    1. This person who included a paragraph of their credentials in a condolence message about the loss of someone's loved one:

    A person sends the message "I am sorry for your lose [misspelled]," then signs it with about 50 credentials, including "adjunct professor of business, PhD [twice], MS, MIBA, RMC, MPA, MMC, MFP, BS," and on and on

    3. This person who admitted to stalking their wife before pursuing her:

    4. This person who shamed women who are victims of workplace harassment:

    Message to a woman: "You encourage a man to touch you all over and then pretend how your boss is forcing himself on you; men respond to your hints, cues and clues; how come you are the only woman every man goes for? You are the loosest woman in town"

    5. And this person who shamelessly objectified women:

    Message from "the #1 real estate wholesale coach": "Your biggest asset is your women" because you can't have sex with your business, your business doesn't make baby humans, your business doesn't change dirty diapers or clean your house

    6. This person who decided "Eh, rejecting this person isn't enough — I need to rub it in their face that they didn't get the job":

    A person with 20 years' experience interviewed an analyst who was "arrogant" because he thought he knew more than they did, so this person did the "compassionate thing" and told him that he came across as arrogant and it would hold him back in his career

    A hand holding an envelope with "Day 129" written on it, with the text "Showed up and dropped off a card every business day for 129 days for the CIO, with a new reason to work with me written on the card each day"; they were told to stop on the 129th day

    11. This person who's a professional at judging people:

    Text: "Start a business: $999 = "too much," buy a new iPhone: $999 = "no problem"; healthy groceries: $100 = too much, dinner & dessert: $100 = no problem" and then says "Life is about choices, stop blaming the "lack of opportunity'"
