Social Question

Jude's avatar

Are there individuals with a particular personality type that you have a hard time getting along with?

Asked by Jude (32198points) December 16th, 2009

The cocky fellow, the know-it-alls, the male chauvinists, those of a few words, the show offs, those who tend to play the victim, Debbie Downers.. which of these tends to rub you the wrong way the most? Or, perhaps there is another personality type that I didn’t mention. Basically, you have a hard time gelling with these people. And, if you have to interact with them on a daily basis, it sucks. Perhaps, you do your best not to have these people in your life. Maybe, they remind you of your Dad.

Or, are you the type of person who doesn’t let those mentioned above get to you/ you tend to get along with most people?

Can’t stand show-offs, braggarts, people who talk ill of someone behind their back

I hate know-it-all. My BIL was like that. He had an answer to everything (or so he thought). I also have a sister-in-law like that. We never see each other. Wonder why?

erichw1504's avatar

Those who are condecending everyone around them.

tinyfaery's avatar

I can get along with anyone, but people who are control freaks or constant complainers really get me down. I also don’t like to be around those who like to talk shit about others.

Ivy's avatar

Controlling people and people with an agenda (for me) are at the top of my list.

♥those who are condescending everyone around them
♥show-offs
♥know-it-alls
♥controlling people or people that tell me what to do even though they have no rank over me

I used hearts for bullets to try to cool myself down :)

CMaz's avatar

I hate women that think they have their shit together and the only thing they have is a sweet piece of ass.

DrasticDreamer's avatar

People who are too controlling and think they know the answer to everything really irritate me. I don’t mind when people have opinions about practically everything, but if you can’t even admit that you might be wrong… Grr! Those who are condescending for no reason also bug the crap out of me.

People who don’t recognize that I have more intelligence in my massive penis than they do in their entire brain.

CMaz's avatar

@75movies – You sick bastard!

Jude's avatar

You know what irks me, people who go on about the fact that they have a massive penis.

;-)

CMaz's avatar

Hey, you two get a room!

75movies's avatar

Did I say massive? I meant gargantuan.

@jbfletcherfan you may want to check under @75movies for that shovel. Oh, wait, maybe you don’t…

The ME Monster – (see Brian Regan, the comedian) – a guy who always has to “one up” you on every story you tell.

You had your wisdom teeth pulled? He had FOUR impacted wisdom teeth at the same time, and they were sticking out of his mouth like Boar’s tusks. AND they pulled ‘em with NO pain killers!

gemiwing's avatar

Only about 98.53% of people on the internet.

anoop66's avatar

@stratman37 ah the “one up” guys, who can forget them

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@jmah LOLL…I have my brave suit on. How about you?

OpryLeigh's avatar

Know-it-alls definately rub me up the wrong way.

Overly religious or overly athiest people who are so convinced that they are right that they talk down to or refuse to even listen to people who’s opinion differs from theirs.

I know I shouldn’t say this but I also find pathetic or drippy women slightly irritating. This doesn’t mean that I won’t try and get along with them or that they are as bad as the personality types I mentioned above but they irk me. I am also aware that what is considered as pathetic or drippy is different in everyones opinions so I can’t really explain to you what my idea of that is but as soon as a meet someone that I consider drippy I want to roll my eyes in despair.

Jude's avatar

@jbfletcherfan Well, apparently we need a forklift. I’m in. Luckily, I’ve only had a light lunch. I’ll be able to stomach’er.

This is coming from a chica who is not a big fan of the peen.

Buttonstc's avatar

Addicts. I don’t need them in my life at all. I put my time in in the salt mines of that whole scene in childhood. Now as an adult I have the choice to no longer deal with them

People who are OCDishly neat and tidy and try to control everyone around them to be the same way. I’m very clean, but just not that neat. I’d prefer to spend my time on people rather than things.

75movies's avatar

You guys will be alright, it doesn’t bite.

Jewel's avatar

Cliqueish types. Fashionista. Anyone who judges others because of their physical appearance or social contacts and supposed status. I think the accepted term for these types is Snob. They can do so much damage to others and base it on such a flimsy idea.

jbfletcherfan's avatar

@jmah Did you see that? @75movies says it doesn’t bite. Well, hell. ’-) LOL

Jude's avatar

@jbfletcherfan A one-eyed anaconda not biting? I don’t know…Ah, I’ll be brave. ;-) I’ll be donning my Carhartt coveralls, btw, because, ew. haha

Silhouette's avatar

Pushy people. I guess they are called bullies.

Cruiser's avatar

Narcissists, know it all’s and Yapper’s who won’t stop talking. Worst is when you run across someone who is all 3!

Spirit_of_the_Nomad's avatar

I don’t let people get to me, I mostly try to make a note of the personalities that do rub me the wrong way and use them as a sort of guide of behaviors to avoid in myself. Everyone has their own little quirks and flaws so I try not to hold anything against them I just understand that person X behaves in a particular manner and I can either accept them for their flaws or simply avoid them. I’m sure I have an annoying trait or two so I try to be extremely forgiving to personality flaws in others and where I can’t I just keep contact to a minimum.

