Moments where you sound like (are a) douchebag? Here's mine...
Douchbag Moment #256,512,102.4Me on the phone at the office today: "Hello there, I'm calling regarding my Financial Times subscription. Can you please ask delivery to leave the paper by the apartment building door? My building's concierge gets annoyed of having to drop off the paper at my door. Thanks"
Co-worker via IM: "Pardon me sir, do you have any Grey Poupon? Should I send my butler to talk to your butler?"
Is there a douchebag equivalent to buying "Carbon Credits"? Can I buy a few?
I like!
No thanks!

See there are times when I feel like a "Mister Darcy" screen name makes me feel like a pompous idiot and should be changed, but actions like these completely justify it.

@Laydee:
Which is more smug: Prius or Smart car?
@Moose Elaine:
Yet, we can't talk about it enough.

Smart car, but if you really want to be a douche you should buy a Tesla.

A Tesla isn't smug by default of its name.
It's a good test of stupidity;
"Dude, why did they name a car after a rock band?"

NO, why did they name a rockband after the world's greatest Evil Genius every alive?

How was he evil? The death ray? It was for good. And he was a good friend of Mark Twain! Mark Twain doesn't chill with just anyone, least of all Evil Megalomaniacs.
Trust me, I'm such a Tesla dork that I own the compilation of his patents and writings.

(JARETH IS NOT EVIL. Just SELFISH and HEDONISTIC and POSSIBLY DANGEROUS because of his big bulge)

@Retro: so you recant your last comment then...
But maybe a Porsche is more douchey than a Tesla and Lotus is ultimately douchiest.
retro.joe said, (81 days ago)
That's funny, Lotus actually makes the bodies for the Tesla Roadster. So by that reasoning, the Tesla would be the douchiest (being an electric Lotus, and all).
To which I also disagree, as the Tesla is actually a damned fast car that isn't Camaro-like in douchiness. Plus it's quiet and eco-friendly without looking that way.
I was just reading a marketing article yesterday about how one of the reason's Honda hasn't been able to sell a lot of hybrid Civics is because it looks too much like a normal car. People was something that is Prius-ugly so they can wave it in front of everyone else.
Anyway, in sum... I would buy a Tesla simply because it is a good car. Not for any douchy/smug reason. Also, I don't see how I recant my last statement.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahh snob.
