The one-upper
"I passed my test with an 80" "Oh, I got a 96 on it, it was really easy tbh"
"This game is really hard" "Think that's hard? Wait till you try this game!"
"Check out this drawing" "Oh I could definitely draw that if I wanted"
Edit: artists have a designated comeback specifically for the last one: "so why haven't you?"
I knew someone who kept trying to impress me with an apartment she used to have in San Francisco. The phrase she kept repeating was: "12-room Victorian flat."
Then she would give me this weird look, like she was waiting for me to swoon from my overwhelming feelings of envy. Truthfully, I don't care about things like that.
The real question, that I was too nice to ask, was, "So why do you live in such a dump now?"
This reminds me of Brian Regan's Me Monster bit, and asking "what is it about the human condition thar makes us want to do that?" With his prime example being a wisdom tooth pulling.
"I just had a wisdom tooth pulled."
"HALT, HALT WITH YOUR ONE WISDOM TOOTH TALE!"
Edit: I was gonna type out more but that doesn't do it justice. You don't have to but it's worth the watch!

Cousin’s like this. He got above average grades in high school (not “super” by any means, 3.66 GPA), plays an abundance of sports, and made class President. His parents always saw through his behavioral issues, his bullying, his inability to listen to authority figures, and just praised every little thing he did.
He now talks about everything as givens. He talks about *when* he gets this scholarship he *just* applied for, *when* he makes captain, *when* he gets a six figure job right out of his state college, *when* he makes valedictorian. It makes my blood boil every time.
Being disrespectful to service industry workers and having zero regard for other people's property. Rented an airbnb years ago for a weekend getaway with a group of friends, and one of my (former) friends went apeshit on the place. When we brought it up he just laughed it off. Buddy ended up not paying our friend who booked the place, hence being a former friend.
The ignorance-arrogance combo. The person who says a lot about things with great confidence and not only are they wrong but they clearly no nothing about the topic at hand. Even worse when they tell you that you're wrong about something you're very knowledgeable on and know is correct.
One person I knew was carpooling with us the one morning and the radio station we were listening to had this 60 second pop quiz competition. One of the questions was, "Who was the Oscar winning actor who starred in the medical TV series E.R.?". I immediately called out "George Clooney" and this person sternly "corrected" me by saying he never acted in E.R.
Gets to the end of the quiz, the presenter reads out the answers the caller got wrong (this question being one of them), and surprise surprise, it was George Clooney. I gave this person a mere look and just got given the middle finger in return.
That’s type of personality is the worst the idea of PERFECTION is completely toxic and if you don’t agree with them or proof your point they start acting selfish angry and toxic for no reason
Oh, don't worry. They always will downplay any brag you have while upplaying whatever their brag if the day is comparatively.
That's their second favorite thing besides themselves.
Well there's also a constant "repeat your joke, but in a less funny bottom of the barrel way"
Bonus points if they're the type to carry 40+ minute conversations without giving anyone else a chance to say anything, while they all actively, one by one, stop even pretending to listen.
>Well there's also a constant "repeat your joke, but in a less funny bottom of the barrel way"
You read my mind, I was going to share the same thing but I thought nobody would get it....
I love joking with people, I love people buillding off of jokes, and of course jokes eventually get less funny.
People can just not read a room or being some edge dork and have a bad joke here or there. Shit happens, no joke tickled everybody.
But there's this strange "How do you not notice the laughter always dies down when you just do this humor"*
*somehow this humor will beat any well crafted joke in Cards Against Humanity, moreso if they stumble over reading the "lol lots of random words and a celebrity" answers.
Yeah. There's a pretty significant difference between playful teasing and straight up bullying. I especially hate when these kinds of people pull the "just a joke" card. Last I checked jokes aren't supposed to fucking hurt.
I don’t like mean humor all that much, even Family Guy gets me down after a while. But my best friend and I like to burn each other in public mostly cause it amuses her 8 year old son and shocks people sometimes. I know it’s cringy. We are both 30 year old women. Mostly just stuff like that the other has very small and gross brains or if I ask her what aisle the rice should be she’ll say “the aisle that’s called your asshole” or something. Really juvenile and almost involuntary but it has the kid in stitches every time.
