Don't Be An Asshole is a common sense to common courtesy in the age of Facebook and low-rise jeans.

In previous posts, we learned how to be not be an asshole online, at the gym and at parties.  Here's the final installment of tips on how to generally not be in asshole...in general.

 


To the perma-sick: No one cares about your 13th cold this year or your cramps. There are dead people in rubble somewhere. 

Don't be a hypochondriac asshole.


If someone takes the time to think of you, take the time to thank that person. 

Don't be an ungrateful asshole.



Don't ask a co-worker personal questions. You're the accounts payable lady, not her mom & she's not ready to tell you if she's pregnant.

Don't be a nosy asshole.


Lactose intolerant? Really? So cheese makes you a little gassy. Welcome to eating food. Eating is (pun intended) a crapshoot.  Shut up.

Don't be a whiny asshole.


If you’re late, call! Don’t make the person waiting for you to pick up the phone to see where you are.

Don't be a flaky asshole.

If someone wanted you to know how much something cost, she would’ve kept the price tag on.

Again, don't be a nosy asshole.


You don’t have to be in such a panic to grab the plastic divider bar and separate your eggs & diapers from my wine & Red Vines.

Don't be a supermarket asshole.


The Wave.  Don’t underestimate the power of the wave when another driver lets you in. 

Don't be a driving asshole.


Can I sit here or did your bags also pay full fare?

Don't be a mass transportation asshole.


I'm sorry my fingers grazed the fork I handed you.  Please make me feel bad at it and ask the busboy for a new one. I hope his ass grazed it.

Don't be a germ asshole.


Yes, I have a pen you can borrow.  Please don't bother to hand it back to me so I don't have a pen at all.

Don't be a pen borrowing asshole.


Can we put the kibosh on the use of "toxic" & "I didn't get the memo?"

Don't be a cliché asshole.
