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?

Very bad judge of character from faces here;the people may be lovely, but I struggle to like Jacob Grease-Smug, and most of the rest I haven't heard enough about to like or hate.

I do worry a lot that people think this about me, if I'm honest. I'm sure my face is perfectly normal but sometimes your see people's eyes sort of slide away from your face and it gives me The Fear™️ that I have a slappable face...

The Barcleys ad girl was playing squash with Kevin Bacon the other day.

I tend not to get this, but there is something about Jacob Rees mogg. The sight of him irritates me. I think it's because he reminds me of an old boss who was an arsehole.

I loathe Matthew Wright, AND his fucking fizzog.

But one thing that winds me up about him is that he used to be so rude and nasty about parents (or 'breeders' as he called them,) and now HE is one. Hypocritical fuck! Hmm

Let's hope the baby looks like its mother.

And yes to Helen Skelton. Annoying face, annoying person. Every time she is interviewed - EVERY TIME - she talks about how much she has travelled. BOOOOOOOOOORING. Hmm

Also can't stand Laura Kuensberg's face. Always has a spiteful, dark look.

Eamon Holmes! Yuk. Punching above his weight with Ruth too.

Rochelle Humes. ARGH! She is an awful presenter, and her face makes me irrationally cross!

Ferne McCann. WTF has she done to her mouth? Collagen overload!!!

Ellie Goulding. Same as Ferne. Collagen overload. Looks bizarre!

Ditto Charlotte Crosby. Weird botoxy look/collagen overload in mouth!

Diane Abbott.

Jamie Oliver. Gives me the rage for so many reasons, but his face is one!

My dad used to talk about people having 'a very punchable face' too. I more recently went on a training course where we had a session on identifying people's emotions from their expression, and I realised he was talking about people who looked contemptuous. This was the one expression almost none of the (all women) attendees could recognise.

Lucy-Jo Hudson
Kelly Brooke
Adam Sandler
Philip Schofield
Cheryl Tweedy

Andie McDowell!! Aaargh.

I used to feel that way about Keira Knightley too but I saw her in Selfridges shoe department once being so utterly lovely to the young sales girl about them not having her size I had to change my mind.

Hippopotas · 14/02/2019 21:54

Lewis Hamilton and Kay Burley

Both always look smug and arrogant

Bluntness100 · 14/02/2019 21:55

I think you might have missed the also out of your sentence!

Well yes, they have that in common too 🤣

Hippopotas · 14/02/2019 21:57

Oh I forgot Christiano Ronaldo (greasy slimy looking git)

Wincarnis · 14/02/2019 21:59

We used to call this an “SOS” face - Slap on Sight.

I agree with all of the faces mentioned previously, and would like to add the shouty bald bloke off Masterchuff, and Kate Moss.

Sean Dooley
Jamie Vardy
Naga Munchetty
Holly Willoughby

MmaMakutsi · 14/02/2019 22:00

How could we have got this far and NOT had Greg Wallace! What a turkey that bloke is!

Kate Moss - another one who thinks she pisses lavender water. Grin

6utter6ean · 14/02/2019 22:02

David Walliams
Dianne Abbot
Fiona Bruce (cannot stand her eyebrows).

How can anyone NOT have mentioned Alexander Armstrong? Surely the ultimate in punchability!

StoneofDestiny · 14/02/2019 22:05

Michael O'Leary
Alan Carr
Amanda Holden
The Windsor Family, specifically Philip, Edward, Andrew, Fergie, Princess Michael of Kent - all very slap worthy
Edwina Currie
Bozo Johnson, David Cameron
Rees Smug

StoneofDestiny · 14/02/2019 22:06

Oh - Diane Abbott - embarrassingly slappable