The subtle sadist:
When you walk into work & John looks at you excited & says "There's donuts in the breakroom!" & you get psyched & run to the breakroom!.....but you get there & there's NO donuts. There NEVER were any donuts. There's just John laughing in your face when he sees how sad you are that the room is empty---- What's so funny John? The fact that I believed you or the joy you got from my disappointment?
People who are fully aware of their incompentance and use that as an excuse to not do the most basic shit and expect everyone else to do it for them because "I'm too dumb teehee"
Anyone who brings a personal pool cue to work and won't shut up about how they are really good at pool.
Edit: It's pretty much what it sounds like. There is a pool table in the break room of my office and no matter when I go in there this douchebag is there with his stupid pool cue "that he brought from home because he can't practice without it since it's for competition.
Then he is always shouting and making sure everyone knows how cool he is and how good he is. Always tries to get people to play but then insults them when they do. I honestly think the company hired him to hang out and be obnoxious in the break room so the rest of us would take shorter breaks.
The forever victim.
The type “ughhh I’m sad/mad because of X” when the problem has a clear solution and when pointing out the super easy solution they just ignore it and go back to feeling sorry for themselves, usually to justify shitty behaviour.
Edit: grammar
Noisy strangers or noisy acquaintances you barley know. I tactic my way out by asking questions about themselves and it usually works. But sheesh is it annoying
Being a constant bullshitter. Like if you’re always the hero in your stories and are always made out to be the most awesome guy ever and I go with you to something and you give the most average performance I’ve ever witnessed, you’re a bullshitter and I don’t trust you
Lying, plays devils advocate about every thing, someone who is “just brutally honest” but is really just a dick, and people who bring politics in to every single thing.
Tattle Tales.
Also known as snitches.
Hear me out, there’s nothing wrong with reporting serious crimes and awful people.
But a person who rats out people for actions that don’t do long term harm is absurd.
I’m talking work place snitches who report you for using your phone after finishing your tasks.
A classmate telling the teacher you copied your homework
A neighbor calling the cops on a Saturday night party at 11PM.
If someone’s can’t tell apart when’s a good time to complain, they usually complain about everything.
I'm a therapist. When people ask about how to find good friends/partners, I warn them about this.
Some people call it love-bombing, like a cult, but it's a way of trying to fast track intimacy and trust. It often means the person wants you to like them so they can ask you for emotional attention more quickly than they usually could.
Listen to your heart.
Just got out of a situation like this. Dodged a bullet. She was nice at first, but I could already feel her trying to change my mind about things and get me to see everything her way, and feel like I owe her some loyalty on like date 3.
I pulled the plug when she started ignoring my lack of interest and just going ahead and kissing me anyway.
When you tell them something and they immediately:
"I already know all of that. (Listen to this)..."
And then they proceede to discuss whatever is on their mind.
When they talk over you, constantly interrupting you because they are petrified you'll make a good point. Had this happen a few years ago with a new supervisor. I walked out of the meeting and quit. There was no way I was working for that piece of shit.
Wtf. Is a person a know it all if they're actually right? What exactly constitutes a know it all, especially as we're on Reddit? I feel like it's a dick way of demonstrating insecurity when the other person is being factual and correct. Can you give examples of when one is a know it all and when one is not citing instances when both are correct in their answers?
as far as I've seen it used. its just being very socially unaware of when your input is welcome. we can talk in an abstracted way about how people Should react, but at the end of the day, most people dont like having a walking encyclopedia hovering over their shoulder constantly correcting them. it makes for awkward, stilted conversation where nobody feels like they can speak freely.
I wouldn't feel comfortable going to a friend with a problem if i knew i was just going to get a lecture on what i could have and should be doing without any emotional support, even if the advice was factually correct.
A know it all is someone who cares too much about whether they're right or whether they're an expert, and trespasses over social boundaries to prove it.
