To gain more insight on this topic, we reached out to Susan Krauss Whitbourne, Ph.D., ABPP. Dr. Whitbourne is a Professor Emerita of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Gerontology and Faculty Fellow in the Institute of Gerontology at the University of Massachusetts Boston, and she was kind enough to share her thoughts on these unfortunate first impressions. But according to Dr. Whitbourne, first impressions aren't always a great indication of someone's personality. "Many situational factors affect first impressions, such as what is going on at the moment around an individual. Also, it is also remarkably easy for people to put on a false impression," she told Bored Panda.

We also asked if it's typically a positive thing for people to show their true colors immediately, like the people featured in this list, or if we should all have the manners to be more polite upon first meeting others. "It is preferable to 'read the room' before you show your true colors, but in general, it's better to err on the side of being polite at that first meeting," Dr. Whitbourne says.

She was complaining the 15 year old kid who just fled from the war in Ukraine wasn't working hard enough at his dishwashing job.

The kid doesn't want to be alone in a dishwashing kitchen all day, not able to speak to anyone. He should be in school at home with all his friends! Of course he's not excited about the stupid dishes!

The lack of compassion was astounding. And she was indeed a wretched person, so my initial impression was totally correct.

Dr. Whitbourne also noted that it is wise not to form an opinion on someone else solely off of your first interaction. "You absolutely should wait to gather more 'data' on someone, although those first few vibes could be informative potentially (unless they are putting on a false front)."

And when it comes to how we can make better first impressions, Dr. Whitbourne told Bored Panda to remember to read the room. "That is very important, especially to determine what emotion to display to ensure that it is consistent with the situation (i.e. not laughing in a serious situation). Eye contact is always helpful as is attention to posture and other aspects of body language."

"Put yourself in someone else's place when you see them in a certain situation before deciding on what their personality is," Dr. Whitbourne added. "For example, It's very easy to be overly critical of others for engaging in the same behavior that you would in that situation, so in these cases, give them a break. If you're trying to decide whether to have a relationship with someone based on a first impression, keep the third point in mind and allow yourself to gather more information and then decide based on that."

“I’m Not Racist, But…”: 45 Things People Have Said That Made Others Know Immediately They Wouldn’t Be Friends New guy started at my job, we were outside smoking on first break. Keep in mind I have never met nor spoken to this dude in my life. He walks up, lights up his cigarette and says "you know, I think my severe arachnophobia has transformed into an arachnophilia. I've been watching a lot of spider hentai while masturbating."

Then he then began to describe his new waifu pillow he bought. Her name and his plans to marry her.

I was speechless...

Edit: I work in a distribution warehouse for a clothing company. We were forklift drivers. He didn't last very long, but not because of things he said. He was constantly late for work, and twice a week he'd show up in Crocs, knowing damn well I've told him 100 times he needs closed toe shoes. I'd have to send him home to change shoes, I told him just keep a pair of shoes in his car so he has something to wear at work. Didn't work, and eventually I had to let him go for excessive tardiness and absenteeism.

I was the only woman at my last job and I was 2nd in seniority on our little crew. I did almost all of the training of the new people (all the younger guys loved me because I was like mom to the crew. Always had snacks and would always listen when they were having a problem or whatever). My biggest problems were usually with guys in their mid 30’s. In the morning meeting the bosses told everyone their job assignments. As we were walking out of the shop he said “yeah like I’m going to listen to some snot nosed 24 year old chick.” to one of the older guys and the older guy turned at looked at him and said “I suggest you say that to her face. And if I were you, I wouldn’t p**s her off. We will always like her more than we will ever like you.” And he was an absolute d**k to work with and never listened to anybody except for the managers. Lasted about 3 weeks. Still dislike that guy.

My favourite was when my husband and I were working together for a bit (he worked there before and we needed help so he came in on days off to lend a hand) and the one guy I was having issues with at the time said I was a huge b***h and he didn’t understand why they didn’t just fire me aside from my tits (thinking this new guy would be his friend). Husband listened to him all day and didn’t say a word. At the end of the day when the entire crew was filling out time cards he looks at the guy and says “thank you for telling me all day how much of a b***h my wife is. But you’re right, she does have great tits.”

Parent of one of my kids friends at school. Said there was a mouse in their house and his wife wanted him to kill it but he didn’t want to kill any creatures - he wants to make friends with them instead. But wife insisted so he threw his shoe at it and eventually managed to hit it, but it wasn’t dead, so he threw his shoe at it another 4 times. It still wasn’t dead so he poured boiling water over it to kill it. It still didn’t die so he poured boiling water over it again. It STILL wasn’t dead so he decided to leave it alone in the hopes that it would peacefully pass away.

The logic of being too squeamish to kill something, and instead decide to torture it to death slowly in the most agonisingly painful way absolutely blew my mind.

