Scoundrels and hypocrites** - hates it when people pretend to be good, but actually do shit. ❌ Book snobs - those who praise only "high-brow" literature. ❌ Fake reviews - if the author/publisher pays for positive reviews.

Friendly relaxedness** - can write at 3am: "Are you sleeping? I'm not either.
