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)

I don’t look at it from this viewpoint, I disagree with the “history months” because I see it as limiting to the subject matter. Why not start with dumping holidays that should not be celebrated like Columbus Day and celebrate the pioneering people of all cultures all the time. Covered up history has been coming out and the people should be celebrated. In all honesty how many of you all know the name Joseph Rainey?

People who say this have no actual concept of what a white history month celebration would look like or even be about, they just need to feel special and they feel like someone else is getting all of the attention. But if there were such a month, I can only imagine it celebrating the day we stopped forcibly relocating native americans, the day we stopped enslaving african americans, the day we ended colonialism and all of its brutality, and perhaps the days we invented the nuclear bomb, breasts implants, and electro-shock therapy. Or maybe it could celebrate the banning of black history books and gender reassignment surgery. I'm guessing they'd be onboard with the last two.

see the thing is though that during the months that aren't black history month. THE SKIN COLOR OF THE PERSON DOESNT F*****G MATTER. That's why having a black history month is racist. as soon as you start separating out holding one in more importance than another that's when you get supremacy. The other months are just history, yes it's true that for most of that history white people were in control, that's just how it was and it was wrong we are changing it but to focus on color is wrong. Racism is taught if you stop teaching about race and just teach about people racism would be gone. It almost f*****g was until recently when morons couldn't leave it alone and just had to poke the bear.

"Yes but you know there's worst" everytime you have an issue. Denying the pain of someone isn't helping them at all.

I want solutions or I want help or I want someone to b***h about the subject / person which / who is sensitive topic for me. Not thinking about others.

"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.

“I’m the type of person thaaaat…” You always know it gonna be followed by some egotistical b******t. Ex: If you cross me I’ll cut you off real quick, don’t f**k with me.”

"wambulance"

I've never heard anyone use that term who wasn't a flaming douchebag.

Friend: They made my latte wrong and now my whole day is going to be off. Me: Poor thing. Do I need to call the wambulance?? Basically means you’re being overly dramatic. Do I need to call an ambulance for you? Waaaa 🥲 + ambulance 🚑

Anyone who uses the phrase "are you/they on crack?" in response to a joke. Makes them seem very judgmental and like they have almost no sense of humor. Plus it makes it awkward for everyone.

Referring to something being "shoved down our throats". I've found it to be a red flag for reactionary/narcissistic/conspiratorial thinking.

Sorry, but I disagree. Just me personally. If someone is pushing something on me aggressively, I say they are trying to shove it down my throat.

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.

I think *you're* the one displaying the 'red flag' behavior here. Unless they're being pushy about it or something, why the f**k do you care if they're vegan?

I'm sorry but what's wrong with "I'm on the spectrum"..? I'm very literally on the autism spectrum, clinically diagnosed, and I've used that phrase to refer to it. Do people that aren't on the spectrum say it too to seem quirky or something? This is a genuine question heh