In another position I was told by my Muslim bursar (I worked in a school at the time), that I would be going to Hell for letting him have a bacon sandwich during Ramadan (during the day) after he had jokingly demanded it.

Also with SA specifically - we have BEE laws - many people consider those to be racist, you'll often hear ''it's not about education or skill, it's about skin colour'' muttered over and over again. It's really loaded topic so I just want to state that I'm not saying it is /isn't racist, I'm not arguing for or against - just simply saying that many view it as racism. For those that don't know: ''Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) is a policy of the South African government which aims to facilitate broader participation in the economy by black people. A form of affirmative action, it is intended especially to redress the inequalities created by apartheid. BEE compliance is not compulsory but if you want to do any business with a government department, government-owned enterprise, or alike, you will need to be compliant. This is because the government will not work with any non-compliant businesses.''

They talk negatively about someone else in a very judgy way. There was this mom in my daughter's school who seemed to "know" everyone, she talked to me and she spoke so bad about these people. Then moments later I saw her interacting in a "friendly" way, with those she was judging. My eyes rolled so much I could see my brain telling me not to get involved with her. And I was right, because by the time school year ends, her "friends" hated her and they were talking behind her back too.

“I’m Not Racist, But…”: 45 Things People Have Said That Made Others Know Immediately They Wouldn’t Be Friends Literally last night, was at a local pool comp and went to introduce myself to my second round opponent. We shake hands and his first words to me are “weak f*****g handshake bro” followed by “I hope you like banter mate” then proceeded to talk s**t about every aspect of my game. The worst part was he was actually good at pool so it just seems like he was generally a c**t. Some of his other opponents got it a lot worse than I did as well.

Highlight of the night was when the comp host basically yelled in his face “everyone in this room f*****g hates you” which received a round of applause. He didn’t seem to understand why that was.

“Just banter bro” 😒

Edit: Ahaha the comp is 90% regulars that are there every week. This was the guy’s first time playing there. He knew no one except for the couple of mates he brought. I can assure people calling me a liar that he was universally hated. He ended up losing the final which received more of a response than the host yelling at him but yeah lol. I don’t even know why I’m responding to this. I guess I have never had this much attention on anything I have ever shared on the internet.

“I’m Not Racist, But…”: 45 Things People Have Said That Made Others Know Immediately They Wouldn’t Be Friends I knew I wasn't gonna like her based off her actions on her first day at work. We work with dogs at a daycare and boarding place. In the morning, during feedings, one of the first things she tried to do was get meds from the med cabinet. I tell her no, that's front desk, they handle medication. She just kinda nods. In my head, I'm like not sure why you are trying to pass out meds without anyone explaining anything to you, but okay, let's move on.
Few days go by then one day, she asks if she's suppose to clean the water bowls we have in the dogs' suites overnight.(she was already told how to clean suites, which involve cleaning the bowls every morning) I just say yes.
She also asked me if she should clean the park water bowl after a dog peed in it. I again say yes.
She still works here, but no one likes her since she likes to pretend she knows what she's doing then asks questions that can be answered by having basic common sense and problem solving skills.

No doubt, given how sleazy many companies act, that there would be one that would break every single word in a contract prohibiting said source of energy. This isn't some weird occurance where people conspire to supress something, but then act totally loyal to each other about that one subject, while dragging each other to court on a daily basis for minor patent violations or totally made up causes. It just is not there. The energy they claim to harvest does not exist, has never, will never, no matter how often that Schlauberger dude is said to have proven this, that, and beyond.

Polish girl in my class proceeded to tell me, a Scottish person, that Japanese whisky is better than Scottish whisky. I'm all up for a lively discussion but when asked for names of either Japanese or Scottish whiskies she had tried she "couldn't remember". When asked why she believed this to be so she "didn't know". Well f*****g shut up then ya cow.

I'm old af and she was very 20 and full of shite. Some of the stuff she'd talk about made me cringe so we don't associate anymore, who has the energy or time to listen to that shite.

Edit: Just because I've said this a few times I'll edit it here - **I am no whisky expert or connoisseur, I am not saying Scottish whisky is better than Japanese whisky or vice versa, it's subjective, everyone will like different things. I would have totally been up for a discussion with her regarding what she has tried, what I have tried and f**k it, let's try this together but instead the 'I don't know/I don't remember' really got my back up.**

I've tried Japanese, Scottish, and even North American whiskey. I feel Scottish whiskey is a bit stronger than the other two. Japanese whiskey is a little smoother. North American whiskey (at least the local Canadian ones I've tried) is usually a little lighter on the alcohol content. I personally prefer North American whiskey, mostly due to affordability, but at the end of the day, it falls into personal preference. There's no objectivity as to which is better, due to different taste buds from person to person.

