"You're too sensitive" is the most annoying phrase in America, beating out "No offense, but..."

In med school we called them “gunners”
But the “questions that aren’t questions but attempts to show off” or “questions that really should be asked face to face but I want the attention of the group” as annoying as fuck.
my other favorite is “The group was asked for a specific piece of information so I will supply a distantly related piece of information because I want to participate so badly I don’t care if I waste everyone’s time”. Example:
“does anyone have a wrench?”
“I have a screwdriver”
