When a middle aged man offers up his advice to a 20 year old, but the 20 year old never ask for it in the first place, and it's annoying as crap.
*20 year old me on a construction site rolling up an electric chord*
Middle aged man - "That's not how you roll up a chord. Here, let me show you."
20 year old me - "Huh, that's funny, you're the third middle aged man to show me how to roll up a chord, and all three of you did it differently."
Middle aged man - "But my way is the correct way."
20 year old me - "That's what the other guys said. Old man wisdom at it's finest."
