I have decided to become a jerk

Oh, and that means Im going to totally use words like, “irregardless” and say things like “from whence.” And leave out randomn apostrophies and disregard spelling and gramer.

Have you considered instead becoming a real stickler for grammar? When someone makes an error, correct them an call them dumb. That’s being a jerk, and you won’t have to suffer grammatical fools gladly.

Forget about it. Believe me, it takes years of practice and at this stage of my training, I am not even in the top ranks of office jerks. You’ll just be outed as a Costanza-esque poser.

This will be a must watch for you.

Huh. Turns out this isn’t a zombie thread. :rolleyes:

See bolding, jerk!

Bolding, did you mean italics?

:dubious:

[Martiju]

No, I meant bolding. The italics were already there.

As with anyone claiming to be ‘smarter than average’, but never actually is, in my experience, people proudly proclaiming they’re going to ‘become a jerk’, because being otherwise is not getting them anywhere, already are jerks, and that’s the real reason it’s not going well for them.

Already tried that myself for the same reasons. Doesn’t work. If you’re not a natural jerk, you’ll never enjoy being a jerk. Jerkdom is a privilege. Sorry.

Agreed. Being a jerk is hard work, even if you’re born with a degree of jerkness.

I settled for being clueless and completely insensitive. It’s a lot easier.

Virtue is its own reward. Sanctimony is a bonus, too.

I know several sanctimonious jerks.

As for myself, I think sociopath is the way to go. You can be an outwardly nice guy when it’s to your advantage, a jerk when appropriate, and a relentless killing machine if necessary.

I don’t see any negatives.

[EvilTOJ]

Being a jerk on the internet won’t get you pussy though. You have to do it in real life, a skill I sadly lack as well

[drachillix]

@wheresgeorge04

You’ll get more pussy, if my experience is accurate.

Yup

So you’re saying the magic was in him all along?

And sanctimony runs back to jerkishness. Loop closed.

I question your level of commitment, Inigo. Our records show that you are not attending the meetings and the treasurer notes that you are 12 months behind in paying your dues.

That sounds like a year’s arrears to our ears.

[EvilTOJ]

That would certainly be a jerkish thing to do, wouldn’t it?
