40 Funny Red Flags People Shared That Have Never Failed Them

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.

this is such an incel thing to say

Oh god.. Wolf pack leader, awooo.

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.

Fact: All drama magnets are negative polarity.

omg - the most violent person I know is a huge litter bug - flings stuff all over the place, disgusting...also a serial domestic abuser and physically violent

Those people also often can't stand jokes of similar type aimed at them.

Took my date to a great restaurant where one of my best friends was our waiter. I introduced them to each other. On the ride home my date said to me " I cannot believe you would introduce me to a waiter... and what is it with you wearing a trench coat to a luxe restaurant.. don't you have anything nicer?" LAST DATE.

That's part of someone's identity, It's important you get it right to respect them if they are sensitive or feel more comfortable with you doing so.

Unless they really have problems pronouncing it because, for example, their mother tongue is very different than yours, even with the best of efforts. Luckily my name is easy for Koreans, but if I were, for example, Zvjezdana.....

Even worse: People who knowingly and willingly keep calling people by a certain name although the person has repeatedly asked them not to do so. Some people want to change their name for various reasons and you need to respect their choice. Don't care how long you know them, if they tell you that their new name is Roberta instead of Adam, you call them Roberta.

Or when they correct you. My surname starts with V and in spanish the V is pronounced as a B. I had it a lot in other countries that people corrected me like "I am X with V" and they are like "You mean Y (pronounced with a V). How are you so arrogant to correct somebody about how to say their own name?

Also people refusing to stop using deadnames. Thats not their name get over yourself

Much worse: people who twist others' names "to make a joke"

I'm the only one who likes freestyle naming? My name is weird and I like the stuff People Come up with. It's hilarious 🙈

"Da-ta, Dat-a, what difference does it make?" "One is my name; the other is not."

My gym teacher accidentally put my name as 'Noella' on the list or something and he still calls me Noella even though I keep reminding him my name is Noelle

I have a friend from Iran, when Americans try and nickname her or mispronounce her name, she calmly says “I took the time and energy to learn your language the least thing you can do is learn my name”. I love her for this!!

I disagree with this one. I believe that life requires tolerance and we need to understand that not everybody can pronounce the same sounds. My name has a strong r, and the lastname Is a tongue twister. If i got offended because people could not roll their r, i would have missed the opportunity to meet wonderful humans. I agree that if important for the other side we should try our best, but life Is a lot easier if we accept the other as a nivel person doing their best.

Ok I'm going to get flamed for this but if you have a non typically pronounced name, don't get all bent out of shape if someone does not pronounce it correctly the first time they say it. It's not their fault you decided to make up an alternate pronunciation for a name that is commonly pronounced differently or your name is not one they have heard before. As someone who has worked in customer service, this is pretty common and it gets repaid ;)

I genuinely don't care if people get my name wrong - it's hard to pronounce in some languages, and even my mother spells it wrong sometimes - and she's the one who gave it to me. It's so not worth getting upset over.

At work I have a colleague with an Indian name 22 letters long. My real-word name has only five but mostly consanants. We joke that we share a problem but for different reasons/lengths: nobody new can can pronounce our names correctly!

Not hard to pronounce but I will introduce myself as Stephanie and first thing out of people's mouths: "Hi Steph." If I wanted you to call me Steph, I would have said that.

I once had a teacher who would call u what ever he wanted.he got fired for intentional miss gendering kids

This is also hi-key racist for non-English names. I have never allowed someone to mispronounce my name once I realized that they would be downright pressed if I purposefully messed up a name like Smith or Johnson.

My name is regularly mispronounced. Used to bug when I was younger but after 20 odd years of correcting people I just started shrugging and answering to whatever.

Than i would love for you to pronounce my FULL name correctly, without any mistakes.

Or how a city or word is pronounced in the native language that it came from! People who refuse to try to pronounce things correctly or don't think that they should be because we are "in America where we speak English" are usually closed minded.

Yep. If they tell you: "it's pronounced-" then at least ATTEMPT to do it right.

I actually haven't had much of an issue with this. My name is Andreas, but people pronounce it differently depending of where they come from. My dad pronounce it with a different intonation than I, and even I pronounce it differently when I speak English (Norwegian is my mother tongue).

Keep in mind that some people have speech impediments that makes it difficult to say another's name without practice, especially if it's a name they've not heard before. At some point, focusing too much on proper pronunciation get's in the way of a happy conversation. It's not always about respect. My dad could not pronounce my name properly, and he's the one that chose it. Hence my nickname.

It's fine unless it's it's a play on the name that's an insult. Some people say Markus to me.

ok, but this guys profile pic is the cutest thing ever

at work we have to put names on drinks, i always ask people how to spell their name, if i'm unsure, or if it's a name with multiple spellings. however, i feel bad if i'm handing out a drink and i dont know how to say the name, so i make a guess, then ask the person (if they hang around) how to say it correctly so i can get it right the next time.

My last name sounds VERY slightly like a common word. some different letters-that are really important. I had someone tell me they were going to call be by the common word b/c it was easier to say.

...so, everyone in my friend group has a nick name that developed over time except for me...I don't like my name and I keep waiting for my own nick name. I would love someone to freestyle it. Also, Ivana is not my real name guys. I don't use my real name online. Not so people won't know who I am, but because I really hate my real name, deeply.

I have a middle name. If I present myself as "Firstname Middlename", 90% of the time people start calling me by my middle name! I don't have anything against my middle name, it is just that I grew up being called both (or just my first name), so I will assume you are talking to somebody else if you just say Middlename. also, I don't get why they would all take it for granted I want to use my middle name as my first name. *sigh*

Hear, hear. I think pronouncing someone's name incorrectly (if you've been told the right pronunciation) or misspelling their name in a return email, for example is not just bad manners. It's also lazy and tells me that they don't give a s**t about you. So yup, red flag for me.

This happens to me DAILY! I respond calling their name incorrectly, lol

And people that don't take the time to spell someone's name correctly when it's RIGHT THERE IN THE EMAIL!

I am in love with that last line

So... everyone at my school except for a couple of close friends

I never got this either. Even if their name is hard for you to pronounce, you can ask them if they have a nickname they prefer. Way easier & nicer than continuing to screw it up and/or purposely doing so. Not to mention, many people with hard names have probably gone through this a lot & have something they are ok with.

how do you pronounce yours. As a french women I am pretty sure I would hurt your ears

Disgusting.
