After a d!ckish post yesterday, I figured I generally dislike a few kinds of people.
Don't worry, I'm aware that I'm on someone's list too. You just can't get through life pleasing anyone. :)
Irresponsible People
Ah, the people who don't give a shit. You know them - they are the ones you wouldn't trust a pack of toothpick with. I can safely say if everyone in the world is responsible for their own actions, half the world's problem could be gone in an instant. #snap
Those with an entitled mentality
Not gonna pull a race card on this, don't worry. For me, those with "entitled" mentality are those who say shit like:- I got a double degree, so why should I be doing these lame tasks? (Prioritisation aside)
- I can't eat street food. It's for peasants!
- I'm a women, and I deserve this. (Same woman who fights for women empowerment, but that's a story for another day.)
Calculative People
Always suspected these are the people who invented the decimal points. They are the ones that would go mega-accountant on you, even if it's a project for social causes. Suddenly, their time is billable, sharing a post on their FB is a marketing cost, and they charge more for petrol claims than governments can impose on fuel.
Leeches
Credit takers, lime light stealers, it's-team-work-but-let-me-give-my-helicopter-view-and-dissociated-perspective-way-back-there. I always suspected the leeches have the power of teleportation too, because the moment there's stage time, or weife time, or look-at-that-influential-person-who-just -walked-in, before you can say "leech", #boom, they are there.Side note: when there's work to be done, their teleportation power kicks in too.
Whiners
Complainers are fine, but those who don't want to do anything about the situation are the worst!
People with Zero-growth Mindset
Graduation signify two things to this group - shit just got real, and no need to learn for the rest of my life. Fuck books! Books, podcasts, interviews, conference tickets, audiobooks, webinars, workshops are mostly wasted on these people, so don't bother.Oh, except those books - they are good for showing off, and as door stoppers.
Disrespectful of other's time
The people who invented the vaguely progressive term - on the way. The kind that would apologise for being late after being 30 minutes late. If there's a memoir dedicated to them, it would be "I underestimated how jam it will be."
Community Rapers
Wrote about this in detail a few weekends ago. Oh yeah, here it is. :)Basically, they are those who project to the world they do good, but backstage, they will milk every dollar from the causes.
Social Media Whores
At one point you'd wonder if they would show their d!ck pics. To them, every small achievement deserves to be known to the world, and if it doesn't get 100 FB likes and 50 comments, Facebook sucks. But don't worry Zuck, they will be back with another whore of a post a few minutes later.
Those who think they are good enough to filter opportunities for others
The "community leaders" who must screen opportunities to see if it's beneficial for the members. Sure, sometimes they gotta filter for Ponzi schemes and MLMers, but don't the members deserve to decide on their own, Mr. Leader?
Women beaters
This is common sense, so I shall not elaborate. But if it's common sense, then why do the idiots still raise their hands?
Pedophiles
This one causes me to vomit even on an empty stomach. Especially those who are in position of power. Total power abusers to downright sick, this is a special group that I am trying to practice forgiveness on, and it has been decades since the practice started.
Did a post on a trainer that's a convicted pedo a long while back too.
Personally, I am, or used to be, guilty of #1, #5, #9 and #10.
What's yours?
Wait, why's Mav posting on Steemit nowadays?
Well, unlike other blogging and social media platform, Steemit is the only platform that allows me to earn cryptocurrency when I engage with it. Yup, one Steem is about USD7, and you, too, can earn Steem Dollars every time you:

Yup, basically it's the very same thing you're doing on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc all along!
The only difference? For once you can earn a nice income on the side!
