Characters that are meant to be likeable but would be insufferable in real life

Sometimes there are movie characters that have a LOT of flaws. In the end they have learned something and make one or two good desicions that are against their type and that makes them the hero. I like flawed heroes better than the perfect ones and they work really well in movies. But would we like them in real life? For example: Roy O'Bannon in Shanghai Noon/Knights is a jerk with a heart of gold in the movies. In real life I wouldn't be able to cope with him. He's a narcissist, a thief and a compulsive liar. I think I'd hate him very much. Star Lord is a sad character who has a bit of development but falls back to his old ways very often. Who would you hate in real life even if you like him on screen?
