Advice from Old PeopleSometimes, just sometimes, old people say something worth listening to. Ok, so it's like picking the needle out of a whole haystack of mis-remembered war stories, but those gems should be celebrated.
Tell us something worthwhile an old-type person has told you.
Note, we're leaving the definition of old up to you, you smooth-skinned youngsters.

But you don't let it get to you.

Shouty cuntsI used to work with a guy who's management approach was to shout and micromanage. If you dare ask for clarification of what he wanted, he'd simply repeat his request but louder.
Working with him was a nightmare, I belonged to a separate department and had no training in his field of expertise whatsoever, yet I was expected to magically provide what ever he wanted by telepathy.
Cunt.
