Asshole Bias

The tendency to dislike or disapprove of someone’s actions, regardless of their nature, once they’ve been widely deemed an "asshole" by others and their inconsiderate behavior has solidified your personal dislike for them. Even when you recognize that you engage in similar behavior—behavior that isn't inherently rude or malicious—you’ll still feel disproportionate annoyance or anger toward their actions.

"I know I can be a bit loud in public sometimes, but when Sonya raises her voice like that, it triggers my asshole bias—I just can't stand her doing it, even though it's something I’ve done myself."

"I’ll admit, I sometimes text during movies, but when Mark does it, it drives me crazy. His constant texting just sets off my asshole bias"

Asshole

An asshole is an individual that has seemingly dedicated their entire existence to making everybody else's lives miserable. These people are frequently aloof and consider themselves to be superior to those who they are mean to. Typical asshole behavior includes spreading falsehoods about others, pushing others down to get them where they want to go, and treating others poorly. Although there are many varieties of assholes the worst types are the ones that are also simultaneously douchebags and false angels. Although not necessarily true for all varieties of assholes, a great many types of assholes are also ignorant and manipulative.

Individual 1: I don't understand how someone can be such a complete and total asshole!
Individual 2: Yeah, how in the world can they be so mean to people and somehow get away with it?!
Individual 3: Yeah, they're a complete asshole, but the only one who can change them is themselves. *Sips tea.*
