When they don’t like cats. And I don’t mean like “oh I’m just a dog person” I mean like “a cat is just a moving speed bump” kind of person. It gives me “I don’t like relationships I can’t control” and “I don’t respect living things that exist beyond my control” vibes.
The way they view pets.
If they pick up a pet who'll live 60+ years (like some parrots) and then randomly say "lol I'll give it away/abandon/release in the wild" after the poor thing is attached? Big red flag.
Pets can't live properly on the streets/in the wild after domestication. For birds, they would need readaptation to wild settings. And pets can die from heartbreak/depression.
They make jokes at other people's expense, but can't stand it when someone jokes about them.
Treating garbage collectors like they're trash. Mate their job is to literally pick up trash after you.
People who incessantly refer to you by name in a conversation. It comes across like some weird sales / cult strategy to engineer fake rapport.
When they’re far too pushy with questions and don’t leave you alone despite you making it super obvious that you don’t want to answer their questions.
Someone who knocks on my bedroom door and opens it immediately instead of waiting for me to answer it
When they don’t acknowledge that you held the door open for them. Not even a small smile or head nod.
Small lies. It can be anything. What they ate the night before, when they came home, their favorite color. The smaller the lie is, the more suspicious the person becomes to me.
Standing too close. The definition of personal space varies by culture, but even so so, most people quickly pick up the correct distance for social interaction. Someone who does not either is not paying attention or is pervy.
The way they treat, or talk about, pets or animals is a good way to judge character.
And another is how they treat their belongings.
Example: Knew a guy who wouldn’t hang up his jacket. Just drop it on the floor or some furniture.
Same with his phone and stuff, he’d have a new phone every week because he kept dropping it or casually throwing it onto tables.
The disregard for the value of things just bugged me.
If you don’t value your own stuff, how can you value other people’s belongings. Ya know?
They're stood naked in my kitchen by the open fridge drinking my coconut milk straight from the carton.
I have a friend who's a psychiatrist, he says it's psychiatrist lore to always beware of men with yellow tinted glasses lenses.
