People who think Michael Jackson did nothing wrong.

i think the oposite. i dont know if he did anything or not , but i let the fact decide

not specifically talking about that case

people that see a program (not even a documentry) , read an article , newspaper , face book post etc and take it as fact instead of seee it as the 'authers' opinion.

too many people believe any old rubish they read and go around spreading it as fact.
a neighbour of mine is like this. if the docter told her to use a cream everyday for a week , she would try it for 2 days then complain that its useless and the doc knows nothing. , but if someone posted up a hack on faebook about rubbing marmalade on your skin she would believe it and tell everyone

People triggered by their emotions in a debate rather staying on topic.

Lack of manners.

People insidiously laughing at someone rather laughing with them.

More common than you think, especially in the Irish working environment

Aceandstuff · 24-03-2019 1:16pm

Misogyny.
Misandry.
Racism.
Believing absolutely everything they read on the internet.
Refusing to accept the truth, be it scientific, historical, or just a minor piece of factual information. For instance, how my name is spelled. Don't tell me what my name is!
Telling people they are at fault for getting an illness because of their beliefs or mindset. Nobody's self-doubt ever gave them cancer, but that's what some "spiritual" woo fans insist on believing...

Most people are decent and likeable enough even if I don't agree with their sometimes bizarre opinions.

Being rude or arrogant to service staff, speaking over people, deliberately not holding doors for people or offering a seat to someone who *obviously* needs it more, making everything about *you* and generally thinking you're the most important thing all time and in every situation...those are some of the things that make me avoid a person.

Impatience with the elderly or cruelty to children or animals flips my bitch-switch like nothing else, no coming back from that.

I work with right rapscallions and it's easier to laugh with them, because they're just laughing amongst themselves.

It takes practice and eventually it'll be second nature to you.
They'll like you all the more.

I hear you, I am not undermining the situation..

eviltwin · 24-03-2019 1:24pm

People who think physical discipline of children is ok

People who lack empathy

Anyone who supports discrimination

People who judge me. I don't care what someone thinks of me but when they are like a dog with a bone always mentioning certain things you do and can't shut up about it I can't deal with it

I hold doors for all - men, women (not a patriarchal oppressor) and children. A simple "thank you" generally suffices. Entitled cases don't acknowledge.

I do too (not a matriarchal oppressor), and if it's ignored I say 'Pardon?' and most will remember their manners. If they don't, they go on the secret list.

I like manners, they're important.

LadySkunk · 24-03-2019 1:31pm

Not liking animals, any form of discrimination, thinking their above or better than others and placing too much value on money

griffin100 · 24-03-2019 1:33pm

Leaving your tray and rubbish on the table in a fast food place for others to clean up when the bin is 10ft away, usually accompanied with ‘but it’s their job’, have some respect for others.

I was in a restaurant, Linnanes in Newquay co Clare actually and some entitled lady actually closed the door behind her, knowing myself and my girlfriend were right behind her.

So my partner is very well spoken and has that church of Ireland disposition.

Said lady sat down with her sugar daddy, my partner basically walked over to the so called lady and put it nicely to her.

Ironically the sugar daddy knew my partner well as he is great friends with my partner's dad.
Made it all the better

They're from the South side in the Dublin Wicklow border.
Anyhow he was mortified his madam was so rude and aloof to people.

Of all places to bump into someone from year's ago.

Your wan was mortified and sat like a bunny rabbit in head lights.

We looked quite rough after hill walking,as we were wearing muddy boot's and looked like drowned rats lol

Be careful who you're closing the door to

People who think it’s funny to get their kids to say swear words.
Overly arrogant or aggressive people. People who don’t have a mind of their own and are afraid to stand up for what they believe in.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 24-03-2019 2:16pm

Overly religious people. I have no problem with people following their religion but there’s s limit especially if religion comes before everything else/family and/or going to mass more than 5 times a week and absolutely if you are so fcuked up you think you need to go more than once a day...you would not believe how many people are that messed up!

I cannot respect anyone into astrology or homeopathy, anti-vaxxers, people who park in disabled or parent-child spots, or those who dislike animals.

Bigotry, racism, homophobia and sexism
Cruelty to animals or neglect
Cruelty to children or neglect
Stinginess
Arrogance
Narcissism
Lack of empathy
Hardline dogmatic views on most issues
Tin foil hat conspiracy theorists (I would lump anti-vaxxers in with this group)

Widdershins · 24-03-2019 3:10pm

If I think you're an essentially good person then I wouldn't just lose respect and small things are just quirks. .

A herd mentality and strict conformism are two things that repel me. So does trying to be a rebel or shock people for fun. Being snobby (including inverted snobbery), having no patience or understanding for people who need it, spiteful gossiping and genuine racism I don't understand and can't live with .

I don't mind about religious beliefs if you're not embodying the worst aspects of a religion and you live by your own principles first ..

Attempting to push me into something I said no to . Or doing it to anyone . Particularly using words like ''but mary does it (drives the group somewhere after drinking ) ''.

Maurice Yeltsin · 24-03-2019 3:56pm

Unemployable or generally lazy scatterbrained people who insist smoking weed is good for them and less harmful than alcohol.

Most people grow out of smoking by their mid 20's. Of anyone older than that I know I only know one daily smoker you'd regard as successful and mentally together.

MzMurfy · 24-03-2019 4:00pm

People with zero empathy
People that take pride in being horrible to kids and animals
People that think the world owes them a favour and refuse to do anything to help themselves.

The zero empathy one is the worst though, It disturbs me.

For me it's religious people. It doesnt mean I won't necessarily like them, but they do go down in my estimation.

leaving a tray of food on the table to me doesn't equate with having no respect for others. GET A GRIP.

What practice/beliefs make you instantly lose respect for someone?

If someone doesn't constantly crowbar their beliefs into every situation, then I don't really care what their into.

Regarding practices, treating someone below you in a company like crap or making a big deal if someone is a bit different makes me lose respect.

Also the lack of personal responsibility that seems to the norm today - everybody seems to be able blame their behavior on upbringing, a disorder, substance abuse etc.

All but one stoner I know aged over 25 has either spent a ludicrous amount of time unemployed or is not fully mentally together, or both. Things like keeping a half clean bedroom, wearing clean clothes, few interests beyond gaming, attending protests and spreading radical left wing links on Facebook, one lad I know was putting his brown bin full of general rubbish out every fortnight and was clueless as to why it was never collected (well that's not quite true, he'd be lucky to get the bins out once per month as he'd usually be stoned when the reminder text would arrive and wouldn't go outside to wheel them out), leaving doors unlocked, leaving lights on, losing keys. Things like that.

The problem with most stoners vs alcoholics, most alcoholics aren't permanently drunk. They don't drink first thing in the morning. They don't need a sneaky can on their lunch break to make it through the work day.

Stoners typically require a dose in bed, one before leaving the house, and one in work if they do work.

What practice/beliefs make you instantly lose respect for someone?
