I don't hate anyone - it's too much effort as you have to work quite hard to maintain hate. Why spend so much time embroiled in negativity? I must admit there are those about whom I'm completely indifferent; I just don't think about them at all. Much better!

When you're on line you know that 80% is faking, another 10% is lying and the remaining 10% is trying to get you to subscribe to them. Nothing on the net is real.

35 Spot-On Answers To “What Do People Think Makes Them Look Cool, But Actually Makes Them Look Like A Douchebag?“, As Shared In This Online Group This is very specific, but I once knew a bloke who thoughy he was cool for not liking Game of Thrones, which is fine, but would then post spoilers of it on social media along the lines of "I don't watch or care about Game of Thrones, but X died in the most recent episode, unlucky if you saw this". I fell victim of it once and I literally thought my blood was boiling. I was so angry.

The lesson here is probably to stay off social media before you've seen the most recent episode of a show you love.... But still.... F*** that guy.

I have a coworker who has the "gift of gab" and is very proud of his ability to give people false assurances while being extremely vague, essentially just bombarding them with words until they're satisfied. It's a useful trick, I suppose, but when you hear him do it in real time, you realize he's just a very good liar.

Endlessly talking and bragging about their "private lives".

Example I had a real d*** of a boss who once said "man it wasn't yesterday i got laid with that woman" after a customer left, which made me and my colleagues somewhat uncomfortable, he also talked about how his wife better show those "TTs" for everything he does.

I'm not interested and I think it is super trashy to talk like that.
