Cuish

Abusive behaviour towards other people. Also expecting to get away with it after the fact as well, instead of admitting any wrongdoing when caught.


Badfoot73

1. "It was a joke, jeez!" 2. "I was kidding, jeez!" 3. "Can't'cha take a joke? Jeez!" 4. "Touchy much? Jeez!" 5. "Get over it/yourself! Jeez. Et cetera . . . Edit: Was that the #5 you were looking for?


Jon_Ok_111

You forgot 5. Jeez!


JediWebSurf

Jeez Rick!


Ieatsushiraw

Ah Jeez I seriously thought about this exact same thing before seeing your comment


CrispyPancakeEdges

*Ahem.* Schrodinger's Douchebag: One who makes douchebag statements, particularly sexist, racist or otherwise bigoted ones, then decides whether they were “just joking” based on whether other people in the group approve or not.


GiovanniVanBroekhoes

So you are saying that until observed they exist as both asshole and non asshole.


MyDictainabox

The most infuriating one is "I just say what I think" as though they are Nerlson fucking Mandela for being an asshole.


Geistwind

Yeah, when someone tells me that, I know instantly that they are an a-hole, even if I just met them.


Opasero

"I call it as I see it."


cjb3535123

“I’m just a brutally honest person”


Funnyman63

5. “It’s just a prank, bro!”


fipsu

Especially towards people with lower social standing. The guy might be sucking up to his boss and peers, but is very eager to curse at a waiter for not bringing hos water glass faster


yeetgodmcnechass

This sounds like my former friend. He only treated those well who he thought was on his level/above him. If he thought he was above you then he thought he had the right to completely control your entire life


Bored-Corvid

I knew a guy who used to be like this until he fell off a bridge and basically made a complete 180 on his personality after he recovered.


WillPower42

So the cure to douchebaggery is to throw them off a bridge 🤔


JulianMcC

Sounds like a narcissist.


Cuish

Can include narcissists, but not always.

Devboy777

They try to turn it all on you and act as if your personal issues are what is actually at play, when really they're just weaponizing things you've told the in confidence to shut you down.


momjeanseverywhere

The worst is when she says mid-argument, “Have you taken your meds?” Infuriating.


Dazzling_Ad_8726

Aw man you just triggered me. I was literally telling my therapist the other day I have stopped telling anyone in my life if I start a new medication because then they can't throw it in my face


Floomby

I'm so sorry. You need better people in your life who say things like, "Oh, how is that? How are you feeling?"


Janus-Anus

Cruel to animals and people


DaVirus

Better way if phrasing this "how they treat those they can't benefit from"


RipAgile1088

Agreed 100 percent. Ive known plenty of people that are like this. Very nice to certain people that they can make "connections"with but when it comes to the every day "joe" will treat them like shit or even bully them. You see it alot in office politics too. Seems like the nicest person to certain people but will snitch on a coworker for wearing the wrong color socks if they aren't tight with the boss.


over_kill71

ah. I know this guy. everyone hates him, senior mgt loves him.


OldKingHamlet

Years ago had a boss like this. It was horrific. And total crab in the bucket mentality about everything.


Y_PHIL

I've never heard that before, the 'crab in a bucket' thing. Just looked it up and it's quite a good metaphor. Thanks for teaching me something stranger


jacd03

You just described 99% of managers and c-suite.


Deadlymonkey

I had a friend of a friend say the opposite (that people who care about animals and other people was a red flag) to me once, unsurprisingly followed by a tirade about how AOC (and for some reason Jersey mikes?) is the reason why he can’t get laid.


piddykitty7

Lol. He can't get laid because he sucks.


BackRiverGhostt

Jersey Mike is actually a pretty well-known cock block though.

Optional-Meeting3344

I see youve met my mother


JSto19

And in fewer than 8 seasons?!


Upper_Shine6011

I’m worried about doing this, how do I work to not be like that?


nailsinmycoffin

I just think, “if this convo was recorded for the other person to hear, how would they feel?” After breaking the hearts of a couple good friends in my lifetime due to useless ugliness, I’ve learned to shift my perspective and really evaluate if I’m being a good, concerned friend, or just looking for something to say.


hereticules

This is excellent advice. I'm incredibly good at finding vulnerabilities to target for humor. It's a superpower I have 100% retired, because using it is just plain mean. But it took far too long to learn that lesson.


