Human beings can be complex. While we all understand that showing kindness is a net positive for society, many of us still go the exact opposite route and become total jerks.
One can argue that such behavior can be unintentional at times, but the following photos you’re about to see appear to be behaviors of deliberately inconsiderate people. We’ve all encountered one at least once, and it is never a pleasant experience.
Thankfully, these photos serve as a reminder of how not to act as grown adults and a way to shame such actions.

Preventing Others From Holding The Pole
Busy commute to work, and this woman is leaning against the pole, on her phone, taking up as much room as possible, preventing people from getting on the train while leaning on my hand the entire commute.
She turned around and angrily stared at me like I was invading her personal space.
The entitlement is simply incredible to witness.
It’s easy to conclude that the people on this list have exhibited a lack of empathy. However, empathy itself is a complicated matter because there are three types of it, according to licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Sherry Pagoto.
In an article for Psychology Today, Dr. Pagoto outlined the three types of empathy: cognitive, emotional, and compassionate.

5 Pm, Rush Hour. At Least 3 Cars Are Waiting In Line To Get To A Pump. These Guys Have Been Finished Pumping Gas And Have Been Holding A Casual Conversation For 8 Minutes At This Point
As Dr. Pagoto explains, cognitive empathy is about the ability to understand another person’s perspective. It’s saying, “I can understand why you reacted that way,” and is a key skill for conflict resolution.
Meanwhile, emotional empathy is about feeling what the other person is going through at that moment. It’s the strong emotions you may feel for another person’s situation, whether you’re happy for a sibling who passed the bar exam or sad for a friend who lost a loved one.

Why Is Being Respectful So Hard For Some People?
If you check it out from the Librarian do you have to turn it back in when you're done with it?
Passionate empathy occurs when you take action based on your emotional empathy. It’s when you’re driven to donate to a cause or help someone who is in dire need.
According to Dr. Pagoto, our ability to empathize varies, depending on our disposition at the moment. As she explained, stress, for example, can suppress that ability to express empathy.

However, a deliberate lack of empathy and respect for others could be a sign of a personality disorder. According to a 2023 study, it could be an influence of growing up in an unhealthy family environment where discrimination of some form is prevalent.

Since the world has been more open about mental health discussions, it’s easy to blame such entitled behaviors on a possible narcissistic personality disorder. But according to Psych Central, other possible reasons could be Machiavellianism (a.k.a. manipulative personality), psychopathy, borderline personality, and even autism.
Fellow Dog Owners Please
Had our 100th encounter with folks who walk their dogs off leash while walking mine on. 30" away, hey can you please leash your dogs, nope, they’re friendly, every unleashed dog owner says this, maybe mines not? Or has issues?
Are your dogs healthy, up to date on shots? We were training today but hey they don’t care, go ahead and let your dogs bum rush my dog. Sorry folks I’ve now ordered some pepper spray, your dogs healthy charges mine? Getting dosed. Come on people do better.
we had this topic yesterday: 1. offleash is a privilege you receive for training well, not a right. 2. if a dog is leashed you need to call yours back before they come closer.

