Personality faults you tolerate/hate?

Post Reply New Topic

What personality faults do you tolerate fairly well? Mine are:

whiny people - there are much worse things a person can be
obsessive people (obviously, you know why)
lazy people (I dunno, I have to constantly fight my own laziness).

Traits I can't tolerate:
people who mark their territory (like with spitting in public, but in other ways too, it's difficult to explain)
self-righteousness

The self defense mechanism of people with low self esteem known as the "I'm number one" mechanism. Especially when the person has kids and tries to drill that into their heads.

This "Just because I'm older than you I know better than you" nonsense.

People who take the easy way out.

I have almost no tolerance for someone with huge disregards to life and for people who will save themselves over saving others.

lets see I can't stand people that try to push their emotion on others... i.e if they are having a bad day they have take everyone else down with them

Faults I don't mind:

Laziness
Poor typing
Not as nerdy as me

Faults I do mind:

Not able to converse with me on some of my interests. (you don't need to know them all... but at least some is a must)
Willful stupidity
Lying (especially to the point of it becoming a compulsion)




I'm sure there's more for both lists, but those are the ones off the top of my head.

Tolerate:

Low self-esteem (I suffer from it and so does everyone else in my family)
Being a slob (again, because I am one too)
Hyperactivity (I have 2 friends with ADHD, and their energy is a welcome contrast to my sluggishness)
Bad spelling/grammar


Can't Stand:

Being egotistical/Narcissism
Meanness
Laziness (especially in a potential romantic interest)
Selfishness

I feel like having a moan so I'm just gonna skip straight to some of my can'ts.....

mockery in place of humour. youknow the sort who's always making people laugh, but always at someone's expense. i know someone like that and just being around him for five minutes either makes me feel like crap or makes me really annoyed. everyone else loves him obvy.

people who are particularly outwardly and unabashedly competitive/boastful. this boy i went to school with makes me feel mad everytime i think of him. He hated the fact that I got better grades than him and made a point of how he would never date a girl who was smarter than he and always made stupid remarks. but with everyone else in the class he took great pleasure in bragging about his intellectual superiority/material possessions. who duz that.

girls who play dumb and are all manipulative in that annoying ditzy way. grow some ovaries, develop a real personality that will last longer than your tets, and avoid me until you have done so. i'm bored of hearing the same tired old conversations between m/fs.

liars. just ugh.

bad manners. i'm english, i was brought up well...so say your Ps & Qs and get to the back of the queue thank you very much.


ooh, that felt good. thanks pud.

Does chronic gum chewing qualify?

An occasional and reasonably brief chew is fine, but for some reason the sound gives makes me cringe, so constant mastication is barely tolerable.

Also, poor/non-existent cell phone etiquette - I've been tempted to buy a jammer for this purpose.

Dishonesty. Unreliability.

I'm always testing the waters in my dealings. If I see it I'll let it go if it's a weakness, but they may have lost some of my respect.

Someone who defaults on their agreement.

One experience: I sold my home theatre system to the young man across the street ( we were in early 20's) With an I.O.U. later. It never came around - confronted mother ( he lived at home, money came from her) She asked "WHERE did the money go?" He replied: " I confess I bought drugs with it."

Mothering, and too nosy.

That being said, I am sometimes too nosy.

That's why I hate it when people don't say anything.

Also, my little sister is too mothering and it is the most annoying thing in the world.

I say sorry but I don't need someone to say sorry to me.
