Very few people in the world could be called outright evil. However, plenty are narcissistic, entitled, impolite, and enjoy bullying others. Unfortunately, trashy people are a part of life. Whether you call them out on their behavior or ignore their antics to protect your nerves, you can’t deny that everyone would benefit if they were more compassionate.
The r/AskReddit online community banded together to share their thoughts on the not-so-subtle signs that someone’s most likely a trashy individual. They called out folks for a wide range of nasty behaviors. Littering, awful parking skills, and not returning grocery carts are just the tip of the iceberg. Scroll down and don’t forget to meditate for a spell if you feel your blood pressure start to rise.

If they mistreat animals. There's just no excuse for it.

I have 5 cats and a dog because they were dumped off and were starving to death. I would like to dump these people off and let them starve for a while !
So much of that during the first lockdown. People bought puppies then dumped them when they realised they had to actually look after them and were not a toy/fashion accessory
I had a friend do this when she first had kids. :( We don't talk much anymore.
When I was younger, I did have to move from an apartment where I could have pets to one where I couldn’t. But I made damned sure my pets were taken in and loved by good people before I left. I never abandoned my animals, and I thoroughly vetted anyone who wanted to adopt them. I hated having to give them up, but that was how landlords were, and some still are. It’s a shame, and heartbreaking. Now that I’m in a place where I can keep my pets (strictly inside, btw, too many cars, wild animals, and a*****e people outside to risk it, you know) their entire lives, no matter how long they are, the only heartbreak I have with them is when they get incurably sick and/or old, and I have to take them to the vet for their final visit.
I tried to catch a bright yellow beautiful canary bird yesterday. It sat in the bushes and I still feel so bad it got away. (It flew up in a tree) It was -1 C° tonight. 😭 (under freezing point for you in US)
Our local shelter is a capacity... people are just dropping crates at the door. We already have two. ANIMALS ARE NOT CLOTHING OR FURNITURE!!! YOU MADE A COMMITMENT, DO BETTER!!! I am not happy when they bark at every sound or when the one tears s**t up from separation anxiety, but they are clean, fed, cared for, loved, and safe.
Every time I see an article about another pet sad and confused because their owner abandoned them, it hurts my heart. I'm looking at my own house werewolf right now and she's the light of my life, I cannot imagine just tossing her out like she doesn't matter.
I had a neighbor do that once. He told his children the sad old trope about "giving it to sometime with a farm." When the kids mentioned it to me, I took the time to explain in detail what their dad did; he was stupid enough to brag about it to me. When his five - yes, I said five - children heard, I could hear the freakout from upstairs in their apartment. That same night, he went back to the same spot he left that poor dog and found the dog still there waiting for him. He had about 150 ticks on him and was hungry and thirsty after days, but he was healthy. I still feel no remorse for trying his children because they deserved to know what a POS their dad was.
I wish there was some way to totally prohibit people like this from EVER getting their hangs on another animal of any kind!
Just casually litters.
If trashy people throw trash onto the ground, aren't they just throwing themselves away?
THIS! Damn litterbugs...and you would be amazed at how many of these individuals will boast about how "organized and neat & tidy" they are as well as their homes,, their car...Yeah ok so whenever these ppl grab a bite from the Drive Thru they will find a spot to park & eat. Then right before they start their vehicle to leave, that's when it happens! They toss their trash out the window and drive off. They will also blame it on the homeless and impoverished. Example: right down my street about 6 blocks are two small apartment buildings.behind these apartments is a Creek where you can also see homeless ppl. Now I'm not about to say that some homeless ppl aren't trashy. Just know that not all of them are. And if I could show you a few videos, I most definitely would. Picture apartment maintenance crew being instructed to "throw this out back. No one will even notice that this s**t came from here, they'll just think it's because of the homeless." - my happening upon that part was sheer luc
Sadly that's how most of our bushfire here is Australia start. Idiots throwing them out the car window
Load More Replies...I don't understand why some people don't get 'picking up after yourself'. Are people that stupid? Or are they arrogant beyond belief? Literally raised in a barn? What POSSIBLE excuse IS there for littering?? Answer: there IS NO EXCUSE for littering!!![😡😡🤬
Do not leave out the spent cigarette bott tossed out at red lights ...
I had a friend in college who was a smoker (I'm not getting into people who toss their butts on the ground)- every time we went into a convenience store or gas station and she bought a new pack of cigs, shed pull off the cellophane wrapping and toss it on the ground as she walked to her car. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Small actions have large impacts over time. Especially on a large scale. A society that prioritizes cleanliness and educates its citizens to properly dispose of their litter is going to be tidier than one that doesn’t enforce any standards.
One 2020 study, conducted by Keep America Beautiful, found that there are 50 billion pieces of litter along the roadways and waterways in the United States. The upside? There’s been a 54% decrease in litter along American roadways in the past decade. This might mean that society as a whole has been developing a more responsible outlook toward (not) littering.

