dick move

Thoughtless cruel act

A dick move is a selfish, inconsiderate, or unfair action—the kind of thing only a dick would do.

The phrase emphasizes that the offense was avoidable and often petty: Parking in two spaces is such a dick move.

It typically describes behavior that violates social norms rather than laws, disappointing expectations of basic decency.
