I wanted to smack Dr House the first time I watched the show. Now that I'm a chronic pain patient, he makes more sense. I have to try to not emulate his assjoleishness.

I think it's a typo, but assjoleishness is a nice portmanteau of assholery and cajoleing. Which kind of fits his character.

They addressed that with flashbacks. His personality was exactly the same before he was a chronic pain patient. Though I see the potential for chronic pain to change personalities.

Ron Swanson is another example. I know the actor(Nick Offerman) said in an interview that while it's a nice idea to have that sort of friend, that friend is probably the worst friend you could have.

I can't even stand a lot of assholes in television either. I'm always waiting for the supposedly sane/badass/intelligent/no nonsense protagonist to just walk away, or better yet, deck them in the face. I have only received catharsis from that actually happening like maybe 3 or 4 times across movies and shows

one man's asshole is another man's brutally honest.

I've usually found people who brag about being brutally honest are just assholes making excuses.

also, i don't brag. i just am. i can't abide hypocrites. why would i brag about something that has caused me nothing but problems with upper management and could easily be solved by brownnosing and being a yes man?
