Be kind to Earth its our home

This. An ex-boyfriend of mine did this, and the waiter was still a trainee. Fumbled with the wine bottle, trying to keep his composure while my boyfriend treated him like crap. I just gave the guy many "Please excuse this dumbass" looks, and insisted that my boyfriend tip him properly when paying the bill. Needless to say, we didn't last long.

THIS IS SOOOO TRUE - neither is telling me how many women you've 'had'. The whole macho thing is extremely unattractive.

Agreed

This is just plain selfish.

"I'm sorry BUT I had a really good reason to rob that store!"

As if by preface it gives boorish behavior a pass.

Big one. Take someone to one of your fav' places and if they don't seem to register it on any level - it's a bit of a red flag for me.

Yukkkkk

HUGE - Can not stand this.

OR OR... you can be on your phone as well and text each other instead of talking! But seriously, it's sad how many people actually spend time with their partners / friends this way... Soon we will forget how to communicate in person!

Career ambitious = bringing in the big bucks. Aka someone who will buy me nice things! (This is not me. I want someone with a sensible work ethic - sometimes that means doing some overtime, but that should be the exception, not the rule)

"did you tell them that annoyed you?" 'no, they should just know' Life is way too short to waste time huffing about and sulking, just communicate with each other properly.

I think a lot of people struggle with this, doesn't mean they're "toxic".

News flash... it actually makes you look worse

Toxic positiviity is EXHAUSTING

So true. At times in my life, I've been incredibly poor and it stops you from taking part in so many things that people who aren't in the same position simply don't understand.

I'm glad you don't want to shag every human being you come across, if you did, we'd have a problem. AND if the point you're making is "just because I'm smiling doesn't mean I'm flirting" I TOTALLY agree. I smile all the time, and I love talking to people, but I'm sick of people thinking I'm flirting just cause I talked to them. it's only happened a few times, but when it does happen it can mess you up for a while and leave you thinking, "wtf?"

It saddens me that some people care more about their curated online presence than their real life.

I would find this annoying too if it was apparent she only says it for compliments. However, some people really just have that bad self esteem. I used to be similar in my self image and have had too many experiences with people saying contrary to what they actually think that I wouldn't believe someone unless their actions matches their words. Some people are just treated badly.

It could be argued that all of you, who are arguing about gender identities are being narcissistic with your beliefs while denying others their beliefs such as the OP's. Priscilla and the rest, stop trying to dictate how others think and where their beliefs fall. You believe in all genders meaning there are more than one and that is groovy but it's not a shared concept by quite a lot of us. And that is perfectly ok because each of us is allowed to think for ourselves. Stop trying to change the narrative of a post you didn't create.

this is a turn off in a friendship, business partnership, interaction, school project, anything at all -- not just a romantic relationship

My dad does this to my mom and tries to do it with me and I'm like "no, I have too much anxiety to find more anxiety funny"

There is just absolutely NO need to to spit in public.

Looking down on anyone because of a personal preference that impacts nothing makes them pretty douchey

Yesssss. This.

I was quite needy during lockdown because my hubby was the only human in my life, he worked long hours and I worked from home. Now lockdown is easing and the weather is improving, I don't lean on him emotionally too much. Sometimes you need to lean on each other, that's what relationships are about.

I know WAY TOO MANY people like that!!

This sounds like an enabling situation. We should see this way before it gets to a breaking point.

*you're

Agreed, same with cleaning you room/house. Tells me I won't have to pick up after you

When they look orange, like Trump? That really does look absurd.

If I can smell your stink at a normal conversation-having distance... I don't want to know what other aromas lurk. 🤮

Very true. I don't like it when someone teases you in a really bullying way and then says 'it was just a joke, can't you take a joke?' Making you feel even worse!!

I am accused about this a lot at work. By one guy. Because I don't agree with him. He's always telling me, 'well that's your perspective'. But often it is just his personal opinion which he hasn't bothered to research or back with any credible evidence, findings or reports. So there could be two responses to this, is the person who you're referring to like him, someone who just refuses to think about or acknowledge statistics and facts that have been peer-reviewed in respected publications? Or are they like me and are simply not going to substitute whatever your opinion is for their own, just because you think they should with no viable basis for it?

No means no!

ladies too... it can get ugly quick, especially if they pull the Potiphar's wife stunt bc/ they didn't get what they wanted.

Or being really vague about what you mean to them, so you don't know what sort of relationship you are in. You feel like a nag if you try to clarify it all. I think it's so that they can justify the 'non' status of your relationship when they start dating other people without telling you.

This just makes me sad for them.

The popularity of giant lips has got ridiculous.

Baby talk

Yup. Had this one. Fair weather friendship - here for the fun, not for anything else. Everybody has rough patches and bad days and we should be allowed to be prepared for all sorts of weather in life.

I could never be with someone who is fine with clothes on the floor or empty cups all over.

They're probably insecure and want the validation

If they think making innuendos on day 1 is sexy, then they probably also lack maturity/ respect.

I write everything down. On any piece of paper from anywhere. I don't know why - and I seldom use that information for anything further. Because I can't find it anyway. I think it's just a latent desire to be a writer of things and stuff.

Once I was at a large convention. A woman complimented me on my eye color, and I did the above behavior. She told me that compliments are like gifts, you can either say thank you and appreciate or toss the gift back in the person's face like a jerk. 20 years later I still remember this wise woman's words.

Every boy in my grade ever xD

If you're at work apparently that's called being 'professional'. Which as far as I can tell is another word for pseudo-sociopath.

b-bb-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-bb-b-b-b-but I'm not like other girls... I'm a microwave

Aww.. I kinda like it when my partner acts like a goofball.

Well this last one is I guess more about Americans... I dont think that in europe people are so obsessed with dating for the sake of dating. In europe people just hang out and try to make friends,we do t get the part where I will sleep with you and you can buy me meals but I dont really like you as a person and that's ok... it's just madness what americans see as standard..

in a way that is "socially acceptable"... so not as unique as they think :/
