AIBU?

Or do other people have THAT PERSON as well?

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?

Ronan and Sharon Keating currently. That thread in Sleb Twaddle confirmed everything I needed to know about why he gives me the rage.

Otherwise, a mum at school who always parks like an utter twat and doesn't seem to give a damn about her kids unless there's a crowd to play to.

I know people have felt this way about me. Some of them have complained about me to my Mum. Yes, I'm a grown adult.
Having said that, Dh has a friend I cannot stand. I should be more sympathetic for him I suppose, but he's selfish, sucks the joy out of the room and expects everyone else to deal with the consequences of his actions.
I also can't stand Russel Howard. He is actually quite funny a lot of the time, but there's just something about him that makes me clench my fists.

I have legions of them.

There are a few for me, too.

One school run mum who seems to look through me at any given opportunity. She probably gets the same vibe off me, too.

Steve Bagshaw. I felt the same about Steve Irwin as I do about him. His only reprieve was when he was on Strictly (which I don't even watch!!).

I am sure he is a very nice person Blush

I have a list of people I'd like to shoot. Victoria Beckham, Tony Blair, Cherie Blair, the Kardashians, anyone from TOWIE or similar...that is not the full list!!! Obviously I wouldn't shoot anyone and don't have access to weapons!! don't report me, I'm quite nice really

Yes. Both famous and IRL. Everyone does. Just like everyone has THAT drawer in their home.

Yes. I have a couple of these.
One is a relative. She's really nice enough but she has a sort of forced jollity that drives me bonkers. Everything she says is delivered with the manner of a punchline, a sort of silent exclamation mark and has to be sort of one liner
So turning up at her house means

Me 'hello'
Relative 'oh I knew it would be you'
Me 'how are you'
Relative 'not so bad considering'
Me 'considering what?'
Relative 'haha, that would be telling. ' did you want something to eat? I made cakes, they're lush, mom nom nom '

It's like being trapped in a lift with whatsit from hi-Dee-hi.

Zayn Malik or whatever his name is, from one direction. I don't know why, but I hate him and think of him as a total bastard. If his song is played on the radio, I turn it off.

Some people in real life too. There's one mum in my nct group who fancies herself as the alpha. Perfect parenting, perfectly dressed little doll baby, every fucking photo she endlessly shows is styled and she turns every conversation round to her favourite subject: herself! Actually, that's a pretty good reason to dislike someone, isn't it?

A lady at work who whines and moans about EVERYTHING.

Honestly, I think she'd complain if someone came to her and gave her a million pounds!

She's actually a nice person but just so negative all the time.

Friend's ex's new gf. It's nothing to do with loyalty to my friend...the split was mutual and amicable and the gf came along after. I just don't like her. She's not nasty in any way, but she's young and totally self absorbed and for some reason feels the need to make a beeline for me when she sees me, to tell me all about her deepest most innermost personal problems...while I'm in Lidl trying to buy dinner and have kids in tow. I don't ask, she just tells me. Very selfy. Cba.

Threads like this always say clearly 'irrational dislike', then fill up with people listing all the rational reasons they have for disliking people.

True Morris. I did exactly that.

There is a woman at school who I didn't like. Never even spoke to her but just disliked her immensely. She wore a jacket the same colour as diarrhoea and I always kind of blamed that.

I'm that person for just about everybody I meet!

There is one person who I really dislike, she's so smug and bitches about people behind their back. Her daughter is just as bad, really priggish and full of herself.

Nicholas Cage. Ugh. I can't watch any film that he's in. Just the sight of his face makes my skin crawl, let alone the sound of his voice. No idea if he is a nice person/good actor or whatever, just can't bear him.

Also another woman who I didn't like. Something about her manner made her seem arrogant or superior somehow but nothing I could figure out really. I spoke to her a few times and she was perfectly OK.
Then there was an incident which revealed her to be a vicious, spiteful, vindictive total fuck nugget.
I took some pride that my twat-dar was properly calibrated.

Theres a woman on the school run. My brain has decided, for whatever reason, that she doesn't suit the car she drives. Therefore I hate her and her car. It doesn't help that she parks like a selfish bastard.

I have never had any interaction with her. She could be lovely.

I have lots.

CherylC tops my list. One minute madly in love and whirlwind marriage, next minute left him, hooked up with young lad tweeting pathetic stuff on the day her exFIL died when she was so say, bereft. Nasty piece of work.

Lulu. Don't get me started. Immoveable face and duck lips, baseball caps at age late sixties, and lapsing into fake indecipherable Scottish accent when someone talks about Glasgow.

A NDN of mine. She's eaten and drunk at my house more times than I can remember. Our DCs are same age, we go back a long way. One of her DCs was in and out my house multiple times. She is part of a social group so I can't exclude her when I have people round. I want to I've been in her house once in 18 years. Selfish woman.

That's better

Meant to say, CherylC, tweeting stuff on the year anniversary of her exFIL's death.

Sally Fields. Perfectly competent actress, and I'm sure she's a perfectly pleasant woman. I bloody hate her - I've hated her for probably 30 years or so now.

Also the mother of someone in DS2's class 10 years ago. When I met her I said "Hi, I'm DS2's mum. X said you teach swimming (let's say it was swimming)?" and she said "No. I teach swimming skills" and walked off. I've hated her ever since even though I still see a fair bit of her and she's actually fine.

All the squeaky voiced girl actresses on the Disney Channel. Particularly the one in Descendents and her cringy version of Genie in a Bottle. Urgh.
