bottom at times but our lovely FB support group rallies and brings us back into balance... but there is one woman who we have now decided just loves to whinge... on and on and on in the most 'Greta Garbo' style!
Her post: 'Another night of 'relentless nausea....😩'...
Me: 'Are you vomiting non stop? If so you need to go to A&E... '
'Well, no, I haven't actually been sick'
Me: 'So basically you just feel a bit nauseous?'
Her: 'Yes'
Me: 'Oh Greta, get off the stage, no oscars on offer here!!!'
(OK, so I did not actually say the last line... but I wanted to!)
To make matters worse, she constantly asks for advice with her dramas then completely ignores all advice.

And hijacks every post trumping that person's issue with her own every time!
Then says 'but I should'nt complain'
(NO, you bloody shouldn't, you are bringing us all down you needy self absorbed hypochondriac!)

Like I said... drives us all nuts, even though we know we should be more compassionate... kinda lost it after a year of this woman's attention seeking.

dizzy
I saw Mick Jagger in the bar of the Dorchester, circa 1989.
Mobile phones were still new-ish and even Slebs only one of them.
He was sitting at the Bar, which was fairly gloomy / low lighting, and seemed to be waiting for someone - he looked irritated.
He was ostentatiously 'chatting' on his mobile, gesticulating. Look at me super-cool Celeb, but also glaring at anyone who stared at him.
Then his phone rang, mid 'chat'. He jumped and went purple. He had been pretending to be on a 'busy call' to hide the fact that he, the Great MJ, was actually having to wait for someone, in public.
I snorted.
He heard me and looked around to see a chubby secretary dressed in a suit from Next laughing at him.

Twas very funny

Susannah whatsherface from Good Morning Britain!!!
ARGH!!! Can't STAND her... no idea why!

Sorry to sound like a wet sap. But this thread is my worst nightmare. It's really unfair when I occasionally come across a mum in the playground or a colleague at work (and there always seems to be just that one person) who takes a great deal of joy in knowing that no matter how hard you try or how nice you are, or how popular you are with everyone else, they simply just won't like you.
I'm a grown up, I'm not supposed to care, but it's always irritating.
I'm not perfect I'm not claiming to be, but it's definitely a form of bullying depending on how it affects the person you are transferring this unjustified dislike for.
That's the thing about bullying, some people take it on the chin and dust it off, but some people (who know they've done nothing wrong) begin to question themselves, it can be extremely harmful to someone's self esteem.

Miranda whatshername comedian - Most annoying

Kate Winslet - I should like her as she is a good actress but she is smug, a luvvie, fake, try hard.

James 'no talent' Corden

Harry Styles which is crazy as I'm old enough to be his mum, but he loves himself. Twat

Mum in another year at school. I have never spoken to this woman and we probably never will speak but she has such a hard, sour face exaggerated by the tightest ponytail ever that does her no favours. She walks around with her nose in the air and never smiles. I think what irritates me is that (I think) she thinks she's the bees knees but she's actually really unattractive. This is awful and shallow of me I know and I don't feel this way about anyone else but I can't help it. I think I may actually stare when I see her.

It is not bullying to not like someone how ridiculous. It would be bullying if you treated them badly consistently because you didnt like them. But not liking someone is not bullying.

OMG it has to be the utterly useless to humanity Beckhams and ALL of them. Under talented gong chasing waste of space the lot of them, that pubescent boy a photographer for Burberry ousting those who actually do have the eye and can use a camera and models to the best advantage.... That frankly unattractive coat hanger masquerading as a woman, mother, stylist, designer... Give me strength and then we finish with David, how bad does he want to be Sir David? Is there anything between his ears? Is he the best we as a nation can offer?

Mine is Rod Stewart just looking at him makes me boak.
I would rather go through childbirth again than listen to one of his records.
In fact the only thing worse than Rod Stewart is a Rod Stewart impersonator or a Rod Stewart song (sung by someone else) on one of those hideous compilation things you get played over the tannoy in shops, lifts etc.

