From Dr. Goulston:

Ten Ways to Recognize a Jerk:

1. They interrupt.

2. They don’t take turns.

3. They take advantage of people who are down.

4. They gloat in victory.

5. They are sullen in defeat.

6. They are not fair.

7. They lack integrity.

8. They are the people you hope you won’t grow up to be like.

9. They are the kind of person you wouldn’t want your sister (or brother or child) to marry.

10. They are the kind of person you’ll avoid, if you can break free of them.
