It drives me crazy. Those people who have been there, done it and know all there is to know. How do you deal with them? Regardless of the subject matter they always have an opinion, if it differs from the majority then everyone else is wrong but they are right. They care not a jot for your opinion. So should how do you deal with this type of person?

Reminds me of the song " Anything you can do I can do better ". Start humming that, they'll soon get the message smile

Well, I do know someone like that, but the thing is, at eighty-eight and a lifetime in the armed forces and public services, all over the world, he has seen it, done it, and been there, or most of it, and is extremely interesting once you cut through the pomposity.