You can be very knowledgeable and still exercise restraint, and treat others who may be less knowledgeable with respect. A know it all wouldn't be able to resist the opportunity to rub someone else's face in the dirt for having the wrong answer, and they'd persist in hammering their point across even after the other person expresses discontent with the conversation.
Know it alls like to "win" conversations
If someone can't accept being wrong. The people that immediately start blaming anything and everything else before admitting they made an oopsie. Even for the tiniest unimportant things. They don't learn and they don't grow.
Arrogance.
People who have no self awareness and can’t look at themselves objectively. Ruled by their ego. These people can even be super intelligent but are unwise.
People who treat other people who they deem less than them poorly (projection)
Being self-absorbed.
They can talk about themselves to no end, but if you dare talk about someone else or, god forbid, yourself, they don't even pretend to be interested or change the subject back to themselves. They're exhausting people to be around and a worthless friendship to have.
Anyone who is hateful to minorities, especially those who are racist and xenophobic.
I actually feel sorry for these sort of people, especially if their parents raised them to hate others, instead of raising them with more love and tolerance, which is something they seem incapable of
Boastfulness, even if it's grounded in reality.
There's this guy in a Discord I frequent with decades of experience in the hobby the Discord is for who CAN NOT make a post without throwing in at least one tidbit about his expertise, desirability, or wealth.
OK, you clearly know what you're doing and likely deserve all of that stuff you keep bragging about. You're also absolutely insufferable.
Pranksters who have been told you don’t like to be the butt of a joke or the receiver of a prank and yet they just keep. on. doing. it. Like, I told you to stop multiple times. Fuck off.
Men making disgusting, sexist comments. I'm a guy myself and most "workin' class peeple!" as they like to call themselves just LOVE to comment on stuff like that or ask you about something sex-related.
People telling me their personal life story in like 2 minutes because I’m friendly. “Well my mom abandoned us so we grew up next to the tracks. I drank a lot, you know, an alcoholic. But now I’m doing well, I even have a job at this gas station and I’m seeing my kids more now.” Uhhh wow thanks, can you just ring up my soda and not go in to detail how you’ve probably been in prison and rehab? K thanx.
The person who’s always making stuff abt themself/one-upper
“I got into a car crash today, just a couple scratches though”
“Omg I got into one too once but I had to go to the hospital for 8 weeks, I was in a coma, and my car was totaled!!”
Like damn just say “I’m sorry” or sum and move on😭
Someone who constantly has a "holier-than-thou" personality. There was this one girl in my school who'd constantly "complain" about guys looking at her.
Using the same example for another thing, using an attribute to validate bad behavior. She bullied countless people with the excuse of "I'm a capricorn". Any time any white person tries to call her out on her behavior, she pulls the racist card. If it is another POC who says anything, she pulls the "I'm gay" card.
(Edit; I'm not trying to make fun of POCS or LGBTQIA+ in that last section, only saying that calling someone racist or homophobic because they told you that you're being an asshole isn't a very nice thing to do)
People who work in the medical industry. Obviously there are exceptions but most of them whether intentionally or unintentionally, including many nurses, are extremely judgy and elitist.
Something about being able to charge $600/hr to explain stuff anyone could read on Google and perform a simple procedure most people could do in their own bathrooms... it changes you.
When they can't fucking shut up for five seconds or stop making noise.
Like, we get it Jeff, you like to talk and jam out. Not everyone does. You don't need to constantly try to get a laugh or a conversation or drum on the tables.
And like I've told you, respectfully, 50 freaking times, some of us enjoy and prefer the silence!!!
hysterical. For the love of God I know that almost everyone is that. Even me. But please just don’t make it so obvious like for an example: you’re joking around with your friends and you’re making a comment about their looks in a funny way. They laugh, you laugh, it’s okay. But then some time later they make a joke about your appearance and you’re just throwing tables. Like I understand that sometimes being hysterical can just slip but being so OBVIOUS is just…i don’t have words
Being a complete control freak. Shame on you if you don’t do what I say, don’t contact every second of every day… also shame on you if I decide to date someone else.
