How Not To Be A Jerk (33 Don'ts)

All of us don't much like jerks. But sometimes we are one? (Bad English?!) If you're a part of the human race there will be times where you do "jerky" things. That's what I meant. (And I'm not talking about eating dried out beef sticks.)

And I guess the goal is to become less and less "jerky." (If we want any friends, it is.) It's this kind of thinking that's given birth to the following list. And if you're wondering how I could come up with so many "don'ts", maybe it's because I'm familiar with some of these from a personal standpoint? (I'll just let you figure out which personal standpoint I mean.)

So here we go with...
