1.
People tend to give drunk people misbehaving a pass if they regularly do it, "Oh don't mind Tom, he's just drunk.” That just reinforces that toxic behavior. -
2.
The “customer is always right” attitude. -
3.
Verbally abusing minimum wage employees who don't make the rules. If I could change the laws tomorrow I'd encourage businesses to ban pieces of garbage like these that can't operate in public. The Starbucks barista shouldn't have to pay for your sh*tty attitude. -
4.
In the US, I'd say it's workplace bullying. And then the companies blame the victim and say things like, "Well, they just didn't fit in with the 'culture' here." I'm sure culture in some workplaces is important, but whenever I hear employers or recruiters talk about "culture" I just hear "abuse." -
5.
Smashing your spouse’s face into the wedding cake at your reception. -
6.
Not giving raises that AT LEAST keep up with inflation -
7.
Pretending that everyone has to be perfect 24/7. We can't have mistakes or bad days or just be an asshole without people grabbing their pitchforks. -
8.
Questioning people’s legitimate diagnoses as if you know more than their doctor -
9.
Pranking people disrespectfully -
10.
For your boss to contact you out of work hours for work reasons. Like, I’m not on your clock. You don't exist to me until Monday, bye. -
11.
Pressuring people into drinking with you because it's "socializing". -
12.
Shaming men for showing emotions. -
13.
Not caring how the dad is doing after pregnancy, I struggled with depression and no medical expert really gave a sh*t, brought it up and was met with eye rolls and "oh yeah it’s so hard for the dad" not saying it’s as hard but dads have emotions too -
14.
Constantly asking young people when they're having children -
15.
Humiliating your kids by making videos of you pranking/fooling them and then posting it online. -
16.
Overworking yourself and then collectively judging others who don't do the same -
17.
Burning yourself out for 'the hustle' and/ or 'the grind' -
18.
Influencers /social media and photoshopping the hell out of their bodies. -
19.
Taking your work with you on vacation. I mean if you enjoy working then that's your thing, but I get sick of people like going through paperwork and having meetings while on vacation. Like dude stop. -
20.
Expecting teenagers to know what they want to do with the rest of their lives. -
21.
Looking down on someone because of their job. -
22.
Deliberately misunderstanding what someone is saying so as to make it easier to argue with them -
23.
Oh my god, there’s this thing right now where some Latina women are like unashamed and calling themselves “tóxica”. They’re admitting their jealousy, their pettiness. And then there are guys, even calling their girlfriends toxic. “La tóxica de mi novia” but like it’s funny, like it’s cute and or just normal. I’ve seen SHIRTS labeled “tóxica”. It’s not cute. It needs to stop. -
24.
Trying to make people drink/smoke or drink/smoke more when they have firmly declined the offer. -
25.
"It was hard for me to get to where I am now, therefore it must also be hard for you"
