So, there is studies on Assholes. They aren't called that, but you ask any actual academic and they will know papers. I small time studied mass shooters and terrorists so I knew some stuff. The term means anyone willing to break the rules for their advantage. Shooters are way higher up than the guy who cut you off.

This guy is breaking the social rules to get an advantage to what he wants. He is an asshole. Of course he's a lawyer so he was one anyway...

Interesting. That sounds like a pretty good definition actually.

Yeah. The term is a reference from Red Dwarf. The episode where they meet Krysten and Lister describes how to refer to Rimmer when being polite.

There are rules about these types of people as well.

It doesn't matter what you do, there will be someone trying to take advantage of it.
If you more need to get out of a bad situation, the more the use of assholes become useful.
Any organization dedicated to stopping assholes, will be full of them.
If someone says we need to stop these assholes, they are hiding their own asshole tendencies.