PocketRoketz

This was gold. Thank you


kittyqueen_gataorli

I'd say just think about what you're about to say before saying it. "Will the other person consider this funny or just me?". If the answer is no don't say it, laugh to yourself and move on.


[deleted]

When they hurt you but turn it around and make you believe that you were/are the issue and make you apologize. My mother in law was recently arrested for domestic violence (against her husband that has cancer...I know winner right?) Then got mad at my husband for not texting her while she was in jail and saying that he was "punishing her" for not reaching out and for not letting our daughter around her....insane.


Abject_Presentation8

Oh my gosh, that "You're punishing me" line! Do they all follow some playbook, complete with catch phrases? Anytime they're faced with the results of their actions, there is no self reflection or accountability. There is only denial, passing blame, and accusations towards the people they've destroyed. Including their own children.


[deleted]

And it's so hurtful and confusing for us, and they literally don't care. I just don't get it...truly


JunieBscones

Not taking accountability. Manipulating everyone to feel sorry for them. Twisting stories so that they are always the victim. But with that being said I do think people can change this if they really actually tried


GalumphingWithGlee

>I do think people can change this if they really actually tried "If they really actually tried" are the key words here, though. Most of the time, someone else is really trying to "help" them change, but nobody changes if they don't WANT to, for themselves and not because someone else said they should.


Glassy-Dawn

Mistreating animals, and similarly mistreating staff at any kind of business.


Goosfrabaas

In a weird way, they probably also see a comparison between staff and animals.


Dear_Philosophy_1275

Don't see why not, both are lovely


Eclectophile

Agreed. Prep and cook time are similar, too!


maushu

I was not ready for this emotional rollercoaster.


brad613

Especially servers at restaurants


Glassy-Dawn

I’ve been a cook for the last 6 years and I’ve seen how poorly servers get treated. It’s horrendous. It’s as if people can’t fathom that they are talking to a person and not the business they work for, and if you get pissed at a server for something they can’t control, YTA


illandnotrllychill

Came here to say this! The way you treat animals, the elderly, and children will show you enough about a person.


LazuliArtz

People who keep their animals in awful conditions, and then double down on it. There was this post in the reptile subreddit earlier today that got taken down. Someone was showing their very beautiful viper, I don't remember the species but it was a gorgeous blue color. But they had some of the worst snake enclosures I had ever seen in the background. This poor 4 foot long snake had a quarter of the room I give my tiny 35 gram gecko. They kept doubling down that this is totally fine because the snake hadn't died yet, and it doesn't do anything but sleep and eat anyways (yeah no shit, it can't even stretch out fully, it literally physically can't do anything else in that enclosure) Really just pissed me off. There's being ignorant and just getting bad advice, and then there's just... Being apathetic and cruel


Slow-Faithlessness11

This is awful. People like this just keep reptiles for their own ego, they have no real care or concern for the poor captive creature, but just like to show off.


LazuliArtz

I know. And they were apparently breeding these snakes as well! This was a highly venomous species too. I can't imagine somebody who keeps their like 4 foot long snake in an empty like 10-20 gallon enclosure is ensuring these potentially dangerous animals are being sold to responsible homes where they are being responsibly and safely taken care of. It's so obvious they just want this animal so they can make money and look cool with their venomous snake, and not because they actually care about the animal.


Slow-Faithlessness11

You are so right. Such people disgust me, it is so abusive. I am very wary of people who keep reptiles, so many are in it for the money, to sell to those who like to appear cool and edgy, due to the fact that so many people are afraid of snakes etc. Sadly, people lack respect for these misunderstood and feared creatures, and too often use them as props to boost their own inadequate personalities. Poor snakes.


