Karma Is A Bitch

Law #15:  While it may pay off in the short term, being a asshole will screw you over over time.

Mean people suck.  Unfortunately, there are a lot of them out there and they're running around free to do their assholery.  Assholery, however, begets assholery.  I will admit, being an asshole has a lot of short term benefits.  It creates an illusion of confidence that women seem attracted to.  It gets you things you want because people just want you out of their space as soon as possible. Being an asshole makes you memorable.

But eventually dickishness will catch up to you.  While people might defer to you while you're around, when you're not, nobody trusts you for anything.  When you're not around, the people who you've been an asshole to are exponentially happier (naturally you don't care, because you're an asshole).  And the ultimate comeuppance, when you actually need something from someone you're been an asshole to they will in turn be an asshole to you.  Assholery begets assholery.  You'll find with time you have to go further and further out of your way to do things because everyone in your immediate vicinity knows you're an assshole and they want as little to do with you as possible.

Now I realize my post sounds like it's geared towards men but I'm equal opportunity.  Women also have incredible capacity for assholery.  We just don't call them that.  We call them what we call Karma.