I know there have been a few mentions of Cheryl, but what about that awful guy she was married to for about 15 minutes? Jean Bernard Versleazy?

There is something about him that just screams slick, arrogant sleazeball, and the fact that no one pulled her aside for a quiet word before she got hitched to him, really makes me question the wisdom of her entourage.

And now he pops up all the time on celeb pages, radiating smugness when he is clearly a TOTAL PRAT!

A therapist would have a field day with us... did you know that 'irrational' dislikes are often of people who have the same flaws that you do or someone who competes with you for social standing? (But none of us can bear to contemplate that... our egos would implode;)

It is not bullying to not like someone hmm how ridiculous. It would be bullying if you treated them badly consistently because you didnt like them. But not liking someone is not bullying.

This. Christ. There are DOZENS of people who have disliked me on sight, DOZENS of people who dislike me after meeting me, and and many, many more who actively loathe me. I'm alright with that, because you can't like everyone, and nor should you try to. Treating someone with basic respect and liking them are two different things. In most cases, I don't like these people either, so nothing lost there

The 'bullying' inference here is invalid.

Amanda Holden - look at me, look at me, LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEE!

SqueezedMiddleMummy... 'No matter how nice you are, or how popular you are, some people just don't like you' ? Hmm.
So you are already really nice and really popular?
Where is the problem?

Erm... firstly, have you heard of the saying:
'You can please some of the peoplesome of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time'?
Well get a big framed version of it and save it as your screensaver.

Think your problem may be more in your own head.

Secondly, the only people whose opinion counts should be people you love.. not some playground mum for whom you are just not their cup of tea. Her opinion means nothing, she does not know you. Guess what, you probably don't like her either. Works both ways.

Self esteem lessons for you young lady!
Learn to love yourself properly (for who you are, not how many friends you have) and playground politics should be water off a duck's back.

Mine is Ruby Wax. I have to switch off as soon as I see her on tv. She is so full of herself and has that ridiculous grin all the time!!!

Duffy, Diana Vickers, and Ellie Goulding. Hope that doesn't make me sound too much of a serial killer.

Oh yes, Amanda Holden and 'Brand Beckham' very irritating.

No celebs but there is a mother at school who I have taken a massive dislike just because I once parked too close to her so she couldn't get out, and politely asked me to move, which I did.

Grounds for her to dislike me? Maybe, no idea whether she does or not. But I have really taken against her simply because she witnessed my bad driving and so now (in my head) we are enemies forever.

How funny :)

MsHoolie

just thinking of all the personality traits I share with MJ and our similar social standing

Oh god yesyesyes to:
The beckhams (who actually gives a toss about them?) that awful, plain clothes label she does, his thick, squeaky voice, the constant toting around of their very average looking kids...I could go on
Cheryl the talentless Simon Cowell arse lick -bemoaning the fact he fired her unceremoniously from Americas got talent and what a dreadful friend, how she'd never forgive him blahblah then immediately returned to Xfactor or whatever it was as soon as he clicked his fingers. What a fame-whore.
James 'fat belly' cordon - who on fucking earth gave him a job in America? Fat, smug bastard. (I loved the spat with Patrick Stewart a few years back - pat was so unfazed and exposed him for the nasty little prick he is)
Chris Evans - literally cannot watch that loudmouth narcissistic ginger minger in his horrific clinging-onto-his-youth slogan tees and biker jackets. Oh, and the way he brought his kid on to his dreadful throwback programme with his scripted/I'm so cute questions...eurgh
Phil schofield/holly willougby and their faker than fake friendship (no, I love Yooouuu more!)
Also bialystock I agree about Caroline Quentin, she somehow manages to make that Cornwall programme all about her and her jolly, fake laugh - my dh hates her even more so it can't just be us!!
Also Robbie Williams - but that needs no explanation surely?

(Now breathe, Salford, breathe)
