Karl Albrecht also identifies the terms Social Halitosis, Social Flatulence, and Social Dandruff.

Social Halitosis

Social Halitosis is equivalent to inauthentic, inconsiderate behavior––conversational bad breath.

• This would be someone who invades your space and keeps talking with you even though you have tried to end the discussion.
• People such as these are completely incapable of seeing how they are disregarding the social rights of others.
• They treat others as things, entities, non-beings, and they see others as only there for their own selfish purposes.
• We have no obligation to listen to these people.

This is not directed at sales personnel, as some of these behaviors are part of their job descriptions. It is directed towards those who do not treat people as human beings.

Social Flatulence

Social Flatulence may be defined as insensitivity and lack of situational awareness (or possibly lack of respect for accepted norms of behavior).

• This would be someone who shouts out a loud, inappropriate remark.
• This might be the one who asks the heavy set woman when she is due.
• It is ignorance of appropriate social behavior.
• It is the equivalent of a social fart.

This may come from someone who has no respect for accepted norms of behavior.

Social Dandruff

Social Dandruff may be defined as behavior that selfishly imposes one's interests on others.

• This would include music blaring from the next house, car, or cubicle.
• It may be the coworker who comes in every day, sits down, and talks with you as though that is all you have to do.
• This may be those who ask favors inappropriate to the relationship, or the one who always decides where to go for lunch.

These people "spray" everyone in sight or within hearing of their views.

These all come from the same thing:

Lack of insight or concern for
one's impact on others.

They represent self-centered, selfish, and self-serving behaviors, those lacking in consideration for others.