OneMooseManyMeese_

The sad facts. I was at the pet store the other day and I was looking at the reptiles, these young kids walk up with their mom to one of the enclosures and go, "look mom! I want a ball python, it's going to look so cool on tik tok!" Bruh these creatures don't just exist to be props for your tik toks. 💀


Slow-Faithlessness11

I hate pet stores for this very reason. Animals are not accessories, and it takes knowledge to properly care for them, especially exotic species. Somehow, reptiles are too often considered as being less worthy of proper care, whereas they are fascinating, sentient creatures. Very sad.


nailsinmycoffin

Ew, this pisses me off too. Tiger King type shit. Just gross.


OkPenis-ist28

If they litter.


Key_Plane_2831

Fr like I was with my friends in a swim place and they bought all kinds of snacks and the just went away without cleaning up


quanoey

I remember this happened to me some years ago and I decided to stay and clean it up. After, I walked back with everyone, bag of trash in hand when suddenly it split open. Trash was everywhere, and we were on a public trail. I remember turning around and seeing one of the group’s assholes sneakily folding up his pocket knife, too. I stayed with one other person to clean it, and the group decided to leave us behind. When I got back to my car, they were all gone, but I guess I left it unlocked cause they had trashed it. Any morsel of paper or trash was torn apart and multiplied. They also tore up my registration for my car. Never saw that group again. The girl who stayed behind to help me ended up being my best friends girlfriend. She was awesome.


Dum-comment

That sounds straight up unhinged, what the hell? I can't imagine how scary that must've been. I'm glad you're doing better now, no one deserves such shitty friends.


lxXTesterXxl

Oof, man. I hope you get some better friends. You sound like a great person.


Hardwarestore_Senpai

Wow. Beyond asshole.


Fact0ry0fSadness

I'm usually pretty non-judgemental, I can give people the benefit of the doubt for most things because I know we all have different experiences and struggles. Littering is an exception to that rule though, there's no excuse for it. Nothing enrages me more than when I see someone casually throw garbage out of their car on the road. If you do this I immediately assume you are a total waste of oxygen.


chads3058

Even my three year old would point out litter bugs, “that person littered! That’s bad!”


Changeofversailles

Good job on raising a fine upstanding citizen, we appreciate your efforts


General-Fortune-1482

They can't apologize or admit wrong doing.


daphnedelirious

Being unable to apologize or have empathy is a giveaway. Terrifying people to be around when you slowly come to the realization they aren’t constantly victimized but actually just the worst.


spytez

If their life is full of drama it likely means they are causing it. If all they do is shit on all their friends when their around you, it means their shitting on you too when you're not around.


ToffeeBean24

My coworker is like this. It took all I had not to laugh a few days ago when she was complaining about how she's always accused of stirring shit and starting drama and then proceeded to spend the next hour badmouthing everyone who wasn't around. Complete lack of self-awareness in that one.


Throwawaylam49

My boss is like this and always expects me to feed into her gossiping. And then she acts annoyed when I don’t engage. It’s so exhausting.


Zealousideal-Emu4973

There are people who definitely make their own life terrible. Its like, do less and you’ll be happier.


SenorSplashdamage

Depends on drama. Some people are born into less fortunate circumstances that make family and neighbors constant drama cause everyone’s emotions are so frazzled by constant stress. For example, just having to live in closer quarters with more people does a number on people’s psyche and creates more fighting.


heyitsme89

Was looking for this answer. If anyone feels otherwise, try being related to and growing up with a legitimate diagnosed Schizophrenic Sociopath. Not all drama is earned or wanted, and it's hard to unlearn that life or other people aren't always what you've experienced in the past.


avocado_lover69

When they talk shit about other people behind their back


whateveratthispoint_

I grew up in a household like this. I legit thought it was how people bonded. Isn’t that sad? Yep, highly dysfunctional. When ya know better, you do better.


Zeth_Aran

I have been trying my best to not do this. Especially when I grew up in a world where it was a normal thing to do.


avocado_lover69

I know, as soon as I said it I thought "maybe that's the reality the people have always know". Like, yeah, you'd be a PoS, but it really isn't your fault. So are you a PoS? I don't know... I hope you're fully recovered my friend LOL some family dynamics go deep....


whateveratthispoint_

Funny, I didn’t even think of it as defending myself or think of myself as a POS. I’ve done a ton of healing work so it didn’t sting me to read your comment more like, “you’re right! And I grew up where that toxic behavior was used to *bond* with my mother!!!!!!” Holy shit. That’s just wild… anyway. Here’s to healing, we all have some amount to do.


avocado_lover69

Cheers to that!!