Load More Replies...Some jerk was doing that in a movie theater the other day. I think we all flipped the guy off for it.
Once, when someone was holding a particularly loud conversation with someone on her phone, I started to take part in that conversation. It had the desired effect: the person got up and left to have her conversation with no other people present, leaving me to enjoy some peace and quiet in the park.
It is so annoying and like you dont want strangers overhearing your conversation
Apparently some people do not care, or do not know the meaning of the word "private", because I've heard *really* private conversations in public places. The funny thing is, I live in a town where mostly everybody knows mostly everybody else, so... Once I overheard this cheap girl talking about her married boyfriend, and giving so many details I knew who she was talking about. She was trashing the wife and kids, too, so obviously *he* told her all those horrible things about his wife. He is bastard, and the wife is one of my best friends. They divorced soon after, and I'm proud to admit it was "my fault".

Not picking up after their dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree, but there are extenuating circumstances on this one. The elderly, you know who I'm talking about. Frail, hunched over, shuffling their feet, can barely move, but still trying their darndest to take care of their dog by walking them. They can't bend over for that. The other is a wheelchair user/disabled person. Sometimes my service dog goes to the end of her leash into the grass. My wheelchair can't get that far in so I can pick up after her. I try to have my husband/brother/son with me but that isn't always possible. If you see someone struggling to bend over and pick it up, help them out
This one is so infuriating. The other one is when the whole neighbourhood has to listen to barking dogs all day and night because of the negligence and boredom. I don't know which one I hate more.
To help you out, in the US we spell it diarrhea. There are some countries that spell it differently but I couldn't tell you what they are or how they spell it :) Also, I have had one person come to my door and ask to use the water hose to wash it out of my lawn when their dog had diarrhea on their walk past my house

