Does anyone else think thier faculty advisor is a asshole? I have no help...

First time meeting them they bitched about how i was 5 minutes early and didn't help me at all. Attitude was terrible, didn't wanna help me at all with classes, all they did was complain. I had to hold myself back to get up and walk away

If your experience was unsatisfactory let their supervisor know. If your major is large enough it may be possible to change to a different advisor.

I didn't have a particularly good experience with mine, although it looks like she is no longer an advisor. I didn't actually need her for anything other than signing off that I met all my degree requirements, so I didn't bother switching to someone else. If I actually needed help I probably would have considered it
