Who is someone you inexplicably can't stand?

Omackeral · 2017-05-08 20:19:41

Is there anyone out there that you just don't like and you just can't explain it? Someone who you just can't stand but they've never really done anything to make you feel that way. For example, I have an irrational dislike of Emma Watson. I've never really seen any of her films or interviews but if I look something up and…

Described by a colleague "a very slightly prettier Alison Spittle".

It was not a compliment! :D:D

OK, also not inexplicable: explanation is very simple, he looks so smug I want to punch him. But definitely weirdly disproportionate. And fictional, to boot. (Unless I just want to punch the actor generally, not specifically this "portrayal".)

To wit: the guy with the jug -- jug, I ask you! -- of Avonmore "Heart Active" -- on the weather sponsorship segments.

How any single individual can look quite so self-satisfied, just from pouring a quasi-dairy product into his beverage...

I can only assume it took the sustained efforts of some top casting people.

Let's be honest, when you start digging even a little, most of these noms are very, very explicable, one way or another!

I the spirit of outreach, I'll admit to agreeing with you on Klass. It's that Mail/Express lowbrow take on what they imagine to be "highbrow". With a generous dash of cheesy cheesecake. (Yes, I know cheesy cheesecake is a tautology. Merited here, all the same.)

Some of them are explicable with reference to the person being complained about.

Others, in terms of the person doing the complaining...

Lineker's name pops up here quite a bit.

LOVE Can't Cope, Won't Cope but christ Preissner is highly irritating. Serious chip on her shoulder due to being a former "large" girl.

Can't say I've seen the programme but I have seen her on Brendan O'Connor's programme and she regularly writes in the Sunday Indo. She's very annoying. I like the Cork accent but her's goes through my head. Not really inexplicable I suppose.

I never got that chip-and she was fairly grand to talk to on twitter...but maybe there's overexposure now, and all this 'she's such a hero'...well, not really?
Her show is coming to an end, she's 31 now, and she doesn't conform to the 'blame the patriarchy' tripe LON and co peddle-she likes makeup, likes wearing dresses, likes modelling and so on. She doesn't stick with feminism, she's more egalitarian tbh.

She's making a podcast now, with her friend-and there are just too many podcasts now. Especially in Ireland. Just stahp.

He was at Heuston Station going to Portlaoise for Electric Picnic and acting all billy big bollocks.

Utter ****.

Barry Keoghan-and he irritates the absolute hell out of me. Ya just know he's gonna mess up big time. Every time the Irish media hype up some guy or gal as 'the next big thing' they mess up.

He's attached to a pilot of Y the Last Man-I hope he doesn't get it. The comic book is a classic, and he's all wrong for the role.

Another one who is a bit obscure but annoys me is Ray Walsh. Think he's the editor for TV now. He generally hypes up shows that go downhill very quickly. I dunno, his choices of tv shows are poor, to say the least.
There was another guy who used to write tv reviews for TV now, and he was really, really accurate in his critiques. Walsh I just don't gel with.
Probably a nice guy, but this one little thing annoys me about him.

That's him - I was looking past him to see my mate to see if he wanted a scoop and he goes "do you want a selfie ?" FFS. Gave me great joy to go "of who ?"

:pac::pac::pac::pac:

That's hilarious. I suppose it was nice of him to offer a selfie, in comparison to the other 'don't even look at me, you'll steal my soul' type of celeb.
But that is a bit self important for my liking.
