Definitions
To have no use for someone or something is American English's politely indirect way of saying you can't stand them. It's the kind of phrase a grandparent might use when they really mean outright contempt but won't stoop to saying so. You have no use for liars, freeloaders, drama, or whoever keeps parking in your spot. It implies the person or thing is so worthless to you they don't even register — not worth anger, just irrelevance.