How they treat service workers or employees around them.
If someone is mean and disrespectful to someone just trying to do their job, that's a red flag for an insufferable a*****e.
I tend to get involved if I'm near enough. I did 20 years in retail and you could not pay enough to go back
It's disgusting. They belittle them for their jobs all the while needing them to serve their rude entitled butts
Can't stand people that treat people that work in the service industry like garbage
My father once proudly (!!) told me a story of about how he threatened to fire a man who had his foot up on his (own) desk so he could tie his shoe. He said it was disrespectful to him and he actually thought I would find this impressive. I really found it appalling.
Buddhist philosophy ... if you want someone to be happy, be nice to them. If YOU want to be happy, be nice to others. Infallible.
As a retail worker myself, I know somewhat of the stress that service workers can go through when dealing with the public. They're just regular people just trying to work a job to help pay their bills, and they don't get paid nearly enough to deal with people giving them a hard time.
Kindness is both a habit and a part of being human. People are hardwired to want to help each other. At the same time, we also have the instinct for survival and selfishness. So these two different instincts are constantly at odds within ourselves. What wins out will depend on your upbringing, values, and the specific situation you’re in.
Barring literal sociopathy, being more altruistic is something that nearly everyone can learn, given enough patience and effort. But change has to start with the person in question. They have to realize that their behavior, as things currently stand, is having a thoroughly negative impact on the people around them—not just strangers, but also their family and friends.
Taking up 2 parking spaces
Or pulling your mini-monster-truck up onto the curb because "heh heh truck".
The monster pickups that tailgate you at 70 mph. Invariably has a gun rack. And a MAGA cap.
Load More Replies...Creating parking spots just to be closer to the door, etc. is also maddening. They use the marked off spots in parking lots (those yellow lines), park up on the grass, squeeze in a space in a parking garage that iis clearly not a parking spot, and just randomly parking along the curb in a lot. I was blocked in at a concert one time because a guy decided to park on the grass and until he backed out, I could not.
Ironically, this behavior seems to be the result of internalized micro-penis shame. So it’s those with minimally-sized d***s behaving like huge d***s. 😜
Load More Replies...I did this ONCE. Drove ny f350 to Alexandria , Virginia. This was before SUVs and the trend was smaller, not bigger. Had to park in parking garage. I drove around looking for a space and none were big enough. Flagged an attendant , he said this was it. So i found an empty corner and took 4 spots. Length and width too big. I still feel guilty after 35 years.
That reminds me of something. Here in Germany we were not prepared for US SUVs. Our streets and parking lots are smaller than in the US. Nevertheless, we now have large American cars and if it says at the front of the parking garage that there is still something free, then in reality there is often nothing left because the large cars need 1½ parking spaces. You still have to pay the fees for the parking garage, otherwise you won't be able to get out.
Having a cool car does not give you the right to park like a douchebag.
My daily car is small enough and my parking skills good enough that I can park within two inches of their car door, and I have. I've seen some people online wonder out loud "why do people park right next to my car?!?!?", maybe you did a crappy parking job and someone wanted the extra space you tried to take up. Have fun getting out, oh and I have cameras.
or parking in a disabled spot when you are not disabled even late in the eve or on Sundays
They don't wash their hands after using the bathroom, *especially* after number 2
I’ve always been a hand-washer, but years ago I watched an episode of “1,000 Ways To Die” and one of them was about a woman who went poop in (I think) the toilet of a bar. She didn’t wash her hands. The bar bathroom was massively unhygienic and she ended up getting sepsis and dying. I got even MORE thorough about washing my hands after that episode XD
Load More Replies...I did that once whilst leaving a bathroom and some woman commented saying my mom raised me right. It's not entirely accurate but thank you random citizen
Load More Replies...Yep, just gross! I called someone out at work for not washing her hands the other day. She looked at me as though I was the gross one
I pulled up a work colleague for not washing his hands after peeing, his response "I didn't p155 on them"
I hate this particular topic. Yes, I wash my hands, because it is the hygienic thing to do. Specifically wash them before I touch my junk, because they’ve (my hands, not my privates) been all over public transit handrails and door knobs and other absolutely disgusting, pathogen – covered places. Yeah, it’s gross not to wash your hands after going to the bathroom. It’s even grosser to not wash your hands after touching any public surface. I promise you that there is more fecal matter on our hands from Target shopping cart handles or subway/bus hand rails than there is from going to the bathroom. Let’s bring awareness to the real grossness!

