This is an excerpt from the book "Etiquette For A-Holes".A-Hole. That’s right, I said A-Hole. Don’t let the title scare you. Any word that you might hear on a primetime sit-com can’t really be a “bad” word, now can it? A-Hole sounds offensive, but really it’s just the best word that we have to describe those people, places and things that we encounter in our day-to-day lives that make us want to punch a hole in the steering wheel. A-Holes come in all shapes, ages, colors and sizes, but the one common thread is that they are all selfish, narcissists who think that the rules don’t apply to them. Whether they’re weaving down the freeway, cutting in line at the coffee shop or incessantly blabbing on their blue-tooth headset, they all get under our skin. Read along and we’ll laugh at the shared frustration that these A-Holes inflict on our lives, all the while realizing one universal truth: everyone has a little A-Hole in them.
