This is a question Helicopter Parents

Back when young ScaryDuck worked in the Dole office rather than simply queuing in it, he had to deal with a claimant brought in by his mum. She did all the talking. He was 40 years old.

Have you had to deal with over-protective parents? Get your Dad to tell us all about it.

Really? Because your entire post heavily implied that anyone younger than you, newer than you, or less experienced than you
was somehow 'inferior'. Look at the language you've used - 'lower on the ladder', 'at the bottom', 'below you on the social ladder'. You sound like a pompous prig who has never been able to command the respect of his peers so now demands it from those who he sees as 'beneath' him.

Ah.
You'll find much perceived "implication" to be entirely subjective.

For example, I imagine you're not the sort of person that happily ignores their own assumptioious bigotry while pointing it out in others without any sense of the overbearingly obvious irony in doing so.

Oh no, I notice it.
I have this little thing known as 'self awareness'. You should try it sometime.

Oh right - sorry - I thought you were being serious.