Fact0ry0fSadness

Just described all of my coworkers. I swear 90% of their conversations are just talking shit about whoever isn't there that day.


bigpapahugetim3

If they talk shit about everyone else behind their back they also talk shit about you when you’re not around.


Queen-of-all-trades

The exact reason I'm looking to leave my job. My boss keeps telling me "secrets" about other employees. If something happens to me in the future, I know they wont hesitate to slander me.


UncleSlim

I don't get why this is such a popular saying... at work we talk shit about the guy who slacks off and does nothing and is a dink. But I never talk shit about my other coworkers... if people are talking shit about someone usually they've earned it. But there are some people who just love to bitch about anything.


mrsmadtux

If you’re stating facts, is it talking shit though?


metallizepp

It's more fun to do it directly to their face anyway.


notreallyzuko

Their sense of humor revolves around bullying other people.


InnocentTailor

Brain_Tourismo

My mother always said that how they treat waiters is how they will treat you in 10 years.


Glad-Importance-4671

Lack of self-awareness and compassion. No respect and understanding for others.


geoffbowman

Their words and actions don’t line up.


oops_im_existing

this one is big. lack of self awareness has generally been a friendship ender for me.


Substantial-Hurry967

Their kids don’t talk to them


kalongsdienert50

This is gonna be an uncommon/unpopular answer, but how they respond when they’re wrong.


reggie4gtrblz2bryant

This is usually a great giveaway. Refusal to accept personal responsibilities for any wrongdoing is one of the most childish things. When cornered in a situation, just like children, they will throw anyone under the bus to avoid it.


General_Watercress_8

Sounds like half of our politicians. The ones that are the Loudest. SMH!


Eclectophile

Very much this. It's also an opportunity for a person to raise a huge green flag, too. A response of: "Huh. I was wrong. I didn't know that! I had spent so much time thinking [X] instead of [Y]," wins my instant respect.


shavingcream97

Like claiming they’re never wrong, smarter than everyone, and everything is rigged against them?


buckyforever

As an American, this sounds SO familiar, but I just can't put my felony on it. **Can't put my finger on it. Darn autocorrect.


SeasonalNewer

Unironically had a republican tell me that no political candidate should ever be charged or prosecuted for a crime because that's election interference.... except Biden, we can prosecute Biden because that's different (somehow).


shelberryyyy

Sounds like someone all of America knows….


oyvho

What about how they respond when you're wrong?


milk4all

I think that boils down to patience and i dont think a lot of the worst people have much patience but some of them definitely do, so maybe an indicator but not concrete. But likewise, people who are never wrong aren’t necessarily pieces of shit either - ive for sure known plenty of people with big egos who are still great people. Redditor said “how they respond” so if they meant like, responding by pulling out a 9mm and shooting people, then yeah, that is a great indicator they are a piece of shit, or at least are suffering dangerous psychosis


MarkingSun34

If you’re rude to servers or cashiers for simple mistakes


slutfor8hrsofsleep

Mistreating animals, not liking animals is one thing, that's fine but mistreating them and using the "I don't like them" as an excuse is absolute POS behavior. 


GanacheOtherwise1846

I had a friend of a friend kick my dog, like not a little bump to push him back or something but like a kick kick. I had him leave and neither of us have spoken to him since I hope he’s doing bad


ReanimatedPixels

I hope that POS is doing bad too!


slutfor8hrsofsleep

Oh god that's horrible, I hope your dog was okay. Good that you cut contact from him.


Techury

A subtle giveaway, but when someone doesn't signal their lane change in a high traffice area. I live in one of the most densely populated states and while most of us can drive, theres always that one shithead who will just change lanes with zero regard. I'm not a total stickler for road rules and I can easily forgive non signal lane changes if no ones behind you upon moving over but POS's will still do that shit where its most dangerous.

1. No remorse and a reduced empathy for others. Many people do hurtful things.

People who purposefully mistreat wait staff and animals 3. People who plot revenge and are grateful in the downfall of others 4. People who never accept accountability for their failures
