  not being nice to cats. So many people expect them to act like dogs then get hurt and say they hate cats.

  It’s honestly a red flag for me if someone says they hate cats because that means they can’t respect boundaries.

  also, being a Republican.

    I mean, I don’t like cats, but they love me. I think it’s because I ignore them. Not sure why me not liking cat smell is a red flag

      Same, cats are fine. Them crapping in my garden not so much. Cleaning a litterbox… not happening.

  Problems are like compound interest. You’re going to deal with them sooner or later but if you do it later, it costs more. Deal with them sooner.

  Being an asshole to someone you love because you didn’t take a beat to calm down after something stressful.

    Or simply to someone who didn’t deserve it… Might be the main issue amongst people, ever, and if it’s not it is at least for me. I’ve had to learn to regulate myself so much and I still feel like I have a long way to go, lol. 🥲

      You’re not alone. This is pretty much a universal struggle.

    This is huge. With a couple of kids, a spouse, and everyday responsibilities, it’s easy to get stressed and be a dick.

    I find it takes conscious effort to switch away from whatever is under my skin to deal appropriately with the folks I love.

  Treating other people like dirt.

  The person you treat like crap today may just be the person choosing whether to save your ass tomorrow.

  Not leaving margin for error.

  E.g. catch the bus/train before the one you _need_to. So, when it’s late or canceled there’s still the next one.

  E.g.

    Another frequent transit user here. When people complain that I’m early for something, I like to tell them that, since I ride transit, my choices are to be early or late, but I can’t choose to be on time. 😅

    Can you teach my wife this? She leaves the house at 07:23 in the morning, because she’ll arrive at work with a minute to spare. No matter if she wakes up at 05:30, she’ll still run around like a headless chicken at 07:20 to get everything ready. It must be so stressful.

      Maybe she’s learned from Ruter or AtB how to plan her commute.

      She should try my method.

      Plan to have slightly later in case traffic is good, and then actually have just after work starts.
