Often in films they portray the death of people. Characters in the narrative that bite the dust. Well, often it's a nerve-racking experience, and not nice.
However, on the odd occasion there is some pillock in the film that gets bumped off, and is a real relief. Either the character is a bad-guy or just resonates a scumbag's personality. Sometimes he might just be some cocky bastard, or a selfish prick, or a conniving bitch.
At which point, you may find yourself during the course of the film, wishing for their demise. There are plenty of examples, and not just in horror films. Some characters are just pains, uncomfortable to watch and loathsome to bear.
So, please highlight characters you have wished death upon, presuming they may get it. Simply because they are an unlikeable presence on screen. And also illustrate exactly how they are dispatched, if at all.
Please use spoilers if your example will spoil a film for others.
-- Two examples from me:
Die Hard
Lord of War

Die Hard
The big bloke in Die Hard - Was a perpetual nuisance with an annoying accent, I kinda guessed he'd be defeated no matter how macho he appeared. Bit the dust after being hung from a chain, surviving and then getting shot.
Lord of War
Lord of War - Ian Holm's arms-dealing arsehole, who constantly has a sinister look on his face. He might have been a straight guy, but held an aura of sheer scumbagness, wished him misery. Is shot in the head by another nutjob seizing Cage's character's arm to half the deed.