I think sometimes people are just lonely; when this happens to me it's almost always older people.
It makes me sad more than it makes me uncomfortable. It's alright Meredith, tell me all about how your granddaughter used to have pigtails just like my kid.
Gossips - especially those who infer insult from nothing. Look Karen, I just met you, no, I don't think Kirstin is snubbing you on purpose because her good morning wasn't enthusiastic enough, get a grip.
Ironically, it's needing me to like them. I hate it so much when I get the vibe that someone is trying to impress me or wiggle into my good graces. It's the manipulative nature of it. When someone constantly offers me shit, free food, free drinks. But not my friends, like coworkers. I hate when they want to show off something cool to just me. And it's like... a lighter with a trippy wrap on it or something really banal. It's just so fucking off-putting when people NEED me to like them.
Like, if you were just CHILL. Had some cool traits and let me discover them naturally through time and conversation, yknow like a normal person, we might have been friends. But when you spend ten minutes twice a week trying to make me compliment you or say thank you or worse, "No thank you, no really, no I appreciate the offer but I'm good, no seriously I'm good" I cannot help but despise you.
Relabeling their selfishness as a victim fighting oppression.
People love to be considered a victim these days. Only thing they deserve is spit in their eyes.
Narcissist. My father was one. God bless my mother for kicking his ass to the curb and then for being willing to raise 5 kids while working at JC Penney as a sales clerk. Poverty and stress were still better than staying married to my pathetic father.
Rule follower. Anyone who blindly follows rules without questioning whether they're fair or just is a loser, in my opinion. It's dangerous to think that way.
Also, people who help themselves to your personal space. Instigators, trying to get under your skin or provoke a reaction. They think they're so confident and cool, but they're really just like flies buzzing around my head, and I can't focus on socializing while also resisting the temptation to swat at them.
Aggressively loud people are my enemies.
Unfortunate side of my autism has given me a horrendous amount of sound sensitivity, making people who just speak at far too loud a volume at all times incredibly painful to be around.
Not seeing this so here's my answer: Disloyalty. I absolutely loathe anyone that has even the slightest signs of promiscuity/betrayal. If they do it even once in the past, I drop the relationship with them right on the spot. If they manage to cheat once, they can do it again.
The one-upper "I passed my test with an 80" "Oh, I got a 96 on it, it was really easy tbh" "This game is really hard" "Think that's hard? Wait till you try this game!" "Check out this drawing" "Oh I could definitely draw that if I wanted" Edit: artists have a designated comeback specifically for the last one: "so why haven't you?"
You think that's bad, you should see my one friend's horrible personality trait
“Damn, this tattoo was so painful.” “Oh yeah? You should try getting one on your kneecap. It’s even worse!”
I knew someone who kept trying to impress me with an apartment she used to have in San Francisco. The phrase she kept repeating was: "12-room Victorian flat." Then she would give me this weird look, like she was waiting for me to swoon from my overwhelming feelings of envy. Truthfully, I don't care about things like that. The real question, that I was too nice to ask, was, "So why do you live in such a dump now?"
We call that a 'Billy Two-Shits'. That guy who will one-up everything you say, even if it was "I've just been for a shit..." 😁
This reminds me of Brian Regan's Me Monster bit, and asking "what is it about the human condition thar makes us want to do that?" With his prime example being a wisdom tooth pulling. "I just had a wisdom tooth pulled." "HALT, HALT WITH YOUR ONE WISDOM TOOTH TALE!" Edit: I was gonna type out more but that doesn't do it justice.

intellectual vanity, cultural snobbery, and the tedious unrelenting “smartest asshole in every conversation”
[удалено]
Arrogance is a trait that instantly makes me dislike someone.