Make fun of others. Period. It doesn't matter WHY you are making fun of them. If you are mocking someone, you are trash.
People who grew up in neglectful or stressful environments might be focused more on survival and don’t feel like they have the luxury of altruism. Meanwhile, someone who’s been spoiled most of their life might assume that there will always be someone to pick up after them. Through practice, however, everyone can become more aware of their faults and slowly change for the better. One small act of kindness after another small act of kindness.
You can start with something very small, like throwing out your trash in a garbage bin, instead of letting it flutter down on the pavement as usual. Try smiling more at the people you meet, say ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye.’ Thank them if they’ve brought you your lunch, scanned your items at the shop, or opened a door for you. These might seem like insignificant things, but they quickly add up and create an entirely new attitude. In short—you’re showing that you’re aware of the people around you and that you’re grateful for them.
People who make fun of somebody poor/struggling. Hurts my soul so much when they don't even know your going through the same stuff or once we're. Be humble, not everybody has it as good as you.
Always keep in mind the a*s you kick on the way up may very well be the a*s you have to kiss on the way down.
I try to measure people against themselves. I had to think about that. One example, a friendly charming panhandler on the street has a place to live now, but used to be a homeless drug addict. He's unlikely to get a regular job, but his present life is a major improvement over his past one.
Who are these people???? I would never even think to make fun of someone like this. The only instance in which I find myself being critical is if I know they are purposefully staying “poor” in order to get benefits. Sadly I really do know some people doing this, so it exists.
Unfortunately where I'm from the system is set up in a way that they encourage people to stay poor. Basically they help you, which is great, but if you make anything over a certain threshold (even a small amount) then you are cut off completely. Sorry but I don't think that the extra $1,000 a year is making a significant difference. Thus basically encouraging people to stay below the threshold. I personally believe they should have tiered programs where if you make over they give you 90% of benefits if you make more 80% and so on. Something like that would not have people scared to succeed. It would give them the security of doing better for themselves without losing everything until they are actually in a position to do so.
Load More Replies...I used to work for a rich couple. They did not seem any happier than poorer people. In fact, they had so many worries. All the things they owned needed maintenance, they had very little free time because they worked all the time to keep their posh life and they were always comparing to other people and feeling unsatisfied if someone else had more/better then them. I prefer a simple life.
Money doesn't buy happiness. Poverty doesn't buy anything.
Load More Replies...It’s the American Puritan idea that is still in force, today. If you are poor, if you are struggling then it must obviously be your fault, you have failed morally. But if you are rich…really, really rich, then you must be a, “good person” (in the eyes of the lord, how could it be otherwise), no matter what you have done, and who, or what you have had to destroy to get that Penthouse Suite.
This is accurate. The wealthy are "blessed" and the poor have made poor choices or are "lazy"--yet what did Jesus say about rich men getting into heaven?
Load More Replies...Context, people. Context is so important. Even successful, genuinely self-made people (emphasis on self-made and not from money), whether they’ll admit it or not, all experienced setbacks and struggles on their way up. So you have no idea of the context of someone’s life when all you see is a picture or a glimpse of them in passing. They may have come from poverty and are trying to pull themselves out of it, or they were successful but experienced a huge setback and are trying to climb back up. When all you see is the right now this minute of their lives and not the full context, you have no idea where they are on the ladder. Most people turn out just fine, and can live happily, safely, and securely, even if they have to scale down and live less luxurious lives than they used to. Not one bit of that is anything to make fun of. If anything, it should prompt you to think about whether YOU would sink or swim if it happened to YOU, and to admire the grit and determination of those in those situations instead of laughing at them. Always turn someone else’s situation around and apply it to yourself first, before you judge and jeer.

Throws garbage somewhere in nature instead of throwing it into a trash can like a civilized person should.
I once went to a nature conversation area with my mom and someone had dumped bags and bags of trash out like it was a dump. It’s extremely disrespectful to nature.
I went to Oregon once to meet my bf at the times family and friends (during my college years) and we went on a walk along a trail with one of his friends. The guy pulled a decent chunk of rubber that was peeling from his shoe and just dropped it on the trail. I picked it up, of course, and tried to jokingly be like "that's not cool." But it's kinda crazy considering how much of a big deal the guy and his social circle made of recycling and stuff, just to toss his trash on the trail like a heathen. Glad that one didn't work out. ETA: if you pack it in, pack it out. And feel free to grab any extra you see on the way.
We went camping with another couple and were out hiking. She smoked and had her cigarettes with her. She'd finish it, make sure it was out, and drop the butt on the trail. I was walking behind her and picked it up without saying anything. Can't remember how many times I did it but she finally noticed and kept them in her pocket to throw away properly.

I was hiking in a BEAUTIFUL REMOTE place and I looked around, saw water bottles. Pick up your trash. You're disgusting and disrespectful to the beautiful nature.
Right. I can't believe we have uncivilised people walking amongst us in a civilised society. It's an abomination in the eyes of "Bob".
If you’re struggling with empathy for others or facing your own flaws, you may want to consider taking up meditation or going to therapy. Meanwhile, if you’re constantly stressed out and lashing out at others, it might be time to make some major lifestyle changes.
You might not actually be a jerk, but a poor diet, too much caffeine, chronic exhaustion, constant overtime, and the stress of your job may be bringing out the worst in you if you’re constantly on edge. As with kindness, these lifestyle changes are best tackled step by step, until you become the person you truly want to be.

