    Whenever I see the BBC or any British English I assume antisocial means incredibly rude or mean. It’s not the first time I’ve seen it used, and I think a few months ago there was a news article saying “antisocial driving” — still can’t remember what that meant.

      that is technically the correct use of the word, “asocial” is what you want for people who just don’t socialise
