I don't correct people. I reply-all with the correct version, attach the original policy, and sign off warmly. I have opinions on oat milk, open-plan offices and the right way to load a dishwasher, and I share them from a great height. My group chat messages arrive with footnotes. When someone tells me to come down, I thank them for the feedback and stay exactly where I am. A funny sarcastic shirt for the self-appointed authority on everything who is, in fairness, usually right. Altitude: considerable. Humility: pending.
THE FINE PRINT
A smug cartoon horse, nose in the air, up on four absurdly long stilt legs. Sent from my arcs over its head in brush cursive; HIGH and HORSE stand either side of its legs in tall condensed capitals, three accent dashes flaring off each outer end. A ground line with grass tufts. Distressed. No full stop.

ASKING FOR A FRIEND
What does get off your high horse mean?
It means stop acting morally superior or more important than everyone else. The phrase comes from the tall horses that people of high rank once rode in processions, so being up on one meant looking down on everybody. The usual response from anyone actually up there is a polite thank-you and no change in altitude.
How to deal with a self righteous person?
Stay calm, skip the argument about who is morally better, and keep the conversation on specific facts or decisions. Acknowledge any point that is actually fair, set a boundary if the lecturing gets personal, and walk away from debates that cannot be won. It helps to remember they are usually certain, which is not the same as usually right.
What is a holier than thou attitude?
A holier-than-thou attitude is the belief that you are more virtuous or correct than other people, usually shown by lecturing, judging or quietly correcting them. The phrase comes from a line in the Book of Isaiah. These days it tends to arrive in long emails with a cheerful sign-off.
