Red flags. They’re everywhere. Warning us that the person we’re getting involved with is bad news, no good, turn around, 0/10 do not attempt.
And yet, we so often ignore them, like these Twitter users did, much to their detriment.
Let’s take a look!
19. Rap it up
I had a somewhat similar experience with a drunk friend I was driving home once, but the one getting burned was me.
we were driving around and he played just the worst soundcloud rap song i’d ever heard, i said ew what is this and he said…that’s me…..

18. Power trip
And *that* alone should disqualify you from any governmental position ever for the rest of your life.
When asked what he wanted to do for a career by my mom, he said “i think i want to go into law enforcement” after my mom asked what interested him in that he said “because i like the feeling of power”

17. A single chocolate
This has got some serious Bates Motel energy.
I dated a guy who used to share a single chocolate with his mother in the evening after supper. One chocolate cream and they’d cut it in half. I feel sick just thinking about it.

16. The sickness
That’s awful, I hope he got the help he needed.
told me he was shaky and pale bc he had scurvy but he was actually addicted to vyvanse and had to go to rehab :/

15. Number one problem
Once I can understand as an embarrassing but forgivable incident – but REGULARLY?
he peed my bed almost every weekend and made me clean it

Wait, that’s a thing?
he was a professional scooter rider

13. Egg me on
Gross.
my ex who once scrolled on Twitter and clicked on a photo of a half nude girl, looked back at me, and then said he “wouldn’t have to look at them” if I had sex with him more often ? also ignored me on my birthday and watched a 30 min video about eggs instead

12. Help yourself
Imagine being so selfish you won’t give your partner water.
He used to get frustrated that I would help myself to a glass in his cupboards or open his fridge to pull out his Brita filter, so he duck taped his cabinets and fridge shut before I came over one night

11. Bless up
Oh, no.
He was a white Christian rapper.

10. Serious inquiries only
Is that your final answer?
Her mom asked me point blank was I sure I wanted to date her daughter.

9. That’s permanent
“Hey cool but this is like our second date.”
Got enormous script tattoo of my name *without telling me first* https://t.co/rsGrNEx4yb

What kind of sociopath…
He peeled his chicken nuggets before eating them https://t.co/18Wewgy3BM

7. That’s a big ego
Was he compensating for something?
commissioned an oil painting of himself that he hung over his bed https://t.co/EbX0BmL8lp

6. Not guilty
Was she perchance a juror?
My ex thought OJ didn’t do it https://t.co/GiTW05lSRQ

5. Bless up
Which I’m sure she repeatedly insisted was no such thing.

4. Sing me a song
You would lose me at “watched Glee.”
Dated a guy who only watched Glee for the plotlines and fast-forwarded through the singing scenes. https://t.co/mk425iQ959

3. Happily ever after?
“Hey, you wanna come pay $50 to freeze to death watching something we could see better at home on TV for free?”
He took me to an Eagles tailgate/game on my 1 Sunday off during the season so I could understand Philly better. We sat in the last row at the Linc in the freezing cold with his family. He told me he thought I would appreciate the All 22 view.
Big red flag… I still married him https://t.co/nHGVDHvp3y

2. Opposites attract
What’s to understand? It’s not complicated.

1. Bad taste
Prince wasn’t bad at anything, ya’ll. Anything musical, anyway.
