What sort of people do you avoid?

All of them. I am very antisocial.

People who never stop talking. I'm a quiet person and attract people who talk non stop. Their favourite letter is 'I'.

Racists. However that cuts down on the pool of people available unfortunately.

I try not to avoid anyone and to be polite to all people but find myself biting my tongue and saying nothing at times.

Those would are consistently pessamistic, racists and the kind of person who always complains about something, asks my advice about how to deal with it, but never makes the attempt to do so, just comes back and complains about the same thing again.

People who are judgemental and feel that they know what is right for you and how you should live your life. My view is get your own life in order first before judging mine.

there is a saying “ people who interfere in the lives of others have no control in their own” - bearing out your philosophy

Lathyrus3

People who insist on showing you photos of their pets and grandchildren.

It’s endless now it’s all on the phone.

They don’t seem to be interested in the pictures of my allotment 😬

so funny - especially through the Winter when it will be resting, bare and melancholy

Only the types who ignorantly talk over you when your in mid sentence

Know it alls. We know someone who is extremely anti Tory which is fine. However, he lectures people who disagree with him. Just before the last general election, he told a waitress in a pub that she should be ashamed of herself when they were lightheartedly discussing the outcome and she said she would vote Tory. His wife told him to keep his views to himself. He replied 'Well if I don't educate these people, who will?'

Good for him!

Racists, Tories, drunks and smokers

I tend to avoid people who have no other subject of conversation other than their health, which is funny really considering that both my husband and I have too many ailments to mention! However, I do always try not to bore other people with the ins and outs, but as we get older, it seems that some of us to have nothing else to talk about, which is really sad I think.

yes scribbles,,,people who say, now what you SHOULD HAVE DONE as if they were right and I was wrong.

Try to avoid arrogant people. Has anyone else noticed that me me me types are usually only children. Sorry if I've offended any only children GN's

Not a brilliant comment! Yes, you will definitely have offended many only children. I am one of them, and my ‘only child’ friends are not ‘me, me, me’ people either.
What do you have to back up your statement? Not a lot, I don’t expect!

As a child I had a very difficult time. I was an only child, too. Only children were not immune from violence and cruelty, probably often copped it more than most.Clickety Click should think before she or he or whatever speaks.

I am very sorry for offending with my only child comment. In hindsight not a good thing to post but it was made from personal experiences of only child friends and relatives. Maybe I've just been unlucky knowing so many such personalities. Again, my apologies.

I'm not happy in the company of people who don't like animals.

Ditto Aveline, as long as it's not a big scary dog or a snake!

I'm not happy in the company of people who don't like animals.

I can’t handle braggers, my neighbour who has so much money, she doesn’t know what to do with it and my other neighbour who brags about all the men who want to sleep with her. She is 85. Good luck to her but please, I don’t want to know the details, the nitty gritty 😂- tbh, I’d rather my neighbour who talks about her money 💰 💰 💰

Those who don't like animals. I don't mean people who are allergic.

Who hate animals, women, and the disabled, who think only white, able-bodied heterosexual human males should be around.

Who want to destroy deserts and rainforests just to build more drive-throughs and more MuckDonalds etc.

Loud and/or gobby. I had loads of them as passengers when I was a bus driver and quite a few work colleagues too!

The negative, jealous naysayer types. Such as a building that has been empty for 20 years, quite messy, needs some TLC, someone moves in and starts getting it done up, then all the naysayers start moaning about them trying to do good with it, so why didn't THEY do something about it!?

Those who let their feral, uncontrolled brats roam around freely, getting in everyone's way and constantly shouting and screaming.

Drunkies/druggies of any gender.

Religious nutters. I DON'T mean those who quietly go about their religion, but those who come into shops trying to hand out leaflets and stand outside banging on about sinners, etc. I've no time for them at all.

All the Kardashians, Katie Price and so on, who have so much surgery that they actually look terrifying. All the ''celebrity'' egotists.

windmill1

People who relate every minute detail about their current health condition, ad nauseam. Then the one before that, and before that etc, etc.

And, of course, the GP, Consultant, therapist has never come across a case like theirs in the whole of their career!

But just you try volunteering your most recent health 'adventure'.......they'll shut you down in nano-seconds.

So true!!

And you call yourself, ‘friendlygingercat’?? Eh? Bit of a misnomer, methinks!

Neighbours
Couriers who want me to accept parcels for neighbours
Sales people
Chuggers
Anyone not expected (unless they have come to tell me I have won Lotto)

I’m rather glad you’re not my neighbour! You don’t like taking parcels in for them? Do they take yours in? It’s nicer to be on good terms with neighbours. You don’t have to visit them, or have them over to yours, but it’s nice to know they’re there. One day, you might need help. So might they. Being good neighbours is reassuring, I find.

Oh dear- I’m a bit of a hugger. Maybe it is different where we live because many of us are. It is a normal way of greeting friends.

I avoid loud groups of people, they are usually trying to show off too much or outdo one another. Also people showing off about their perfect families. (Someone said this earlier)

Greenfinch

Oh yes,I avoid huggers too unless they are close family.

Ah yes huggers & air kissers 🙄

LizzieDrip

Loud mouthed, opinionated racists and bigots.

Me too