Poopy's avatar

Fake, I do not do fake.

UScitizen's avatar

Absolutely yes. My job exposes me to many know-it-all ass holes. I have learned to be repulsed by the know-it-all type.

JustPlainBarb's avatar

Arrogant people and phonies are huge turnoffs for me.

HighShaman's avatar

I can usually get along with just about anyone…

Howevr; there are times when I can’t get along with someone… so I stay away from that person…

gradyjones's avatar

I get along with most people but I do avoid people that complain a lot just because I get tired of listening to it.

rooeytoo's avatar

Patronizing male chauvinists, know it alls, those who have owned a couple of dogs in their lifetime and are expert trainers and behaviorists and most of all those who will not allow a dissenting opinion, I am right and you must agree with me!!!

Usually, I just shake my head and walk away, but sometimes…... it drives me crazy!!!

Sarcasm's avatar

People who care too much about their appearance.
People who refuse to learn.
People who can’t realize when they’re bad at something.

rooeytoo's avatar

@Sarcasm – I like your third one, sometimes that is a hard realization to reach! I couldn’t possibly not be good at this!

Berserker's avatar

I really have a hard time with Fundamentalist Christians and other assorted godgobbers who start rattling off scriptures when I say the word fuck.

Blondesjon's avatar

@Blondesjon and @daloon.

he’s always getting his sad ass chocolate in my James Bond peanut butter.

chyna's avatar

People that can’t just say what they mean. They have to allude to what they mean, talk all around an issue, and expect someone to understand in 500 words or more what should have taken 1 sentence to say plainly.

Vintage55's avatar

passive-aggressive narcissists devious little sidewinders

Oxymoron's avatar

I hate when people have a huge ego.

Haleth's avatar

I can’t get along with bossy people or anyone who raises their voice. I rarely feel angry myself, so I can’t understand where it comes from in other people.

Merriment's avatar

Mean people. They really do suck.

NaturalMineralWater's avatar

Yes…

1. the bossy boss
2. the know-it-all or the overly opinionated
3. the I’ve-got-a-story-that-tops-that Guy
4. mean people.. of course
5. Leprechauns .. me and them don’t get along at all.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

Religious nuts, sexist idiots, push-overs – you know the kind that will never stand for anything, ever.

i HATE people who have to always try and tell a better story than the one you just told.

braggers.

people looking to pick a fight about everything you say.
boring people in general.

People that commit douchebaggery.

broncosgirl's avatar

*People who constantly think they need to play “the devil’s advocate”
*Arrogant people
*Women who use their looks to get their way in life (hey I’m cute, but I have a brain too!)
****People who treat animals badly (To me, they must be bad people)
*Snobs (aka people with money and look down on me for not having a trust fund)
I will get along with any smiling, kind person so long as they don’t bring me down! :)

chyna's avatar

@jonsblond Lurve for “douchebaggery!’

aprilsimnel's avatar

Control freaks. Hot-and-cold types.

I don’t really go out of my way to get along with people. If we don’t hit it off pretty soon, I just move on.

Pandora's avatar

1.hot heads

4.people who blame everyone else for their miserable luck but won’t do a dam thing to improve themselves or their situation (basically whiners)
5.extremely negative people
6.fanatics
7.cry babies
8. abusers
9. bigots
But on the very top of the list LIARS!

SCUMMY SALESMEN TYPES

Bullies and self centered people. =/

Rufus_T_Firefly's avatar

Indian-givers. No… I take that back.

YARNLADY's avatar

@Rufus_T_Firefly are you aware that term is offensive to Native Americans?

Rufus_T_Firefly's avatar

Sorry if it offends you, but I’m related to several native Americans who use the term liberally. Besides, they have a sense of humor and like a good Emo Philliips one-liner just as much as I do.

Berserker's avatar

@Rufus_T_Firefly You’re absolutely right. The most vile and racist Indian jokes I’ve ever heard came from Indians and Inuits themselves, and they all took it to good heart. I lived in Winnipeg for like 12 years, and they actually resented me being politically correct about what I should call them. I know it sounds racist to call them Indians-to anyone who’s not an Indian..

Rufus_T_Firefly's avatar

I will begin by apologizing for having a flexible sense of humor. I don’t see people in terms of color or race, I see the person and if that person also has a flexible sense of humor, so much the better. Television, movies and stand-up comedy are full of humor directed at my own white heritage and while some whites might take those jokes too seriously, I have learned to appreciate such humor from a wide variety of angles. My sense of humor doesn’t see color or race either. No offense was intended, if I have offended anyone, then I am truly sorry.

janbb's avatar

@Rufus_T_Firefly Ah, I’m just enjoying your avatar and screename. With that moniker, how could anyone not understand where you’re coming from?

bunnygrl's avatar

people who bully you or make you feel bad about yourself just to make themselves feel better about their own life. People who hurt you just because they can.
