Mini jerks ask all sorts of inane and unsolicited questions about where you’re going and where you’re parking your bike and why you’re locking up your seat and why you’re walking up that fire escape and what apartment you’re going to and if you live there and if you knew that their dad used to live in that apartment before the current tenant.

Mega jerks get disproportionately and irrationally angry when subjected to this form of questioning, feeling suddenly like they have been saddled with the task of facilitating the youthful questioner’s life-long journey of understanding the world around them, and consequently overburdened with that responsibility. The difference between a jerk and a mega jerk is whether a bicycle is thrown in anger prior to the inevitable realization that one can just pretend the questioner isn’t there and the questions aren’t being asked with little to no appreciable change in overall outcome.
