    Yeah when I was a kid my dad used to say, “If everywhere you go, you’re surrounded by asshole, you need to take your head out of your ass.”

      I never heard that one! I only ever encountered “If everywhere you walk smells like shit, you better check your own shoes.”

      I don’t know which one I like most. Both gets the point across well!

      My dad said the same thing, except he was always the biggest asshole in the room.

      Narcissism is the strongest drug I know of. But everyone was a narcissist except him, according to him.

      I’m glad he’s dead now.

      interesting, i knew it in a longer form: If you meet one asshole in a day, then you met an asshole. If all day all you meet is assholes, you’re the asshole.
