"I call them how I see them."
"I'm just brutally honest."
"I'm just telling it like it is."
These phrases are used exclusively by rude, obnoxious, condescending assholes trying to justify being shitty to other people for no reason.

When their opinions are... very extreme.
Earlier today, someone told me that they'd wish someone were no longer living if they mentioned liking a certain type of pizza. It definitely wasn't said in a joking tone either (not that I'd really want to be around someone who made that type of "joke" in the first place) - that was a pretty obvious indicator that they were a bad person in my book.
It was done under the guise of "I don't like to sugarcoat things" 🙄
"I like people/politicians who tell it is like it is!"
This always means expressing popular grievance with a particular style that scapegoats everyone else for a group's problems.
An unwillingness to admit fault, and/or learn from one's mistakes. It's the biggest and reddest of red flags.
How they treat their waitress at a restaurant. Big red flag.
Folks who opt not to clean up after their dogs. Particularly in public areas.
I can't stand this. Nobody wants dog shit on their lawn. If I can pick up big piles of shit from my dog you can too.
