For me, stupidity doesn't so much reflect the person's intelligence as their choices. I mean, if someone doesn't understand, that's not their fault, and I try to be patient and explain some other way. If someone is capable of understanding my explanation, but isn't paying attention, or just assumes I must be wrong because of the way I look or some other dumb reason, then I do get very annoyed.
And, of course I get annoyed by really stupid questions:
"Can you watch my kid while I go the bathroom?" (attemts to hand me a one year old child as I am trying to lifeguard a pool with 150 people in it.)
"Uh...no." I cannot properly scan the pool if I am being directly responsible for a single person. Nor could I jump in to save someone, as then your one year old would likely get hurt or into trouble while the lifeguards are distracted with the first rescue. My shirt does not say "babysitter."

jan4ix -- I could start an entire interest on mylot with all the stupidity I've had to put up with as a lifeguard.
"What do you mean I have to stay in the shallow end just because I can't swim?"
"What do you mean I can't leave my 4 year old unattended running around the community centre while I have a swim?"
It's ridiculous, truly.

I think sometimes we have so much going on in our lives with trying to juggle school, work, family and personal goals that sometimes we get subconsciously annoyed and stressed out.
It is then that we get a bit perturbed by the annoying questions and answers. If you recognize this at the moment, I say it is time to take a breather and have some quiet time as to re-charge the emotional cells so that the simple things do not bother you as much.

Maybe you just have high standards, and the stupid questions and the stupid answers just doesn't cut it for you. They might just not been able to meet your standards.
Or maybe you are just stupid as well.

Who wouldn't get annoyed by a stupid question and answer? I would get annoyed too by that. Sometimes i may be answering a stupid question but i really don't intend to do it. Out of nowhere my stupid answer or stupid question would just pop out, and i really would ask for forgiveness if i did annoy anybody.
