30 Tiny Red Flags That People Say Reveal More About Someone Than You’d Expect

Mean about/to animals casually.

Someone who tosses trash out a car windows.

How they talk about people who are homeless, a******d, or been to prison.

They casually mock or dismiss other people''s feelings as "overreacting" or "too sensitive"without even trying to understand.

Slating someone behind their back… then being really nice to their face.

Red MAGA hat.

For other men, speaking derogatorily to me about women. I might laugh and act like it’s nothing depending on the remark, but I instantly lose respect for them and want to avoid them. I’ve never met a guy that did that and was still worth a s**t.

Edit: To the comments calling me out as a an enabler or having no backbone and conviction in my morals, I hope you fight your irl battles with as much presumption and high moral standing. I can see how I could’ve worded it better, as I was thinking of work situations where it was people that I had to just roll my eyes with. Because when I confront people, it never comes across as calm or civil. I’ve gotten fired for standing my ground on issues with this before. You think men like that can be taught with words? You think they act in good faith? I’d be happy to handle it with violence, but that’s not a way to stay a productive member of society or provide for my family. I feel foolish being this upset off a reddit comment, but I don’t appreciate having my character attacked by people who don’t know me.

They don’t clean up their dog’s s**t in public places.

Selfishness. When they are only concerned about their own time, needs, feelings and wants. They don't care how much they hurt or disrespect you as long as they get what they want in the end.

Always finding a way to turn the conversation back to themselves no matter the situation/topic/group.

People who casually and consistently break small rules or do small but objectively bad things, and don't understand when it makes other people uncomfortable or get annoyed and try to justify it through a bunch of word-salad.

Every time I've encountered someone like that, they've turned out to be either extremely dishonest and untrustworthy, or in the worst cases, it was them "testing" limits to see what other bigger-- and much worse-- things they could get away with. *("Oh, I can get away with breaking all these little rules at work... so I'll just actually steal money from the register next time and try to blame it on someone else!")*.

Habitual gaslighting of others when there’s any sort of pressure on them.

Refering to women as "females".

They bring "foreigners" into the conversation somehow as if to blame them for everything.

 Casually lying about something.

Being rude to the wait staff. But maybe that’s not a “small” red flag, actuakky.

They don’t return their shopping carts.

Their tone changes based on who they are speaking to.

Someone may be disrespectful to one person they view as below them but respectful to someone else they view as above them.

Mean to people if lower economic status.

Laughing at someone else’s pain.
