Any characters in books you've read that just annoyed the hell out of you for seemingly no reason? (literature.cafe)

It was a cheesy Hannukah romance book but the main character in the book "The Matzah Ball" made so mad at times that I just know I was annoyed at her but to this day I have no idea why exactly. Her vibes were just yucky I guess

The protagonist of Catcher in the Rye is so self-absorbed, I did not like him at all. On the other hand, that’s part of the message of the book.

I also really dislike Snape in Harry Potter, and his background did not help on liking him better. ::spoiler spoiler If a girl is not interested, get over it! Don’t linger on it for the following two to three decades! That’s creepy ::

I have a love hate with the catcher in the rye mainly because like you said, thats part of the message of the book. On one hand I love that is so perfectly captures teen angst. On the other hand, being an adult and after working with teenagers like him I just see the kids I've worked with and the frustration and sadness I've had before with them lmao
