i thought i clearly stated in my question to be polite.

what if the person is your boss or something, you can't possibly be rude to them despite the fact you want to get rid of them or tell them to stay away for a while?

Elf, You can say it once, asking them nicely to not pry into your life
Second time you can be a bit more straight and be smug
third is what i resort too, a slap on their face or just demanding them to get the hell out
the last which is my forte and rock standing motto
IGNORE THEM FOR GOOD

Do exactly what people do to me sometimes. I can tell when somebody dislikes me because they won't call me back.
There is no easy answer to this one. You can definitely tell them what irritates you the most. I don't have a problem with this anymore. I finally started letting people know when they have wronged me. I just tell the person in a quiet calm voice without getting angry. I don't curse them or give dirty looks but I tell them what's on my mind.
Oh if it is your boss, this is even better. Let them know you will go to weight watchers with them. This is good if they are overweight. Confide in them so as to let the boss know that you think a certain someone doesn't like them because they were called a name. Make sure this is true. My boss was already guilty of gossip on everyone there, not to mention rude also. This boss was nosing around in every body's personal affairs. You can also tell the boss what the name was, (if they want to know). I had a boss that annoyed me and I tried my best to let that person know in a round about way exactly how everybody saw this person. It was so easy once I started repeating everything that was said and they appreciated me for it. Nobody got fired but the boss.

There is no polite way to express hate, unless you scroll down to the suggestions.
However, there are polite ways to make changes in your environment.
If you hate being with a person, just don't be with them!
You'll feel your hate going away once the source of it disappears.
Now, if you WANT to express hate to someone but don't want to get caught at it, there a levels of deviousness you could employ, and here are a couple of suggetions:
1. SMILE when you tell them you just can't stand the way they smell
2. SMILE when you tell them that in your opinion, nothing they could do would make a positive difference.
In other words, to put a polite veneer on a poisonous expression, just smile when you deliver it.
Just remember this caveat: 'There is an equal and opposite reaction to every force in this Universe'.

Is it necessary to tell them you hate them? I have had people disappear from my life without having to say anything impolite. An honest reason, while it may not be received well is probably a more socially acceptable way to get your point across. Do you need to be around this person in the future? If not, loan them some money. That's a very easy way to have them avoid you.

Ok, well now we're getting somewhere, Elf. Tell your boss that you know what the description of your job entails and that if you need assistance, that you'll call them for it. Just smile at your boss and tell him/her that you know they hired you because you knew what you were doing. Don't tell them you hate them unless you have another (better) job lined up.
I know bosses can be jerks. Don't let this one get under your skin. If you like this job (alot) then maybe you should try and be on friendly terms with your boss until one of you gets a better job offer elsewhere.

This is what I have done. Hi, we need to discuss something, just to clear the air. I think that sometimes people just need to agree to disagree about certain things and move on. We are never going to see eye to eye on ( what ever........) this doesn't mean that your wrong or I'm wrong, we just don't agree about it. I know that we will not be best friends but I think that for the sake of ourselves and those with whom we work we should be courteous and professional, agreed? If they act like a tit, ignore them and go over their heads if they keep it up.

Tell that person politely indirectly so that he understands well. Be careful to be very polite and stress your view as well why you hate him

Hm.. That's tough.. Depends on the situation in which you must say it. I really don't know, but I just had to say this question made me laugh. =]
