1) Spouting off about Jesus and "having a blessed day" during the course of the first conversation. I have nothing against anyone's religious beliefs, but don't shove them down my throat.

2) Paranoia or victim mentality immediately when I meet them. I've dealt with those issues with my mother-in-law, and looking back on things, our first conversation involved her paranoia. :(

3) Being negative about just about everything from the beginning.

4) When someone either won't make eye contact during a conversation or makes too much eye contact (i.e. staring at me and not blinking), it makes me run far, far away. I had a conversation with a parent (this was in the course of my job) about two months ago, and the woman carried on the entire conversation (about 20 minutes) without once looking me in the eye. Thankfully, her daughter isn't coming to our school after all. :woohoo:

The starers must think they're going to hypnotize me or something. :P It won't work. :rofl:

5) Bizarre behavior that is immediately apparent.
