inconsiderate
Lacking basic courtesy
Inconsiderate describes someone who fails to think about how their actions affect others.
An inconsiderate driver cuts people off without signaling.
An inconsiderate roommate plays loud music at midnight.
The word implies thoughtlessness rather than deliberate cruelty—the person simply didn't consider others' needs or feelings: It was inconsiderate of him not to call.
