There are certain behavioral traits that can instantly tell you everything about a person without even sharing two words with them.

The way they hold themselves, the frequency with which they smile, and how they interact with others could reveal everything you may need to know about them, particularly their manners

Outrageous as it may seem, even the most minute detail could be all it takes to expose an individual's manners or lack thereof.

Indeed, while some people might not realize that they are behaving in a rude or inappropriate manner, others might be more aware of it, but make no effort to improve their behavior.

No matter how much side-eye is being unleashed upon them.


Redditor Fonzie1225 was curious to hear the dead giveaways of people having a complete lack of manners, leading them to ask:
"What is one thing that instantly makes you think 'this person has no manners'?"

Control Your Children!

'People who let their kids run around in a movie theater, kick the back of your seat repeatedly, and hang on you."-- curious_cat123456

" Parents who let their children run rampant anywhere."

"I've seen parents watch as their kid pops their fingers through every package of meat at the grocery store and do nothing."

"Parents who let their kids kick a strangers shoe or other belongings."

"Letting the kids spit on windows and rub it with their hands."

"Letting them run around the store, playing with anything and everything and leaving a mess for others to clean and the parents literally just ignore it!"

"I never understood that."

"They really are your obligation, not the store associate who's unlucky enough to be working the shift you happen to stroll in during."

"Be a parent!"

"So i have a roommate who i’m entirely convinced has absolutely no manners whatsoever."

"For context, I live in the barracks, so i have no choice but to live with this guy."

"I have a million and a half stories about this guy, but i guess i’ll start with the basics."

"Doesn’t clean up after himself, and refuses to help clean, even if he’s a guest in someone else’s home."

"Chainsmokes/vapes in peoples cars, flicks ash 'out the window' but everyone knows that literally will just kick it back into the jeep. tries to constantly 'teach' people things, and will talk your ear off and basically just dominate the conversation."

"No listening or allowing for a different perspective."

"Motherf*cker literally introduced himself to me as 'the smartest man in any room' he plays music and sings in the shower at 4, 5, 6 in the morning and will take 45+ minute showers , 20 minutes to sit on the toilet and 25 to have his concert."

"The last straw for me was when I came home on leave and saw his flesh light sitting out in the common area table."

"We’ve stopped inviting him to places."

Who Invited You?

It truly takes no effort to be polite and courteous to others.

Perhaps the fact that none of these people even seem to try to be a better person might be the most telling characteristic of all...

Marvel has officially confirmed that Chris Evans is returning as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, and the internet has responded exactly how you’d expect: screaming, celebrating, arguing, and a very justified side-eye toward how Sam Wilson keeps getting treated.

The confirmation comes via a teaser now playing exclusively in theaters ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash. There is no official online release, despite leaks circulating. If you didn’t catch it on the big screen, Marvel’s response is essentially: sorry, guess you had to be there.
