Worked for the RSPCA in the UK. Saw too much of this. It's heart-breaking.

The key is respecting jobs like this - they are all useful and some essential. Respect for the person doing the job will then follow.

i think making non-teasingly making fun of a stranger in general is a giveaway..

Except when they pull the douche move, 'It's my fault for trusting you to do it'.

Oddly specific. What can they possibly mean?

The people who say this can't go back to their own country - the Confederate States of America does not exist.

That's pretty typical for narcissists. People like this are indeed toxic af but I would not 100% blame them for having a personality disorder

I mean, I definitely can't take criticism - that's why I never criticize anyone and anything...

I hate it when you're talking to someone and the topic always goes back to them. You have no equal input in the conversation. You wonder what you're doing other than being a receptacle for their problems.

This was my Mother. Even when she was 'called out' about whatever comment-from people who were present,-she still would not back down. Just cursed and blamed them. Sad disease.

welp better go tell my sister that she's a horrabile person

Trash full stop. It's not hard to find a bin. Most people have them in their homes nowadays.

Thoughtful.

All too relatable

I have a coworker that cannot stand it if someone else gets praised. Another coworker won an award from an industry magazine (this was very prestigious if you are in the same line of business as us), and the company had a lunch and the COO congratulated her, etc. The entire time, this coworker complained about the food, sneered at the cake, rolled her eyes during the speeches, etc. She is like this at office baby showers, birthday parties, etc. She just hates to see anyone else have good news or get positive attention.

That’s not only gaslighting, it’s exploiting another person’s disability. The person you are supposed to trust the most to safeguard your vulnerabilities (family member, spouse, best friend, etc) should never ever use them against you.

yeah that’s a sure sign to leave. if they can’t respect boundaries, it’s unlikely they will respect you.

A true Christian should never have to tell you they're a Christian. You should be able to tell by their actions. IMHO

My mom was like that. She was always soooooo concerned about what other people thought of her or what they might think. In front of others she was the best mother in the world. In private she was intolerant and verbally, sometimes physically, abusive.

Sometimes a person's hate or dislike for animals comes from some type of trauma or interaction that they just aren't willing to share. A childhood dog incident or such can scar a person for life. If they are verbally expressing their hate to others that is one thing. But, taking it out on innocent animals is another.

Yep. If they don't have a kind word to say about a person they claim to love, that speaks volumes about either their relationship, the person themselves, or both.

what about a Let's Go Brandon sign?

Like the hair stylist I went to who proceeded to tell me that she sometimes pulls pranks on her Vegan friends by putting chicken broth or other meat products in potluck items and calling them vegan. I bit my lip until she finished my hair and then complained to her manager saying anyone willing to do that is a horrible person. Some people go vegan for medical issues. She could have seriously hurt someone.

"I'll give you something to cry about!" As someone who tears up easily I really hated as a child hearing that phrase from an adult. If I could control the waterworks I wouldn't be crying.

Also, r*pe jokes. They’re not funny. They’re horrible.

Responding to Nycra: MAGA hats are not just "a choice of head accessories." They are a political statement. Big difference.

I’m old, and after putting in over six decades of life, I have come to the conclusion that there are two kinds of people in the world: nice people and assholes. Sometimes assholes can be nice, and sometimes good people can be assholes, but you are basically one or the other—-and it is up to everybody else, not you, to decide which you are.

SCUM!!!!!!!!!

Older guy came through my line. As he is leaving picked up a bear, put it in his bag. Saw me looking at him, put it back. Then he reached up for another different toy. So i shrieked to the supervisor "hey such and such! What ya doing?" The guy left in a hurry....

And they make you apologize.

Wow, sounds a lot like my sister

Now where have I heard about that before?

Yesterday I went to a company meeting at a hotel where they served breakfast. Staff was on standby in case anything needed replacing. I was the first one in line to tell them "Thank you for the breakfast." Others finally realized that it was a nice thing to do and started complimenting how good everything looked. Be nice to these people. They bust can making these meals for you. The least you can do is tell them you are grateful for their effort.

I don't think I really understand what gossip is. I asked my boyfriend awhile ago and he said it's like when he tells me about the fights he's had with people. But I don't see why that's is seen as so bad, it's something that happened to him, it's the explanation as to why he disliking certain people, so why would it be bad? And me right now describing what he said, is it gossip? Like by that logic people could never tell about any situation that happened in their like that involved a third person. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

Oh sounds like my mom-

Not entirely fair. I’m constantly interrupting people because I can’t control my impulses and have trouble listening due to severe ADHD. You shouldn’t immediately write someone off as a shitbag for something like this

As an atheist, I disagree with the last. The whole purpose of religious texts was to teach morality. It's additions made at later dates that corrupted the message. It's making wild interpretations where one wasn't necessary, 'And he looked upon a black horse and brown camel drinking water together from the stagnant pool, and he waived his arms and chased the beasts away', "Well I guess that means we should get black and brown people out of our country and that will get rid of the stagnation" Seriously??? NO! WTF' He was just stopping them from drink the dirty fecking water! Stop seeing shite that isn't there! The WHOLE book isn't a metaphor, just a few parts!

i- i would be genuinely terrified..
