Captious

A guy or girl who loves to correct petty things. See also: Grammar Nazi
Also a cool insult to use for those who justifiably do not know what this means.

Some guy: Hey man!
Some man: Why's your shoe untied?
Some guy: *looks down* Ha, you got me.
Some man: No, seriously. It's not tied 'cause it's tied the wrong direction!
Some guy: *hard facepalm* Captious idiot...

LATER, CONTINUING TO BE CAPTIOUS:
Some man: Also that other guy who made a definition for this is wrong
