Being rude to service staff. Immediate indicator on who they are as a person. There is zero reason to ever be mad at someone making near minimum wage whose job it is to grab you a drink or check you out or something. It also shows that they've themselves never worked service, which is a rite of passage

Being into β€œcrystals”, auras and shit like that. Like, have you taken leave of your senses?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Being conservative, being rude and impatient, not understanding that people are human and sometimes just make errors.

So many things.

  • queer phobic. I'm not queer but many of my friends are. I don't need that negativity in my life.
  • smoker. Maybe a pass if they are actively trying to quit. Maybe. Most active smokers I've known have kind of been assholes about it, though.
  • littering. Sometimes combined with the above when smokers throw their butts on the ground
  • being a jerk about people having healthy hobbies. Like, just let someone enjoy some video games or bird watching or whatever. I can't with people who are like "omg that's so childish you still [play games/read fiction/go to the zoo/whatever]?".
  • being anti-consent. I've met a few women who are like "just do stuff and I'll tell you if I don't like it" and I'm like lady there's some "stuff" that can be done that by the time it's happening , the damage is done. Let's just have a conversation about what we like and what our boundaries are.

littering.

I was going out with this guy I really liked. Probably 3rd or 4th date. We decided to take a drive, and went to a local grist mill. Walked around, had a nice time. Took the scenic route home on this road that ran along a pristine Tennessee Creek. He was drinking a Gatorade or something, and when he finished it, rolled down the window and chucked the bottle out into the creek.

I stopped the car, made him go pick it up (or I wasn't going to drive him the 20+ miles home), and never called him again. Fuck. That. Behavior.

I firmly believe that love should be color blind, which is why I never see any red flags.

Anyone who doesn’t respect your boundaries.

That, and republicans.

Use the word "Woke" (Or "Progre" in my language) Unironically.

Unaware status-seeking behavior. Almost everyone does it.

Bad breath

Edit: for anyone who has this problem... just see your doctor or dentist. You don't need to suffer . It's curable.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

My co worker has straight gum rot, like a few millimeter layer where the gums meet their teeth that's all whiteish green and they have horrendous breath I can smell 15 feet down wind of the AC system. This is due to their horrible personal hygiene, he has a wife with good teeth, I don't know how she kisses him, I would vomit.

He's only in his early 30's and also just had to get one of his K9 teeth pulled out.

Far right or far left. Both obnoxious. How hard is it to do what's right for people and not have to be on either end of a fucking seesaw?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Some of us have held our political opinions since before 2016. We’re much more bearable, even those of us on the far left. I firmly believe people need to go through an obnoxious political phase. It’s just way more normal to go through it in high school/college. But will it be just a phase when people are going through it in their adulthood? I dunno. But I guess we’ll have to find out the hard way.

What if an opinion held on the far end of the spectrum is what is actually right for people? Do you dismiss it because of being on the end of the fucking seesaw?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I've ended a relationship because the girl drove like an impatient bafoon. If you have a superiority complex about a speed limit in residential areas, I'll sit in the passenger seat railing about how you're such a shit driver. Just drive the speed limit and gently.

People who this is targeted at and don't get it when you explain it.

Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn't that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?

It won't do!

It won't do!

You must investigate!

You must not talk nonsense!
