For me:

Monkeys and apes: they look too much like humans and expose many terrible traits of humans.
Greyhounds: their thin long body shape look weird to me.

Monkeys are total assholes. They act just like 7 year old children would if they were high on sugar and there were no repercussions for their actions.

I don't understand why some people find monkeys cute. They're so ugly and obnoxious! They don't even have the presence or majesty of great apes either. The further from humans on the evolutionary scale, the cuter primates tend to be IMO. By the time you get to lemurs, bush babies, etc, you've hit standard mammal cuteness.

I'm convinced like 95% of people that say they like monkeys have never interacted with one.
