At work recently a group of people have got together and decided they don't like this other person and now their day is consumed with nasty remarks and gossip about said person. This really pisses me off because the person they have chosen to target has done little to deserve it. In fact the only thing that the person has done is been more popular with some other people in the office- and the established hierarchy don't like this!
The weird bit is most of these people I used to consider to be nice people. They were always nice towards me and seemed to generally care about me and other workers in our dept. what makes nice people suddenly turn into scathing nit pickers? I think a lot of it is some of them are afraid that they will be picked on if they go against the main ringleaders (who are real bitches). This is the same shit that I saw in high school with the popular kids, you'd think that in a workplace with mature people all over the age of 30 it would be a thing of the past? Apparently not. It seems I am doomed to put up with this crap forever. So, I have chosen to do the exact opposite of what everyone in the office does in negative circumstances Ie if they are mean to someone I will befriend them. I'm really sick to death of putting up with this crap and I'm not afraid to be criticised by them or anyone else for not following the status quo.

How to tell if you are a douche
It occurred to me that some people who are douches do not actually realise that they are perceived to be a douche by the people around them. This got me thinking about some bonifide "douche signs" you can see if you wish to self evaluate your own doucheness.
1. When you are invited to someone's house you stay too long and annoy them.
2. You think your opinion is the most important and believe that all others present share your opinion often when the opposite is true.
3. You are loud and obnoxious.
4. You fail to really listen to what other people tell you, instead you wait for them to take a breath so you can interject with a more important story about yourself.
5. You make jokes about other people just to make yourself look good.
6. You laugh like a hyena And/or some sort of donkey lama hybrid, often at loud volumes at your own unfunny jokes.
7. You don't pay equal share on split bills at restaurants. In fact you might even make your partner/friend pay.
8. You like to watch golf on tv.
9. You think fox news is an accurate and unbiased news broadcast.
10. You name drop eg. "so I was down at the health spa with elton, you know elton John and blah blah blah.
Obviously these are just some signs or symptoms of D.B.S (douchebag syndrome) if detected early and if the intention to become a reasonable human being is there, change is possible.
