Who is someone you inexplicably can't stand?

Bald men with beards are just wrong, end of story (and I say that as a man rapidly heading towards being hair-free). However they are in the hapenny place compared to bald men with ponytails (I know that's a bit of an oxymoron but you know what I mean). Every time I see a bald guy with a ponytail, I just want to take him aside and have the talk with him that his friends and family should have had. Nothing says sad and delusional like a bald lad with a ponytail.

She just seems to want to shout everyone down who has a different opinion to hers.

Oh my god she is unbelievable. She's such a domineering old trout. She won't let anyone squeeze a sentence out and acts like everyone's a blithering eejit and she just doesn't have time for their nonsense when they are usually perfectly interesting people talking in a normal, concise way.

Very true. What are they thinking? And what about 'man buns'? Honestly though this one is hot. I never thought I'd say it. *fans face*

While I would rather wear a dead cat on my head than a man bun personally, I can get over them on:

People under 25 (as long as they don't pair it with one of those idiotic lumberjack beards)

Women

Soccer players who play with a club that has won a major title within the last 3 years.

Always brings John Waters to mind for me, and a lad that's a member of the same football club as me, who constantly ties and unties his, in case people wouldn't notice it.

Anyone who uses the words abide, oblige and cordial, they do not mean what you think.

Also using leave in place of Let or allow.

Don't think I've ever heard abide used outside of church. Or cordial used outside of a rural pub.

Hm..to me, oblige means..to expect someone to do something, or to feel like it's ones responsibility (to be obliged), abide means to stick with someone or something and cordial means friendly or civil? Have I been wrong all along?

Where I come from, a cordial is a thing that city folk mix with their vodka.

I'd feel obliged to be very cordial with ms. Berry if I came across her.

No you are correct. Many people think oblige means to reply, if someone asks them a question you "oblige them" instead of "answering them". And many people think cordial is something you put in a drink. And some people use abide instead of stand in the sentence I can't stand x.

I wouldn't say I can't stand them but I find Emma Watson and Taylor Swift a bit dislikable for no good reason. I used to be a bit prejudiced against men with beards and bald heads but I've realised how unfair that was.In fact I have a mildly irritating crush type of thing for a man who looks like that. I'm not quite there with the stretched ear piercings with the plugs in them, yet.

I'm prejudiced against Marion Cotillard as well. I think she has a bitchy face but she's probably lovely.

Taylor Swift is presumably the same reason everyone does though, she has such an extensively managed public image. She even seems to choose friends on the basis of how they can endear her to a new niche.
Her unwillingness to say anything remotely political last year despite was doubtlessly down to a fear of losing a fragment of an audience, which would be fine if she didn't routinely associate herself with vague feminist platitudes.

Most Emma Watson hate seems to stem from either finding her a pretty boring person or just rampant intolerance for all the feminism stuff.

I've no clue why you'd hate Marion Cotillard... she's kind of crap in a lot of English language roles?

That was me.

Dictionary definition of abide:

1 a : to bear patiently : tolerate - cannot abide such bigots
b : to endure without yielding : withstand - abide the onrush of the enemy

2 : to wait for : await
I will abide the coming of my lord. — Alfred Tennyson

3 : to accept without objection - will abide your decision

I cannot tolerate/bear Halle Berry patiently.

To be fair, he's Mr. Likeable compared to his rival for the leadership, Mr. Simon Bilderburger Coveney.

The whole Jenner thing was the moment I realised I was getting old - I can't for the life of me understand how people buy into it - I feel like Grandpa Simpson shouting at clouds.

You are, on paper, correct in how you have used the word, most dictionaries include that definition. That use of the word is just wrong to me, hence it's my answer to the inexplicably can't stand thread.

People who post on threads about inexplicable hatred when their hatred is all too explicable.
