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?

My ndn pisses me right off, but she is sooooo lovely, we actually have such a laugh together but she's does my head in.

She's constantly baking, going for power walks with her baby in the sling, complaining she's fat when she's lost all her baby weight and more and mine is still hanging around me.
She's now joined this baby yoga class thing and does yoga positions with her baby in the sling. Seeing that perfectly tones set of legs and great arms, then the smug expression on her face. That was the last straw right there...

Emma Watson. I just don't get her, there's nothing 'bad' about her, but nothing remarkable either. Drives me (irrationally) mad when I hear or read about anyone fawning over her and whatever boring thing she's said/done now.

A friend of my partner - just find them difficult to get on with for no particular reason (get along just fine with the rest). I think they feel the same about me though, which is fair enough, you can't get along with everyone in life.

There was another girlfriend of a friend - didn't like them from the off for no reason at all (seemed nice enough, would join in, pay their way, never moan about plans etc). Just could not get along with this person, almost ended in a falling out with my friend. Then it transpired the gf was a huge liar, didn't end well, so I put that one down to instinct.

Although in fairness the actual op said "no reason..........except their very personality'

So you are allowed a reason really

Pipbin nails it :)

Similarly, when asked if you've ever behaved like an arsehole: 'Yes I was a total arsehole last week to a horrible woman on Facebook who kept sharing racist posts'.

Um, no. Clearly the racist woman is the arsehole, as you have explained.

I know a woman who irrationally dislikes me.

She is always friendly and actually approaches me to chat so I know I haven't done anything to upset her. But ever so often I catch her looking at me and, when looking at me, her resting face says 'oh will you fuck off'
It's just me. Her resting chat face with everyone else is neutral. Me - 'did bitch die'

I have a few. Singer Katherine Jenkins for one. I can't put my finger on what it is about her but she makes my teeth itch.

I also have a vacuous niece who FB posts about her 'perfect' life/car/ husband/ baby/ holiday/nails/hair/friends etc. made all the more annoying when she's never properly worked a day in her life as her father pays for absolutely everything, even though she is married.

YY to Duffy that Coke ad was the final straw.

I have a completely irrational dislike of two primetime tv hosts which has been exacerbated by the fact they now co-host that dancing show. I'm sure they're both lovely in RL but they both irritate the fuck out of me.

Unfortunately, an actual friend of mine at present. She messages me too often and tells me things I'm already well aware of, or lectures me on topics that are areas of knowledge/interest for me, and it's got to the point where I hate what she brings out of me and I don't even want to see her.

And yes I'm probably that person to a lot of people. I've got a huge history of people taking random dislikes to me - less so now that I'm better at censoring down my personality.

Sean Penn, Nicholas Cage, Steven Segal, just their faces pt me right off, and strangely enough John Mills. Great actor, and I enjoyed his movies very much, but just the face put me off. Totally irrational.

Adam Sandler and Owen Wilson, having seen a movie with them in and don't like them. Any movie with the above stars ( exception John Mills), that come on TV get turned off.

Yes. Two girls that have recently joined my gym. 19-20 I reckon, very slim, tanned with gorgeous hair that they swish around. I won't even bother denying that there's some envy especially when they drive off in a brand new Audi but they annoy me in the classes because they do the bare minimum and don't even break a sweat. Why are you heeeere?!?

Jason king or JK - think he was married to Suzanne someone. He's a DJ on Heart and I detest him. Ruins my drive home - if I work past 7 it's a bonus as he's finished!!!

Liza Tarbuck. I don't think she is funny and I bloody hate her on R2. Huge long pauses and 373949584 exhortations to ring in or "Let's go to the phones" because she has bugger all to actually say.

Elaine Page - or 'Hyuk Hyuk' as she's known in this house, because of her laugh. Her R2 show is essentially a couple of hours dedicated to reading out sycophantic and fawning comments from her listeners.

I particularly dislike the little girl lost type of woman.
It's unfair as some of it might be a lack of confidence, but it's that whole I'll make sure I never step out of line or take responsibility for anything in case it goes wrong so nothing can ever be my fault routine.

So wearing, so needy and so dull. Oh you need me to step up again??

I Used to feel that way about Fearne Cotton. It used to wind me up so much that she was always on telly. I just couldn't understand why someone so utterly irritating kept getting hired!

Then I started actually watching her on something and listening to her on the radio, and realised it was actually irrational, and I really like her now. Same with Jamila Jamil.

Never got over it with Nick Grimshaw though. Ugh. At least he seems to be disappearing from most of his jobs now though!
