Have you ever heard of a certain job that people call a career and thought... "PEOPLE PAY YOU FOR THAT?!?!"
All hard, honest work is good work.
And then there is just trash work.
And I don't mean garbage collection, that is honest work.
I don't know how some people live with themselves.
RedditorMrTuxedo1wanted to discuss the careers they don't believe people should chase. They asked:
"What job do you have no respect for?"
Ticket scalpers. How do you the audacity to say that's a job?
Actual burglars have more empathy.

Shady. Shady.
"Australian Real Estate Agents. Laws don't seem to apply to them. Just as dodgy in sales and rentals alike. Never seen anything like it overseas."

"I'm in the US, it can vary state by state but my state is pretty strict on realtor laws. Some states require attorney review and there are definitely penalties for being reported for shady sh*t. It does require consumer reporting though."

Etransfer
"Where I live, tax info was leaked and now scammers are targeting low income individuals/families (people earning under 30,000 per year) with etransfer scams. I got one the other day that was an etransfer warning that 240$ 'a family member sent me' was about to expire."

"That’s disgusting. The scammers know what they’re doing, they know the harm they cause people and yet they don’t care."

Should be illegal...
"MLM managers. Not the low level idiots that get suckered into it, they suck too for trying to bring new people into that sh*tshow, but the people who create them know exactly what they are doing and are pretty much the only ones who profit off of it. Should be illegal. Pyramid schemes are illegal. None of them ever get the just desserts except occasionally by vigilantes I assume."

I hate debt collectors. Yeah, you calling me one hundred times a week is going to miraculously make money appear.

"I met Jack Gleeson (King Joffrey from Game of Thrones) at a bus stop in Dublin. Really nice guy but he said he quit acting due to people being nasty online and constant hounding from paparrazi. He's happier now but it sucks that he was pushed away from a career he was quite good at."

Scumbags
"The pastors at mega churches whom ask their followers for money for private jets. Absolute scum to abuse others faith for your own greed."

"Brian Tamaki is a greedy freaking pig, he takes advantage of so many people who are already struggling. Every time he’s in the local news (which btw is often) I get more and more pissed off at him and his wife. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Tamaki "

it’s a thing???
“'Dating Expert.' Sadly it’s a thing. It’s basically a self appointed title that requires no training or qualifications. What’s worse, is that I have a female friend who uses one. It’s very much a blind leading the blind situation."
Mean_Manufacturer_61
"Most of the self proclaimed “dating coaches” I know are women in their late 30s or early 40s who have never been married or had a longer relationship."

EVIL
"Poachers. Especially big game poachers who purposefully hunt nearly extinct animals from species they know they are on the brink."
"I know there are poachers that come from rural villages who are trying to just put food on the table, which has my sympathy but poachers who come from money and hunt down animals minding their business in most shelters or restricted areas just to put a head on their wall as a trophy are absolutely heinous."

JamesDeadite
"I've always found it interesting how many magicians go after people like this. I think it's because they know what it takes to trick people for the art. The slight of hand and mentalism. And they abhor people who use these tactics for such sh*tty purposes."

I want so bad to believe in psychics and mediums. What say we on that topic?

People Describe The Types Of People They Have Absolutely No Respect For
There are just some people in life we all really need to try and avoid.
Some humans just can't stop themselves from being rude, mean-spirited, and difficult.
Of course people can change, learn and grow, but they need to do it on their own time, don't let them take up yours.
The older you get, the circle of friends gets smaller, and you learn to embrace that as a gift.
Choose people wisely. People you can respect and be respected by.
Redditor i_am_notthewalruswanted to share everyone'e thoughts on those that have left some bad personal impressions, they asked:
"What types of people do you have zero respect for?"
I have little respect for anybody. My biggest issue is with people who are blatant hypocrites. They make me seethe.
Clean Up!
Pick Up Trash GIF by REIGiphy"Those that litter! Pick up after yourself you child!" ~ CrispyWT
Just Be Kind
"People who make fun of people who are trying to be helpful." ~ FilmStew
"I used to go to the gym (just to keep fit, nothing major) and I used to see this really big guy there every week walking on the treadmill. He always worked himself really hard and I admired his dedication. He came in wearing an anime t shirt once that I was a fan of so I remarked on it and told him how well I could see he was doing."
"He told me I was the only person who had ever spoken to him and some people had even laughed at him. It made me really cross. What is the point of a gym if not to help lose weight? Why mock people that are just trying to improve themselves and make themselves feel better? I made a point of speaking to him if I saw him after that and before I left he told me he'd lost 12 kilos." ~ FluffofDoom
it's a horrifically ugly trait...
"People that constantly feel the need to put others down to make themselves look/feel better." ~ CjThaPrince1
"Yes 100%. I used to work with someone like this, when I 1st met her I thought we could be friends as we had so much similar on the surface but after a few hours of actually working with her I realized I very seriously wanted to punch her in the face every time she spoke. I'm not a violent person but she was just a fool, through and through. She would make fun or put someone down every chance she got, it's a horrifically ugly trait."
"I then made it my mission to say something nice about everyone i came into contact with at least once a day just to piss her off. I was overwhelmingly relieved when she left a few months later, I think I would have left if she hadn't, seeing her name on the same shift as me made my heart sink. I actually had to block her on social media as even seeing her made me go urgh way too hard. She just made whatever was around her less enjoyable." ~ shannonspeakstoomuch
Texas Girl
"During a public speaking course in college, we had to do a presentation in front of the class. A Japanese guy got up to make sushi. He was one of the most nervous public speakers I have ever seen; visibly shaking, could barely speak. Everyone in the class was cheering him on, except one girl from Texas."
"She was tall, blond, pretty, and popular. No one could believe it when she started heckling him, trying to get others to join in. So much for being popular, no one even wanted to work with her after that. Laughing at someone so vulnerable is unforgivable." ~ blameitonmyouth
Rude!
rude liz lemon GIFGiphy"People that treat others like crap and expect to be treated nicely and like a God." ~ TheFailureOne
Who made you God? Sadly, I've asked that question a few too many times. Also, pick up your crap! Don't be so lazy
Own it
Golden State Warriors No GIF by NBAGiphy"People who don't take responsibility for their actions." ~ DarkPasta
Sorry
"People who don't admit they were wrong when they clearly were. It's okay to backtrack or change your mind." ~ twentythreeturtles
"This. I always support my friends telling me I'm wrong and I am trying to always remember to apologise when I'm wrong and admit. I feel like it also makes me more courageous and less afraid to admit other things." ~ bruhitsahnaf
Put it Away!
"People that flaunt wealth that they didn't work for and then think they are above everyone." ~ rice_krispie_5206
"I work with someone like this. It's awful. They married a really rich old guy and suddenly are coming into work with super expensive clothes, handbags and jewelry."
"They are always boasting about how wealthy they are now. It's so uncomfortable to be in their company as in our line of work you won't get rich. Most people are struggling to get by and they rock in with shoes and bags worth $8,000. Read the room or quit the job." ~ OfficerOLeary
Evil
"Child abusers." ~ SentientBuickCentury
"Wild to think there are people who go home beat their spouse/kids because their boss yelled at them at work that day or the kid spilled his drink or the wife didn't cook or cook the food right. How can they possibly feel powerful by hurting someone weaker than them? Straight up wussy crap. Every single abuser is an a**." ~ Rolyat28
nasty
Janet Jackson GIFGiphy"I'm a rude a**hole who tells it like it is! Deal with it, it's just who I am! It's not my fault you get offended!" They never fail to fall apart and throw tantrums when they're told they've messed up though." ~ user deleted
I have encountered every person on this list. Do better y'all.
