We’ve all met people who leave us raising our eyebrows. They might be a tad trashy, and while it’s not polite to judge, certain behaviors can give us pause. Sometimes, we stay clear during these moments because we don’t want to be associated with them. Sometimes, others stay clear of us because our “trashiness” shines through. Here are 15 signs that someone might be a little trashy.

Lack of Respect for Public Spaces

If you notice someone casually tossing trash on the sidewalk or leaving their mess at a shared table, it might be a sign they’re not too concerned with their surroundings. A bit of carelessness in public areas can indicate a lack of consideration.

Overly Revealing Attire

While self-expression is important, if someone’s outfit leaves little to the imagination in inappropriate settings, it can come off as a bit trashy. Striking a balance between personal style and respecting social norms is key.

Excessive Public Displays of Affection (PDA)

A quick peck or holding hands is sweet, but when things get a bit too heated in public, it can make others uncomfortable. Respect for personal boundaries is important, and excessive PDA can signal a lack of awareness.

Ignoring Basic Hygiene

Neglecting personal hygiene can be a clear indicator of a trashy disposition. Regular grooming and cleanliness are essential in social settings, and a disregard for this can come off as careless.

Spreading Rumors and Gossip

Trashy behavior often involves talking behind others’ backs, spreading rumors, and gossiping excessively. A penchant for stirring up drama can indicate a lack of maturity and respect for others’ privacy.

Public Altercations

Getting into loud, public arguments is a definite red flag. It’s important to address conflicts privately and respectfully rather than airing grievances for all to see.

Ignoring Basic Manners

Simple courtesies like saying “please” and “thank you” go a long way. Someone who consistently ignores these social niceties may come across as a bit rough around the edges.

Disrespect for Service Workers

Treating service industry employees poorly is a big sign of trashy behavior. Kindness and respect towards those providing a service is a true mark of character.

Excessive Profanity

While a well-placed expletive can add emphasis, overuse of foul language can be a sign of a limited vocabulary and a lack of consideration for those around.

Flaunting Material Possessions

Being flashy about material possessions can indicate a lack of humility and a desire for validation through external means. True self-worth isn’t measured in belongings.

Irresponsibility with Finances

Constantly living beyond one’s means, recklessly spending, and not planning for the future can signal a lack of maturity and responsibility.

Lack of Empathy

An inability to empathize with others’ feelings and experiences can suggest a lack of emotional intelligence, which can lead to trashy behavior.

Overindulgence in Alcohol or Substance Abuse

While enjoying a drink is perfectly fine, an excessive and careless approach to alcohol or substance use can indicate a lack of self-control and personal responsibility.

Inconsiderate Noise Levels

Being excessively loud in public places, especially in quiet environments like libraries or public transportation, shows a lack of awareness and consideration for others.

Disregard for Personal Space

Invading others’ personal space or being overly touchy without consent can make people uncomfortable and is a clear sign of trashy behavior.
