You receive what you give. People who repeat the mistakes will keep suffering.
A user asked the forum, “What situation do you have almost no sympathy with?” Here are the top responses.
ABUSIVE PARENTS END UP WITH NO ONE TO TAKE CARE
“When a parent abuses their child so much that their child eventually grows up and disowns them. I especially don’t care when the parent has no one to care for them in their old age.”
BEING IN A TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS
“I had a friend whose boyfriend cheated on her five times in 2 years. She always calls me at 3 a.m. crying, calling him names, and saying she will dump him. She ended up marrying him, and the first phone call I got, I hung up. You married the fool. You deal with it and quit waking me up!”
PEOPLE WHO VICTIMIZE THEMSELVES
“People who always twist things around to victimize themselves.”
DRIVING DRUNK
“Driving drunk. I have zero sympathy for those people. One of my now former friends said that driving drunk is his right. He went berserk when he was charged with a DUI (Driving Under The Influence). He said he went to jail because he was using his ‘freedom wrong.’ No. It’s because you were putting others’ lives in danger.
I grew up with an alcoholic father who drove impaired 90% of the time. He almost got us killed more times than I can count. No sympathy. That’s why I only drink one or two drinks maybe once a year.”
WALKING OUT OF JOBS
“My sister-in-law has walked out of half a dozen jobs in as many months and now is having trouble getting hired. I used to prepare her resume for her, but I’m not anymore. I can’t polish a turd.”
VET BILLS
“People who buy designer dogs from puppy mills then complain about the vet bills for the breed’s well-known hereditary issues.”
PEOPLE WHO TEXT AND DRIVE
“People who text and drive. Because of someone who did just that, my grandpa died. He should still be here; he should have seen me learn to drive, go on a first date, attend school dances, graduate high school, and witness me turn 21, but that never happened because someone thought their phone was more important than the people around them on the road. I miss him daily, and it’ll soon be nine years since he passed.”
PEOPLE WHO KEEP CRYING OVER THEIR SITUATION
“People who keep crying over their situation but refuse to make any changes to make their situation better. I still sympathize with them, but it seems pointless because it ended up hurting me instead.
Also, this was directed toward a particular situation in my life, not an attack on anyone stuck in a rut and having issues that are next to impossible to sort out. I hope and pray anyone going through something like this can come out of it more robust, whatever the situation.”
MAKING POOR FINANCIAL DECISIONS
A user said, “Making poor financial decisions and needing others to bail them out.”
Another user added, “People who complain about barely making it to their next paycheck order 3 Uber meals daily.”
HAVING KIDS WITHOUT FINANCIAL STABILITY
“When people willingly have kids knowing that they can’t financially support them, or when they have kids and then don’t care for them and neglect them. I had an absent father for most of my prepubescent life, and I heavily resent him. He did not care about me.”
ABUSIVE PEOPLE
“I can understand that people like that were probably harmed at some point in life, but that doesn’t excuse maliciously using and abusing people around you.”
BULLFIGHTERS
“Bullfighters getting gored. Maybe you shouldn’t have decided to torture an animal for entertainment.”
RELIGIOUS ZEALOUS
“Religious Zealous. ‘I’m oppressed.’ No, you keep self-imposing things on yourself and other people. Just leave everyone alone.”
BILLIONAIRES PROBLEMS
A user said, “Billionaires. Any of their problems.”
Another user added, “Mine is rich people complaining about their mental health issues while not going to therapy.”
CHEATERS
“Cheaters who cry when they get caught.”
PEOPLE CLIMBING A MOUNTAIN
“People climbing a mountain or sailing dangerous waters, putting themselves at risk, and then someone else has to risk their life to save them.”
LUNG CANCER AFTER SMOKING
“Lung (or some other) cancer after decades of smoking. I’m afraid you asked for it. (This is how both my parents died!).”
PEOPLE WHO ARE CONSTANTLY LATE
“People who are constantly late. I understand that life happens, things take longer than you thought, you hit traffic, etc. Once in a while, it’s all good. But if it’s every single time, I don’t care what your excuses are. Grow up, time to be an adult.”
