Irrational dislikes of people you don’t know..

Many many of those already listed, I’m surprised not to see the odious Sadiq Khan (spelling) unless I’ve missed it. It’s quite interesting how many of the same names are disliked.

I can't stand Helen Skelton, she gets on my nerves for some unknown reason.

I can't abide Cat Deeley, she has absolutely ruined my enjoyment watching This Morning, and I detest looking at Angela Rippon, that awful manic gape when she 'smiles' gives me the creeps.

Holier than thou judgers. Whoever they are.

I can add Trump and Musk and Farage to my list.

Anything with Graham Norton in it gets switched off .

Personal abuse is a way of life these days, that’s just one of the reasons I’ve never been interested in local politics, a friend once told me you need a skin as thick as a Rhinoceros, that was 25 yrs ago and it’s much worse now.

I'll ne along to the Harry and Maghan posts to remind people.

I think it's human nature to dislike certain people if they get under your skin, they could be politicians or entertainers, I do think that should be justified as to why rather than saying "I don't like his or her face".

I don't think any of the people I've mentioned relate to an irrational dislike l I've justified all, one is a so called comedian, I dislike him for his crassness and misogyny. Ditto a talk show host with the added element of interrupting guests to talk about himself. The others because they've exposed their children to the media from their earliest days which has subjected their children to an awful lot of scrutiny and ridicule. I think it should also be pointed out that some posts here have expressed a dislike of certain personalities who have since been exposed as absolutely vile, Jimmy Saville for example. I don't have dislikes based on people's looks other than the pumped up unnatural versions of themselves.

I think it is perfectly possible to be a celebrity and still keep your private life private, especially children's lives. It is a trend that some carefully curated snapshots of their best bits appear on a daily basis. Showcasing expensive homes, yachts (not very green) and sending out meaningless, virtuous homilies to whoever, not everyone is going to fawn over that bilge. Go away, enjoy your wealth and keep your children safe so they can have their childhood carefree away from the public eye. It can be done, Off the top of my head, high profile actresses Kate Winstlet, Cate Blanchett, Emily Watson, Olivia Coleman, Sarah Lancashire appear to keep their personal lives out of the public domain when they do appear it will be to promote whatever film they're in, which is often written into their contract. .

I have an irrational dislike of Jimmy Carr and Alan Carr together with Vanessa Feltz.

I will be shot down for also mentioning David Mitchell and Victoria Coren-Mitchell

I think this is a horrible thread, too. That people are happy to defend their irrationality makes me wonder how they make judgements on issues that might be quite serious.

Although excused as “light hearted” I think this thread may be fairly indicative of how some make judgments on superficial, or ill thought out prejudicial grounds. Why do conspiracy theories without foundation spread so rapidly?

I think many of us may be prone to do this before we put our thoughtful analytical brain into gear.

I don't hate the people I mentioned. They put themselves out there and we are entitled to our opinions.

I have a dislike of Graham Norton, but it's not irrational, I know exactly why I dislike him! Though he may be a perfectly lovely person, he looks so like a dreadful sex pest I had the misfortune of being targeted by at work (in the 70s - wouldn't happen now!). It gives me the creeps ever time I see him. Sorry Graham.
Amanda Holden and Victoria Beckham I find hard to like, but the one person I dislike the most is Trump (that's not irrational either, we've all seen enough footage of his despicable personality to see that he's just disgusting).

I don’t see anything wrong with this thread it’s light hearted

You think calling Alan Titchmarsh a snivelling little creep of a man is light hearted?

Tom Cruise. Obnoxious little man who loves himself.

I have nothing against Luke Littler, he's an excellent darts player considering his age and seems nice enough but I can't look at this 17 year old who looks 34, he makes my flesh crawl but I don't know why!

There's something .... off'' about Dawn French, even though she's incredibly brilliant and talented and I think, quite beautiful.

Lorraine Kelly, Chris Packham and Cliff Richard all seem very .... primeval, they make my hair stand on end!

It's nothing personal against any of them but I can't get near them!

I've seen far worse than this thread.

There are quite a few people who post here once, and can't pluck up the courage to do it again for months, due to people taking a dislike to them.

That's far worse, in my book.

I'm pretty sure slebs don't think for one minute that everyone likes them.

Look at the reviews some get!!

Indeed.

I think this is a horrible thread, too. That people are happy to defend their irrationality makes me wonder how they make judgements on issues that might be quite serious.

Have agree with those who mention the sanctimonious Mr Titchmarsh!
What a snivelling litte creep of a man.

I think you should look to your own personality before you criticize someone like Titmarsh, he has made his fortune by being nice to everyone. I understand why some dislike Clarkson, Ramsey, or Trump but your dislike is beyond comprehension.

I took an instant dislike to someone once, couldn’t stand them.

They turned out to be fabulous, kind generous soul and had been my best friend for over 30 years.

KatieW19 Clearly you are as easily manipulated as your mum.

It’s always worth considering that some dislikes of certain people are aggravated by the media using viewers or readers as political tools. We used to wonder why our now deceased mum hated Megan Markle so much, until we discovered her I pad news feed had taken her onto the Daily Mail app. A lot of manipulation of public opinion goes on out there in the internet

I can’t think of his name ( seems to happen a lot these days) but the bloke who used to be in Eastenders and now does that bridge game and lots of SAS things I don’t like him at all and don’t like the way he speaks …. I m sure he wouldn’t like me either

I don’t see anything wrong with this thread it’s light hearted
I m sure these celebs have had a lot worse

Don’t like Sharon Osborne and all her cosmetic work so up herself

Olivia Colman is another ‘luvvie’ who irritates me nowadays.

Probably because of her Oscar acceptance speech years ago.
