Other times, they make their red flagsveryclear, solidifying your decision to cut ties immediately.

Here’s what they had to say.

I had to pull away slowly, with him still holding on.

My study group laughed their asses off when I told them why I was late.

He didn’t get a second date."

“My coworker told me he knew his wife was having a seizure at work.

Two hands exchanging a driver's license at a car window

He drove to her job and asked where she was.

They told him she hadn’t shown up.

By the time he got to her car, someone else had called an ambulance and was helping her.

I haven’t been able to look at him the same.”

It’s been around five years now.”

We never spoke again after that day."

“I met someone for a date.

We went on a hike, and I tripped over a log and fell on my hands.

They nonstop pointed and laughed at me hysterically for five minutes straight.

They kept saying how stupid I looked falling and were laughing the rest of the hike.”

I walk up and start chatting with the group about our new furry family member and his tragic history.

He was nearly six-foot already at 17, and the dog was a small poodle.

The dog was emaciated and had patchy fur from starvation and neglect.

Instant rejection from the sphere of people I want to have in my life."

We’re on the wrong side of 35 and can’t afford it.

Positive piss, blood tests, and the need for a medical procedure I never wanted to endure.

But sure, I’m just making this all up to keep my partner.

He seemed totally normal.

Later at the bar, we’re talking, and he drops an incredibly racist joke out of nowhere.

He mumbled something about us being too sensitive and didn’t say much for the rest of the night.

I haven’t talked to or seen him since."

“My cat died in my arms.

Never spoke to him again.”

Haven’t spoken a word to him since."

I got the check QUICK."

“I had a friend who received a restraining order from a girl.

He started talking online to a friend of mine.

She told me she was feeling uncomfortable.

I pretty much ended the friendship right there.

I think he’s doing better now, but I refuse to be friends with him again.”

Left a sour taste that wasn’t from the coffee."

“I was at a gathering, and somehow Keanu Reeves came up in conversation.

I mentioned how humble and selfless of a person he seemed in interviews.

Just an all-around good person.

That was it for me.

I walked away.”

She was friendly and funny.

One day, she started talking about the Boston bombing and several school shootings being hoaxes.

I noped the fuck out of that situation instantly.

Surprisingly, the relief I felt actually helped me feel a bit better."

If we couldn’t or refused, she would drive drunk.

After enabling her a few times, we all decided to give her an ultimatum.

She was also ‘the other woman’ and would constantly talk about how fun and exciting it was.

This is in addition to so many other things.

We all cut her out after years of dealing with her shit."
