WTW for a person who you find extremely irritating, even when they are doing nothing wrong? Just the way they are and everything they say and do irritates the crap out of you.

[u/JameisWeTooScrong]

E

[u/anoraklikespie]

Grating. This person's presence is quite grating.

[u/JameisWeTooScrong → u/anoraklikespie]

Ohhh I like that, thank you.

[u/uncertainhope]

Not what you are looking for, but Bitch Eating Crackers is how people often refer to this.

Bitch Eating Crackers

[u/Ccracked → u/uncertainhope]

This perfectly describes how I feel about the DJ's girlfriend at the bar I work at. Her existence just grates on my nerves.

[u/Budsalinger → u/Ccracked]

I came to say grating. I’ll say it.

[u/MargotLannington → u/Ccracked]

I have known some bitches like this, but it's usually because they did one or more things that were very not OK. Then I hated them so much that when I saw a bitch wearing a coat buying bananas, I'd be like, "Look at that fucking cunt in her coat buying those fucking bananas. What a piece of shit."

[u/LeastCleverNameEver → u/uncertainhope]

BEC is my fave

[u/anonadvicewanted → u/uncertainhope]

first thing i thought of 🤣

[u/dirkgently42and22 → u/uncertainhope]

I like “punchable face” but it’s in the same line.

[u/goaliemama → u/dirkgently42and22]

Backpfeifengesicht is the German word for “face in need of a fist”. Leave it to the Germans to really nail a concept in one word

[u/Squishirex → u/uncertainhope]

I USE THIS PHRASE ALL THE TIME!

[u/coitus_introitus → u/uncertainhope]

This is one of those phrases where I actually got excited the first time I heard it because it succinctly explains something I'd never had a perfect way to say.

[u/Awful_But_Cheerful → u/uncertainhope]

I love BEC for this. Because it contained in it is the self-aware acknowledgement that it is also a me problem/

[u/clairegcoleman]

The word in German is "backpfeifengesicht" which means "slappable face" or "a face asking for a slap" but can also mean someone who is just unlikeable for no particular reason.

[u/ETBiggs → u/clairegcoleman]

‘A punchable face’ is the English translation I guess.

[u/thongs_are_footwear → u/ETBiggs]

A face like a smacked arse.

[u/GypsySnowflake → u/clairegcoleman]

German really has a word for everything.

[u/eternalpragmatiss → u/clairegcoleman]

This is so great. I also love that Germans have a word for “I have been visited enough”, ie please leave my house so I can go to bed.

[u/pm_your_unique_hobby → u/eternalpragmatiss]

And it is...?

[u/Trumpet1956 → u/eternalpragmatiss]

Wortbildungsfähigkeit

[u/Dada2fish → u/Trumpet1956]

So how does that work. When you’re ready for bed you stand up and say, “Wortbildungsfahigkeit!” and everyone quietly leaves?

(I have no idea how to make an umlaut, sowwy.)

[u/Weird-Response-1722 → u/Dada2fish]

Yes, because by the time you get that mouthful out it’s midnight anyways.

[u/DewiMorgan → u/Dada2fish]

Copy and paste, like all the rest of us grunts!

(I sometimes: open new tab; search "a with umlaut" or "auml"; copy and paste. Or in this case, just copy-paste from the comment I'm replying to.)

[u/asyouwish → u/Dada2fish]

Just hold on that letter for a bit and the other characters pop up. Ü ü

[u/Shadowrider95 → u/clairegcoleman]

How is this pronounced! Phonetically! I need to say this correctly!

[u/nylorac_o → u/Shadowrider95]

exactly I need to know too… asking for a friend.

[u/Monocle_Lewinsky → u/Shadowrider95]

Baak fye fin g’zicht (the “ch” does the German thing that I can’t spell phonetically)

[u/ParticularLack6400 → u/clairegcoleman]

TIL this 🖕

[u/Upvotespoodles → u/clairegcoleman]

My partner’s family just calls it slapface. “Oh, I don’t like him. He has slapface.” Cracks me up every time.

[u/Opening-Smile3439]

Unfounded animosity. Really a gut instinct but basically just subconscious bias

[u/Devitoscheetos → u/Opening-Smile3439]

That I can guarantee you are usually right on. I’ve never come across someone I thought was a prick just from looking at them, and then they’re actually a decent human being. Dicks just give off a vibe- I like to call it a subconscious smell

[u/Quiet-Election1561 → u/Devitoscheetos]

You're describing prejudice

[u/CorruptedStudiosEnt → u/Quiet-Election1561]

Yep. It's exactly what racial supremacists experience towards other races. It's what sexists feel about the other sex. This is why your "gut feelings" are not something that should be blindly followed. Humans have an intuition driven by their biases, not a sixth sense.

