... Far too many times to count.. Lets just say I have a really bad habit of not thinking before I speak and putting my foot in my mouth..

In my calc class in high school there were only 2 girls, one was my good friend who sat right behind me and the other was an acquaintance. The acquaintance was out sick for a week and my friend was constantly complaining that she was the only girl in class. so the day the acquaintance came back to class, without thinking, I said, "wow it must be hard on her being the only girl in class" Immediately I though "shit" and was then thoroughly beaten with a shoe
Each and every time I appear in a thread solely to point out grammatical mistakes the original poster made, before once again vanishing into the ether until such time as I am summoned to hassle strangers for their typos once more!
I've found that by blatantly acknowledging that I know that my ridiculous pedantry makes me kind of a jackass, I neatly avoid any genuine acrimony in the process - whee!

I was running heroic Botanica back during the BC expansion of WoW. My rogue was being beaten in dps by the other rogue, so when she went to sap a mob, I used my distract to make them look in her direction. She was seen and swiftly died. It was funny at the time.
Well soon I will walk up to a kid in my school and say, "Hey, I heard you were caught shaking hands with Mr. Johnson in class the other day."
-I think you can guess what that's about.

Not really so many: "Wow, I'm a dick!" but more "Wow, I scare myself!"
Like yesterday when someone left a gigantic fork in the candy next to my register. (I work as a cashier, and this was one of those forks used when carving meat.) A co-worker walks by asking for returns and a grab the fork and it to him, and tell him "It might be a good idea to get this away from me, *evil laugh*"
Later, I return to my manager and tell them: "There is definitely NOT a dead body on register 11. And if there is, I have nothing to do with it *evil laugh*"
I'm just glad they know I have a VERY VERY dark sense of humor, otherwise I think I would have been fired by now.

Worst moment i've ever had was when i asked one of my brother's friends what happened to his leg after he lost it in a car accident. in my defense i was drunk, high and knew nothing about the accident... still feel like a dick though
Normally I realize the *other* guy is a dick... but I've been told that's a shortcoming on my part. The asswipe who just cut me off in traffic is really just telling me he loves me. Who woulda thunk it?
In my tabletop gaming group the most horrible violence is laughed off. I have discovered my true capacity for dickishness comes to the fore when the people I'm being a dick to don't really exist. For example, the team was discussing what should be done with a captive in the back of their van. My character got tired of the discussion and murdered the captive with no more hesitation or remorse than you'd have killing a fly. The dead captive's bowels immediately evacuated all over the seats and floor of our brand new van...and all I said was, "Note to self: next time, use a tarpaulin."

I work in a pharmacy so; Some guy was coming in to get his medication (early refil) on his pain meds. He showed up the day before we could legally fill them. (Im a pharmacy technician, so I can view the full profiles.) He said he wasnt early and that somehow it was our fault that he couldnt get them. He said he was going to report us to the state board and the company president, all the while cursing at us. I go out a phone book, sat it on the counter, and proceeded to write down the numbers for all the people he wanted to call, plus one number. When he asked what i was doing I told him to go to the drug store on the other side of town, we dont want him there anymore. handed him the paper and said "goodbye". Before he could move I hollered "Next". He was just standing there stunned by what had happened until i told him to get out of the way of my customers.
(BTW then fourth number on the list he was given was to the pharmacy across town)
I was a dick, but once in a while its just fun.

A couple of times, I've had to comfort a friend, and all I can think is that I'd really rather be doing something else, and resent them a little bit for the inconvenience. Then I feel horrible and spend more time with them out of guilt.
I've also dated a few people out of guilt, or because I thought that I somehow owed it to them for apparently leading them on. Then I inevitably end up finding some ridiculous reason to break up with them, and feel really shitty for doing it.
WHY CAN'T I LEARN.

Every time I make a fat joke about my friend, but it's just so easy, plus I don't make black jokes about him, or anything, just fat jokes...though I feel bad about it sometimes
Though one joke that probably makes me a horrible person is about Pokemon white, which I'm sure is done to death but whatever. Was talking with my friend (same one whom I joke with above) and said "I think I want to get the White version, I just have this feeling that it's better and more superior than the Black version." You know he's a bro though because he joked along with me even though we're multicolored friends, because really with us there's no color, just jokes for the sake of enjoyment.
But yeah, when I'm with him though I make some horrible jokes, and I have to be careful where I joke with him because any passerby would think I'm a mad, horrible person, because that's the way America has evolved...
Though I seem to be in the minority in my country for people who didn't cheer and party when Osama was killed, so I think that karma will even itself out

Someone on Facebook just posted "Why do men suck ugh" I was going to ask whats wrong but then I remembered that she was one of the girls to used to berate me in middle school for being unattractive. I'm not sure if I'm being petty or just don't want to respond because we don't talk in real life, but I have a real "fuck that *****, how does she get to be sexist after the way she treated me!" It makes me feel like a dick, but this just happened so I'm still to angry to think about it.
I can only say, I don't because I'm not a dick. I'm genuinely nice but deeply rational. My pragmatism can come off as unkindness or lack of sympathy sometimes, but only when said person who I'm being straight with is deluding themselves or in some other way intentionally or unintentionally being irrational or tedious. Often those things happen simultaneously. Of course most of the time I ignore them or nod and feign agreement with whatever fantastical bullshit they've invented if the first approach didn't work or if it's just too inane to engage myself in. When I make choices that affect other people I make them to benefit the most, and I am constantly considering how I could help someone out. I feel really bad when I don't go out of my way to do something nice I was capable of doing.
I should note, I appreciate blunt pragmatism CAN be a dick move if you're tending to say, a grieving mother. I would of course use tact by being empathetic to her needs, tell her what she wants to hear or what is best for her. Tact is what dicks lack above all, they don't see a necessity for it because they don't consider sociability a necessity.
Exposition... I have felt like a dick for thinking things along the lines of OP though. Logic isn't often kind.
No wait I lied, I laughed at that GIF image of a small girl being kicked by a break dancer the first time I saw it. Then when I realised the speed and force at which she'd been hit might have killed her I felt like a complete arsehole for weeks. I was 12 when I saw it, I think I'd catch on faster now.
