Oh yeah, I have plenty of people in my life who are like that.

They just have to have the last word, no matter what.

For me, it's a THEM thing.

They have to feel like they know everything or that they are somehow more informed/right, even on small shit.

It's their world and we just live in it.

I have friend who is always throwing out advice when I'm just trying to make a statement, voice an opinion or vent.

I learned that I can simply thank her for her advice and change the subject/end our interactions early.

For me, it's constant reminders that I need to limit my interactions and to have a safe space to vent when I can.

Like, if it were me and your dad was all, "You know, this anecdote is technically wrong but it's been so popular to make this incorrect statement that I believe it."
Instead of correcting him, I'd simply be like, "Oh OK." And change the subject.

If they don't drop the subject or the attitude, I find a way to be away from them, try not to show my emotions (often, these types of people in my experience feel a need to call out your "attitude" and no thanks), and do something that won't keep me thinking about how fucking annoyed I feel.

I'm sorry that your dad's gonna be around. Hang in there and...some people are just sorta shitty people and we just...have to find ways to get away from them when we're annoyed.

I know I should be more detached and just go, "Uh huh" and "Oh, okay" and ignore the rest, but damn, it's hard. He can come up with some dumb BS sometimes, and he also has a bad habit of loving to deliver looooong lectures to people about how they should do something, or the best way to [whatever] even though, again, he has NO idea what he's talking about. He just loves to talk and give advice to people and have people treat him respectfully even when he's giving terrible advice.
