Do you have anyone that you cannot stand, but for no reason?

[pantsparty]

Ha ha ha ha...supper.

[walterismydog]

Yes, I do. My reaction to this person is much like yours. I like the past-life explanation.

[Deleted]

yes. i have a colleague like this. everyone likes her. i respect her as a lawyer. but i'd rather chew glass than engage in non-work related conversation with her. also, every time we speak i feel like she's LITERALLY giving me the side eye. she barely looks me in the face. no one else seems to notice this.

[melindafelinda]

Yes. Her genes probably smell weird to you because your ancestors were enemy tribes.

I can't stand lots of people. I blame all of their smelly genes.

[pantsparty]

To answer your question, yes, there are several people I dislike without a solid reason. Actually, I usually start disliking people and they have to win their way into my cold, dead heart.

[Deleted]

I hate everyone. I will hate this girl, too.

[melindafelinda]

Does she talk in a slightly high pitched whisper voice? Anyone like that is the devil and deserves to be hated.

[SKP82]

There are lots of people I don't like for a specific reason. It usually turns out I'm right not to like them.

[meggers5]

A girl at my gym. I've never spoken to her, I just hate the way she looks. And there's nothing wrong with the way she looks, I just hate her.

[wambam]

Yes. And I feel really bad about it because she's actually a sweet person, I just feel very insecure around her.

[kiminky]

Yes, my new office mate (who sits about 5 feet from me), I have known her tangentially for about 10 years. Never particularly liked her. Now it is just me and her in a small office for the better part of 8 hours. Since she was hired I literally dread coming into the office. No particular reason for disliking her, just a feeling.

[melindafelinda]

Also, I was really hoping this was going to be a list of people you hate from here. That would have been awesome.

My cousin, I really like her but she's a loud talker....like embarrassingly loud. She has no volume control, she's THAT person in the restaurant that drowns out everyone else's conversations. You can hear her from across the room and she's very friendly....talks your ears off but she is freaking loud. You find yourself sitting there lost in her conversation because you're more concentrated on just how loud she's being.

[bania]

Yes! DH's best friend's girlfriend. On paper, we should be BFF's. We both love animals, both have dogs and care about the same causes. She's super nice but irritating as fuck. They ended up moving away which sucks for DH but I'm a little relieved I don't have to interact with her any more. I love melindafelinda 's explanation. LOL!

[VeryViolet]

Yes there are a lot of people I feel like this about because I am a bitch. Just for a show of solidarity I don't like this chick either she sounds annoying as fuck.

Yes, and I feel like a terrible person, because the reason I hate her is because she is so damn PERFECT.

I am serious. She is always smiling, well-dressed, and so chipper at any hour. The worst part is that she always compliments me on something and I just stare awkwardly trying to say thank you because I wonder what it's like walking around with shiny hair, perfect teeth, and smelling of cinnamon. Of course she's seen the new movie or read the new book. She bakes all the time for the office. She changes purses to coordinate with her outfits. She's like a real-life Disney princess and I cannot stand her.

She probably steals from old people and kicks puppies.

[mushmouse]

Mostly I have been this person for other people. If I don't like someone there is always a reason. And then they become that bitch eating crackers!

[iamali]

Yes, a close friend of one of my bff's. She seems like such a fake and I truly can't figure out why MY friend likes her. I only see her a few times a year and I'm always nice, I just would rather not interact with her if given the choice.

[iamali]

WHOOPS.

Wrong post.

[pinkplasticdoll]

Yes, there are people at the gym and in circles of friends that are like this. Them existing simply annoys me for no good reason aside from them sharing the planet with me. I have family like this and it is so hard to nod and act polite that I just don't even try anymore, I just avoid family functions or if I happen to go I try to avoid them.

[lime]

I have two.

A who participates in a group interest that I do. I am 99% over this one, but she just seemed a little snotty and smug when I first met her.

B who used to be H's best friend. B and his cunt of a wife went out of their way to crap all over our wedding plans, so H dis-invited him. They gave a non-apology later when they realized it wasn't going to go their way. This was 7 years ago and I should be over it, but I refuse to see them again. If H wants to be friends with B, then that is fine with me.

[mrsgoontz]

I find a lot of people annoying for no particular reason. I do my best to just politely ignore them if I have to be around them; it sucks if you guys do things with just the 4 of you.

I default to hate most of the time.  There have been two in particular who were both gf's of friends.

One is the current gf of an old coworker turned friend.  She SAYS the word "hashtag" is casual conversation.  For example, "I love ice cream!  Hashtag fatgirlinaskinnybody."  And yeah, that's probably a real one because she's a size 0 or so and likes to talk about it a lot.  She's one of the women who doesn't work for it either.  I like to just tell myself that my extra 6 sizes are necessary to support my larger brain.  I also tell myself that once her metabolism slows she's doomed.

Second is the ex of my H's friend.  She was devoid of conversational skills.  She was a runner and would corner me all the time.  "Soooooo, how's the runnnnniiiiing go-iiiing?"  I put one foot in front of the other.  Goes pretty much the same every time...  Add to that the fact that she was a teacher at a daycare for kids with special needs and was definitely used to having to give constant feedback so you couldn't get through a sentence without her doing some sort of "mmhmmm" or "uh-huh" or "oooooh" kind of like she was encouraging you to keep talking.

[pedanticwench]

Anyone? How about everyone, just about.

[rex]

Yes, a lot of people.

[shoeless]

Yes and I feel awful about it. She is very sweet but if feels like such a chore talking to her. This could be because she's so sweet and I am, well, a bitch by comparison!

[polka]

It takes a lot for me to get to the "cannot stand to look at your freaking breathing face" opinion about someone. But when I do, there's always a reason.

I can't think of anyone I just dislike for no reason at all though.

[vanillacourage]

Have you read "The Gift of Fear"?  There is probably some totally legit, deep-seated reason your intuition is telling you to avoid her.

Or, smelly genes.  Could go either way.

[pittsmcgee]

Pretty much everyone. I think it might be me...

Ha. I considered starting one.
