Old men, over the age of any kind of logical use to society who insist on being in control. Usually insistent on being correct, and totally narcissistic in behavior. Often times asking someone's opinion on an issue, but quickly belittling them and criticizing the opinion as stupid or ridiculous right before they tell you the correct way. Never listens or considers anyone else but himself.
You can not win when up against old mantics (old man antics)
You know every single time he comes into the room we know we will be bombarded with "i told you so's", or "you should have's" - he's always up to Old Mantics
