There were many ways in which I disliked my sister. A few years ago I could have shown you whole scribbled lists I had written on that very topic.

I hated her for the fact that you can never tell her anything that she doesn't already know. I hated her for the fact that for my whole school career teachers insisted on telling me in hushed tones how bright she was, as if her brilliance wouldn't mean that by default I lived in a permanent shadow.