10 bucks per person, winner kept the pot.
I assumed they were just being rude and planned to tell her of her "friends" plans as soon as she showed up.

She walked in, looked at me and scoffed and asked if the grey car outside belonged to me, I said yes. She told me that with the money that car cost I could have bought something nicer.
Ok, well whatever.
I went to get a drink and sat to watch the crowd gather around her.

I already didn't like her but she went on to tell everyone about how she could never date someone who had a crappy credit score or couldn't pay their vehicles off after buying it, someone who wanted to quit the contest asked for a cigarette, she opened up her purse and showed everyone a fresh pack of smokes and then told everyone why she doesn't smoke and why anyone who asks for a cigarette is either too broke to buy them or doesn't plan ahead of times.
The guy asked her for one of her cigarettes, she said no and put them back in her purse.
She talked about all the cars she "bought" basically her parents would co-sign for her and pay the car off to build her credit and she would give them a few thousand to pay them back.

She was nuts and wouldn't stop talking. I disliked her but was also fascinated with her, she was super weird.

Update:
So I have gotten a few questions about this girl and that night. Also who is Gina?

There was something like 15-20 people there and most entered the "contest" I think the pot got up to 100-120 bucks.

The winner was just some guy who I didn't know, he spent the money getting every one McDonald's and beer, so he was pretty cool.

She was about 22-23, she had just finished getting her High School Diploma because she had dropped out to "make money" according to her, I think she sold some milk shake things and fitness plans with some MLM.

For those wondering what happened to her, im not 100% what happened to her, she wasn't a my friend but she did show up to a few parties I was at and she seemed calmer she used to bring her own bottle of liquor and wouldn't share which was kind of funny because on one occasion they caught her filling her bottle with a bottle of jack that some one had brought and left on the kitchen counter, but she swore that all she drank was Hennessey and Fireball.

Absolute silence for several minutes.

Edit: to answer some questions. No celebrity gossip isnt a moral failing but it was a super awkward question because when stuff crosses over into a conversation of physical attractiveness with a bunch of new coworkers, its uncomfortable.. also in my case, small talk with this girl was always awkward and we never got along in the 6month internship.

Wasn't something they said, but they started grinding their teeth while talking and raising their voice to get their point across at the tiniest first disagreement.

This is going to be tame compared to the others here.

So my job involves me calling people to help them with their problems (not cold calling, they've contacted us for help first). Each day I have a long-a*s list and want to get through it as fast as possible, so shorter phone calls are best.

So when someone starts a conversation with "Okay, I'll try to keep this short..." I already know I won't like them, because that's code for "I'm gonna tell you my life story and I won't take a single breath throughout."

Do they have to talk? Does nodding and smiling count?

There was this dude I knew who was a total bullshitter. This dude was like that door from Labyrinth who never told the truth. You could bet money that if his lips were in motion, he was telling a story that straight up did not happen.

One night, my friend and I bumped into him at 7-11, and he got out of his car to tell us some horseshit about getting pulled over and schooling the cop who did it about regulations (yes, homie was obviously white). Out of the passenger side emerged this girl....

To this day, I still don't understand my reaction to this chick. She was listening to his stupid s**t, nodding along to all the right beats and laughing in all the right places. And there was something about her that made me see red.

As in, I'm watching this girl go along with this obvious b******t, and my hearing starts to go. I no longer hear this dipshit talking, I only see this creature that looks human, but whatever is behind those eyes was... something evil. I felt like a paladin looking at a minor demon. A disgusting creature. Like I was looking at a snake. This creature was false in every sense of the word. The loudmouth doing the talking was just full of s**t; that's how he was and what he did. Nobody took him seriously. This nodding thing, however... it was dishonest in a whole different way; one that made me feel actively hostile.

I'm an extrovert. People are my thing. I people for a living, and I people for fun. Never before that or since have I ever met someone who I never wanted to see again so hard, and I don't think she even said a word.

Edit: I guess I'm a crazy misogynist now.

No, what you saw was a narcissist-confabulator/borderline couple. The narcissist craves attention and worship. The borderline wants to be approved of and merely noticed. They attract each other madly.

New girl at my job. I asked her how her training videos were going and she rambled for about 30 seconds about how her old professors bred horses.

She ended up being my least favorite coworker.

1. 30sec is not that long? 2. what is the link between horses and training videos? 3. maybe she wanted you to go away?

There's a certain type of cringy weirdo that I just seem to be a f*****g beacon for. Think a socially stunted weeb, or the kind of person who talks just a little too loud about things that are just a little too private to be telling you. Or maybe the kind of person who just kind of never shuts the f**k up. I don't know how I'd describe them exactly, but it's that sort of annoying person. Every time I meet one of them they just gravitate straight towards me. I do not like them, and my immediate first thought is "oh god, one of *them*". Whenever I meet one, I know I won't like them and I've never been wrong yet.

