Traits That Make You Wary

People who are eager to slag someone off or claim that someone (usually a professional of some kind) doesn't know what they're talking about. People who will badmouth their kids' teachers are maybe the most common example of this. Healthcare workers and people from the council too. Massive alarm bells when someone starts self-righteously pontificating about how someone with infinitely more knowledge and experience who is there to help them 'doesnt know what they're talking about' or suchlike.

Can you add match officials to that list.....?!

Related behaviour is prioritising anecdote or experience over statistics as evidence. Eg:

There can't be global warming because it doesn't seem any hotter

Smoking can't be bad for you because granny smoked a pipe for 75 years.

I think I'll be taking Donald Trump's word on climate change over 11000 scientists, thank you very much.

People so unoriginal that they name their business Scot/Alba/Caledonia/Ecosse something.

People who micromanage to the very last detail.

People who sit in the inner seat and put their bag on the window seat and/or put their feet on the seats.

People with no self-awareness to thank someone who does a good deed or helps them out.

People who swing a conversation around that it is all about them or their thoughts often something so far from the original chat

People who talk at you, often two fucking minute monologues where you've lost the will to live, but too much of a pussy to say nothing but end up agreeing with them in the hope that they will go away. Also, same selfish arseholes who will never ask a question ; just a big long monologue about their life.

Jobsworths in crappy jobs - WTF are you doing? All that work for no reward and arseholes like me thinking you're a smug bellend with too much pride in yourself.

People who are constantly phoning people from a car. I'm probably jealous of their social circle, but f**k sake, just drive your fucking car and listen to the radio/podcast.

Loud phone talkers - it's often Guvnors. Next time you hear someone screaming in to their phone on public transport, the person will be English.

Getting engaged after 18 months to someone.

Constantly taking selfies/pictures/videos at an event. Aye, one two but put it away.

Describing your self by a political ideology.
