| but I generalized "people" for good reason. average person's IQ = 100 average engineer's IQ = 127 (that's almost 2 standard deviations above the mean and in the 96th percentile) Thus, approximately 96% of people are unintelligent relative to us (based on IQ scores), and may likely say or do something that annoys us as such. Disclaimer to people not related to the field: IQ tests are logic tests... there are several types of intelligences (art, for example), but for engineers and mathematicians, logic is the important one and that is why I feel IQ tests are a good demonstration of my point. I'm not saying that if you're of average IQ that you're automatically stupid... you likely have a different type of intelligence (feel free to call me artistically retarded), and are just not as logical as we'd prefer you to be.
