While not directly stated, it is implied that the abusive boyfriend of Jimmy's mother also abused Jimmy. Also vague reference to period typical methods of physically disciplining children in Ove's youth.

A cat is kicked by the main character and the same cat is also hurt by a side character's dog and is threatened by that side character as well. Main character sets up a system to electrocute a dog, but he takes it down before any harm comes to the dog

There are 5 separate suicide plans/attempts, some of which are detailed and the second one becomes a running joke through the book.

Hard to tell due to the book being a translation, but Ove frequently calls a gay man "bent" which may have been a slur in the original Swedish text
