why does being a jerk feel so good?

[brainhulk]

sometimes I catch myself being a jerk to people below my rank at work. I never used to be this way when I was a lowly peon. I guess power really does corrupt...



I have to agree 0/10

Probably because you're a tool. Don't worry, they'll get you back.

Because you're a bad person. 0/10.

Naw, it just allows your inner assholiness to shine through.

Just wait...one of the peons will catch you outside the workplace and give you a good attitude adjustment...

Nothing says STFU like a 2x4 to the back of the head...

Power (in the moment) can feel really gratifying? A decent person who pulls a jerk moment will probably reflect back upon the situation and feel like a dick. Done that plenty of times.

Is your self esteem really that low?
