I'm most bothered by people who think they're more intelligent than everyone else and walk around advertising it. If someone is genuinely "less intelligent" then I am, I have no issues with it. Perhaps explaining things can get frustrating, but we're all different and have our strong points and weaknesses. As has been mentioned, intelligence is really an abstact quality that is difficult to be accurately measured. And humour can be a great measure as wavesofeuphoria said, some extremely "smart" people don't get a lot of really simple things. It's all a matter of perception. And I work with people with disablilities so I tend to have a great deal of patience.
