We’ve all had that moment. You’re vibing with someone, things seem cool and then BOOM! They do or say something that makes every alarm in your head go off at once. Sometimes it’s subtle. Other times it’s a full red billboard screaming “RUN!”
An X user asked people about the instant red flag that told them “this person is not the one,” and the answers? Absolutely wild.
1. “She calls her pastor ‘Daddy‘ “– Timi*
One Sunday, I asked her how church service went and when she was talking, she mentioned “daddy”. I asked her to repeat herself and she said it again. I jokingly said “ah, you didn’t tell me you’re a pastor’s daughter o”…She said no, that’s what she calls her church pastors; “Papa” and “Daddy”. Omo, I just couldn’t.
2. “She Ghosts For Fun“– Emmanuel*
We were just talking about silent treatment and ghosting and she mentioned she once ghosted her ex boyfriend for 4 months. A guy that was pressing money o. I was like no way!!! Maybe she didn’t love him. But then, she claimed she loved me and was going to do the same to me too.
3. “I Told Her About Being Owed Money, She Pretended To Care” – Tunmise*
I always complained about this person owing me. Few months later, the person paid. When I updated her, her first response was “come and buy sharwama for me”. As how now??? Were you just waiting for him to pay so you could bill me???
4. “She Kept Replying My ‘Good Morning’ With Just ‘Morning‘ ” – Dotun*
You know those people that would always responding your ‘Good Morning’ with ‘Morning’? Yes. She was one of them. Like me that added ‘good’ before the ‘morning’ i don’t have sense abi?
5. “Nothing Was Private To Her, At All!“– Uche*
She had ALL her life’s details and everyday activities on social media. Solicited o, unsolicited o, public o, private o…everything going on with her was on social media for the world to see. She was the kind of person that if something went wrong between us, she could do a storytime on it, in four parts and across all social media platforms!
6. “She Was Unkind To Me At First Link” – Seun*
First time we met, i couldn’t get the directions to her house properly. So I told her to come meet me at her estate junction, she said it’s too sunny and she can’t come out in the sun that I should find my way. We weren’t even in a talking stage or whatever…i just knew she’s not kind because that is the barest of the bare minimum.
