    For me, and my wife, quiet people. People who aren't that friendly or friendly at all. IOW, they will only say "good morning", "hi", "how are you doing", or whatever when spoken to. They will not do it first. Wife and I happen to like being around friendly people.

    People who use very foul language in every stinking sentence. No class
    Ask a question- ,they answer in book form . Sigh
    People who only want to discuss themselves and what is wrong in their life and the world
    Sales people who ask "and how are you today?" scripted words from their corporate office ..

    Gee @Cody Fousnaugh , you probably wouldn't like me, then. In person, I'm shy and introverted, and try not to impose on or interrupt others who look like they are having a good time on their own. Maybe that's being unfriendly, haven't thought of it that way. I think I'm responsive when spoken to.

    My list starts with smokers. Cigarette smoke in the air or on clothing, in hair, in homes make my sinus close up, and not being able to breathe makes me panic. Plus, it just stinks worse than body odor.

    Second comes the self-righteous and judgmental, especially when combined with proselytizing.

    You left out people who call us "young lady" in that patronizing tone. :mad:

    Not to worry because being an introvert isn’t being unfriendly. It’s a given that some folks just do not trust we quiet ones but that’s their problem, not mine. I have written it a couple of times before but I do not like being around people that much and the only time I feel really comfortable around them is when I’m either teaching or on formats such as this one.

    Frankly, I’d rather watch people than speak to them and even when I am watching, I do it from a distance. To me, that’s friendlier than yelling at people to stay off my lawn.

    I actually thought it was the best answer yet. Laughed my rear end off.
