How to tell if somebody is an asshole (in case they aren't wearing a sign that says "asshole")

Overheard on the North/South bus this afternoon:

Guy #1: (shouts to guy #2 who is boarding the bus) Hey C___! Come here, I want to show you something. Look at that guy, the one with the headband (points to a guy on the sidewalk who is wearing a headband and a very sweaty t-shirt and is carrying a squash racquet).

Guy #2: (sits down and looks out the window) Why would anybody wear that?

Obviously to keep sweat out of one's eyes while playing squash is not a good enough reason.

Guy #1: That headband is like an asshole marker. When somebody wears something like that, you can tell right away they are an asshole. They don't even have to wear a sign or anything.

Guy #2: Yeah. Tell me about it.

So, what kind of marker is it when you sit on the bus and shit-talk someone for having the nerve to wear sports attire to play sports? Because I don't think these two guys were wearing any kind of signs.

You don't actually NEED signs when you're proclaiming your assholiness at the top of your lungs on a public bus. :)

Yes, these guys are morons, but I love the idea of an asshole marker. I'm picturing people walking around with little blinking gems levitating above their heads like in The Sims. Wow, I would need to invest in darker sunglasses if that ever happened.
