History YMMV / WorstPersonEver

* JerkassWoobie: Ray is an unrepentant sack of crap, but his sheer streak of bad luck can stir a little pity for the poor sod.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Sort of a given, considering [[SadistShow the work]] in question. [[VillainProtagonist Ray]] is an obnoxious misogynist who brings a lot of his misfortune onto himself. But almost everyone else around him proves to be just as assholish or underhanded, but escapes unscathed. Add in the universe’s determination to screw over Ray without respite, and the work can become rather tiring. (Of course, Coupland has stated that ''Worst. Person. Ever.'' was meant to "buck the trend” and “damage the person reading it”, making this rather intentional.)

* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe, Ray is repeatedly harangued for misspelling “[[Franchise/HarryPotter Herry Potter]]” while stoned.
* PortmanteauCoupleName: In-verse and after their drugged hookup, Lacey takes to referring to herself and Ray as “Raycey”. The following infobox explains the practice using real-life examples, such as Bradgelina, and dismisses it as stupid.
* {{Squick}}: ''Worst. Person. Ever.'' does not hold back. From Bradley’s violent upchucking at death, to fate constantly pushing Ray to shit himself, to the bloody spray from pulling off a skin flap, these gross moments are detailed.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Sort of a given, considering [[SadistShow the work]] in question. [[VillainProtagonist Ray]] is an obnoxious misogynist who brings a lot of his misfortune onto himself. But almost everyone else around him proves to be just as assholish or underhanded, but escapes unscathed.

Ever.'' was meant to "buck the trend” and “damage the person reading it”, making this rather intentional.)

* MartyStu: PlayedForLaughs, but Neal’s ridiculously good luck is repeatedly contrasted with Ray’s hardship almost to this degree

Add in the universe’s determination to screw over Ray without respite, and the work can become rather tiring. (Of course, Coupland has stated that ''Worst. Person. Ever.'' was meant to "buck the trend” and “damage the person reading it”, making it quite intentional.)

* {{Squick}}: ‘’Worst. Person. Ever.’’ does not hold back. From Bradley’s violent upchucking at death, to fate constantly pushing Ray to shit himself, to the bloody spray from pulling off a skin flap, these gross moments are detailed.

** Fiona also gets a moment, [[spoiler:when she reveals that she and Ray had two kids. Despite kidnapping them from their foster family, she does want to have a proper family life]].
