Being a Dick
I really could put this in the lessons category, but that kinda goes without saying. I won’t go into specifics because, well, it’s a universal character trait: being a dick. It’s that person who gives you grief in a sarcastic tone even after you’ve been nice to her or him. Such a douchey move. In…