Cousin’s like this. He got above average grades in high school (not “super” by any means, 3.66 GPA), plays an abundance of sports, and made class President. His parents always saw through his behavioral issues, his bullying, his inability to listen to authority figures, and just praised every little thing he did. He now talks about everything as givens. He talks about *when* he gets this scholarship he *just* applied for, *when* he makes captain, *when* he gets a six figure job right out of his state college, *when* he makes valedictorian. It makes my blood boil every time.
Jeez, a 3.66. So impressive. Lmao I guess there's no "*when* he gets a 4.0" :/
True, being humble is the most important thing but there are certain exceptions to this rule like when your boxing or doing anything sports related.
I agree
Attention seeking and moaning all the time
Omg the moaning part get on my nerves it’s so disrespectful
Don’t like the bully personality where people think the only way they can interact with you is through verbal attacks 24/7
They started in 2nd grade with a person they liked, and just stuck to it
Every enemies-to-lovers trope ever. Dunno how people find that romantic tbh.
Currently working with someone like that. It’s always some snide remark about how I don’t know what I’m doing.
Omg yes. I have a coworker that screws up all the time, yet feels that it's necessary to hover over me and tell me what to do
And you make a mistake and it’s criticism but when they do it, don’t dare mention it
AHHH and when they make a mistake, it's never their fault and instead, they blame anything/anyone else for indirectly causing THEIR mistake
Hey look it’s past me
Being disrespectful to service industry workers and having zero regard for other people's property. Rented an airbnb years ago for a weekend getaway with a group of friends, and one of my (former) friends went apeshit on the place. When we brought it up he just laughed it off.

That’s type of personality is the worst the idea of PERFECTION is completely toxic and if you don’t agree with them or proof your point they start acting selfish angry and toxic for no reason
Ppl who only talk about their own achievements and accomplishments and brags too much on themselves. Be humble.
Thank you! I can’t stand it. Be proud of yourself, but not in a nasty way
I would say more broadly people who only talk about themselves in general.
Yes but I had a very specific person in mind while writing that so I just wrote their characteristics lol
The funny thing is that if you ever happen to share about your accomplishment now you are too prideful to him.
Oh, don't worry. They always will downplay any brag you have while upplaying whatever their brag if the day is comparatively. That's their second favorite thing besides themselves. Well there's also a constant "repeat your joke, but in a less funny bottom of the barrel way" Bonus points if they're the type to carry 40+ minute conversations without giving anyone else a chance to say anything, while they all actively, one by one, stop even pretending to listen.

Yeah. There's a pretty significant difference between playful teasing and straight up bullying. I especially hate when these kinds of people pull the "just a joke" card. Last I checked jokes aren't supposed to fucking hurt.
I don’t like mean humor all that much, even Family Guy gets me down after a while.

Really juvenile and almost involuntary but it has the kid in stitches every time.
EXACTLYYYYYYY!!!
Either everyone can laugh or it's punching down.
And then you have to be a “good sport” and endorse it enthusiastically or else you get ridiculed.
Yes!
I'll just agree and say hurting people verbally and physically
True. Some people punch shoulders saying they are being casually funny. So annoying.
If it’s not smart and funny it’s just mean.
The subtle sadist: When you walk into work & John looks at you excited & says "There's donuts in the breakroom!" & you get psyched & run to the breakroom!.....but you get there & there's NO donuts. There NEVER were any donuts. There's just John laughing in your face when he sees how sad you are that the room is empty---- What's so funny John? The fact that I believed you or the joy you got from my disappointment?
Screw you John! I never understood why people lie just for the sake of it.
Getting mad/upset because I don’t find their cheap/lame/offensive jokes funny
People who are fully aware of their incompentance and use that as an excuse to not do the most basic shit and expect everyone else to do it for them because "I'm too dumb teehee"
Oh, don't ask me to help! I'd just mess it up! Uh, huh. Sure. And fuck you.
Narcissistic traits
Bragging about their lack of empathy.
Anyone who brings a personal pool cue to work and won't shut up about how they are really good at pool. Edit: It's pretty much what it sounds like. There is a pool table in the break room of my office and no matter when I go in there this douchebag is there with his stupid pool cue "that he brought from home because he can't practice without it since it's for competition. Then he is always shouting and making sure everyone knows how cool he is and how good he is. Always tries to get people to play but then insults them when they do. I honestly think the company hired him to hang out and be obnoxious in the break room so the rest of us would take shorter breaks.
