No idea. I don't even like them, honestly.

Nah. I don't feel guilty when I'm a dick. It's just another facet of my personality.
Quote:I know a lot of people who do just that. Some even go as far as to say "Well I've helped that guy, now I can be an absolute prick to the next person I have to talk to". I've tried to see if they demonstrate any signs of an antisocial personality disorder, however, there's nothing apparently wrong with these rich bastards brains. Being a douche isn't usually characterised as a mental illness.
I know a lot of people like that. It's very strange behavior. I used to work at a coffee shop, and during the holidays customers could donate one dollar to a children's charity if they wanted to. We would ask at the end of transaction if they wanted to (keep in mind that it was only one dollar and that they were paying five dollars for a cup of coffee), and most people would snap bitchily, "I already donated to xyz!" So yes, apparently donating your spare change to the Salvation Army means that you can be a dick to your coffee girl.
That will never hold up in court...
