The Hubert Epidemic

An epidemic taking the community of patronizing coworkers by storm. It was discovered in the year 2016 by the same man who discovered Hubert's Constant.

Symptoms include and are absolutely not limited to the following:

Affected person(s):
-will suddenly happen to know everything about everything.

-will correct every pointless slip of the tongue or grammar mistake that you noticed but didn't bother to fix due to the lack of importance.

-will usually begin their sentences with either "aaaactually....", "You DO know...", "You DO realize..." or some other cocky, condescending way of trying to educate you about something.
-are incapable of humility.
-are incapable of admitting they do not know something.
-usually come up with shit.
-will use big words they don't understand to sound more photosynthesis.
-will repeat their 'intelligent' remarks until confirmation that somebody heard them. This may take days.

This sickness is especially contagious in children exceeding the age of 18. There is currently no cure but death.
"Hey man! I think I just put a pin in that really annoying thing people do! I call it The Hubert Epidemic!"

"AAACTUALLY, you DO REALIZE that what you REALLY MEANT was PANDEMIC?! EPIDEMIC isn't worldwide! You DO KNOW that RIGHT?!"

"Of course I do"

"WELL THEN I just CAN'T comprehend WHY someone would make SUCH a STUPID mistake."

"... Fuck you man"
