    Type of person I dislike mostly is someone who is very free with casual criticism towards other people in front of me and or others.. that’s just a big fûck off red flag.

    Something I notice a lot with less confident men in Ireland is that they are a bit perturbed by the protuberance in my pants. Actually guys, I am just trying to go about my day, do my chores, answer to the boss, pay my taxes, or whatever (self employed in this country since four years), and maybe we can agree to get over this and just continue with our chores?? I'm noticing distasteful, envious look, escpecially if I go out to bars in the city

    Is a proturberence some sort of mushroom?

    Slagging off other people. You just know they'll turn on you when it suits.

    If they have dirty or unkempt footwear, unless they’ve a physically dirty job, are wearing their workwear and in the middle of a working day.

    If they speak with their mouths full or chew food with their mouth open.

    If they stand with their hands in their pockets when introduced, or exhibit similar ignorant behaviour.

    If they fail to say please and thank you as appropriate.

    If they reside primarily in a mobile dwelling which is not placed on the construction site of their future home, one to be paid for by the sweat of their own brow, not the coffers of the state.

    If they take offence or attempt to dismiss my dislike of any of the above.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    no eye contact when they speak to you...is a sure sign of an arrogant arseh@le

    I can never trust people who wear shades, especially in pubs and when they don't need to have them on. I need to have proper eye contact with someone or else I have no idea what I am dealing with.

    If the convo goes past initial small talk I will always ask to see their eyes if I like them, I need to see them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,184 ✭✭✭riclad


    People who smoke, people with large tattoo,s on their arm,s ,neck,
    legs.
    Unless you are a wrestler, boxer, mma fighter, a large tattoo just looks bad.
    a woman who just wants to talk about their ex, the problems they had
    or trivial issues they had in previous relationships .
    Go to your mother or your best friend, no one else cares about this.
    People who go to a pub or a restaurant and are taking photos of the food,
    or selfie,s ,
    People who are constantly checking facebook, social media on their phone
    where ever they are .

    If they can do something to make me dislike them the first time I meet them that's a red flag.


  • Registered Users Posts: 219 ✭✭MiliMe


    Arrogance and / or an unwarranted air of superiority.
    Possibly down to my own insecurities but still...

    Activist types and professional protesters.

    Third wave feminists.

    Vegans/vegetarians only if they bang on about it.

    BMW owners.

    Grown adults who still use skateboards.

    If they feel like they should add their vapid input on every single topic of conversation even when they have no meaningful contribution to make.

    People getting too political. I don't want to talk about contentious issues when I barely know you.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,549 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    A bang of BO
    Getting all up in my personal space
    Continuing to drone on when it's obvious I have zero interest
    Me, me, me types
    False smile
    The type to brush others off as insignificant
    People who derive their self esteem from their possessions - brand of clothing, model of car etc.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,202 ✭✭✭✭ILoveYourVibes


    Bullying.

    Being a coward.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,166 ✭✭✭Still waters


    I take people as they come, i don't care about colour, sexuality, religion, politics, gender, nationality, career, as long as they don't preach any of their bull to me i can hold a conversation and chat away, if they do i lose interest fairly quickly

    when you meet someone for the first time. what things about them make you dislike them

    Puking in the kitchen sink and not unblocking it. Storing poo in the freezer. Mashing spiders into a very fine paste. Picking their toes. Pulling dead skin off their feet and flicking it into the unlit fireplace. Scratching their piles. Biting off bit of toenails. Using kitchen knives to cut hardened skin off their feet.
