Psychologists think we tend to ignore red flags because we simply don’t want to be right. Falling in love can really mess up our minds, and turning a blind eye to behavior that’s obviously not right is one way. After all, finding someone you truly like is like winning the lottery these days, but no matter how much we’d want to fall in love, some glaring signs indicate we may be better off without them.

Examples of Red Flags (Funny But True)

When X user Lauren Chanel (formerly of Twitter) asked, “What’s a simple red flag that has never failed you? Something small like a person quoting 48 Laws of Power”—it struck a chord with many people. 

The illuminating replies started pouring in, and they definitely shed light on what to be cautious about in our love interests. You might find some of the biggest red flags in a guy funny at first glance, but they actually reveal what kind of a person they are. From people who say they hate animals to “littering,” some things may look basic or funny at first, but when you really think about it…

Whether you find the biggest red flags in a girl funny or not, the following compilation may save you from taking the wrong step. By the way, this isn't just a collection of funny red flags for girls; it includes funny red flags for guys, too!

Took a woman on a date years ago who did that. Had our waitress constantly attending our table, you could tell she got off on having a "servant." It was a major turnoff. Didn't go out with her again after that.

I have always wondered why people think that it is alright to say that they hate cats. The general response would be "Yeah, I get it. Cats are assholes." If you say you hate a dog, then the whole world is against you. "How dare you hate a dog? What sort of sub-human are you?" To cat-haters: what in the world did a cat ever do to you? So, yes, I'd run far, far away from someone who would harm a cat, or any animal, really.

Have you ever been in love? Your best friend, your family friend, your parent? If so, you’d know very well how love changes people. Thankfully, the transformation is usually for the better, but sometimes, we fall head over heels so deeply that we lose the ability to detect doubts and other negative reactions we have with our love interests.

Elite Daily interviewed some experts. Here’s what they had to say about blind love and its impact on the people in the relationship.

In fact, very few of us are immune to this phenomenon, says nationally recognized psychotherapist Dr. LeslieBeth Wish, who considers blind love to be something that doesn’t have to do with appearances. It usually hits during the honeymoon phase, when we still haven’t had enough time to experience the negative side of our loved ones.

There's some sense to this statement. You can have respect for your fellow human and also respect the roles that different people have. If you make a big spill in a mall or airport, will you get a mop or a janitor? Just apologize and show gratitude.

I guess that's not the point or the situation described. It is more like people that leave a mess on the food court table and say "it's not my job, let the cleaners deal with that"

My students mess up the classroom, do I tell them to clean it. "But thst's the job of the cleaning Service!" No, the job of the cleaning Service is to clean the random things, not your mess! Additionally I worked in a cleaning Service myself to pay for my study at university. So no chance arguing with me.

Downvotes ahoy but I think there's a caveat to this: the tone used and the situation it occurred in. Example, while shopping as a custom, another customer accidentally knocked several glass bottles off a shelf where they smashed. A member of staff appeared in seconds and told me and the clumsy lady "let the cleaner do his job, please". The cleaner had all the right equipment to deal with a spill, and the store would have been liable had I or the other customer tried to help and cut ourselves on the broken glass. Nothing to do with the cleaner knowing his place and everything to do with knowing who was the right person to deal with the situation.

Not the same thing that this post is going for. One easy example is at Starbucks. If you accidentally drop your drink all over the floor, yes the employee will rush over with the right equipment to properly clean up the mess and this is expected of their job role. It is not expected of their job role for patrons to intentionally leave their garbage on the tables and even the floor. That is why there is customer accessible trash cans.

Depends on the situation, if you accidentally make a mess, and clearly can't clean it up yourself. Then yes. Sure. BUT. If you KNOWINGLY are just being a selfish asshole, throwing stuff, liquids around the place, cause "well it's their jooob..." and all in all act disgusting, then no.

There is nothing wrong with apologizing and helping clean up, making someone’s job easier will always put a smiley on their face. They won’t go out of a job, because there will never be a time where everyone cleans up their messes. Just a good deed, everyone is happy

a friend of mine would never put her McDonald's rubbish in the bin because she said "that's someone's job, so I shouldn't do it for them". She wasn't being nasty, simply saying that is someone's job, so don't take it away from them. (But I always but my rubbish in the bin, cause I'm a good girl !! and that's how my mom raised me !)

