More often than not, what keeps us tuning into a TV show week after week, or in one lengthy binge, are the characters.

Indeed, who wasn't filled with joy to get that iconic side-eye from Fleabag, being serenaded by Friends' Phoebe Buffay, or wish that Grey's Anatomy's Meredith Grey come to their rescue one day?

Not all characters are so innately loveable, however.

Indeed, sometimes we watch a show in spite of the presence of certain characters, and that's only if they aren't so unbearably annoying that watching their show seems an unbearable chore.

And we're not talking about villains or antagonists here.

Indeed, these are the main, sometimes title characters, who are often the biggest liability of their respective series.

Redditor booksrmylife was eager to hear which television characters had people to immediately turn off their screens, leading them to ask:
"Who is the most annoying character in the history of television?"

Some shows have writing strong enough to make you overlook characters who border on insufferable.

Other times, one can't help but scratch their heads at the popularity of certain shows with their utterly repelling main characters.

Seriously, did anyone find Rachel Berry remotely likable?

Macaulay Culkin Shares Heartbreaking Tribute To 'Mama' Catherine O'Hara After Her Death At 71

After learning that Catherine O'Hara tragically passed away at the age of 71, Macaulay Culkin may have said best what we've all been feeling since: that we thought we had more time.

Arguably one of Macaulay Culkin's biggest roles in his career was that of the young Kevin McCallister in Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York alongside his on-screen mom, Catherine O'Hara, playing the part of Kate McCallister, who would do anything to reunite with her son... both times.

Postal Worker Suspended After Calling Out USPS For Dangerous Working Conditions During Snowstorm

This past week, large portions of the Northeast were buried under two to three feet of snow, forcing businesses to close, schools to shut down, and mail service to slow—except, according to one Ohio postal worker, at his facility.

Jason Thompson, a Cincinnati mail carrier with more than two decades on the job, says he was suspended without pay after he raised safety concerns about working conditions during a historic winter storm that slammed the region January 24–25. The storm affected 24 states and more than 200 million people, bringing dangerous cold and record snowfall to the Cincinnati area.
