Good point. They don't care even when they're told they're being a jerk.
That's called a defense mechanism. I can't name one person that has the strength of character to just straight up admit being in the wrong when called out on being a jerk on the spot. That part comes later. Sometimes it's harder letting go of your attitude than dealing with it.
Also, Bun's comment is bull. If you define a person as a jerk or an a**hole then you probably aren't intimate with the inner workings of their mind. Making such presumptions is called prejudice, and ya'll know what that feels like.

I don't know. This quote came to mind:
"You can never be 'perfect,' but you can always be 'perfecting,' and a bad attitude won’t do you any good with that - though it will often try to convince you not to shake it."
