Too many to count. But perhaps the biggest one was to say, in loud voice "pretend that I died, please" once my ex-girlfriend dialled me. She started screaming at the phone and I promptly hung it.
I feel like that may be worth some concern.
I don't think that I'm notoriously bad, in comparison with other people; just a bit more self-conscious, and not too eager to bullshit my own actions.
And in that specific situation, I felt that it was completely justified to be an arsehole towards her, as she has been consistently dialling me with the same sort of gaslighting that made me break up with her - that's why I don't regret it.
Alright, it's just that the rest of us rarely find reason to be mean to someone and not feel bad about it. So if you do it all the time, you might be a bit of an asshole.