Illegally Parked Car So Close To My Car That I Couldn't Leave. They Got Fined
My car has an admittedly pathetic turning circle, so I genuinely could not get my car out from the two cars I was parallel parked between. I was tired and wanted to go home to my cat. I called the council, who suggested I call the police. So I called the non-emergency line and explained my situation.
The police were able to look up the registration and contact the driver of the car. They gave her 15 minutes to come remove her vehicle, and to her credit, she did so within 10. The fun part came when the constable confirmed the car was moved, and asked me to email over the photos I had taken. I was informed, to my delight, that the driver would be fined for this infraction.
This happens a lot on the street where i work and it's always the same d****e noodle. I got mad enough to print out and cover all their windows with ads and numbers for every driving school in Northern California. Hasn't happened since.
AIO Ex-Wife Sold A Guitar I Gave My Daughter
My ex-wife (33F) and I (33M) got divorced when we were 24... 9 years ago. Since then, she has remarried and been with her new husband for almost 6 years. One of my daughters (11F) recently got into learning how to play the guitar, and because I have multiple, I gave her one of mine so she can practice when she is at her mom’s house. The guitar has a lot of sentimental value to me. I've played it at some of my friends' weddings, at a good friend's funeral, and a lot of other memories as well- including playing it for my daughter when she was an infant to get her to fall asleep. That being said, I found it kind of fitting for her to take over that guitar and start playing it herself now that she’s taken an interest in it - then today this happened. After our text convo, I called my ex-wife and learned she sold it for $350 and bought a guitar for about $150. She’s always been the money-hungry type, and I can’t help but feel like she took advantage of an opportunity to make a quick $200. She started crying on the phone, calling me an insensitive jerk, and said she didn’t like seeing it in the house because it made her too emotional. The thing is, too, my daughter was honored to get that guitar, and I know she wasn’t complaining or calling it a “hand me down”. I’m not trying to be insensitive to how she’s feeling, but I also feel like she’s using that as an excuse. Even if she was feeling any sort of way about it, why not talk to me about it first, or give me an opportunity to get the guitar back and get my daughter a different one before taking matters into her own hands? AIO, or was she out of line?
My Friend’s Building Told Her They Needed To Look For Damaged Pipes Under Her Floor. She Came Home To This
My friend came home from work last night to find her apartment turned into a construction zone with zero warning. Property management told her they’d be repairing pipes under the floors, but conveniently forgot to mention they’d be ripping apart her entire kitchen and leaving it like this overnight. To make it worse, the water to her unit was shut off with no notice, making the place completely unlivable. She had to grab a bag and check into a hotel for the night. The contractors and property management clearly didn’t communicate with each other, and no one thought to inform the actual tenant. How is this even remotely okay?
Amazon Driver Delivered Our Entire Neighborhood By Tossing Packages Out The Window In The Rain
The delivery photo on Amazon was taken through their window and showed that this was exactly where they delivered them. By the road in the rain. They marked it as a front door delivery.
We have a ring camera, and I've caught amazon drivers walking up to the door, taking a picture to mark as delivered, then walking back to their car with my packages still in hand. Easy way to be a porch pirate I guess.
The Roof We've Been Telling Our Landlord About For Months Finally Gave Up
Some of you might say, "Why didn't you fix it?" My landlord added in all the rental contracts in the building that you can't do anything without his permission. We've been telling him for MONTHS about the situation, but he is stingy, so this is the end result of most issues with the building.
At this point I would refuse paying rent. It is surprising how fast a landlord can be then.
Because This Pool Belongs To Them, Apparently
All the women in the black swimsuits on the first two rows are in a group. Took roughly 15 sunbeds, with the four in the front being completely empty when we arrived. Screamed at us when we tried to place our towels on completely empty sunbeds ("come to the pool at seven if you want anything like we did"), threw our towels at us and threw some profanities as well.

I wasn’t interested in her after she told me that her ideal date is smoking herbs, eating a meal, and getting drinks. She was also insisting I was being rude when she said “You reached out to me late” and said “I guess?

When An Author Does Such Mental Gymnastics In Order Not To Say "They", But They Slip Up Anyway
How am I supposed to read this smoothly. What is the point.
Listen, I am 64 years old, and even when I was a kid we used “they” in both its plural sense and its singular too, even when we knew someone’s gender. Using “they” instead of a gendered pronoun is NOT NEW, FFS! My friends and I were doing it fifty to sixty years ago, so I do not see what people my age or younger are suddenly upset about it. They did it themselves, believe me. Don’t let them try to tell you any different.

