How it's used
Describes someone who acts without regard for social conventions or the feelings of others, often implying a lack of shame or tact. It carries a strong sense of disapproval, suggesting that the person is brazenly ignoring the consequences of their behavior on their own reputation or the comfort of those around them.
Examples
He is so flagrant in his work, it is really hard to deal with.

Common phrases
to behave with no regard for others
Common mistake
Often confused with 唔要面, which specifically means shameless or having no sense of dignity. While 唔顧面 focuses on the flagrant disregard for social norms or others' feelings, 唔要面 is a more direct personal insult regarding a lack of self-respect.
