A-Hole Things You Do Just to be an A-Hole

I poke needle holes in condoms at the grocery store.

Yes, I am the reason they are only 99.9% effective.

They are sealed for a reason, anyone that can't figure out they are brokem would be brain dead. Oh, now I get it you are being an a$$ by degrading the gene pool.

I used to be with a girl who was bilingual. Every time we went grocery shopping I would read out loud all the French words on everything that went into the cart, but butchered the pronunciation on purpose, just to annoy her.

If you set your mirrors properly, you don't need to shoulder check:

Powerpoint anything is an a#### move. Presentateing powerpoint is just plain going to far.

While a good mirror setup is useful, I still think you need to do a shoulder check. There are just too many factors that come into play when driving to rely on only one thing...it's always good to get confirmation.

Personally, doing a shoulder check with every change has been burned into me since the start, so now it's second nature to the point where I do it automatically even when someone else is driving. It's saved me a couple times from stupid mistakes....because even if you have the right mirror setup sometimes you get tired, are a little zoned out, are in a situation where condition change fast (especially in busy city driving). A shoulder check can save your ass.

Besides, I'm really uncomfortable with the idea of telling people not to look where they are going. Plenty of drivers are already not paying enough attention to their surroundings, we don't need to give them an excuse.

I throw my jersey on the ice to show discontent with an organization that believes I "owe' them my hard earned money to ice a team that half-asses it the majority of the time and then feeds me some bullsh*t line how their main objective is to be competitive year after year.

Sneak up on my employees, nothing like a good scare to get the heart rate up and productivity up.

The other a-hole thing I do is make posts that make no sense when I have had a couple to many. At least this is the a-hole thread.

I am guilty on a couple occasions of slowing down when I see a hitchhiker only to carry on my way.
...in reality I am way to scared to consider picking one up.

Not sure if I'm an A-Hole for doing this but......

I can't stand stopping at an intersection behind a "creeper". This is the person in line who stops a car length or so behind the car in front and then while the light is red, they will periodically creep closer to the car in front. This is likely because the car in front of them is also a "creeper".

Needless to say, I hate this! they can creep and crawl all they want, I will sit there with my foot on the brake, sometimes I have a 2 car length gap between me and the car in front before the light finally turns green....don't care!

Having your mirrors properly adjusted is safer because it allows you to check the lane beside your car without taking your eyes completely off the road ahead of you. This is not my opinion, it is taught in many advanced driving courses such as the AARP Driver Safety Program.

I was doing a big period end inventory at work all day today. My boss was being a b*tch all day long. At the end of the count, 4 very important numbers were substantially off. I know why, and I know it'll probably take her 1-2 extra hours to figure it out.

I left for the day without telling her.

Oooooh, I freaking hate creepers! I think they're the a-holes, not you. You're actually being nice to the people behind you, who can avoid the creep.
