People who you hate despite the fact they aren't really egregiously bad

[Cerys]

On a forum I lurk on is a "My Artwork" thread where posters share their art. There is one poster on there who has been on it for a couple of years now who seems to only be able to draw a snub nosed ginger haired girl in a green jacket, always facing the same way, always with the same expression.

Over the course of the thread it is obvious how their skill has improved dramatically, but it's always the same picture of a snub nosed ginger haired girl in a green jacket. Sometimes she's holding a futuristic gun, sometimes a book. Same face, same hair, same snub nose. The poster always gets praise for their great art. The one time they tried to draw something other than a snub nosed ginger haired girl in a green jacket it looked bad. That got praise too.

Given that I can't even draw a bath I don't' really have room to criticise someone who can draw something, but even so, fuck that poster. I fucking hate their snub nosed ginger haired girl in a green jacket drawings and I hate them.

She was their first victim; now she still haunts them through their art.

Olivia Colman. I love Peep Show and I've liked her in lots of different things but the professional English luvvie schtick narks me off. Blowing a raspberry in her Oscar speech and being all charming and lovely. We get it, you're posh and English.

Yeah that rubbed me up the wrong way. She knows people think she's adorable and she was definitely playing up. It did not feel like a genuine reaction

That woman from the Oral-B toothpaste advert, with her stupid face.

[Cerys]

But she didn't know Oral-B made toothpaste!

[Cuellar]

As a child we used Oral-B toothpaste, and generic toothbrushes. So it actually came as a surprise to me that Oral-B made something other than toothpaste!

The Reverend Richard Coles inspires irrational anger in me. The fact that he is always "the Reverend" Richard fucking Coles. The fact that he always appears on TV in his fucking vicar's outfit (why?).  That terrible fucking Radio 4 programme he does. The fact that he acted like a complete cunt to everyone when he was a famous popstar, but then became a vicar so it's fine. Seems to be friends  with VL-S on Twitter, whereas I'd expect Vic to loathe him as much as I do.

Reverend Bronski Beat, I call him; imagine how cross he'd be.

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

Yeah, he annoys me. If he was the former opostar and current-day McDonald's worker Richard Coles, he wouldn't go on panel shows in his fucking McDonald's uniform, would he ?

This is a great call.  My cynicism has now reached such a level that I'm prepared to believe he did it to further his media career.  Imagine plain old Richard Coles on the radio and telly in 2019.  Nope.

[Clownbaby]

Oh I defo think he's flaunting the vicar business with the collar to give himself something gimmicky which he can then back up cause technically he is a vicar anyway. He's one of those people who seems to be generally adored and seen as a wholesome treasure, like Mary Berry, except I get it with her.

I really don't like Tom Hiddleston the more I hear from him. He's too nicey nicey,  I don't like it. There's nothing wrong with being nice but it feels like with him he's desperate to come off as nice and unthreatening as possible. I think for a while people confused "good looking and posh" with "convincing actor". That I heart Taylor Swift STUNT was awful as well. Taylor Swift. Oh it would be fuckin Taylor Swift wouldn't it Tom lad. He's just so wet and dull. But I can't comfortably say this to most people because they don't understand how I could dislike someone who is so nice and inoffensive.

[Hey, Punk!]

You know those blokes that knock about every so often? You've seen them. They have hair on the back and side of their heads, but none on the top. Can't stand them, they should stay inside.

Now this I'd never considered, but I'm taking it fully on board. My loathing knows no bounds.

[St_Eddie]

Matt Damon.  I refuse to watch a film if he's in it.  The worst that I can say about him is that he's bland but my dislike for him goes far beyond that.  I don't know why.  Then last year, a bloke in a pub said that I looked like Matt Damon.  Seething I was.  Seething.

The Departed is very confusing. Didnt think I could get Matt Damon and Leo DiCaprio confused. But wow, I can.

Also, Reverend Kate Bottley. There's just nothing there is there? Just CofE-mandated empathy wrapped up in blandness.

[sick as a pike]

Anecdotally (and name-dropperyly), I got pissed with (The Reverend) Richard Coles once and he was lovely- very funny and open. And I like Saturday Live (well, apart from the 'thank you' section. Oh, and the bit that they pretend isn't Desert Island Discs, but just is.)

That was The Talented Mr Ripley.

Now that you mention it....

I can feel the seething rising...

The Flaming Lips.

On further pondering, in the past it has once or twice occurred to me that the real reason I hate them is because everyone else likes them, and those who like them fucking love them, and I just don't get it. I'm probably being a proper miserable piece of shit and they're an explosion of joy and beauty and I should just let The Flaming Lips have it, and let everyone else have The Flaming Lips, and I move on with all the other (better) bands like Ween and Super Furry Animals and I get on with my life.

But I'm not fucking having it. No. I'm the only person who really, truly understands The Flaming Lips, and I've concluded the same thing time and time again: I see them in the same way Mark Corrigan sees the pilled-up lad in his living room. "You're not a bad person, but I'm afraid to say you are a moron."

[Clownbaby]

The Flaming Lips.

Same. Don't see the appeal

[idunnosomename]

Sheila Hancock. Pointless, not funny (maybe not unfunny) luvvie who gets everywhere on her plummy voice.

Pam Ayres is a fucking disaster though and fucking hate her. To think people compared you to Victoria Wood. You unfunny bumpkin.

I heartily dislike them too, I like some seriously "individual" sounding singers but Wayne Coyne's reedy whine makes me seethe.

[king_tubby]

The Flaming Lips.

YAS QUEEN! I've fucking hated them since the first time I heard them in the early 90s with that 'She don't use jelly' song and that other about the fucking zoo, fucking shitlord motherfuckers couldn't hold a candle to the early Mercury Rev that everyone compared them to.

Basic.

[alan nagsworth]

I hate all three of you for ruining my "one thing that no one else does that makes me super unique".

[Hey, Punk!]

Agree 100%, I hate the 'we're all the same deep down' tone of it all. It's why I hate a lot of mainstream stand up. 'We all have pets, don't we? They do things don't they?'.

[Twit 2]

Olivia Colman. I love Peep Show and I've liked her in lots of different things but the professional English luvvie schtick narks me off. Blowing a raspberry in her Oscar speech and being all charming and lovely. We get it, you're posh and English.

I also dislike the false modesty. She had the audacity to say 'I'm just a girl from a little Norfolk village' like she's some bumpkin made good. I suppose saying 'I come from a wealthy background and attended an elite private school' doesn't have the same ring to it.

[earl_sleek]

Tom Daley. There's something off about him, like he's actually being piloted by a tiny alien in his head.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Mm.

And she was very quickly the worst thing about Peep Show.

Yeah, all that "I worked as a cleaner" and "any little girl in her bedroom" stuff and completely excluding being privately educated.

[idunnosomename]

Thing about Colman in Peep Show is originally she was the unachievable love interest. Once she was a real person the character collapsed and was a totally unbelievable shell. But I'd suggest that was Armstrong and Bain's fault rather than Colman.