Had a family member who would deliberately throw garbage near trashcans but not in them. One day I asked him about it and he told me he did it to create jobs. I told him he wasn't creating jobs, he was just making somebody's job harder. He never did it again (at least not ever in my presence).

Whenever me and my female friend go out to eat somewhere, she’ll always make this huge mess (unknowingly it seems), like getting food on the table way off the plate, even food on the floor and chair, uses extra napkins, extra sauces, etc. and when we leave she’ll just leave it all there, like it honestly looks as if she deliberately tries leaving a mess. Usually I’ll just wipe up after her out of sheer embarrassment lol

This one is so true. Once I realised what a big red flag this was I steered away from anyone that deliberately made a (likely) soul destroying job just that much more horrible. Not flushing a toilet in a public facility?? How on earth do you cope at home? Also similar, people that deliberately abandon shopping trolleys in hard to retrieve places in car parks just because they can. I totally get someone leaving it neatly somewhere safe if they have little ones in a car, or are physically not able to return the trolley, or some other decent reason but the anti-social people out there...just no

You do realise that a janitor's job isn't just cleaning the messes that people make, right? There's daily dirt build-up from people walking on floors and touching things like hand rails, light switches, door handles, buttons, there's dust build-up, there's the mess made by staff doing their jobs, and there's also things to fix, lightbulbs to replace, paper towel machines to refill. I can go on for a very long time, but I think I made my point. Janitors and cleaners don't need your mess to keep them in a job, in fact they could very well do without.

Had a mate once who wouldn't return the shopping trolley after unloading into his car. To my objection he pointed to the special needs people hired to collect these from the lots and asked "do you really want them to lose what's likely the only job they can hold?" Dignity and self-sufficiency can come through work so I had to admit that he made a good point.

I disagree. They are usually hired for other tasks and then must do this on top of their hired roles due to people like your friend. At best, their role might include gathering the carts from the designated cart return areas if those exist. But their role was never intended to roam the entire parking lot to clean up after lazy people feigning to be considerate.

According to relationship expert Susan Winter, who also spoke to Elite Daily, the honeymoon phase brings all the best parts of our significant others to the spotlight. “We haven’t experienced the many times they’ll disappoint, let us down, and hurt us. These are the things that occur later in a relationship. Without knowing the totality of our partner, we are forced to see them in a state of love blindness.”

After the honeymoon phase ends, many lovebirds start to see and experience the not-so-pretty side of their relationship. This is why recognizing your initial doubts at the beginning of a relationship is crucial. Cherlyn Chong, a dating and breakup recovery coach, suggests seeking a person who can meet one’s needs “regardless of surface or social standing.”

“They need to not completely judge people right off the bat, but they should also prioritize those compatibility traits.” Thus, often, that very first hint of a negative reaction you have may be the most telling one. Basically, don’t ignore the red flags!

A basic apology demonstrates remorse for something you did or didn't do. You start by saying "I'm sorry." Then you identify what it was that you did or didn't do to offend, you show you understand it hurt or offended the other person and how it hurt or offended them, and you tell them what you will do to avoid repeating it in the future. For example: "Hey, John- I'm sorry I told Mike you were getting divorced. You told me that in confidence and I know I betrayed your trust by sharing it with him. I value your trust, John, and promise you that if you ever confide in me again, my lips will be sealed." Notice I didn't offer an excuse like "I did it just that one time" or " I didn't know it wasn't public info." OWN IT when you apologize. Explaining yourself can come later if THEY request it. Otherwise, you're just throwing out excuses and not owning it.

Ex friend kept doing this to me. I would start a conversation that she would wave away with with the comment 'oh, you and your x idea' as though it was weird when it was usually just something I'd seen in the news and wanted to share thinking she'd be interested. She'd roll her eyes and pull faces if she didn't understand or agree. She would demean compliments I got from people to make them appear worthless. I realised her low self esteem got a boost from belittling me. People who only feel better when they try to diminish you are not genuine friends. Real friends would want to listen and support you. Even if you miss the fun times (I do) it's truly not worth the other times when you go home upset and thinking 'what on earth was that for?'.

I disagree with this one. There is a lot of politically correct racist and misogynist things said and there are a lot of not politically correct things which are not racist and misogynistic. The preamble is to recognize that you may not agree with what they are saying. That doesn't make it automatically wrong.
