I get most annoyed by lawyers in a work setting and at social events.
When it comes to random people you have to run into the worst has to be some sort of lazy arse generic government customer service employee.

I did find that out with Real Estate brokers for sure. They get the cheese while making everyone around them work. Smart cats I guess.

Yes. I’ve seen plenty of truck drivers be dicks to other truckers.
But of course non-truck driver dipshits too.

Lol very much so. You’re also proving how your hubris supersedes any perception of ironical play on those who think they’re more intelligent than they actually are also.
ETA: I know you typed that all smug and sure of yourself too. I’m betting that you’ll respond with some reasoning why you couldn’t get the actual joke, if you take the time to respond at all. I have managed to 25 engineers the last 2 years. I’m accustomed to fixing your overconfidence before it costs you your job.

I imagine very few people here deal with actual management consultants.

Always assumes they’re the smartest person in the room. Happy to shite on non certified PE’s ideas because they know so much more than you. Yet they always seem to frick up the design, over estimate their knowledge, and cost millions to correct their hubris.
You’re right, and you’re wrong.
Engineers plan and figure and design based on how it should work.
Big picture stuff, a mass of moving parts, cogs turning gears, a grandiose plan with a predetermined outcome.
The problem is, and while I could quote great thinkers, I’ll go with something much simpler.
The real world doesn’t work how you think it should. Engineers engineer based on what should be rather than what is. No one can see all the bugs, especially from a lofty tower.
It’s not until you implement it and the men on the ground, the worker bees, can see what isn’t going to go according to plan.
The problem is when the engineers can’t just shut up and listen, accept that things aren’t going as planned, and work to fix it.
They’ll press on with their assumed infallibility and nothing will turn out right because they Aren’t willing to humble themselves.
You know why the basic tools of carpenters and masons have endured basically unchanged for millennia?
Because they are simple, and they work.
You can add doodads and time savers and other stuff but the principles don’t change.
Accept that, and you can truly begin to learn.

Real architects are pretty annoying, but if you run into someone with a title like "software architect" prepare for a serving of USDA Grade A bullshite.
If you actually do what these people say, your project will take 10x as long as it should, and you ultimately won't even get any credit for it. I say this because, by the time you finish, the "architect" will have moved onto some entirely new set of annoying technologies and precepts.
And that's really what makes "maintainability" and "doing things right" such shibboleths in the software industry. Everything is very transitory and what you write will likely be either thrown away in a few years or despised by its users as a "legacy system."
Better to just hack everything together as quickly and cheaply as possible.
We might be in a similar line of work.

In the medical field I work with nurses on a daily basis and I can tell you over the last few years they have been the most insufferable group of people by far.
Not a nurse but I can relate in that dealing with patients and doctors have been an absolute nightmares. ER Doctors are always over killing the ordering process when it comes to patients. And a lot the patients they deal with are the ones that are truly insufferable. It’s like working at a daycare center for adults.

Managers. Don't pay shite attention to a project, have forgotten all of their engineering skills if they ever even had them and still insist they can make design choices, ignore even the most basic estimates on complexity and time and pretty much make their own schedules, then get pissed at the engineers for not getting the work done.
You have a shitty manager.

I always thought that if you can't read the undergraduate catalog and figure out what you need to take when, then you probably don't need to be pursuing a degree anyway.
I thought that would be mainly what the job is too, but there's a ton of administrative hurdles that advisors have to jump over. Not to mention the possibility of having to deal with an angry student when you tell them something they don't want to hear.

Army folks.
When you have a problem in the army, you present your problem to someone who’s supposed to help you, i.e.- your pay is fricked up, you go to finance.
First they go down some sort of checklist to find someway that it isn’t their problem, or some way to say no.
If they are clearly wrong about something, its “well, I’ve been doing this my whole career”.
