They act like they are listening to your detailed story and then say ‘well anyway’ and start talking about something completely off topic.

People who unironically use the words 'alpha male'.

'I know more than you about this thing I just learnt about 5 minutes ago.' Nothing worst than dumbasses who spout complete BS with confidence, and completely ignore people who try to correct them.

Subscribing to a political party like it’s a religion.

The kind of dogmatic anti-education sentiment you see going around the internet. 'I learned more in this 10 minutes video than in 3 years of highschool', 'College is a scam, my friend's cousin's dog dropped out to run his own business and is now a multimillionnaire'.
The education system is imperfect and you don't need a college degree to lead a successful life, but people who outright dismiss college as a useful tool or ask why high school doesn't teach us about taxes after they slept through algebra and home-ec just seem to be complaining for the sake of complaining.
'Oh look at me I'm a contrarian that likes to sh*t on some of the most useful established tools in modern society'.

Interest in a pyramid scheme.

I had a friend who was falling for one of those “work 4 hours a week from any beach in the world” scams. I told her how it was clearly a scam and if this was a true career, why wouldn’t everyone be doing it? Especially at the rate they were advertising.
Coming from a good place, all I was met with was “you’re just jealous” or “you’re not supportive and think you know better” type of comments. She ended up wasting 3-4 months of her time

filthconnoiseur has something to say to Sharon:
Talking about horoscopes. 'I'm toxic and clingy because I'm a caprisun.' No, Sharon, you're just a c*nt. The stars had nothing to do with it.

Claiming to be a sovereign citizen.

I just heard a guy say 'God gave us the right to have a gun, if you're against my right to have a gun, you're also against God.' Politics aside, whether your for or against gun laws; that is a ridiculous statement.
Manganela probably thinking of someone specific:
Active hostility to books (as opposed to simply not reading them).
