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

Shallan in stormlight archives.

It's just too much, all the time. So many stupid decisions that create collasal problems for the entire world for no reason. She keeps almost getting better, then getting worse.

Also she's supposed to be super witty but most of the jokes and quips are really... not.

Also Q from star trek. Not a book, but I just really get so annoyed by him I can't enjoy any of his episodes

Shallan is one of the worst characters I've encountered in fiction. I just don't think Sanderson has the chops to make that type of character work, because "Wit" is an eyeroll-factory, too.