The flight attendant passed by and said “You’re going to have to check that”, but was heading to the back of the plane for some other reason, so didn’t stop. The woman asked if I would move out of my aisle seat (that I paid for) so she could try to fit the carry-on under the seats in front of us. I moved out into the aisle, she tried shoving her bag under the seat in front of her (window seat); it wouldn’t fit. She next shoved it under the area in front of my seat. It fit, so she sat down in my seat and said, “Great! This will work.” I said, “Except that I want my aisle seat back.” She gave me a dirty look and huffed back to her window seat, wedged her bag as far under the seat as she could, then threw her jacket over her legs so the flight attendants couldn’t see her bag didn’t fit. They never made her check her bag, so it worked out for her, I guess.

They are exhausting to be around, and their families just don’t tell them much more than the basics, because they just don’t feel like arguing endlessly about insignificant details, imagined slights, or figments of the arguer’s imagination. These are not popular people. If they’re wealthy, they may be tolerated, but they are also avoided when possible, and utterly despised by those who have no choice but be around them. It’s part of the reason I left home at 18, and went full no contact with my parents. BTW, I’m 62 now, and it was the best decision of my life.

I went back to Walgreens to return it and the cashier said that they don't take refunds on gift cards.. I had a huge meltdown aimed at the unfortunate cashier. I yelled at her about how stupid that policy is like it was her fault. About 5 minutes after leaving the embarrassment set in. That poor girl! I was such an asshat! When I got home I called the store and apologized profusely to her. I explained that I was having a bad day and she just happened to be there at my last straw. She was so sweet and understanding!

Grocery clerk here- I'm paid by the hour and I need the fresh air, so as long as it's up on the curb so it doesn't roll into cars, I don't mind. But that's also just my opinion.

BTW, this is the rationalization lazy trashy people use to justify not putting their cart away more than it is an actual truth.
Load More Replies...And even MORE SO if they leave the cart(s) in the middle of parking spaces
Someone put it well about this (and the not throwing trash away deal): If you are too big to do the small things, then you are too small to do the big things.
I am conflicted over this. Part of me agrees. But at supermarkets where I live, there are people whose job is collecting trollies. They have hi-vis vests and a truck with a big long tralier for the trollies. Pretty s****y job, sure - and I'm sure the pay is similar - but at least it is a job?
Theyd still have a job. They move the ones in the car park trolley bays to the ones by the entrances

Theyre pregnant and still havent gotten their first kid back from grandma.
It’s a possibility I didn’t consider and something we should keep in mind before judging others. But, that said, I have certainly seen some women choosing and trying to get pregnant even though they don’t have custody of their other children. They want to be moms but they are not able to appropriately care for a child.

There is a woman I worked with who got pregnant age 16 immediately dumped her son to her parents then partied as always and got pregnant 5 more times 4 different baby daddies. Her daughter’s teeth were so jacked from the soda can in a bottle she gave them and her first son HATES her. When she finally settled on the last baby daddy (and they moved to a suburban area) so she needed to fit in with the families she tried to get her now teen son to move in (more to help raise her kids) he told her to F OFF and rightly so. You get ONE chance at parenthood if you prove you can’t do it , STOP! She didn’t want an abortion cause she wanted to “keep that man to myself” newsflash NEVER works. And she had crack addicts for babies 2&3 as the sperm donors. Laughs on her she’s early 40s and a grandma. Her daughter DELIBERATELY got pregnant to “spite her” which is why our country is so effed! A poo innocent baby is born out of spite to a teen mum.

