It's hard to classify what exactly a "d*ck move" is. Really, it could be anything. The only consistency between all recorded d*ck moves in history is the way you feel after it's been done. There's a sense of revolting anger, something that seethes in your gut, and makes you want to say, "Not cool bro."
Fortunately, we can count on the internet to help come to a uniform decision.
Reddit user, u/Apple-Acid, wanted people to dictate what counts as a d*ck move when they asked:
What is something we can all agree on being a "d*ck move" ?
Decide: Free or Deadline?
Not paying someone back or being being difficult when you owe money to someone.
Don't ever give out personal loans. Give out one-time gifts without expectation of repayment. If they pay you back, then you might gift again in the future. Otherwise, it's a one-time thing.
Just Let Them Off. Be Polite.
GiphyGetting on the train before letting other passengers get off the train first.
Same for the elevator. I was going down the elevator once. This one isn't too busy, but occasionally there will be someone waiting to get on when I get off or vice versa, but it's like 1/20 uses. Anyway, I'm going down and the doors open and this older, maybe 60's or 70's-aged lady literally has her face at the door, waiting to get on. Startled me a bit, TBH, because she was like right square in the doorway. She moved off to the side a bit to let me off.
Your Time Is Not More Valuable Than Anyone Else's
Cutting in line when there's no emergency
Although I don't call people out on it, I'm always glad when there is someone else in line who isn't as timid and does so.
Like, Really? You KNOW That's Not Yours.
Taking someone else's lunch from the breakroom fridge.
Had a guy I worked with who was notorious for this. One day he sees me in the break room and goes "I didn't know that was yours, I took a drink from that."
I figured I'd teach him a lesson, so I said "you know I have herpes, right?" He got all bug-eyed and freaked out. Then I thought, I don't want him spreading rumors about me, so I said "I don't. But if I did, you'd be screwed. That's why you don't do that."
If There's No Room, Make Room
Taking up multiple seats on public transit when you can easily sit in one.
(Caveat, it's fine if it's mostly empty.)
This is the worst. Especially if it's someone who put their bag on the seat next to them. I get it, you want your personal space, but we're all in this sardine can together, so we might as well compromise.
You Can't Have Selective Eyesight
Beating another driver to a parking space, even though they were there first (with blinkers on) about to take it.
Like in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes:
"Face it, lady, we're younger and faster."
rams car
"Face it, girls, I'm older and I have more insurance."
A few friends and I were eating. Bill came to the table, we all laid out our tip money, and my friends boyfriend started pulling money out of the tip for his meal....The look on my friends faces...
I hope you stopped him.
You misspelled slapped
You misspelled [assassinate].
Whoa...D-Move, Bro.
Standing up to get your bags and crowd the gate door because youre Mr. Bigshot just after flight attendants told everyone to stay seated so medical personnel could evac the guy at the back of the plane who just had a heart attack in front of his kids.
Haven't We Grown Beyond This As A Species?

It's The Awkwardness That Keeps Money In Your Wallet
Ordering expensive food and/or drinks while out with friends and that guy says at the end "let's split it all evenly"
My wife has a lot of pretty wealthy friends, and we'll go out to group birthday dinners with them sometimes. This is especially a problem if we do tapas because there are a few guys that will just order a sh-t ton of food and expensive plates, expensive wine, and then expect to just split it evenly with everyone. My wife just tells them f-ck that and pays for what we ate. It's awkward.
Redditor PadWanKenobi was curious to hear what people felt were the tell tale signs they were in the company of a possible genius, leading them to ask:
"What’s a sign of extremely high intelligence?"
Instant adapability
"Ability to intuitively and quickly understand complex systems and how lots of parts relate in a coherent whole."
"Like I work with some people who just keep tons of concepts in their head and easily integrate new information into their understanding of those concepts."
"They immediately know what questions they should be asking to better understand."
"And these are things they're currently working on, not like things they spent time studying in school over years."
"They just have a very strong ability to synthesize new information into their understanding."
"I sit in meetings distracted and confused having forgotten what we talked about in the previous meetings, and these folks just consistently have a solid handle on everything."- Ok-Control-787
Innate Problem Solvers
"They know when not to solve a problem."
"This took me a while to understand but the smartest people I know do this."
"It could be a really simple thing like ignoring emails from people asking for help."
"The supervisor or boss might have a quick and easy solution for the situation but instead of just handing it to the person that asked they let them figure it out on their own."
"They know who they can do this with and when to do it."
"If they did that with all of their underlings it would just create a mess."
"Another example that I can think of is planned chaos."
"Some people can predict exactly where things will go wrong and they could fix it before it creates a problem."
"They don't because nobody ever notices what's going on in the background when things are working perfectly."
"Once things fails then everybody notices and if you are the one person that fixed it you become the hero."
"They can also use then chaos to reach a goal they couldn't get before if things were working correctly."
"There's many examples of this in every day life that I didn't see before until I realized what was happening."- atapes

"If your hand is smaller than your face."- FallofTheKnight
The all knowing glow.
"When someone asks you a question and you push your glasses up while light comes out of it and covers your eyes for some reason."- JonEregor
Those giveaway behavioral quirks
"Wearing glasses and saying things like 'ah yes', and 'I see' while you pensively rub your chin."- iuytrefdgh436yujhe2
Thinking Reaction GIF by ABC TV + IVIEWGiphyEncouraging others
"When they explain something they make the people around them feel smarter, not dumber."- redkat85
Being one step ahead.
"The capacity to understand complex things, see patterns where regular people don't."- Ostepop234
"They have this tendency to make you go 'Ohhh, why didn't I think of that?' when listening to them talk."- did_it_forthelulz
Why Didnt I Think Of That Cillian Murphy GIFGiphyAn endless love of learning
"A passion for knowledge and expanding understanding of complex concepts."
"The plumber can be just as insightful as the scholar."- KatatoniK94
Of course, one shouldn't always be fooled by what they see.
As many people are masters at appearing much smarter than they are.
In fact, one important sign of super intelligence is being able to separate those who appear smart, from those who actually are.
