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.

Another here who was certainly not a,"shy Di" fan:looked so manipulative (and some of us think turned out to be so)

And Jack Nicholson, for looking literally "diabolical", like the Devil-I think the producer of,"Witches of Eastwick" agreed with that!

Carol Vorderman
Philip Schofield
Piers Morgan
Naga Munchetty
The list of overexposed and overpaid goes on and on…!

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

My grandson was terrified of him when he was a toddler….Mr Tumble that is.

Mariah Carey, Gloria Hunniford, Bono, Sting, Keith Lemmon, Alex Jones and countless more who I shall spend the rest of the day trying to remember ?

Caroline Quintin and Zoe Ball both so insincere!

Piers Morgan and the girl on the surf advert, perfect with surf, her voice is like nails on a chalkboard

I could never understand why anyone liked Jimmy Savile.

Agree about Paddy Mcguinness. He's turning into a joke "Professional Northerner". His fake accent has got heavier and heavier even though he hasn't lived in Bolton for years. Seriously irritating.

Yes! Paddy Mcguinness!
And another who could be accused of the same crime….John Bishop!
?

Carol Vorderman could just eat herself
Danny Dyer thinks he's an Eastend hard nut
Lorraine Kelly too sweet to be wholesome
Liz Hurley continuously showing off her bits ( I'm not jealous either, great figure, but god does she know it)
I could carry on and on....

Face piercings, can’t bear to look at someone however good looking otherwise, if they have a piercing in their nose, lip or eyebrow. Ok with earrings though

Graham Norton, Matt Hancock

Donald Trump. Can’t stand him and hate his voice too.

vissos Fri 25-Jun-21 10:52:26

Tories.
'Animal lovers' who eat animals.
Obvs not 'on sight' but the thread has gone way beyond that.

Stephen Fry. I dislike his face and he seems to keep popping up everywhere!

Jenn53 Fri 25-Jun-21 10:52:57

This thread and posts are all so funny, cheered me up no end!!

My list:

Joanna Lumley - ridiculous affected accent (so irritating)

Nigel Farage (a cartoon character)

Michael Gove - so SMUG (looks like a big baby)

Davina McCall

Jeremy Clarkson - so boring

Trump (those facial movements - yeeuch!!)

Robert Peston - just so irritating with that theatrical way of speaking but I am sure he is nice otherwise

Boris Johnson's silliness and untidiness

Philip Schofield - ugh! (I used to like him when he was on Blue Peter though)

Well, that's my rant for the day!! phew.

Jenn53 Fri 25-Jun-21 10:55:15

Oh, one more:

Piers Morgan - so vile & aggressive

Bazza Fri 25-Jun-21 10:55:50

Sadiq Khan
Piers Morgan
Pritti Patel
Naga Manchetti
Brian someone that talks about night sky

I’m sure there are more but that’s enough to be going on with!

Not being holier than thou but I honestly can’t think of a single soul that I have disliked on sight.
Once the mouth opens however…
Based on voice alone
Fiona Bruce, Stacy Dooley, Paddy McGuiness.
Based on personality and extreme views Katy Hopkins.
For sheer smarminess Chris Packham which is a shame cos he’s very knowledgeable.
Really can’t get my head around disliking on sight. Seems very shallow and reeks of prejudice. Is it colour of hair, shape of face, weight, height? Please explain.

I thought I was the only one but apparently not. I would not have let "Mr Tumble" within a mile of my DGC. I felt the same about him as I always did re Jimmy Saville.

My other all time hate is Cliff Richard.

Paul McCartney

LauraNorder Fri 25-Jun-21 11:01:40

Hate? Strong word

Brigidsdaughter Fri 25-Jun-21 11:01:46

Neil Nunes (his voice sounds so smug)
Bill Nighy - seeing him and his voice

Plenty of rational reasons (is that tautology?) to dislike Farage.

Totally agree there!