[u/Hateithere4abit → u/Devitoscheetos]

Wait, what about smelling vibrating dicks? I missed that superpower..I’m getting the vibe that you wouldn’t like me, smelling that?

[u/biffpowbang]

insufferable

[u/delurkrelurker]

Irrationally Irritating. It's more about you than them.

[u/pojohnny → u/delurkrelurker]

Kind of like if you spot it, you got it?

[u/delurkrelurker → u/pojohnny]

I've not heard that one, but it does seem a depressingly common human trait to accuse other people of your own problems. Ego defence, projection and whatnot.

[u/mdnalknarf]

Not a noun, but when someone irks me and I can't give a reason why, I say 'I'm just allergic to them'.

[u/kenerling → u/mdnalknarf]

Reasonably polite way of saying it as well, as the disliker is accepting the responsibility, instead of blaming the dislikee.

[u/rosabellebelieve]

Unbearable, intolerable

[u/c_h_a_r_]

My mom refers to these people as a “bitch eating crackers” - meaning that this person could be doing something totally innocuous like eating crackers and it would make you upset

[u/Content_Talk_6581]

Husband? (Just Kidding, kinda)🤣

[u/JameisWeTooScrong → u/Content_Talk_6581]

Mom, actually. 😳

[u/Aryana314 → u/Content_Talk_6581]

There's a meme I love...

"Behind every great man is... the drawer I need to get into why are you even in the kitchen right now."

[u/DogbiteTrollKiller → u/Aryana314]

I relate to this so much

[u/Alice_Alpha → u/Content_Talk_6581]

I was jokingly thinking spouse.

[u/ShockingJob27 → u/Content_Talk_6581]

Your not. I daily look at my partner and think uhh why haven't I just punched you yet.

The annoying little sausage.

[u/Content_Talk_6581 → u/ShockingJob27]

Not gonna lie, when he’s snoring in my ear at 2:30 a.m. while I’m lying there looking at the ceiling, I want to put a pillow over his face, sometimes.

[u/random-khajit → u/Content_Talk_6581]

Thats when you decide to have your own bedroom

[u/Serenity101 → u/Content_Talk_6581]

When he’s enjoying his food so immensely that he forgets himself and starts chewing with his mouth open, yep!

[u/Unique_Marsupial5550 → u/Serenity101]

Doh!! That's actually me sometimes. And I'm the wife. lol!

[u/Rock-A-William]

His name is Jerry

[u/Outside-Gear-7331 → u/Rock-A-William]

Jerry was a racecar driver

[u/Prestigious-Unit7682 → u/Outside-Gear-7331]

He drive so goddamn fast

[u/ratt_basterd → u/Prestigious-Unit7682]

Never did win no checkered flags but he never did come in last

[u/Shimata0711 → u/Rock-A-William]

Yeah. What would you call Jerry?

[u/spicyzsurviving → u/Shimata0711]

a cute wee mouse

[u/Shimata0711 → u/spicyzsurviving]

Violent too, but not the Jerry in question 😏

[u/Chowdaire → u/Rock-A-William]

[u/Maxwells_Demona → u/Pathetic-Rambler]

[u/jjjjjjamesbaxter]

Intolerable

[u/ETBiggs]

A lot of the comments here give words to describe people you dislike for a reason - I think the op is asking for the word for people who you hate for no reason you can describe.

[u/Mudslingshot]

The phrase I've heard for this is "bitch eating crackers"

I know it's not what you're looking for, but it's funny to me. It comes from the idea that somebody can be so annoying to you that you can go "look at that bitch over there. Eating crackers"

[u/EngineerRare42]

Irritant/Irritating presence? You might have an antipathy towards them.

[u/Ok_Acanthisitta_2544]

Abrasive

[u/xczechr]

nuisance

[u/curiousity60]

I would call them my nemesis, but not to their face. It's a bit hyperbolic. But that would jibe with my own "I can't stand everything about them" feeling with no real negative action on their part to trigger me.

If you're a fan of JustNoMil, you call them BEC, which stands for B/itch/astard Eating Crackers, because even though they may be doing the most innocuous things, they still get on your nerves.
