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?

Yes, I have a colleague who is very popular but I have never liked him. He always has the loudest voice and goes on, and on, and on. If there are 20 of us having lunch in the canteen, you can bet your life he will be the only booming voice you hear over everyone elses, and the whole room suddenly revolves around him and his shit chat. He never has anything interesting to say, it is always trivial nonsense that jolts from one irrelevant subject to the other (his favourite subject seems to be the fucking Kardashians Hmm. I am not a mean person and I have tried to give him a chance, but he has a habit of talking over people and that pisses me off, big time.

And breathe...

Lorraine Kelly. I don't know anyone who has a good word to say about her or even a 'she's ok'. It's a passionate hatred of the woman. Oh god, and when there's a cooking item she goes 'oooooh yum yum yum yum yum yum yum'. Boils my fucking piss. I only put her on to give me the rage enough for housework.

And my ex NDN. A grandma. Who screeches and gossips and screeches. Her voice would carry through the house. Unfortunately I've moved and haven't had a chance to make any claims about my new neighbours, they all seem very naice.

Yes to Tim Peake, obviously clever, but seems very smug and not that pleasant.
People who turn every conversation around to be about them . All the time. Every time. Grrrr. ( most people i know actually) ..
People with perfect hair, mine only looks half decent after the hairdresser has been at it for an hour!

Glad to hear I'm not alone in my dolphin aversion. I think my mistrust stems from the fact that they are portrayed as these lovely, lovely, friendly creatures. There must be some arseholes amongst them they are all miniature sharks in fancy dress

There is a woman at my gym class. If asked why my face looks like a punched lemon drizzle around her she's probably say it's because she's fit and pretty. It's really because every fucking week without fail she cuts the line to get pole position in the studio. I fantasize the weight will flatten her.

Yes to Nicole sherzinger and her yoghurt adverts.

I've never hit it off with one of my sil. I'm not sure why but she gets on my last nerve. I've tried to like her and get on with her but it's just not going to happen. She is always perfectly polite to me in front of our in laws but when it's just us she ignores me.

I also have had several over the years.

One person at work. Who everyone else seems to like and think is marvellous. I think she's a pain in the arse and doesn't Know Her Place. She can irritate me by walking into the changing rooms, by just breathing really. No rational reason at all except she's far too intense about everything, but that's not really rational.

I suspect I am that person for a few other people at work, I just ignore them unless I have to work with them and then I am civility and helpfulness personified and watch them squirm.

Woman on school run who parks on double yellow lines every single day, in the same spot. What's even more annoying is the if she moved one cars length, she would actually be in a parking bay, that is always empty anyway. She sits there as if she is ever so clever, smoking her head off, waiting for half past when she sends her child in, doesn't even get out the car.

Then she goes to the next school, parks her car next to her equally annoying friend and they sit, Windows wound down, talking and laughing very very loudly until they have to take their younger DC into school. They walk into the school yard arm in arm with each other, still laughing like hyenas.

They both drive like hooligans as well, bombing along the car park, slamming brakes on, don't give way to anyone.

Would love to report miss yellow line parking to someone.

Cheryl Tweedy-Cole-Fernandez-Versini-whateverhernamisnow. Awful, awful woman. Tone deaf and talentless, and only succesful because the Middle aged men who run the media decided they fancy her. I think underneath the glossy hair extensions and porecelain veneers, she's actually a nasty piece of work. Why has the fact she once beat up a toilet attendant been brushed under the carpet? Oh yes, because she is pretty and men fancy her . Urghh.

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.

My MIL. We try to get along and we try to be considerate of each other but she just makes my blood boil. Such a different personality to mine. Different priorities and values as well.

There's a group of women living around my area who I kind of know due to having a common acquaintance. I really strongly dislike them, I don't even know them that well but they just have this smug, rich trustafarian attitude to them. I actively avoid them now and am thankful that not one of them will be putting their child to state school, less chance of having to ever interact with them again.

Tim Lovejoy. I'm sure he's perfectly lovely but he has a look of a sweaty nightclub sleaze circa 1992. I can almost smell the stale vodka and coke on his breath when he's on TV.

Before I start, I know I'm a terrible person.

I started a course recently and took an immediate dislike to a group of other women on it, purely because they reminded me of the queen bee bitchy lot back at school a decade and a half ago. Some of them were second-years, so already knew each other, compounding my instinctive incrowd hatred. They all wear perfect makeup, straighten their hair, wear skinny trousers and fashionable jackets, carry all their textbooks in a goddamn giant handbag in the crook of their elbow... GRRR.

6 months on, I've chatted to them all lots and they're all lovely Blush

YY to Katharine Jenkins, Nicholas Cage and Phil Tuffnell. It's Phil T's jolly chap persona that makes me so irritated, just grow up and stop needing to perform.

Years ago they was a person in the year above me at school who I barely knew who took a dislike to me although I'd hardly ever even spoken to him. He was the friend of a friend, it still makes me wonder what it was that I'd done to annoy him. 40 years later I sometimes see him comment on this mutual friends FB page and then avoid commenting myself. I suspect this mutual friend must have told him something about me that for some reason annoyed him. Weird.

The sister of someone i know. I have met her twice and have been within arms reach of her probably for 40 minutes of my life? I have never taken against anyone in this way but I absolutely cannot stand her, I feel as if my hair is vertical whenever I'm around her. I hope I never see her again, tbh mainly because it is so weird feeling like this. There is no rationality about it but the only opinions i have heard her express have been opposite from mine, however I felt this way before I heard her speak so I think it is just animal. Not sure if she feels the same as I clammed up and didn't speak on the two occasions we met. In a book it would turn out that I actually fancy her Confused I don't know how that works.
