People Share Times They Knew They Weren't Going to Like Someone Within a Minute of Meeting Them
Human beings are social animals whose survival relies on cooperation. We as a species need relationships in order to thrive, and yet, sometimes we really can't freakin' stand each other. Sometimes you just don't like a person, and you know what? That's okay. Maybe we don't all need to get along. In a recent amusing Reddit thread, people shared times they knew within a minute of meeting someone that they weren't going to vibe. It's hard not to relate.

“Have you ever listened to a person talk for less than a minute and known you weren't going to get along with that person? What did they say?” Posted by u/DDelirium46

"I used to brag about my IQ score. It was off of a free internet test. I was 14.
I learned better." confessed u/Rootkit9208.
"No, 14 is a good score for the IQ test, keep telling everybody about it." joked u/Yugan-Dali. -

"'Oh are you talking about D&D? I love fantasy stuff.'" said u/Citadelvania.
"Damn I wish I had said that, but the most sane thing for me at that moment was just to get up and leave the lounge." said u/Lumisateessa. -

"People who try to force best friend vibes with everyone have 100% turned out to be creeps or psychos in my life. Like... Fuckin chill. We don't know each other and that's fine. We don't need inside jokes on the first day. I'm not 'literally your spirit animal.' Always comes off so transactional... Like, 'if I say the friendship things, I can get what I want from anyone!' No. Let it happen naturally, if we vibe we vibe. If we don't, cool." said u/WDoE.

"I hate people who do that. They don't listen to a thing you say, like they are counting how long they have to let you talk before they can butt in with their obviously superior comments." said u/speckledcreature.

"A girl that used to be my best friend is like this. It was the weirdest thing to see her bitch about all these people then have insta photos up a few days later with them. I didn't notice she did this until our friendship was on the line so I asked other people if she did this and they said yes too." said u/freezingkiss.

u/RogerSaysHi replied with a story about her grandfather, who was practically the opposite of the main character in u/singingsilence's post, "My Pappa would come into the restaurants that I worked in, I usually was his server, but once someone else got his table, my co-workers would fight to take him. My Pappa was a funny dude that left enormous tips and joked with everyone around him that was cool with it. He was one of those tall skinny guys that just looks like a guy you could talk to. I remember I had told him about one of my co-workers having a rough time of it, he came in, specifically requested her and then left her a hundred dollar bill as a tip. When I got home, he asked if she had gotten the tip. Of course she had, and then broken down hugging me, telling me that my grandfather was the best person she'd ever met. She wasn't wrong."
Now that's how you treat a server. -

"As a teacher, I can tell you who my least favorite parents are every year on day one. It's not the conservative parents or liberal parents. It's not the Christians or the Pagans. It's the parents who tell me they don't read / hate to read.
One of the go to questions I ask during the get to know you time is if they've read anything interesting over the summer. I get parents who tell me about fun beach reads or news articles. Some have read froo froo hippie mindfulness parenting books or spiritual self help books. All those parents are just fine.
The ones who say 'I don't like to read' are always, ALWAYS the hardest parents to work with. Their kids don't do homework. They look down on the academic concepts I'm trying to teach. They roll their eyes at parent meetings when I talk about the importance of experiential education or involved learning.
The crossover between kids who don't take school seriously and kids with a parent that tells me they don't read or hate reading is nearly an identical group of kids. Shockingly, the kids who grow up in homes that hate literacy are difficult students to teach" said u/InVodkaVeritas.
