Smug is incurable. The prognosis is poor. Once you are infected with Smug, it seems to stick with you forever.
Tragically, the people that are most impacted by terminal smug are decent, hard working, peace loving, good nature individuals that are constantly getting fucked over by the smug. It's not a coincidence that so much smug can be found in the typical airport VIP lounge.
Not everyone that goes into an airport VIP lounge comes out smug - but the ones that do are changed forever. Truth be told - if I was granted access to the VIP lounge and had to walk past the USO to get there - I'd almost always stop at the USO to chat with the 80 year old volunteer that keeps the coffee pot full.
Even if Saint Fauci was right and masks could protect you from COVID - masks don't do shit to prevent smug. In fact, there are several studies that suggest folks still walking around outside with a mask on are almost certainly infected with some degree of smug...
...and its going to get worse

Having grown up very poor I developed immunity to smug. I know this because in the past I have infiltrated those lounges while traveling international. The cause of me changing my traveling class was an Arab woman on a flight leaving New York one midnight, heading to Jordan. She was sitting in my seat by the window and refused to move during the boarding process. She played the "no speaky english" card. The young pretty flight attendant went and got a Arab male flight attendant who had words with her in a language she understood. She begrudgingly moved over to the aisle seat. When I sat down she proceeded to put her purse in front of my feet, in my storage area. Being very tired at this time, I had used up all the patience that I had, so I took her purse and threw it on her lap. I then proceeded to elbow her because she felt inclined to want to take up my seat space. Once airborne she found it more comfortable to move to another aisle.
Maybe I created another suicide bomber, I don't know, but my diplomacy was exhausted.
I relate the above because from that flight on I refused to fly coach on international flights and paid for the upgrade to business class. It's that business class ticket that gets you into those lounges full of people afflicted with smug. I'm back to international travel again for the time being, but damn if I make enough money to fly in the upgraded class now. Seems like those seats have quadrupled in price in the past 15 years. I have not had any issue with the smug from my exposure in those years, so I know I have an immunity.
