Zero civic-mindedness. It costs 0$ to throw your litter in the bin, refrain from parking in disabled bays, return your cart after use, stand and wait in line and the list goes on. If you can't even teach your kid which side of an escalator to stand on, you probably didn't teach your kid much else.

Making fun of someone for something they can’t control.

Honestly, it’s the lack of basic respect that gets me. Like, people who don’t say “please” or “thank you,” or who interrupt constantly. Or those who think it’s okay to leave a mess for someone else to clean up. And the entitlement thing, like they think the world owes them something? That’s a dead giveaway. Basic manners ain’t hard, and if they’re missin’, somethin went wrong somewhere. And when they just dont seem to have any empathy. Like they dont care if they hurt your feelings, or if they are just being mean. That’s a big no.

People who use their phone on speaker in public, or watch videos without headphones/earbuds.

Also people who don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. WTAF

They expect never to be uncomfortable. Discomfort of any kind is a frightening or foreign concept to them.

Someone who won’t even listen to someone who has a different opinion, just immediately yells and says they’re wrong and not even try to see it from a different perspective. Usually someone who lacks empathy as well.

Stealing. I was friend with a girl at 19-20. She was an only child, her parents had both good wages and provided all she needed. She would steal just because she had the opportunity to do so: a bike left with its keys on it (when we left a party), or an iPhone that a drunk person lost. I was so mad at her. Why do you need to steal that instead of just be good to these strangers?? Ffs

Narcissism. This is learned behavior from a parent that had a personality disorder.

There isn’t “a sign”.

Some people are raised poorly, but are lovely people.

Some are raised well, and end up scum.

And everything in between.

We aren’t carbon copies of one ‘ideal’. Humans are nuanced.
