What is it about certain people’s faces..

... that totally rubs you up the wrong way. I mean, they might be a perfectly lovely person, but there’s something about their face that makes you want to punch them.

Take Keira Knightly for example.

I appreciate she is beautiful, that’s not the issue, it’s just something about her face that I find so irritating.

Perez Hilton. Very annoying face.

There’s a few more that I can’t recall right now but AIBU?

Yes to the PP who said Martin Shkreli. Though I don't so much want to punch his face as smash it into the wall, odious little creep.

RedForShort · 15/02/2019 14:00

Actually I'm going to have to retract my claim I dislike people with certain David Cameron type facial features. It's more they are on the back foot with me from the get go. I automatically feel they are dishonest!!

Don't know why. (Not David Cameron related; I had this preconception before he was on my register. He's not helped matters mind.)

Calloway · 15/02/2019 14:05

Martin Shkreli is one of the scummiest characters of the last two decades. And that's a crowded fucking field.

ContinuityError · 15/02/2019 14:08

The Germans have a word for it too - backpfeifengesicht - a face in need of a punch.

Surprised no-one has mentioned Chris Grayling yet. Every time he cocks something up he just smirks and his smugness increases by another notch.

Limensoda · 15/02/2019 14:11

I think in all honesty most people feel this way about certain faces. Perhaps it's a primitive instinct that was once useful in survival.
There are a few people I feel that reaction to, Holly Willoughby for one.
Laura Kuenssberg is another, but I know it's not them....it's me. Grin

Laniakea · 15/02/2019 14:12

Gove, Holden, Schofield, Dr Christian Fuckface - there are loads of other intensely irritating people but those four are perfectly slappable. Just thinking about them makes my fingers itch.

Limensoda · 15/02/2019 14:14

Definitely Paul McCartney and Jack Whitehall

SilverySurfer · 15/02/2019 14:26

Cesar Millan the so called dog trainer. I totally disapprove of some of his methods and there's something about his face - I have to turn over when he appears on the TV.

Corbyn's face is totally unwatchable - even more so when he opens his mouth.

I can't watch Antiques Roadshow any more thanks to Fiona Bruce.

The woman on the toothbrush ad - I doubt they could have found anyone to do it who looked more gormless.

Totally agree re Rafa Nadal, I think there's something really weird about him. So pleased Murray has retired, didn't enjoy watching him drag himself around the court.

BooksAreMyOnlyFriends · 15/02/2019 14:36

Tim Lovejoy. He has a sleazy sort of look. I wouldn't eat anythong he had touched or leered over. His beard is stupid but at least it covers half his face.

Paul Hollywood. I'd love to pummel him like a lump of dough.

CoatTails · 15/02/2019 14:37

How has no one mentioned Lily James?
She annoys the hell out of me, for absolutely NO REASON. I don’t want to punch her though. I just grimace.

OneStepMoreFun · 15/02/2019 14:40

The one that upsets me is Noel Fielding. Everything I've ever heard about that man suggests he is one of the nicest people in show business, and yet that face winds me up. I find him very creepy (nothing to do with the make up etc, it's the bone structure.)

Same with Tracey Thorn from Everything but the Girl. Her face makes me feel as though she's just had a very long passive aggressive whine about how everything in her miserable life is my fault. I even looked her up the other day to see if I'd got over the prejudice but her face annoyed me as much as it did years ago.

Same with Gina McKee.

Just realised they all have floppy dark hair, big chins and long faces. Doesnt explain it though.

DarlingNikita · 15/02/2019 14:45

LOADS of these wind me up.

Jimmy Carr
Michael Gove
Liam Fox
David Davis
(the order of which of those three wind me up the most changes on a sometimes daily basis)
Bill Nighy Looks sort of dead, like a slab.
Cillian Murphy. Like a creepy old-fashioned doll/ventriloquist's dummy.
David Mitchell (comedian not Cloud Atlas man)

I can't think of any more, it's too annoying.

DoingMyBest2010 · 15/02/2019 14:51

James Arthur.
Joe from XFactor some years back
Someone at my work
My neighbour

OneStepMoreFun · 15/02/2019 14:55

Oh, another I have to switch off is Lucy Worsely with her simpering, fey, 'Look at me, I'm dressing up'.

Never wanted to punch any of them, though.

Gorse · 15/02/2019 15:00

Little Owen Jones get's my goat something awful, sneary little snub nosed know all. John Torode, I had to close my eyes every time he loaded his gob, it just seemed so graphic (past tense - no licence, no TV, yay! Free to read Mumsnet all night)
Diane Abbott - off to the rendering plant with her.

Leave Naga Munchetti and Lewis Hamilton alone!

LakieLady · 15/02/2019 15:13

250+ posts and no-one else wants to claque Nick Knowles and Michael McIntyre into a parallel universe?

Just me and DP then.

Claqueing's too good for Jacob Rees Mogg, nothing short of a stake through the heart will do for him.

AlexaAmbidextra · 15/02/2019 15:57

Kate Moss - another one who thinks she pisses lavender water

😂 That actually made me burst out laughing. The poor sleeping cat’s now giving me the side-eye. I may retain that for future use if you don’t mind.

JaneJeffer · 15/02/2019 16:21

Andrew Maxwell said that Jacob Rees Mogg looks like a Victorian child's nightmare which is an apt description.

DarlingNikita · 15/02/2019 16:26

Jacob Rees Mogg looks like a Victorian child's nightmare Grin

RedForShort · 15/02/2019 16:26

Jacob Rees Mogg looks so similar to Walter the Softy that the Beano have asked him to stop copy the look (or something along those lines!!)

What is it about certain people’s faces..
Deadringer · 15/02/2019 17:20

Jimmy Nesbitt

AlexaAmbidextra · 15/02/2019 17:22

I’m in awe and wonder that Jacob Rees-Mogg has managed to find someone to shag at least six times.
