Couldn't possibly be because that person is acting like it's our fault we're too weak to have it too with the dismissive "bub" and the cry to "get your shit together."
Just because you don't like who it's coming from doesn't mean it's not valid, practical advice. Take this one on the chin, and get your shit together so the next one doesn't hit you, at least not so hard.
Are you capable of checking the context of a statement before replying to it? The quality of the advice was not at issue. You asked why the person was hostile. Being an asshole begets hostility.
That's not what's happening here. You're justifying someone being a bigger asshole because they perceive someone being a bit of one, or even just being associated with one by being the same age.