Has no one heard of birth control? I get so frustrated at people who just randomly have kids whenever and with whomever. Just prevent it so you don't have to make an abortion choice if you think that's wrong.
I don't agree with this one there are multiple reasons why you would not have a child your first child and we are who are we to judge
They're grandparents and take in a newborn grandchild at 50+ (with their own major health problems) against the adult child's wishes for adoption for the baby because of the adult pregnancy being from a parent of mental illness or addiction. I've seen this 2x and the grandchild suffers with the grandparents health issues when being deprived of a young childless couple who could adopt and give this baby a great life
I'm sorry I see some comments trashing people that have abortions because of the religion or they believe whatever that f**k they believe. Just want to point out so you would rather kill a mother who was dying from the baby?? It's not your choice it's not your decision so mind your own f*****g business
Leaves trash on table at fast food restaurants
Wait til you're bussing a table and find a dirty diaper AT THE TABLE. Yeah, they changed the baby at the table. Saw it a few times working front of house.
My god are you serious? Who does that? That's disgusting
Load More Replies...Nope! Sorry, but this is very much part of the job for which you are paid. After customers depart, the employee is supposed to go clean up trash, which includes sweeping up under the table and seating, as well as disinfect the table AND seats. That was STANDARD practice 26 years ago when i got my very first McJob at 14. It was also common practice for those doing so woof down any leftover fries or nuggets that were left sitting out because everyone overorders when they play sit down in a fast food place. Any other restaurant in which you go inside and sit down, you're not clearing your own mess, and cleanup is often handled by people paid considerably less than the average fast food employee. You're literally complaining about having to do the thing you are being paid to do. And no, that i'm making this argument does not mean that i don't clean up after myself when i happen into a fast food place once every 3 years, but i am very much doing the employees a favor that is not required.
As a current McDonald's employee (though, I'm only drive-thru and dishes), I have to agree; although, I had to had that customers (especially older teens and adults and those who can look after themselves) /should/ have a bit more courtesy and respect for public places, such as cleaning up a spot of mayo on the table or, at least, not making a magnificent, childish mess (unless, of course, you are a young kid). However, I must add that I did see an article or something that employees prefer it if customers didn't throw stuff away because there are certain things that employees need to separate for trash and recycles.
Load More Replies...And then they say they did it for the workers' sake to ensure they have work to do...
Putting dirty diapers in the back of someone else’s truck is just as bad
I practically bus the table myself, collect trash, dishes and cups stacked, flatware in a cup, wipe the table to get the crumbs, etc. I even go under the table if i dropped food. I can't leave a table messy like that
worst thing i ever found at a table at work was a used condom in a mug. which i didn't discover until i put my hand in the cup to remove the contents. i practically burned my hands washing them afterwards.
Once again, it's wrong, but people earn a wage for cleaning those tables.
In the case of McD fries, safer to leave them on the table than to eat them.

Trash, usually. My neighbours moved in 18 months ago, since they arrived their garbage has been spilling out onto the street, their front yard filled with an ever growing collection of abandoned kitchen appliances. They throw their regular trash into my recycling bin, loudly at 2am, laughing while they do so and dump their furniture out on the street in front of mine and other people's yards, again loudly and whilst laughing at 2am. They seem to add nothing to the world but noise, antisocial behaviour and garbage.

I am sure the local authorities will do something about that if you notify them.

Smokes while pregnant.
I smoked for a long time and when my husband and I decided to try and have a baby I quit smoking right away. I didn't want to be pregnant and struggling not to smoke. It took me 6 months to get pregnant and by that time I had quit smoking for 6 months.
Great job! It’s really hard to stop an addiction sometimes
Load More Replies...How do you say, “I smoked during my pregnancy” without saying “I smoked during my pregnancy?”

Yeah, but you shouldn't risk your baby's life just because you can't quit a disgusting habit
Load More Replies...Learning I was pregnant was the only successful time I quit cold turkey. I took my pregnancy test in the bathroom at work - the urgency to know right away made me not want to wait to get home to take it. When the positive result showed up (and after processing emotions of excitement, fear, etc), I handed the rest of my Marlboro lights to my coworker who was a smoker. She gave me a peculiar look, which quickly changed to a smile and an “ahhh… I think I know!” look.
Whoa that lady in the picture’s shirt is giving me an optical illusion when I scroll
I love my mother, and I know first-hand how powerful nicotine addiction is, so I forgive her. (COPD is punishment enough...) Though looking back, smoking while pregnant is quite literally the root of nearly all my problems, physically, mentally and now, financially. Caused birth defects and exacerbated genetic mental illnesses to the point where most of my life until nearly age 40, I wish almost daily that I was aborted.
When my mother was pregnant with me, it was perfectly acceptable for pregnant women to smoke. However, as a result I weighed 5 pounds at birth, resulting in the need for me to be in an incubator at the hospital, for the first week of my life.
It’s not fair to the innocent life they are claiming they want to bring into the world.

