Meet the douche bag. He’s in love with himself. He’s wearing the most ridiculous outfit you’ve ever seen. He makes everyone in the room uncomfortable and just can’t seem to take a hint. Worst of all, he’s everywhere. He’s in your math class, he’s at your parties and he’s taking over your news feed. The influence of douche-baggery is all around us, from Ed Hardy T-shirts to dudes wearing Uggs.

It’s plaguing innocent young men who would otherwise be potential boyfriend material and morphing them into intolerable creeps. If it’s so prevalent, if so many guys are making the same douchey mistakes over and over again, then why is the disease still spreading?

It’s because one of the fundamental characteristics of a douche bag is that he has no idea that he’s a douche bag. It’s time to get rid of that ignorant bliss. Don’t kid yourself, guys! Take this quiz, and if you find that you’re leaning toward the douche end of things, seek help immediately.
