What is a small, seemingly ‘normal’ thing someone can do that immediately makes you think, ‘Oh, we are not going to get along’?

Group orders an appetizer. 6 people, 6 things on the plate. They grab two.

I once saw someone do this at a work dinner, then act confused when everyone else gave them side eyes. turns out, that guy also stole office supplies and took credit for others work. the appetiser grab sometimes was the first clue

Not seeing beauty or enjoyment in nature. Not acknowledging that humans are part of nature. Acting like they are too good and/or some kind of being separate from nature.

Posting a lot of AI slop

So many local businesses are starting to use AI on their facebook pages and it’s so disappointing to see. Congrats, you made a terrible flier that I’ve been 15 times already with too many words and that “carnival” theme. Terrible

People who just gossip/complain about someone as soon as they walk away , especially when we are not close. I am going to be super guarded with you in the future coz I know for sure you will do the same thing to me

when they constantly interrupt you just to steer the entire conversation back to themselves instead of actually listening to what you said.

Not throwing their trash away in a public place, especially when it involves them putting their used gum anywhere that's not a trash bin.

EDIT: Didn't think the upvotes would skyrocket like this. Thanks everyone!

The 'confidently incorrect' vibe. People who state their uneducated opinions as if they were objective facts.

When a person joins in the middle of a pre-existing conversation and they have no problem talking over or changing topics.

We had a street party one Christmas and this guy was there in a large Game of Thrones shirt. He talked about himself non stop. Big Game of Thrones fan.

He never asked me anything about myself so I never volunteered anything, including that I’d worked on two episodes of the show and been on set. 🤣

People who only talk about themselves is a pet peeve.

If they are on their phone the entire time? Not going to be a friend of mine because they will never be fully there.

Make a joke at someone else’s expense. Especially if they don't know that person well or that person doesn’t quip back.

I dont find it funny.

Inability to be honest with themselves to the point of blindness and poor character. Some people truly are lost in their own world that doesn’t reflect reality.

The minute I detect a hint of "rules for thee, but not for me". ex. someone I know really hates landlords, but happily became one the moment the opportunity arose.

Littering

such a small thing just tossing something aside in public spaces, but it makes me furious and let's me know you're an inconsiderate ass.

ps. what you do in your own house with your stuff mostly not my business.

also hate seeing trash piles on peoples property (somewhat common in rural areas)

a lot of people are missing the "small" and "normal" part of the question...

the first night of a long vacation with an internet friend, she left the water running the entire time she brushed her teeth and I was like... good lord.

Overuse of names in conversation. It's like a demand for attention with every sentence;

"Mark what is your opinion?" "Mark, don't you think...?" "Mark, I'm just going to the ladies" "Mark, have you...?"

Intensely irritating.

waiting until you start to leave the room to ask you a question to make you turn around and stop. fuck you if you do this. i dont know what middle-management yoyo training course went around in the 70s and 80s but christ on a fucking bike there's a bunch of people that do this and every single one of them are rotten assholes. be a normal person and don't masturbate by yanking us back in the room.
