Irrational dislikes on sight

Are there any famous or well known people you just dislike for no rational reason ?
Nigel Farage is one for me
Simon Cowell another. Never met either of them and probably never will but even before I knew what they were known for,something made me dislike them.

Justin Fletcher aka Mr.Tumble there is just something about him I find really unsettling

Me too, GrannyGravy!

A lot of use of the word ‘arrogant’. How can you tell if someone’s arrogant without talking to them?

Vanessa Feltz. Can’t stand the woman - far too wordy, arrogant and very insincere. She never says one word when 10 words will do. And RUDE - cuts people off very abruptly when they’re speaking. I have to switch off when she’s on the radio.

That’s a very unfair comment about Joe Biden corisandra that was a horrible comment passed around by Trump to discredit him there was never any proof or anything more than rumour

Nanna8 I'd take Tony Jones over the current host.

I'm not a Princess Di fan either spice101

nanna8 Fri 25-Jun-21 01:02:20

Me too, Spice, though I still felt sorry for her. There is one here called Tony Jones who used to host a program called Q and A and he got right on my tits as they say here. Someone else hosts it now and he is nearly as bad.

Kate Humble, for some reason

BlueBelle Fri 25-Jun-21 00:57:42

Most celebrities ….too many to list probably find far more that irritate me than those I like
I understand that one Spice

Spice101 Fri 25-Jun-21 00:48:38

Cannot explain this one as it is totally irrational and probably uncommon.

Princess Diana

Kylie Minogue - irritating voice
Vanessa Feltz - just plain irritating
Steve Wright - keeps talking over the music
Jeremy Vine - the Hyacinth Bucket of broadcasting.

Gary Lineker, think he is so smug. Can’t stand Naga Munchetty either, she comes across as very arrogant and Charlie Stayt is starting to become as bad as she is.

I’m not straying into political territory, as I think that’s much more about not sharing their values than irrational dislike, so it’s a bit of a cop out to name them (although I do agree about Nigel Farage, he reminds me of a chicken).

James Martin. I have no idea why, there really isn’t any reason but I have to switch him off, he grates on me, even though he has a beautiful spaniel which should predispose me to like him.
I also disliked Paul Daniels, again for no reason I could name.

Can't say I dislike Jeremy Vine just find him hmmirritating? I imagine he could be a bore were you stuck next to him at an event.

Apologies Lucca, it was me that brought in voices. I don't have a television and so contributed on a voice that that I had a dislike of and others picked that up. I'm sorry.

That’s ok. It’s just starting to be a general rant about who we don’t like, not irrational dislike on sight.

Quite a few smug politicians at present.

Grandma70s Thu 24-Jun-21 16:25:51

It’s Meghan Markle’s permanent smile that gets me down - so I suppose my dislike couldn’t be quite ‘on sight’, because I couldn’t have known then that the smile would be permanent.

Isn’t this meant to be “on sight”?. Voices, attitudes etc nothing to do with it !

Lucca Thu 24-Jun-21 16:16:49

Grandma70s

I’ve just thought of a major one - Meghan Markle!

I don’t know who some of the choices on here are.

On sight?? Or now
