Are there people out there whose looks bug you?

Not that they are ugly, or that there is anything wrong with them as people; just that something about the way they look gets on your wick in a way that you can't quite explain.

There was a young man in the Canadian town I lived in just before I moved to the UK, who looked similar to a friend of mine. But while I always found the appearance of my friend to be congenial, I couldn't stand seeing this poor guy in town.

There are celebrities that bug me as well, though.

Anna Paquin (whom I just saw in Alias Grace)
Glenn Close
Michelle Williams

Glenn Close has always bugged me, but the other two are more recent entries.

Completely irrational and ridiculous, I know. And I am sure that my appearance bugs a few.

But what about you? Anyone irrationally bug you based on their appearance, but with whom there is actually nothing wrong?

Tom Hanks. Can't stand his face, so don't watch his films. His voice too annoys me especially when he does unnecessary accents (badly).

Bloke down the end of my office. Little ratty narrow whiney ballbag face. Not really irrational though, cos he's an irritating twonk.

Usually people with odd mouths - that antiques bloke, talks with his bottom lip exposing his lower teeth all the time and his teeth are so manky. Can't look at him. (I'll get his name in a minute!)(Eric Knowles)

Micheal Fassbender, he really has got at least 2 peoples worth of teeth. Once you notice it's impossible not to be fascinated and you soon lose the plot of any film he's in.

MR Tumble is a dick out of character

My daughter was watching an episode where a girl with Downs Syndrome was taking orders in a cafe and the kitchen staff were all disabled. Mr Tumble (sorry, Justin) went to great lengths not to touch or eat anything.

Bit obvious, but I've always hated this boat race and anybody to do with the Nik Nak coloured twonk:

In fact his whole family can just get stuffed, they look like second rate bond villains or strippers pretending to be classy

Yeah, 'cause I'm alone in doing that.

I work my arse off in real life, and have shedloads to think about. The fact that I can come on here and smile, and at the same time generate a not-very-serious discussion about one of my random thoughts, is a bit of a relief.

I'm sorry if you think it's shite, but there are other threads to visit instead of mine. 😐

Well most of these responses seem be about "people I don't like" rather than "looks I don't like".

The only looks I don't like are where folks have decided to adorn themselves in various ways - botox, piercings, that sort of stuff.

I'd struggle to think of someone who bugs me purely on looks. I'm sure it's happened but I'd struggle to name anybody,famous or otherwise. One you start taking personality or mannerisms into it, well that's a whole different ball game.

As for this thread being "pleasant", ok, it may have the potential to go a bit awry but it was Saxon Rider who started it and that would never be his intention. Probably one of the nicest, most genuine people on here. He does post some shite, mind but what the hell, the shite you post, Mr SR, keeps me and loads of others on here entertained.

The omnipresent trout pout is a look I detest, especially if it’s accompanied by a grown adult using Snapchat filters that make them wear a hat or something equally banal.

If we're going to broaden the definition of 'look' - I cannot stand shiny suits for men, but worse is shoes with long toes. Who the F thought that was a good design theme? FFS! It looks bloody ridiculous. And then the shops are now mostly full of said long shoes, which makes shopping a nightmare.

Adrian Chile's doesn't really ha e a look though. He's just dull as ****.

Never got the whole Glenn close thing in fatal attraction.

You'd have to be married to rose west or some such munter to find yourself being seduced by Glenn close.

Can't condone racism or violence and I dont know if he still sports it, but will.i.am's side-parted Afro never failed to gennerate an irrational urge to 're-balance' it with something sharp and heavy...like an axe!

It is a shame that a sad thread about using appearances to make judgements about people is still running whilst the joke threads set up to take the piss have been closed. I don't know why.
I don't expect nor want this thread closed, just disappointed that the light hearted ones were not allowed to run.

The only people who’s appearance [i]really[/i] gets to me, and also happen to be thoroughly reprehensible and induce an entirely rational desire to punch them repeatedly in the face are Piers Morgan, Donald Trump and Kim Il Jong.

Ripped trousers as a fashion thing on young women - I have to resist the urge to give them 50 pence for a hot cup of tea - "hope you aren't homeless for long, love".

@5plusn8

Have to agree that the other threads were rather good.

But, I don't think that anyone's making judgements about people based on their appearance.

It's all about bizarre and irrational subjective aesthetic annoyances.

In fact, the reference to denim skirts makes me re-examine my own beliefs concerning gender based stereotypes.

It was drummed into us from an early age that the chix of this world would have the upper hand when it comes to fashion/ style.

Obviously not!

Makes mental note not to be seen by bikebuoy in cycling slogan t-shirts...

Ultra skinny trousers that don't reach the ankles on men and expose excess sock.

Having the physique of a modestly fit hippo may influence my judgement.

Those stones washed denim boot cut jeans that're normally worn by men with chunky thighs and a woman's arse. A pair of Converse All Stars completes the look.

Google are going to have a field day with peeking into my search history after this, it’s ok it’s fairly tame but the picture I’m about to post is [i]similar[/i] to the image of the girls I saw last summer (natch) except... the dresses were almost non existent and see through, yea.. so you could see thier pants.. and the shoes they wore were crane like heels about 5” stiletto types.. the place was Regents Canal near Camden Lock and at first I thought it a photo shoot.. Due to the nature of the see thoroughness my inner Victor Meldrew kicked in in my head and I wanted to shout “put some bloody clothes on” but the crowd of lads following them was 20 deep and they would never of heard anything I shouted..
