Don't Be An Asshole is a common sense guide to common courtesy in the age of Facebook and low-rise jeans.  Here's how to not be an asshole online. 


A Facebook wall is not a place for condolences. Really, is Grandpa’s memory best honored in between Farmville and “What Real Housewife of Miami Are You?” quiz results?  Grandpa shot down Nazis.  Send a sympathy card!  Don't be a Facebook Asshole.
 


If you're asking a stranger to be Facebook friends, your profile shouldn't be on private lockdown. And include a message with your request.  Don't be a Creepy Facebook Asshole.


You have an iphone.  You definitely got the email.  Emails don't evaporate, you're just disorganized.  Don't be an Email Asshole.

Thank you for replying to my email and asking questions that were answered in my first email.  I’m sorry you are too busy to bother to read it and I now need to take time out of my life to repeat myself.  Don't be an Email Reply Asshole.

Don’t “Like” your own comments or retweet your own tweets.  Don’t be a Masturbatory” Asshole.

No, I’m not endorsing you on LinkedIn.  We met at a BBQ.  Don’t be a LinkedIn Asshole.

You just replied to my text! Why aren’t you picking up my call?!  Just don’t be an Asshole.