I was recently on vacation in New Orleans and this woman who was staying at our hotel was telling a story to her adult daughter and (I assume) another family member about her very active sex life. The entire pool area could hear it. She went into detail that she and her husband were so intimate that he would shave her a**l area.
So that.
another thing to remember is not everything everyone says is true and sometimes say things to be noticed.
Oh, I would have sooo much fun there! I’d shout to her from where I’m sitting, “Got any tips for someone wanting to shave his bottom?” and asking how [this act and that act; whatever she described] went and how they like to do it (with details). In other words, I’d VERY loudly let her know that everyone within earshot was now an expert in her sex life.
Ooooh. Sharm El Sheik, a group of guys sitting down from us giggling and looking just past us, had a look, a larger German lady was sunbathing and her costume had ridden up, there were some very large meaty curtains on display to all and sundry. How do you subtly tell someone something like that?
It's not easy to do it yourself. Do you think she should have paid a stranger to do it?
Getting in fights in public places. This just screams Trashy people
hm, depends? Full on fistfights? I agree. But verbal fights/arguments? Eh, sometimes you just can´t wait until home.
I had a public meltdown years ago and my husband walked away (I don't blame him). Bless the stranger at the next table who talked to me. I was feeling suicidal and his kindness prompted me to go home to my husband instead of heading into a remote place. Lordy the onions are strong today!

Swearing at kids
This is definitely a cultural thing, Americans especially seem very funny about swearing and get very offended. Swearing is totally normal where I'm from, everyone swears a lot (not necessarily swearing 'at' kids but just swearing in general.) Most parents I know don't mind if their kids swear as long as it's in the right context and not aimed at anyone. (Eg. Saying the f word after stubbing their toe is fine, telling someone to f*** off is not OK.) The only people who ever get offended by swearing here in Scotland are old ladies and Karens)
It's similar to nudity on TV. In USA, showing nipples on TV is a huge scandal for many people, unlike a lot of European countries where semi-nudity on TV is common and no big deal. There's no data correlating increased media nudity with increased rates of sexual assault, but the way people reacted over Janet Jackson's nipple, you'd think it heralded the end times and Sodom and Gomorrah all over again.
Load More Replies...Definitely a US thing. US citizens seem to have odd priorities. Swearing, nudity, drinking, are frowned upon, these days even appreciation and understanding of art and history is under fire, at the same time shrugging their shoulders at mass shootings with responses of "prayers" and more guns. Crazy.
I learned how to swear properly as a kid from my parents (in both English and German). Some accents benefit from a bit of sweary punctuation.
Here in Spanish Harlem, it’s common to hear mothers screaming at their kids in the stroller starting out with “You little motherf—ing c—-sucker!” and escalating from there. 🤬 FFS, the kid can’t even speak yet and you’re spewing your bile at it?! And then people wonder why people today have no manners, no motivation, and no self-esteem. I don’t like kids myself, but I sure as hell don’t wanna see people sh¡tting on ‘em! It pains me terribly to see it. I swear I’d cheer if authorities showed up, plucked the kid out of the stroller, and took him away from the wretch.
I saw a man calling his child, who must have been all of four, a little c* in anger, repeatedly. My stupid feet were walking over to have a word with him, luckily a pair of PCSOs were crossing over from the other side of the street, so I never got my head punched
Load More Replies...I can understand maybe the odd slip like c**p or shite but that's it. Its not nice to hear every 2nd word a swear word
Yes. And, kids pick up this sort of language quickly and use it in the correct context. First time it happened with my daughter I explained that kids should not say that and adults shouldn't either. Told her daddy and I would be careful not to use bad words but she was allowed to say "No! Bad Word!" if she caught us doing so. Decades later, I still rarely swear. Well, sometimes to myself but that's about it.
