Doesn’t even stand aside when someone is passing with a heavy load,
likes to stand still in a place where people regularly pass,
let’s the person squeeze towards the window seat of the bus instead of siddling his ass to the window and let people get the aisle seat,
beats people to the punchline,
leaks out the outcome of a movie or a novel,
doesn’t wear a tie clip and lets his necktie flap in the wind,
comes out of a bar looking mean and staring at people side to side.
There’s some sports figures who may be lovely people, but who for some reason attract a following of jerks. I’ve known so many jerks who said “oh, I’m not a fan of [sport] at all, but I’m a total fan of [sportman]!”, for specific sportsmen, that nowadays if I hear anybody say they’re fans of those people I automatically file them under “jerk unless and until proven otherwise”.
But they come in all kinds of looks, ages, races, nationalities…
One advantage to having had The Gramps from Hell (who was a lovely, charming person, until he decided not to be), is that I can now detect the Jekyll-Hydes from miles away. But it’s not the looks, it’s the mannerisms. Their face and hands may be friendly, but the looks they give you when they think you won’t notice and the rest of their body language are not.
In terms of facial expression, I’d say sure, things like a smug smirk are a dead giveaway.
In terms of just facial features I’d say probably not, and any correlation is likely because of cause and effect happening the opposite way. e.g. People who look shifty, say, are more likely to be treated like that, and may eventually play up to those expectations, or just find it a little more difficult to do anything that requires people to trust them.

Great post, with a very interesting link, to boot. 
For me, it’s usually the body language, insincere smiles, and a certain amount of how they dress/what they drive.
It seems to be a sure bet around here that some guy who’s artfully underdressed in expensive clothing (i.e. buys his casual clothing at Nordstrom) with a BMW and a Rolex is probably something of an asshole in one way or another.
Chicken or egg? Maybe years of jerkish behavior shows up on your face.
Doesn’t he look like the Grinch?
Oh, you can spot them in Jersey or the Hamptons from a mile away.
There’s even a Facebook page for sharing!
Ha! I was going to say the same thing, substituting Affliction t-shirts.
I can tell. The jerks tend to wear ordinary clothing, have ordinary hairstyles and mannerisms, and act just like the non-jerks, so they really stand out in a crowd.
You can spot 'em by the three neon green slash marks emblazoned on the back of their pickups.
Ed Hardy t-shirts also works. 
After looking through that, I don’t think I will ever go to the Hamptons. That’s a very high per capita centre of douchebaggery, there.
And the guy running the site seems to be a huge douchebag, too. Huh.
Tara Reid’s boyfriend in Sharknado. Absolutely.
Well, there’s this guy.
People described him as “kind, solicitous, and empathetic.”
That’s a pretty good method, though of course it depends on how the person WANTS to be perceived. Some people seem to think that “aggressive attitude” means “cool person”, when it’s not always the case.

Those are the facial features that appear trustworthy vs untrustworthy. I can’t wait for the terminators to find this info.
On a personal note, I was looking up people from HS. I saw a photo of one and thought he looked like a pedophile. So I looked up his name and sure enough, sex offender list (possession of CP). Who knows what that was about though. I have no idea if anyone has studied the ‘creepy sex fiend’ traits.
:dubious:
“Aggressive attitude” could also mean the person wants to be left alone:rolleyes:
