People Divulge What They Have Absolutely No Sympathy For

We all have our limits, and there are some behaviors that are intolerable. I can tell you, for instance, that I have no sympathy for people who prey on the elderly.

What's wrong with these people? Can they not see how wrong it is to scam people who are older and considerably more vulnerable?

There are many other behaviors that annoy me but I'll leave it to others to elaborate further otherwise I'll be here all day!

People shared their thoughts with us after Redditor IndependentJeff123 asked the online community,

"What do you have no sympathy for?"

"People that demand..."

"People that demand respect from others but don’t give a damn about others in return."

Yes!

Co-signing this. Respect is a two-way street.

"People who throw tantrums..."

"People who throw tantrums and yell at minimum wage workers."

Even worse are people who have worked customer service jobs themselves and yet still treat others in the profession like crap!

"People who repeatedly..."

"People who repeatedly dodge accountability. For sure everything is not your fault, but nothing is not your fault either."

"Nothing is my fault. Unless it's something good. Then I did all of it. Just me. Nobody else."

Sound familiar?

"People who..."

"People who abuse/scam seniors."

DiamondPup

People who prey on the elderly are truly something else. It's awful.

"People who decide..."

"People who decide to have children/pets then not care for them/make them everyone else’s problem."

SpookyScaryLemon

We all know people like this. It's sad. I have neighbors who don't seem to take care of their dog. Why animal control has not done something about it yet is beyond me.

"Willful..."

"Willful ignorance."

[deleted]

Along with prideful ignorance. Those who reject what they know to be correct because they don’t like it or just don’t care.

"People who needlessly..."

"People who needlessly ridicule others appearance when they're just living their life."

CassielTenebre

The rock bottom of this are the people who make fun of others who are trying to lose weight at the gym. Leave them alone!

"Adults who..."

"Adults who harm or hurt children."

shmallkind

Especially adults in a trusted position that use that influence to mistreat, belittle and abuse children.

"Anyone who..."

"Anyone who takes undue advantage of the weakness of others."

OperationAdvanced531

Sadly, most people will jump at any chance to take advantage of others. There's a huge "Every man for himself" mentality out there.

"People who are rude..."

"People who are rude to servers or retail employees."

SecretTeaBrewer

They're the absolute worst. Don't treat someone taking care of you so badly. It says a lot.

Sadly, the human race is full of so many people with the capacity to annoy us or trouble us. And it's up to us to draw boundaries for our own peace of mind. Some behaviors are absolutely unacceptable.

Lauren Boebert Casts Doubt On Moon Landing During Wild Interview With Conspiracy Theorist

Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert was criticized after she seemingly agreed with the conspiracy theory that the moon landing was faked in a wide-ranging interview with conservative conspiracy theorist Alex Stein.

The segment began with the duo casting doubt on nuclear weapons—Boebert even joked about needing "tin foil"—and moved into weirder territory when Stein praised Boebert for "vibing" with him on the topic of the moon landing. Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax.

Rosie O'Donnell Calls Out Oprah For Attending Jeff Bezos' Wedding In Scathing Poem

Among the various celebrity hangers-on who attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's Venice wedding, the one that seemed to generate the most controversy was Oprah Winfrey.

After all, a woman known for her progressive politics whose entire ethos is about teaching people how to be their best selves, attending the wedding of man who directly funded a fascist regime dismantling our country before our eyes doesn't exactly add up.
