Irrational dislikes on sight

Helen Skelton, that voice and that accent... Jeremy Clarkson, Nigel Farage and not just for his politics, Jacob Rees-Moggs and not just for his views either, Kate Hoey etc etc etc. These are the ones that get me reaching for the off switch.

not sure I'd describe it as irrational dislike though, rational probably the correct word.

Two who spring to mind are John Bercow and Naga Munchetty.

Oh and I agree about Stacey Dooley’s voice. How on earth did she become a tv presenter?

Nigel Farage, and Michael Gove, both so smug and arrogant.

As the OP asked about 'on sight', I still nominate Ryland Clark-Neal and add Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Alex Jones,Eamonn Holmes and Wife, Lorraine Kelly, Jimmy Carr (tax dodger), Tony and Cherie Blair, James O Brian, Mrs Brown,Miranda Hart and currently my decorator….. long story.

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

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

Naga something on morning tv
A neighbour near me whose voice is like a squeaky door

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

EkwaNimitee, you wouldn't like my accent either. Helen Skelton grew up in my native Cumbria.
I cannot stand Danny Dyer's cockney geezer accent.
Jonathan Ross is a big turn off too.

Oh yes Meghan Markle !
How could I have forgotten her!

Yes.

But I like her "on sight", she is attractive. It's when she opens her mouth (to whinge).

Ant n Dec
David Walliams.

Probably more, but do t want to quietly seethe on such a lovely day

Oh yes Lorraine Kelly. Mine are not dislikes on sight. I just find them annoying.

GrannyGravy, I so agree, we not longer get Cbbc but when DGS used to watch it I always felt uncomfortable with Mr Tumble.
Naga on BBC Breakfast puts my back up, an aquantiance in politics was once interrogated by her live on Breakfast, and she asked 7 questions in about a minute then talked over all of his awnsers.
He complained as things were reported out of context.

Stacey Dooley and Danny Dyer (for their voices), Amanda Holden and Michael Gove (both far too smug), Trump (for obvious reasons!), Gordon Ramsey (abusive and arrogant), Cliff Richard just gives me the creeps and quite unreasonably I just want to punch Farage whenever I see his face!

Robert Peston irritates the hell out of me. He’s probably a really nice man and but when he comes on TV I have to leave the room

On sight?? Or now

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

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.

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.

Quite a few smug politicians at present.

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