So you hold certain people in self-righteous contempt. Who doesn't? Getting old means suffering through various painful trials — and if you can't get all huffy about what you've been through, what can you get all huffy about?

But don't you think it's about time you learned to hide your scorn and bitterness a little better? Remember, the more gracious and forgiving you sound, the more ruthless those around you will become. Don't come off as the bitter one - it makes other people uncomfortable. Get other people to say what you're thinking, and suddenly it's big laughs all around.
