Pro Tip 1/3
Intensity
The phrase expresses a very strong negative emotion, more than just ordinary dislike or irritation. After weeks of arguing, I hate the sight of my old car.
Pro Tip 2/3
Informal Tone
Use it in casual settings; it's too informal for academic or professional contexts. I'm sick of the sight of my cluttered desk - time for a clean-up!
Pro Tip 3/3
Visual Presence
Often involves something or someone you see regularly, which increases the irritation. She can't bear the sight of those old curtains anymore.
