Jennifer Horgan: There are accidental assholes, and pure assholes. Which one are you?

We all need to accept our susceptibility to being an asshole, but the danger with accidental asshole behaviour is that if it happens often enough it can develop into pure asshole behaviour which is a blatant disregard for other humans

Plenty of pure assholes exist in the news, certainly: the recently arrested Andrew Tate is one example. Photo: Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images

As I see it, there are only two types of people in the world: accidental assholes and pure assholes. You are either one or the other. That’s it.

Most people are accidental assholes. You know what I mean, generally nice people who will engage in accidental asshole behaviour, at one time or another. Yes, I have been one. Rest assured, you will have been one too.
