What is the douchiest thing you've seen someone do?

1. Nothing too crazy but I was third in line at a gas station to pay when the customer at the register drops a $5 bill or whatever out of his pocket when he goes to pay. The douche in front of me puts his foot on the bill so when the first guy leaves, he can clean up. So when the first guy turns to leave I say, "Hey man, you dropped some cash". The look on the second guys face as he moves his foot to reveal the money was wonderful. I felt like a hero that day.

2. Friend asked me to help him and his girlfriend move into their new apartment together the day after Christmas. I didn't want to, but he's a friend so why not make it work. Everybody else bailed, but I spent the day helping him. The next week at their house warming/new years eve party they decided to invite a dozen people, but we weren't one of them.

3. Worked in the gun department of a large sporting good store. Guy comes in and wants to check out a shotgun we have on sale. I pull one off of the wall where they are locked up and behind the counter. Hand him the shotgun and he looks it over. Says he wants it so I tell him I am going to check in the back to see if there is one in a box. There wasn't so I come out and ask him if he was cool taking the one he had checked out. He immediately gets an attitude and questions me why I don't have one in the box in the back. I tell him that they just happened to have all been put out as displays but they are rarely handled and never toyed with. He asks for my manager who I happily call over. She starts dealing with the guy who demands that model of shotgun but in the box. I am forced to call around to all of the other stores in our area and ask if they have the gun in a box. None do but I tell the closest store to just put one back in the box and place it in the back for the guy. I go back to my manager and the customer and inform them that I have found one in the box and the guy can go pick it up. Guy is not having that. He wants it delivered to this store. My manager ends up calling in the store manager (who wasn't currently at the store) to deal with this fucker. When the store manager gets there and informs the customer we cannot just have them send the gun over because of firearm laws the guy proceeds to get in the store managers face and tell him that he is an ex-cop. Guy left and never got his gun. If we had ended up getting it for him I would have refused the sale because I wasn't comfortable selling him a firearm. Which we were allowed to do.

4. During college- we had to give a short presentation of our paper to the 200+ person class. This presenter happened to be a student with a very noticeable stutter. The two girls sitting in front of me started to imitate him in a very cruel way, laughing all the while. And that too, openly enough for the student to see them. Finally someone loud whispered for them to shut the fuck up. And they did.

5. I used to work in an English teaching centre on Hong Kong Island in 2012. Cut a long story short, one of my young students was a passenger involved in the dreadful Lamma Ferry collision that left 39 dead and 92 injured. She was actually on the ferry that sunk with her father, but the pair miraculously survived. Her dad had come in to drop her off to class the week after and told me the story while showing me the dressings on his leg wounds where he had sustained deep gashes trying to get him and his daughter out. He was a pleasant middle aged guy with literally no reason to lie. Towards the end of the retelling he showed me two books in that the girl had borrowed from our library that had been in her bag during the incident. They had clearly been heavily water-damaged. I naturally took them and told him that was no issue/problem. Later on in the day I relayed the story to my boss, talking about the sheer coincidence and relief that the girl was ok and simply told him about the water damaged books. They weren't particularly expensive (Oxford reading tree) so I expected him to naturally accept it. It was a week later when my administrator told me that the girl wouldn't be attending classes anymore. I was a little bit miffed at this, as the last exchange was very positive. I later found out that my *unt of an ex-boss had gotten my administrator to call up the parent (while I was out of the centre) demanding compensation for the damaged books. Naturally the parent was enraged by this and cancelled all further classes, losing what was previously a long term student.

6. Was working Christmas at my old pub, Christmas Party from a nearby office is in. Guy gets the next round in, pays with a Fifty. I take out his £25 change and he tells me, loudly, to keep it as a Tip. I'm absolutely blown away and thank him, and after his colleagues all get their drinks and say how nice he is he walks back to the bar for his pint and silently gestures for me to hand him his money back. Instant sadness. I decided to ruin his day by saying loud enough for his friends to hear: "If you really want to take that tip back, here you go, sir." What an absolute bastard. At *Christmas*.

7. This old lady was checking to see if her ballpen would work. She tried test writing on the shirt of the girl in line ahead of her

8. I remember a thread in r/iamverysmart shown a Facebook screenshot. In the picture, a woman was trying to connect to her "smart" son by reading books on advanced physics, she updated a status saying that she was starting to understand quantum, space, neutrons, etc. Her son replied the post by simply saying that “the things you read are just the most basic concept of physics, I don’t even care to talk about it. If you want to learn, try harder.” To which the poor mother just replied “OK, dear. I’ll learn more.” I’m a foreigner who rarely applied the word “douchebag” in real life, but that post just got me saying “what a douche”.

9. My brother and I never knew our father. Our half-sister (who we met as adults, long story) set up a trip for all of us to reunite. My brother and his family, my sister and her family and I all took off work, traveled a thousand miles, and rented a place to MEET our dad for the first time as adults for a week on father's day. We all get together and talk and share and bond. Aunts, uncles, cousins etc. the whole time we are there. Dear old dad is quiet the whole time. We think "Maybe he's shy or not fully into this whole scenario yet" and let it slide. So near the end of the week we go on a boat with one of my sister's friends for about an hour. We invite dad but he says no, he's not into the boat thing, whatever. When we come back he's livid that we left him for that hour, when it's supposed to be a father's day get together. He throws a huge fit and ends the trip on a real shitty note. Arguing with everyone and getting crazy. We spent so much time, money and energy putting this together, he can't say a positive word about it, but when we leave for an hour he flips out. If you've ever seen Talladega Nights, the character of Ricky Bobby's dad really reminds us of him, also coincidentally from North Carolina (Will Ferrell's parents are from the same small town). When something is going well, he has to torpedo it so no one can be happy.

10. This lady parked right outside of a gas station, threw her trash on the ground outside of her car, then went inside and stole 2 bags of Chex Mix.

11. Saw this guy run a red light and almost hit an old man on the cross walk. He stops his car to yell at the old man for getting in his way, the old man gave him the finger. This guy gets out of his car and starts squaring up. It is 5pm on a busy road and his car is blocking two lanes. After 15 seconds of yelling at this old guy he decides it was enough and gets back to his car and peels out.

12. In high school my best friend and I won tickets to a sneak preview of Super Bad, the theater was super packed and some promo guy came out with a cardboard box of swag, handed some stuff out and set it down and walked away. This lady from the front row grabbed the whole box and sat down with it in her lap while the whole theater booed her and she left.

13. This really douchey husband of my wife’s friend, at a dinner ordered heated cognac. After claiming it wasn’t warm enough for his refined taste (loudly so everyone could hear) he swirled it above a candle on the table to heat. Not THAT douchey, but everything about his screams “I’m a tool” and even this stood out.
