It's just a fact that some people out there are a lot smarter than others. We aren't all born to be scientists and engineers, and that's fine, everyone finds their own things in life. Some people, though, depend entirely on being smarter than everyone else, and then going to extreme lengths to prove their intelligence to anyone that may listen. Many times if someone has to brag about being super smart, they probably aren't all that smart. These kinds of people are the ones who feel the need to correct obvious jokes, go to lengths to complain about a misused word, or go into a deep dive on a simple comment. Generally, they are also super annoying.

Reddit's /r/iamverysmart is full of documented accounts of people being annoying "smart." For some of them, it's super obvious that they are children trying to gain some praise, and others are clearly adults with superiority complexes. Here are 17 accounts of people showing off their big brains to others online.
