insufferably
Beyond all patience
Insufferably means in a manner that is impossible to tolerate or endure.
The word usually describes behavior that is excessively annoying, arrogant, or self-satisfied: He was insufferably smug about his promotion.
Someone insufferably pedantic corrects every minor error; an insufferably cheerful person maintains relentless optimism that grates on others.
