The mark of the douchebag

As far as indicators go, I've been in Italy so long that I have to go with what I have over here. My number 1 douchebag indicator is anyone who has a Ferrari tag on their non-Ferrari car.

Douchebag.

Is this similar to someone here putting a Mercedes hood ornament on their Chevy Cavalier? Or are you talking about stickers of some sort?

The yellow Ferrari tag. It's a sticker, but it's the exact same tag you'd see on a real Ferrari.

Haha, owned. Never mind I suck. It's just that I've heard that people have it in for people who take spinning classes, which seems weird to me.

Also, Budget Boy and AceLuby's lists were awesome.

EDIT: guids, too bad you didn't get tubgirled for not rehosting that image like Kot and RDH did. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Sunglasses on head >> sunglasses on shirt or whatever. Wtf else is somebody supposed to do with their sunglasses when they're inside?

[adsman]

Oh, I've got one. People who I haven't heard from in a while whose way to get back in touch is to send to my email address a form letter invite to join them on facebook.

Douchebag.

Strong indicators of someone being a d-bag:

1. A guy wearing super-super ridiculously tight t-shirts (even if he's ripped)

2. Sunglasses on top of the head (someone already mentioned this but I think this is the #1 dead giveaway of douchebaggery)

3. Guys wearing sleaveless shirts to the cardroom.

4. A man with a nipple piercing.

5. Anyone who brags about how much money they have.

6. Guys who talk down to people in the service industry for no reason.

7. Some hardass walking down the street like he's carrying two suitcases.

8. Anyone that has a sticker on their vehicle of "Calvin" pissing on anything.

9. Any internet toughguy is guaranteed to be a real life douche.

This is an excellent list. The Calvin sticker is a dead giveaway.

Oh yeah I meant to address that. Don't agree with that one at all and I've taken to doing it all the time lately, since I have abandoned wearing button-down long sleeved shirts in the hot summer and pretty much only wear polo/golf shirts anymore. With the lack of a pocket in my shirt and not wanting to get them crushed, my head is where they go.

This is hilariously awesome.

tuq, Dids,

yeah, that's practical. My main beef with the dude in question is we're at work, in an office. You put them in the case and leave them at your desk is what you do. You don't prance around from meeting to meeting to lunch to meeting and sit in your cube with them on your head for 10 hours. If you're just out shopping or whatever, sure, whatever is fine.

Wrong.

Things that are NOT good douchebag indicators:

1. Somebody being a douchebag. If they're just overtly being a douchebag, you don't need an indictator, now, do you?

2. Some random thing some guy did once that was douchey.

Also, a much truer sign of the douchebag is a tattoo. Pretty much any kind, except if you got it in the military.

[/ QUOTE ]

You're labeling way too big and diverse section of the population for this to be correct whatsoever. You obviously thought of one exception (military) while thinking for the 10 seconds it took you to type your post. There are obviously tons of others as well.

For the record, I hate tattoos, I just don't agree with the post.

[/ QUOTE ]

what do you think are good tattoos? I've now done a minute of thinking on the matter.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's a different question. The reasons behind getting the tattoo are going to be the most telling of whether or not the person is a douche.

[/ QUOTE ]


well if it is so obvious, what are they?

[/ QUOTE ]

My buddy got a tattoo of his dad's initials with angel wings over top of his heart. His dad passed away when he was younger. I don't consider this douchey in any way, and seems like a cool tattoo.

[/ QUOTE ]

Regarding the cool part, not the douchey -- Why?

If the question strikes you even remotely negatively in any way, my point is made.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well for one, I just like the way it looks. For two, its kind of a unique way to honor or tribute a man that he deeply respected and loved.

I always hear that tattoos should be meaningful to the person in some way, or else they are just kinda dumb. I can't think of many that would carry much more personal significance than his.
