How can etiquette help me work with someone I don't like?

Not liking someone in the workplace is more common than you might imagine. We create a lot of enemies in the workplace, and there are people that just don't have personalities that are conducive with the rest of the office. There's always one or two, just as there's always one or two family members at a family reunion that can upset the apple cart, and that's unfortunate. My etiquette to help me work with people I don't like is that I just show compassion to everyone without trying to be their friend. You can do it on the edge of rapport, and still smile and nod and say "Good morning", without having to be engaged in a conversation with someone you don't like in the office.
