If you and I lived in a movie or TV series, then identifying some villain in our life would be as easy as shelling pears - after all, every time they appeared, that very strange, disturbing music would sound. Or, for example, in the classic epic fantasy, where all the bad guys, with rare exceptions, are ugly and accompany every second line with some demonic laughter.
But you and I live in real life, so these successful ways of determining not-so-nice persons, unfortunately, do not work. On the other hand, this is for the better - after all, the "villainous" musical theme could also be turned on when we appear in the frame ourselves... Be that as it may, people still have to rely on their own experience and the advice of other folks - such as, for example, in this collection of opinions from netizens.

They only talk about themselves and complain about every little thing. They also expect you to help them but they don’t give a damn when you’re in need.
Oh yeah and never apologising or being accountable for anything.

If they don't care about anyone or anything but themselves than that's usually a pretty good indicator.

If they treat family or staff members like s**t all the time
Edit: for the replies of examples of s****y families, responding to verbal abuse with more verbal abuse doesn’t solve anything, because verbal abuse is a sign that someone is a piece of s**t. So it’s not a good thing to stoop to someone’s level when they abuse you.
