Every time I see James Corden a red mist descends for no reason. In fact even the sound of his voice sets me off.

I feel similarly about Ed Sheeran and Tom Hanks.

I can't include Boris in this as there are definite reasons there!

Does anyone do this to you?

I have no idea why and accept it's irrational but just the sight of them gives me the hump.

Alex Scott, Cerys Matthews, Laura Kuenssberg.
This list could go on but limiting myself to three.

My husband's sister in law. She's genuinely the only person who's name I can just hear and it makes me mad

How can anyone hate Tom Hanks or Olivia Colman?? They're both amazing!

I have a passionate hatred for Maxine Peake. She's not mainstream or that famous I suppose, but as someone who goes to the theatre a lot I keep seeing her pop up (especially in every Manchester Royal Exchange production ever) and I just can't bear her. My theatre friend always laughs because I really really can't stand her but can't articulate why, just that I HATE HER FACE and HER VOICE and ALL HER ACTING aargh.

Scott Mills (radio 1/2 DJ)
I just don’t find him funny at all.
His segments are crap.
Cannot stand him.

MincePieIceCream · 17/12/2021 18:14

Elton John. I actually quite like some of his songs, but his face and speaking voice and whole demeanour makes me feel angry. I have no idea why.

Anne Hathaway always gave me the rage for no reason but then I saw her on Graham Norton and she was a dick so now there is a reason

@whereshalligo
Cerys Matthews!! I hate her singing voice and her face but like when she talks on the radio for some reason.