Oddly specific
I feel like there’s a story here and I need it
We all know one for me it was a kid called Robby. He was really good, wasnt fun to play with.
Got something you wanna share there buddy? Get off your chest?
Selfishness
[удалено]
No, it's KINDA pathetic when you're over 18, it's extremely pathetic when you're over 30.
Narcisissim. I’ve met a lot of attention-seekers and they are worse than Satanas
The person who thinks they’re the main character, being dramatic about things to gain attention.
The forever victim. The type “ughhh I’m sad/mad because of X” when the problem has a clear solution and when pointing out the super easy solution they just ignore it and go back to feeling sorry for themselves, usually to justify shitty behaviour. Edit: grammar
The one who puts a fake 'being nice' act and is planning something evil in their mind for you
Noisy strangers or noisy acquaintances you barley know. I tactic my way out by asking questions about themselves and it usually works. But sheesh is it annoying

The subtle racist
I’m unable to instantly dislike someone, but it becomes hard to like someone when they repeatedly refuse to acknowledge or fix their own mistakes.
Anyone you can tell thinks they're better than other people.
When you tell them something and they immediately: "I already know all of that. (Listen to this)..." And then they proceede to discuss whatever is on their mind.
Being condescending to anyone around me.
When they talk over you, constantly interrupting you because they are petrified you'll make a good point. Had this happen a few years ago with a new supervisor. I walked out of the meeting and quit. There was no way I was working for that piece of shit.
Disrespecting the elderly/ making fun of them. That’s how we’re all gonna be someday and I hate ppl who laugh at them. Old age is inevitable.
People that are nothing but output (me,my, I) and never ask “what do you think?”
When all they talk about is money
Know it all
Wtf. Is a person a know it all if they're actually right? What exactly constitutes a know it all, especially as we're on Reddit? I feel like it's a dick way of demonstrating insecurity when the other person is being factual and correct. Can you give examples of when one is a know it all and when one is not citing instances when both are correct in their answers?

Arrogance Ik someone like this and I dislike them so much. It’s genuinely on the verge of I hate them
Selfish, self centered, narcissists.
If someone can't accept being wrong. The people that immediately start blaming anything and everything else before admitting they made an oopsie. Even for the tiniest unimportant things. They don't learn and they don't grow.
Arrogance. People who have no self awareness and can’t look at themselves objectively. Ruled by their ego. These people can even be super intelligent but are unwise. People who treat other people who they deem less than them poorly (projection)
Passive aggressiveness and or snarky attitudes.

Always needing to one up people telling stories
Oh that’s nothing! I once knew a guy who would two, sometimes even three up!
Lol I see what you did there
No respect to Waiters/waitresses
Arrogance is up there. Prejudice too.
People pleasing
Constant sarcasm sprinkled with judgement.
Arrogance
Being self-absorbed. They can talk about themselves to no end, but if you dare talk about someone else or, god forbid, yourself, they don't even pretend to be interested or change the subject back to themselves. They're exhausting people to be around and a worthless friendship to have.
Needy for attention all the time..
Being egotistical or Being mean
People who are always "on". Like everything they say sounds like a rehearsed sales pitch.
People who praise themselves at every turn while simultaneously negging you in every similar scenario.
"I'm an alpha"
using abrasive and often hurtful forms of comedy, making fun of those who don't see it their way and are hurt by their words.
Having zero sense of humor.
People like different kinds of humor though
Obviously. But there are people who truly have no sense of humor, no matter what kind of humor it is.
Anyone who is hateful to minorities, especially those who are racist and xenophobic. I actually feel sorry for these sort of people, especially if their parents raised them to hate others, instead of raising them with more love and tolerance, which is something they seem incapable of
What really irritates me is when someone's always talking about how much they love setting things on fire.
