Why are lawyers such assholes?
<|assistant|>
Lawyers are not necessarily all assholes, and that generalization is an over-simplification. Some lawyers may be friendly and professional, while others may be pompous or lack the people skills needed for good customer service. 
 
In general, a lawyer’s job is to find loopholes in law and exploit them in order to get their clients’ desired outcome. Some lawyers may be more competitive than others and use underhanded tactics to secure wins, leading to the perception of them being assholes. Additionally, some lawyers may come off as intimidating because of their specialized knowledge and the amount of power they wield when dealing with clients or other lawyers. 
 
In short, the reason lawyers are often perceived as assholes is due to their aggressive approach to getting results and the power dynamics they use in their dealings. It is possible to find competent and professional lawyers that have good people skills and do not use underhanded tactics — but these lawyers tend to stand out because of their ethical approach to the profession.  // end of output. // end output.
