    for me it's selfishness, nothing worse than someone who just wont share what they have with those who may need it more.

    another would be lack of compassion and understanding towards others, that's an important one for me.

    Ignorance.

    If you look hard enough at the bad traits of anyone you will find ignorance sitting right in the centre of it.

    Selfishness or stingyness definitely

    Pettiness. Whether it's whinging about someone who owes them a fiver or just not letting some stupid argument go or thinking they got a real victory over someone because they got the nice cup at tea break or whatever. It's a weird combination of having a personality that's constantly geared towards conflict and then keeping the stakes of that conflict mind-numbingly low at all times.

    An excess of pride leads to all kinds of trouble, can ruin your own life just as much as it can the lives of everyone around you. Dunno if it's the worst but it's pretty bloody prevalent.

    There's nothing wrong with ignorance, I find indignance a far worse trait in people, because while ignorance can be educated, indignance underlies an outright refusal to understand and accept that they may just be ignorant.

    Don't have to look too hard for it either.

    Slavery to alliteration!

    And pettiness and spitefulness. Often goes hand in hand with narrowmindedness. I was reading a particularly nasty post earlier and I really pitied the writer. It must be hard going through life with that much hostility and ill will inside you, it makes it hard to be happy with anything.

    Stinginess and a person being really self-absorbed. Selfishness is one thing but it's so hard to be friends with someone who is completely wrapped up in themselves and what's going on in their lives.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,802 ✭✭✭beks101


    Negativity towards life. It permeates every aspect of a person's character, from jealousy towards others to inability to see the joy in any situation. Those people can suck the life out of you.

    party-political loyalty has a lot to answer for-

    Schadenfreude - the ingrained, permanent sort, not the sort we all feel on occasion when the guy with the inconsiderately-parked shiny car scrapes the bumper as he tries to reverse out of his spot while simultaneously talking on his iPhone and sipping his latte.

    Indifference to others needs. Just being cold hearted in general.

    Happiness vampires, they drain your optimism and leave you miserable. Utterly toxic, can't stand the type.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,086 ✭✭✭TheBeardedLady


    They've all been said here already but I'd have a particular dislike for very self-absorbed people. That horrible selfishness some people possess when they couldn't give a flying fook about anyone but themselves.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,925 ✭✭✭✭anncoates


    Spite.

    Snobbery.

    Not being able to back down from a clearly wrong position or apologize.

    Lack of compassion for others.

    Slyness.

    The worst trait anyone can have is a sense of entitlement, eventually everything boils down to that "I'm straight, you are lower than me because you are gay", "I am white, you are dirt to me because you are black" , "I am male, you are only a woman so I own you", "I am beautiful so you don't deserve to talk to me" , "I'm rich so because you are poor you are scum". Every single undesirable trait can eventually be traced back to an over inflated sense of entitlement