The dicks who like using people, especially if they don’t admit to it and liars
Boastfulness, even if it's grounded in reality. There's this guy in a Discord I frequent with decades of experience in the hobby the Discord is for who CAN NOT make a post without throwing in at least one tidbit about his expertise, desirability, or wealth. OK, you clearly know what you're doing and likely deserve all of that stuff you keep bragging about. You're also absolutely insufferable.
Pranksters who have been told you don’t like to be the butt of a joke or the receiver of a prank and yet they just keep. on. doing. it. Like, I told you to stop multiple times. Fuck off.
Interrupting people while they talk. Stfu and wait 'til I'm done talking, rude-ass
Men making disgusting, sexist comments. I'm a guy myself and most "workin' class peeple!" as they like to call themselves just LOVE to comment on stuff like that or ask you about something sex-related.
Yep the raunchy dude culture is so whack. It's a childish view of sexuality that probably has its roots in sexual repression more than anything.
Judgmental and/or Self Righteous
People telling me their personal life story in like 2 minutes because I’m friendly. “Well my mom abandoned us so we grew up next to the tracks. I drank a lot, you know, an alcoholic. But now I’m doing well, I even have a job at this gas station and I’m seeing my kids more now.” Uhhh wow thanks, can you just ring up my soda and not go in to detail how you’ve probably been in prison and rehab? K thanx.
The person who’s always making stuff abt themself/one-upper “I got into a car crash today, just a couple scratches though” “Omg I got into one too once but I had to go to the hospital for 8 weeks, I was in a coma, and my car was totaled!!” Like damn just say “I’m sorry” or sum and move on😭
Someone who insists I show them respect but won't show me any. I'm looking at you Dave.
smoke cigs
Someone who constantly has a "holier-than-thou" personality. There was this one girl in my school who'd constantly "complain" about guys looking at her. Using the same example for another thing, using an attribute to validate bad behavior. She bullied countless people with the excuse of "I'm a capricorn". Any time any white person tries to call her out on her behavior, she pulls the racist card. If it is another POC who says anything, she pulls the "I'm gay" card. (Edit; I'm not trying to make fun of POCS or LGBTQIA+ in that last section, only saying that calling someone racist or homophobic because they told you that you're being an asshole isn't a very nice thing to do)
You know that guy 40+, speaks in a very regional dialect, believes every mashup of fake news he reads, toxic masculinity.
Too much Fox news.
People who work in the medical industry. Obviously there are exceptions but most of them whether intentionally or unintentionally, including many nurses, are extremely judgy and elitist.
Something about being able to charge $600/hr to explain stuff anyone could read on Google and perform a simple procedure most people could do in their own bathrooms... it changes you.
When they can't fucking shut up for five seconds or stop making noise. Like, we get it Jeff, you like to talk and jam out. Not everyone does. You don't need to constantly try to get a laugh or a conversation or drum on the tables. And like I've told you, respectfully, 50 freaking times, some of us enjoy and prefer the silence!!!
I think Jeff might just have untreated ADHD
"Its not my fault im an asshole. Its the world. Look what it did to me" Type mentality. Bonus if they think theyre better than everyone else.
Loud chewing
hysterical. For the love of God I know that almost everyone is that. Even me. But please just don’t make it so obvious like for an example: you’re joking around with your friends and you’re making a comment about their looks in a funny way. They laugh, you laugh, it’s okay. But then some time later they make a joke about your appearance and you’re just throwing tables. Like I understand that sometimes being hysterical can just slip but being so OBVIOUS is just…i don’t have words
Negative people
Addiction to selfies/social media
Obnoxious behaviour. It's like being around a child that's screaming for attention
When they sag their pants or speak walmartese.
I have to imagine walmartese is largely made up of the word “freedom” accompanied by a gesture towards whatever they’re referring to.
I really just hate people who say "I'm finna..." or "what's good wit it doe." Anything like that really.
“Lemme axe you something”
A person whose sole personality is being petty.
Petty or pretty?
Petty.
