We’ve all got pet peeves. Some people will smack anyone who starts chewing with their mouth open, and others might already be on their way home if a date shows up 5 minutes late. But there are also plenty of things people can say to make their potential friendships instantly go up in flames. 

Someone recently asked Reddit users to share words and phrases that alert them that they won't like a person, and readers did not hold back. Below, you’ll find a variety of statements that people can't stand, so enjoy learning what not to say upon meeting someone, and be sure to upvote the phrases that you consider to be red flags as well!

As a Christian (lol considering this article's title), I've always hated the use of that phrase. I do believe in God's will, but it shouldn't be used as a replacement for loving and serving a person, and definitely not as an excuse that a person "got what they deserved". God's will could be many things but it will always involve loving and caring for other human beings (and yourself)

    This is what I don't get about the whole "God loves us" thing. If your god really loves us, why did he come up with so many horrible ways for us to get sick and die? Why does he sit back and watch innocent children die constantly, around the world from starvation, sickness, and abuse. If the god Christians believe in exists, he's a sick and twisted being. Why would anybody worship him?!

    The “god’s plan” people are also the “I’ll be praying for you” people. So, which is it, folks? Has your god already formed a plan, including laying out all of the supporting elements necessary to come together so it will work OR will praying for what YOU want— AKA may YOUR OWN will be done— work?

    God gave us free will. Free will to do good and evil. If he stopped evil he would have to remove free will and therefore remove good leaving nothing. It is up to us to choose good and deplore evil. Whether you believe or not, it is still up to each of us to choose good.

    This one bothers so many because it shows them just how badly our sinful nature has brought this planet to it's knees in OPPOSITION TO God, yet all these people want God to just make it all go away. It is about YOUR choice and MY choice. This world is lost and done for. The only hope we have is in the afterlife. If I am wrong about God and the Bible...I've lost nothing.

    A pox on Epicurus. The thing that sets humans apart from everything else is the capacity for free will. We're not born with free will and have to earn it the hard way. Evil exists because God allows us to make our own mistakes, and being evil is the worst of those mistakes. God gives us clear guidance through many channels, and has the moral strength to just suffer when we do wrong rather than forcing us to be good and destroy what makes us human.

    Like no, just because you both wanted different things in life doesn't make him selfish enough to be labeled with an actual *personality disorder,* ***oh my god.*** Just say you weren't compatible and move on with your life.

    I had this new coworker who I didn’t have to work with, but could have made both of our jobs easier. He didn’t even need to say anything. At the first morning meeting he had a Daily Wire coffee mug that said, “this cup is filled with liberal tears.”
    Yeah, no thanks dude. I don’t need your help with anything.

    “Everything happens for a reason.”

    Nah that’s just a b******t platitude you tell yourself because thinking the world operates on logic and reason is a coping mechanism for avoiding the reality that the world is unfair, unpredictable and bad things happen to good people all the time.

    Anyone older who says "back in my day...you younger people don't know what hard work is..." Anything like that as if they couldn't buy a house on minimum wage and go to college without crippling debt. I personally graduated debt free thanks to scholarships but the older generations seem to not understand the wage/cost disparity between their generation and younger generations.

    "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers." ... according to Socrates, who lived between 469 and 399 B.C. (before Christ = before year "0"). When used mockingly, it is okay. The world is changing so fast, so every young generation faces new struggles that should be taken seriously by the more experienced generations.

    If any one of those things come up in conversation and you're being serious about it, I automatically don't trust you completely. If multiple are a part of your personality, I don't trust you at all.

    This is a well-documented and studied phenomenon studied in the social sciences. It is VERY common to hear this when the team is winning, but when the team is losing, it becomes "what are THEY doin?" or "how could THEY lose?"

    For me it’s not words or phrases. It’s tone.

    If they sound stressed or panicked or impatient over a small issue, I immediately know they’re a chore to deal with.

    For example, you toss trash in the bin, miss. Go to pick it up, and they jump on you for littering.

    Bit of a snap judgment this one. You never know what other problems people are dealing with. The person who's sounding panicky may have a family member in hospital and they're desperately trying to get through the day at work so they can go visit them.
