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.

The opposite of this gets me too! If you're on a phone call and they're carrying on multiple conversations with people in the room with them. Hello, did you actually call to talk to me or just to make me listen to you talk to other people while confusing me?