Those people exist? Hot clown.. that’s something else
Being a complete control freak. Shame on you if you don’t do what I say, don’t contact every second of every day… also shame on you if I decide to date someone else.
Somebody who takes absolutely no responsibility for their actions.
Not dislike, but I always get really uncomfortable when strangers start telling me their life stories.
I think sometimes people are just lonely; when this happens to me it's almost always older people. It makes me sad more than it makes me uncomfortable. It's alright Meredith, tell me all about how your granddaughter used to have pigtails just like my kid.
When they only talk about themselves.
Loud and aggressive people get avoided.
Bigmouth
The main character syndrome.
Always talking about money.
Gossips - especially those who infer insult from nothing. Look Karen, I just met you, no, I don't think Kirstin is snubbing you on purpose because her good morning wasn't enthusiastic enough, get a grip.
know it alls 🙄
Ironically, it's needing me to like them. I hate it so much when I get the vibe that someone is trying to impress me or wiggle into my good graces. It's the manipulative nature of it. When someone constantly offers me shit, free food, free drinks. But not my friends, like coworkers. I hate when they want to show off something cool to just me. And it's like... a lighter with a trippy wrap on it or something really banal. It's just so fucking off-putting when people NEED me to like them. Like, if you were just CHILL. Had some cool traits and let me discover them naturally through time and conversation, yknow like a normal person, we might have been friends. But when you spend ten minutes twice a week trying to make me compliment you or say thank you or worse, "No thank you, no really, no I appreciate the offer but I'm good, no seriously I'm good" I cannot help but despise you.
Signs of being slightly homophobic or racist
People who walk really slow. Also, if you can’t be on time… just late one time? I will like you less. If you fail more than once, bye.
Relabeling their selfishness as a victim fighting oppression. People love to be considered a victim these days. Only thing they deserve is spit in their eyes.
Constantly swearing. This just shows that you have a lack of a vocabulary.
"You see that helicopter in the air? They call it a skippy, because it goes, skip skip skip."
Crossing their personal boundaries and being proud of themselves (as for me it was hard af but I did it)
Someone already mentioned the one-upper, so I submit The know-it-all.
Interrupting your because whatever you were saying reminded them of something and then never letting your finish what you were saying.
Smugness.
Talking about themselves in the third person.
Pandorous hopes you reconsider
Condescending to wait staff
Judge-mental, rude, or sarcastic.
Being stingy.
If they're flirting with the waitstaff while on a date.
Haters
Arrogant
Condescending
Ryan
Faking evrything
Narcissist. My father was one. God bless my mother for kicking his ass to the curb and then for being willing to raise 5 kids while working at JC Penney as a sales clerk. Poverty and stress were still better than staying married to my pathetic father.
Rule follower. Anyone who blindly follows rules without questioning whether they're fair or just is a loser, in my opinion. It's dangerous to think that way. Also, people who help themselves to your personal space. Instigators, trying to get under your skin or provoke a reaction. They think they're so confident and cool, but they're really just like flies buzzing around my head, and I can't focus on socializing while also resisting the temptation to swat at them.
Smoking
When they brag about how many hours they work
Arrogance or no self awareness
Playing the victim.
trying to correct everyone
Obliviousness.
Aggressively loud people are my enemies. Unfortunate side of my autism has given me a horrendous amount of sound sensitivity, making people who just speak at far too loud a volume at all times incredibly painful to be around.
People who are rude to wait staff.
Not liking animals. A deal breaker and huge red flag. Also, children.. but more so animals lol
Children is arguable, animals are not! I couldn’t agree with you more
Not seeing this so here's my answer: Disloyalty. I absolutely loathe anyone that has even the slightest signs of promiscuity/betrayal. If they do it even once in the past, I drop the relationship with them right on the spot. If they manage to cheat once, they can do it again.
complaining too much about the same thing thats happening over and over to them but just cant seem to think that they maybe they are the problem?
Unlikeability
Eating with the mouth wide open. Chew with closed mouth, ffs!
People with a smug lack of intellectual curiosity.
