What scene did it for you? (not in a good way)

As I was watching this movie I was pretty sure I wasn't going to be raving about it tomorrow. I almost turned it off but decided to finish and was glad I did (for finality/closure if nothing else). But the scene where I finally decided this film wasn't for me, where I threw my hands in the air and said "Come on!" was when 2 of the teenage girl friends killed an alien with an ice skate. As if I had even been startled before, let alone scared, this scene extinguished any threat of feeling the horror-like emotions I was looking for.

Anyone care to share the scene that put "Attack the Block" over the top for you?

I knew I hated the film after the scene where the gang scum break into the girls apartment and threaten and dismiss her threats under the pretense of "Fix this guy's leg!"
Not sure whether the director wanted these street thugs to be likable just because they're "kids" or because they're poor. But I cannot have sympathy for people who mug a girl then barge and threaten her in her apartment as if they are entitled to get help after mugging her. Calling her a snitch? Really? I wish they all were killed by those aliens.
