Of course, every now and then, some people prove to be the jerks we thought them to be when we first met them.
Sometimes, we don't even need to properly meet them to tell them they are not the sort of people anyone wants to make friends with.
Redditor waterheuhu was curious to hear what people considered the dead giveaways that a person is someone to be avoided at all costs, leading them to ask:

"And if it was, I didn’t mean it."
"And if I did. "
"You deserved it."- FreshFondant
"I dunno if it would qualify a person as horrible; however, I find it frustrating when a person is talking to someone, and no matter what he or she talks about, they always put themselves at the center of the conversation."

"If someone has shown they don't take 'no' well, in any capacity, no matter how politely you've tried to express it or how many compromises you try to make."
