Taking advantage of people in weaker positions of power, from being rude to a waiter to abusing a disabled person. They all make me dislike the person immediately and will likely cut them out of my life as soon as possible.
Littering
and
Littering
And
Casually using racial slurs.
Or any slurs, right?
Good point
“It’s just a prank bro”-people. I already hate it when someone finds it hilarious to hurt others, but if those same “pranksters” then also act all indignant and percieve themselves as victims of prejudice when other people do NOT find their “pranks” funny, they can GTFO.
I have a bit of a weakness for pranks gone wrong. I’d probably spend more time watching videos of it if I didn’t know that most of them were fake. But there’s just something about that reversal of who is in control and dictating how the events will proceed that is delicious to my soul.
If they treat others bad. Such as waitresses, their friends & family, co-workers etc.
Instantly no respect, zero tolerance.
Lack of curiosity.
Hypocrisy.
The problem is that it seems 99% of the population are guilty of it.
Hypocrisy and misdirection are like 50% of the problem with politics too. If people had to say what they actually meant instead of beating around the bush we’d have much simpler debates: “I want better transportation infrastructure” vs “I don’t like taxes” vs “I’m racist”. Easy choice. The other 50% of the problem is that people would still vote for the third guy…
Leaving carts outside the corrals at the store. Failing to signal. Actually a lot of car or car adjacent behaviors. All of which go back to “my immediate convenience is more important than being a conscientious member of the society I live in with other people.”
It’s the lack of awareness that gets me. You’re operating a 2+ ton vehicle at speeds significantly faster than humans can reach by themselves, amongst a group of other people doing the same, and you figure it’s okay to be unpredictable?
Unfortunately that’s not something you can really test for, that blasé attitude towards interacting with traffic, since most early drivers are going to be on their best behavior, and this is developed after years of getting away with it (or NOT but somehow still doing it?).
No hobby or passion.
Some people just seem to work, then come home and watch whatever is shown to them on TV or scroll through their phone. And that’s it, other than socialising, that’s their lives.
It’s hard to find passion for things when depression is constantly bearing down upon you. Constantly making you second guess yourself, the things you do, the things you find joy in. Anything that could bring happiness and enrich your life, your mind will sabotage any chance of you trying it out in favor of the lifeless apathy that’s taken a stranglehold over your life.
Not to say I’m constantly mopey woe is me, nawh mate. It’s just hard to find reason to be passionate about anything when your mind is constantly telling you it ain’t worth it.
Not everybody that your comment applies to is depressive, but it’s a common pattern within depressed folks.
Some of us bust our asses at work and don’t have the energy for other shit. Get over yourself. 😑
You don’t have a hobby? No interests at all? Just whatever the world markets to you, you consume?
The fact you’re here in a niche social media site suggests this isn’t true and you have interests outside of working.
I bust my ass too but still have a hobby! Most people are busting their ass 😅
People who abuse animals, beyond normalised speciesism. Like kicking dogs or cats. Or wearing fur. Or… OK normalised speciesism also makes me lose respect to someone when they know about it and they don’t care.
Fake friendliness.
More in general, I have some respect for people who overtly are just selfish (at least they’re open about it) whilst having none for people who, acting with the same selfishness as the former, try and pass themselves as nice.
As it happens, nowadays I pretty good at reading people when I do care enough to pay attention.
Making jokes about disabled people
Smokers who support the war on drugs.
Learning that they believe in ghosts, flat Earth, or anti-vaxx conspiracies.
When they talk about somebody else behind their backs.
I dunno, I’ve always found the ability to throw one’s voice fascinating, even if ventriloquists are near the bottom of the comedy performer totem pole.
