    These are the things I warn my sons against:

    -Men with pinky rings
    -Someone who can shuffle a deck of cards with one hand
    -Pretty, gussied-up blonde women

    When people are rude to people in a restaurant/ act different in front of people in general compared to alone together...

    Never trust a man that doesn't wear an undershirt.

    I don't mind you asking what I do, but it shouldn't literally be the second thing you ask after my name. I dunno... maybe five minutes into the convo? Sharpen up your small-talk skills.

    People who laugh too hard at a meh joke
    People who are too complementary
    People who talk very fast

    Mainly, I think everyone is full of ****. So that is my default assumption. It didn't used to be that way - I used to assume that people were generally competent (especially in a work environment). Experience has shown me otherwise.

    As a wise man once put it, "All men are frauds. The only difference between them is that some admit it. I myself deny it."

    People that try to get me to make decisions too fast. Common tactic for "used car salesman" type sales people.

    What does that have to do with anything. I hate under shirts. They feel weird.

    Contractors that can't go two sentences without mentioning the Savior Lord God Almighty.

    People that are late for a first appointment and don't seem to care.

    I have to say- living in Houston, an undershirt most of the year is a recipe for more sweat. So I don’t wear them. I also don’t wear a shirt at all most of the time at home in the summer. Too ****ing hot.

    Good one- I was making casual conversation with a lady the other day and she goes ‘want to know a secret?’ And I go ‘sure!’...she says ‘Jesus has a plan for YOU’. Like she knew what it was. Then it was all religion talk after. I walked away as soon as I politely could.

    People who say, "that's just being honest with you".

    Even worse if you're a salesman saying this.

    If you've ever listened to two women talk, it's all about themselves. Their discourse is different; they like to connect so talking about themselves is a way to share notes.

    Also, there's a difference between distrust and dislike. I don't distrust self-centered people, I just don't enjoy talking to them.

    Women with a tattoo of a dagger on their body.
