Watched a few things recently where I've realised I just cannot stand some of the main characters in them.
Particularly with horror/suspense films and kids where they seem to exist to do nothing but imperil the other characters. All too often i find myself sat there just thinking the kid needs a slap.
I can't tell if it's just poor writing or a deliberate plot route.

Any films/shows/characters that stand out for you?

Ross in friends and Ted in how I met your mother are 2 main characters that are just awful people.

The girl in the war of the worlds. I prayed that she would just get disintegrated.
