      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.”

        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.

        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!

          There’s a joke in french where a guy visits the doctor, and goes “when I touch here it’s painful… and also here… here as well…” and the doctor goes “show me your finger, it’s broken”

        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.
