Do you understand the title? Here's a quick lesson to explain it.

This means HATE. It means you dislike something so much that you can't stand there, you just want to leave the room.

You might also hear a small variation which is a bit stronger.
can't stand the sight of X
This means you HATE SEEING something. So it is often used for emphasis to make a statement stronger.
He couldn't be a doctor because he can't stand the sight of blood.

Any questions? Have a nice sunny Thursday!