Funnily enough, the last two times it happened they were both curly haired white girls named Jessica.

While I am not a huge fan of people who are narcissistically oblivious and never shut up, gotta say that OP sounds pretty judgmental themselves, with using the term "weeb" and the statement "oh god, one of *them*". While I may agree with their opinion, they're a little rude with their stereotyping, IMO.

Howdy, I'm Adelaide! I'm originally from Texas, but after graduating from university with an acting degree, I relocated to sunny Los Angeles for a while. I then got a serious bite from the travel bug and found myself moving to Sweden and England before settling in Lithuania about two years ago. I'm passionate about animal welfare, sustainability and eating delicious food. But as you can see, I cover a wide range of topics including drama, internet trends and hilarious memes. I can easily be won over with a Seinfeld reference, vegan pastry or glass of fresh cold brew. And during my free time, I can usually be seen strolling through a park, playing tennis or baking something tasty.

I don't think I've ever met someone I hated from minute one. On the other hand, I could have sometimes a weird feeling when I meet someone. That most often turns out to be a red flag confirmed later by his/her actions. I think it's my subconscious that perceives signs that I don't see immediately.

Exactly. Your subconscious is picking up clues, and eventually there's enough for your conscious mind to say "RUN!"

I schooled him lol I said "mate, you bring your Mrs to work BBQs and stuff if you want us to respect you and her how about you do it and stop telling everyone her private business" he was shocked I didn't want to hear about him having sex

First time I met my partner's (white) mom, literally the first words out of her mouth were "I'm so sorry about all the n*****s. I tried to block them from building their church here but was voted down." I mean...who says that to their son's GF?

The absolute most asinine, moronic thing Ive ever heard in my entire life was said to me within 5 minutes of meeting the guy. Im a decent conversationalist and rarely am spechless just because I was a bartender for 15 years so you really get good at talking to people. But this dude told me that if you got a swastika tattooed on your forehead and you lived in a Jewish community you could legally go on disability because it would be too dangerous for you to leave your house to go to work. I wish I had a picture of my face when he said it because there's no way I was able to hide just how confused I was. This guy really thought he was some kind of genuis free thinker to

i would overlook most of these, except those previewing bullying/passive aggressiveness. there are enough truly evil peoples and situations to be judgmental about anyone else. as for hate...we should only hate the evil, not the people we don't like; that's not a defense mechanism, it's arrogance.

Hate is a big word and feeling. I dont't really hate anyone. I can disdain people after a few seconds conversation if they're numbness, mindlessness and insensivity. There's this pretty married young woman working as a housekeeper at my best friend house. He's a retired well looking 68yo neurologist with health problems. One day, without context, she said (in front of him and his daughter and me) that his husband is not jealous of him because he saw where he stands. I hate not the person but the lack of sensitiveness many people express in their working and not working life. Everyday I experience this even if I 'm a very sincere person. The lack of human kindness and empathy.

Was working a temp job in a warehouse and this new girl came in a couple of weeks after I started. She starts going on about conspiracy theories and flat earth. Now usually I can just laugh about this stuff and carry on with my day. Then she's says the most whackadoo s**t I've ever heard... Ready for this... "I don't believe in gravity"... I mean, wtaf am I supposed with a sentence like that. I was just like "k cool, I'm going for a smoke. Can I have some of your weed?"

Some new new people moved in across the hall a few weeks ago. First words out of her mouth: "Are you Christian?" When I said I'm Jewish, she said "oh, we have some Jewish friends, they're so nice." Actually, to be truthful, the absolutely first thing was to look at my dog and say, "so that's what I've heard barking." You're down already, my service dog is not a "that". So far, I've colored a Star of David and put it on my door so they have to see it the first thing out of their door. Haven't spoken to them, but when I do, the first word out of my mouth will be Shalom.

Dude in my class lied making up a fake story- his parents are abusive, he’s gonna start a car business, he’s amazing at art, has autism, is depressed, and became color blind cause he saw lightning. I had some beef with him at the beginning of the year and he was telling me I wasn’t bullied at my old school cause “girls don’t get bullied”. I left the classroom in tears. He said sorry and said he would change and joined my friend group. Was a complete jerk ad dragged everyone into drama. One of my friends is a sweetest guy and never gets mad but I watch as he loses it cause the jerk is bullying him. He leaves the group blaming us for his problems and my friend later on tells me that he was bullying him cause he sat at the “gay table” and the reason that my friend wore a mask was to keep the gay away. No a*****e it’s cause he has a grandmother at risk of Covid.

I've seldom met someone I took an immediate dislike to. Usually they have to earn it. ;-) I will say, though, that some of the OPs come off as people I wouldn't really want to know.
