Deal-breakers. There are just some actions—no matter how big or small—that are just complete turn-offs. Whether they are a friend or a boyfriend or girlfriend, if they cross these lines…there is no going back. These deal-breakers lead to nothing but rage and utter disappointment.
1. Being mean to servers and/or not tipping well.
As someone who works in customer service, it is very annoying and disappointing to have customers who are rude and angry, and they take it out on you. For some reason, our society has dehumanized the people who work for us. For this reason, if someone is rude to a waitress or employee, there is no going back. They’re cut off. Boy bye.
2. Spitting
Ew. Just ew. Sorry, I don’t want to see the wet mucus leaving your body. Nor to I want to accidentally step in it. Especially if you are spitting out gum for someone to unwittingly step in and ruin their shoe. It’s inconsiderate. What’s wrong with just swallowing the spit?
3. Littering
Call me a tree-hugger, but littering is another inconsiderate act. Not only are you endangering the environment, someone else will have to pick that trash up. Can you not hold onto it until you find a trash can or get home? Now you’re rude and lazy. Just pick up after yourself—it’s so easy.
4. One uppers/downers
You know those people who always have to one-up you or one down you. Those people who when you say something like “Wow, I just bought these new shoes,” and they respond with something annoying such as “Yeah, well I just bought thirty pairs of shoes, aha!” They just have to have it better than anyone else.
There are also the people who have to have it worse off; they want people to feel bad for them. If you mention you are tired, they have to mention how much more tired they are than you. Chill guys, it isn’t a competition. We can all just take a nap.
5. Always right
Everyone knows someone like this. They have to have the last word, and even if they’re wrong—they’re right. It’s infuriating, and you just can’t reason with them. (As someone who is always right, I know I can’t handle another person with this mentality). In the end, you just have to agree or shut up, because they will never give up.
6. The “you owe me” people.
These are the people who keep some sort of tab on just how much money you owe them. For example, Um, yeah, I bought you a packet of skittles four months ago, and you owe me exactly $2.35.”
7. Chewing with your mouth open.
Lastly, loud chewing. When I encounter someone who chews with their mouth open, I want to scream, break windows, escape. Even if I’m just across the room and I see someone chewing with their mouth open, the amount of pure rage that fills my being cannot be described. People who chew with their mouth open should be banned from every restaurant until they learn how to eat correctly
