Notes

? The term "dick" in this essay is generally defined as "an abrasive and inconsiderate person"
of any gender. Therefore this is an essay about obnoxious behaviour.

Telling someone "Don't be a dick" is generally a dick-move — especially if true. It upsets the other person and reduces the chance that they'll listen to what you say.
