For better or worse, people are all pretty different, from the things they like or don’t like to the way they act. That’s what makes it so hard to get along with some people, because it feels like everything they do drives you crazy. A Reddit post gets into this by asking, “What type of personality do you consider truly insufferable?”

Users didn’t hold back, with more than 15-hundred responses coming in and these are some of the folks they find most annoying:

"Gossip addicts who always have drama to share. Makes you wonder what they say about you when you're not around."
"People who can never admit they’re wrong. Ever."
"The contrarian. They know what they're saying is wrong or controversial, but maintain their point of view just to seem like they have one over the rest of us. Punchability: 8/10."
"Micromanagers who know how they are and don't dial it back."
"The 'one-upper' type. Someone who always has to one-up any story you tell."
"The anti-intellectual. People who refuse to learn and grow."
"Making anything your whole personality is a red flag. Gym, weed, politics, etc."
"People who interrupt nonstop. Like, let me finish a sentence."
"The 'well, actually' type. Someone who corrects basically everything you say."
"Holier than thou people, like evangelicals. They’re among the worst people on Earth, and yet they think they’re better than everyone."
"People who are the victim in every story they tell."
"Extroverts with bad social skills."
"The 'I've done my research' Facebook University crowd.”
"People who blame their rudeness, obnoxiousness, or personality on their culture or family background. 'SORRY I'M ITALIAN THIS IS JUST HOW I AM!' No, you were born in New Jersey, you're just annoying."

We know that the Easter bunny leaves baskets full of treats, but how did the tradition start? Believe it or not, the first mention of a rabbit showing up in the spring and leaving eggs dates back to Germany in the late 1600s. When German Christian immigrants moved to Pennsylvania, they brought the tradition with them — along with stories about the “Oschter Haws,” a folkloric hare that delivered brightly colored eggs to kids who behaved well. Back then, children left out little nests to collect their treats. Over time, those nests turned into Easter baskets, the name got simplified, and the Oschter Haws eventually hopped into history as the Easter Bunny we know today.
