“Don’t be a jerk” is a phrase I’ve taken from Brad Warner’s book of the same name.

I take it as a reminder to myself to be upright and compassionate in my dealings with others. It’s not easy to do, especially when emotions run hot, so if you ever think I’m being a jerk to you or others, call me out on it by saying “Hey Jeremy, don’t be a jerk!“.