I worked in a 14-story building. Every afternoon, one of the custodial workers would come to our breakroom to eat his meal and leave all the wrappers and used napkins laying around on the table. The thing was that he wasn't the custodian for our floor. Here's a guy whose job is cleaning, yet comes in and makes a mess for one of his other co-workers to clean up.
Watch Out For This Dolt Who Aggressively Cut All Of Us Ahead Of Him In Line At Costco
This fool felt like his time was more precious than others who were in line in front of him waiting patiently for their turn. He was willing to potentially hit other people’s cars and get aggressive as he cut us all in line at the long gas line at Costco on Cabot. Absolutely unsafe.
People in general are freaking out because the other Costco gas on Heather Ridge is under construction to repair a broken underground tank. Hope it was worth it to save yourself a few minutes [jerk] I was tempted to roll down my window to join in with another very angry man in a Mercedes who cursed you out while you tried to hurry as fast as possible to pump gas and scurry away like a rat, if you had an emergency you could have rolled your window down, politely asked to go ahead of us and I’m sure people would’ve respected that. I know I would’ve.
Grow up and respect lines because if you try this BS in other cities like the one I recently moved from (Los Angeles), nothing good would come your way. I’ve seen road rage incidents start over less. Be safe out there, everyone.
TLDR: This entitled jerk disrespected everyone by cutting a long Costco gas line aggressively while almost hitting all of our cars. Got cussed out by an angry man and scurried off like a straight jerk.
Neighbour Blocked Both My Cars In The Driveway
Just leaves $2000 worth of work tools in the trailer and blocks my cars in… It’s just a single driveway and no way for me to get out. I just wanted some snacks after a long day of working. Called bylaw and they came out and got a hold of the owner, took him 45 minutes to move it.

At my apartment community, they would be the ones contacting the towing company.

Went To My Mom's To Mount A TV For My Grandma
Noticed this door and asked what was up with it and she said the guys who fixed her ceiling replaced this door. We visit my mom and grandma at least once every other week and she's never mentioned her ceiling or door needing repaired or replaced. She said they told her that they didn't have the right hinges.
I don't think they know how hinges work and I hate to see their repair work.

From a practical point of view, people are addicted.

Yes, it doesn’t look good and yes there should be something done about trying to get people off nicotine completely but I suspect this will be a fight your battle situation. Interesting the OP doesn’t comment about all the junk food.

On The Way To My Wedding, The Other Driver Thought The 2-Way Stop Was A 4-Way Stop And Hit My Month-Old Car With My Dogs In The Back
I say mildly infuriating because nobody was hurt (including the pups), the other driver confessed to looking at her GPS and not paying attention to the road (to both myself and the police), we both have insurance, I made it to the venue with plenty of time, and neither the bride nor the bridesmaids found out anything about it until I told her afterwards.
Way to see the positive in this situation. You deserve good karma points for that!
Came Back To My Sheets And Didn’t See Them In The Dryer And Thought Someone Stole Them. Found Them In The Wash Instead
I was washing my washing my sheets today, and the way my dorm’s laundry works is the washer takes half an hour and the dryer takes an hour. I put my sheets in right after the washer was free, and I come back an hour later and some guy decided to take them out and leave them on top of the dryer so that he could put his laundry in the washer. I thought nothing of it, and I put my sheets in the dryer. As I left, I pointed out that he didn’t have to be so hasty about it. I came back another hour later, and the dryer was still running with half an hour left. I just thought that someone accidentally restarted the dryer (it happens sometimes). Come back half an hour later, and I find this. That guy decided to take my sheets out of the dryer so that he could dry his clothes. What’s worse is he put them in the wash again and ran it. Now I have to wait another hour (or more) while my sopping wet sheets dry again.
You were half an hour late getting your wash out of the washer, so the next person took it out and put it aside. Though putting it back in the washer was an a*****e move, you were the original a*****e holding up the washer then the dryer by disappearing for an hour when the wash only took 30 minutes. It’s not your own private laundry room, it’s for everyone in your building, so remember that next time and learn to be more considerate of others when it comes to shared amenities, ffs.

"If you don't want to be treated like a Jerk, don't act like a Jerk." -- Swallow's First Law
This is the result of the "everyone is special, everyone gets a trophy" attitude so prevalent in childrearing. All those now adults feel that they are entitled to be selfish and self-centered. No one else's needs, wants, desires, are as important as theirs.
Do tell that to my 80-year-old mother who acts exactly like all of the people in all of these posts. She definitely was NOT raised during the "everyone gets a participation trophy" era. She's just a narcissist and a Main Character, like everyone else in this post.
