Mine is the volume of their voice. If all that they can do is just talk too loudly with no reason for it and don’t control the volume of their voice. That to me is a sign that you’re a stupid fuck. Because people think the louder they are, the more righteous and attention seeking they are. Than it is to just listen, digest and respond accordingly to anyone talking around you.

Not learning and adapting, never admitting they’re wrong when they actually do realise they are wrong.
Managers tend to not like me.
Refusing to learn is the most frustrating things. Working computer repair this would be the surefire way that 1) I was not going to like you and 2) you were going to be a moron who will give me a lot of money of the years.
“I lost my Gmail password.”
“Sure let me show you how to reset it”
“NO. JUST DO IT”
“sigh, that’ll be $30.”
I would always try to teach people how to do things. Refusing to learn at all though, well, I’ve always wondered if there’s a link to refusing to learn anything new and dementia
People who believe in the bible as a historic document.
Very frustrating, especially when the book itself has a lot of fairly direct “this is symbolism/allegory/not to be interpreted literally” statements within.

Above everything, lack of curiosity. If someone is uncurious, it’s a big red flag to me.
This is the main thing I come up with because curiosity is the one thing that keeps ignorance from being a temporary state.

Not keeping a constant speed when driving on the highway. Just pick a speed and drive.
If you don’t have cruise control and keep your foot steady, your speed will vary naturally with the road.
While I agree with you, I would like to point out one exception I’ve noticed: veeeeeery occasionally you’ll run into someone with an old junker that either has a broken cruise control or an old, not fully maintained cruise control system.
My old busted up, 70% rusted-out ’99 Ford Ranger that I had bought for like $1000 had the latter problem, where the cruise control would work, but its accuracy sat at around ±1–2 mph or so.
It’s annoying when the vacuum system has a small leak so, over that long road trip, the car is always slooooowly losing speed. It’s such a nightmare to diagnose, at least as a DIYer.
My car is a 2015 and didn’t come with a cruise control lol :(.
To be fair, I can drive at and maintain a consistent speed without it, though I didn’t have to often thanks to stop and go traffic 🎉.
Like, at all? From the factory? That’s very strange, I would think.
Yup. Toyota Yaris '15 stock. Lowest trim they offer.
Wowzer.
I drove a base model Ford Fiesta about five years ago that did not ship with cruise control functionality of any kind. I was surprised as well, but the practice does exist.
Conservative politics, as Mill points out, stupid people are attracted to it. Many of them will plant a sign on their lawn to let you know.

Religion of any type.
I’m less certain. Lots of intelligent people can get caught up in such things. Religion depends also on upbringing and cultural background.
This. One of the smartest guys I know, running a worldwide software business, is religious. Faith does not equal stupid.
Blanket elitism about atheism, or rather blatant anti-theism, is one of mine.
Anyone who refuses to change for any reason.
When they don’t use their indicator signal.
Some people aren’t self monitors. A lot of stupid/ignorant people are loud, but being loud can also be lack of awareness of their volume, hearing deficit, or cultural
My brother has tinnitus and sometimes doesn’t realize his voice is really loud.
for no reason
Just for the sake of argument, one good reason is actually something I dealt with for a while there: after having worked in a factory where hearing protection was absolutely mandatory for close to a year, for like two years after leaving that job I found myself shouting, even indoors, without even realizing it. It had just become second-nature.
My point is even if there doesn’t seem to be a reason, there might be.
Edit: Just to be clear, it was a job where hearing protection was mandatory, and I was there for close to a year; it wasn’t only mandatory for close to a year. Lol.
Maybe they’re hard of hearing and don’t know.
I have really bad social anxiety and will either speak too quiet or too loudly when i have to talk to somebody, there’s other reasons someone might speak too loud.
I’ve always valued privacy when having a conversation in public. I speak loudly enough for the person I’m with to hear me. I’ve never understood people just yacking loudly so the whole world knows their business.
Loud college students were having a conversation behind us yesterday (the museum is near the university). I stopped and my partner was stopped by us holding hands. Waited till they got about fifteen feet in front of us and resumed walking.
And NOW on the mobile phone on speaker… it’s a concept I don’t get, nor want to.
It also makes me feel like an old grumpy man because I dislike it so…
Don’t ever go to Spain. They are loud as hell. They all yell at each other at full volume while having multiple TVs and phones blaring on speaker.
