The mark of the douchebag

[BigPoppa]

White collar/cuffs with striped shirt
Never met one of these guys who wasn't a complete Douchebag
Think Lumberg from Office Space



Also, owning a Hummer is pretty much shouting to the world that you're a Douchebag and proud of it.


I really, really don't see the tattoo thing. Sure, there are loads of idiotic tattoos in the world; but I haven't noticed that the people with them are any more assholish than the general population.

I agree with those who disagree with the OPs list of "douchebagery". IMO, letting ANY of the things on the OPs list and most of the other things in this thread bother you at all make you a nit. IF we're going to be labelling people, there's one for everyone.

The #1 general every day douchebaggy thing is when you are the next customer in a line at the grocery store and they open a new till. Then the guy behind you bee-lines for the cashier instead of letting you go ahead of him. That's douchebagery.

1. White oval European country stickers with US beaches on them. Imitating these stickers with beaches is one of the worst fads of the last 15 years. I don't care that you've been to CM, SBL, LB or wherever. Everyone goes to a beach on vacation -- no one cares where you go, you aren't special. For those of you that have two stickers on your car -- we can only hope for a speedy end for you.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks these are lame as [censored]. It's hilarious seeing "OBX" on the back of some soccer mom's 4-Runner as if it's some huge brag. Congrats, you're middle class!

Because we live in a free and open society, we can't just go around putting giant red 'D's on the douches of society. Instead, we are left to fend for ourselves, assessing and avoiding, constantly on the lookout so that some giant douche can't corner us with a story about his douchebag life. I'd like to start a comprehensive list of easily identifiable external markings that are a 100% foolproof sign of douchebaggery.

These are all minor little details nowhere near justifying your grandstanding first paragraph. Try harder nit.

Thread winner. With the proliferation of these I'm sure it's inevitable that friends of mine will be wearing them in public soon enough. I no longer mind that they exist but when I see someone at a nice restaurant wearing them, or otherwise wearing them while not on the phone, I am completely baffled.

Also, wearing sunglasses indoors is a pretty good indication that someone sucks, unless they're like 80 years old and they're prescription shades, but they still suck for being an old person.

Crap. This should be #1. Especially when on a guy wearing white collars on a blue shirt.

Good catch.
