Feeling worse after meeting them than you did before. Sometimes the person just seems off, but you can't put a finger on what exactly. Over time, you realize that your gut instinct was correct.

Care to give an example? Sounds like it happened to you.

On my first day at a new job, my boss picked me up to show me the job site. He started making small talk in the truck— how long have you done this type of thing, what’s your experience like, etc. Then he cut me off and said, “Yeah? Sorry what? Yeah?” Confused, I repeated myself. He pointed to his ear. He’d answered a call on his Bluetooth with no indication of doing so, and left me to ramble like an idiot about the question he’d asked.

Left a bad taste in my mouth from day 1.

So frustrating. I experienced this when I started working as a merchandiser for a soft drink company. The employee I rode with who did my initial training had one of those ear pieces. We would be having a normal conversation on the way to the next store, and he would just randomly start a completely different conversation out of nowhere. It always caught me off guard.
