You’re describing the characteristics of the same person.

Someone who think they are always right—and almost always are in fact right—is annoying but also useful.

As someone who is always right, I can definitively say that when someone wrongly thinks the world revolves around them, they are the most annoying thing compared to someone simply being wrong in my presence. They should know the world revolves around me smdh.

Legit though, solipsistic narcissism is more entertaining than inaccurate pedantry, ap I go with the knowitall

Believing one is right does not inevitably lead to acting in violation of the rights of others.

I would argue that a narcissist who places themselves at the centre of everything, on the other hand, that set of conceits absolutely will lead to that sort of behavior.

Does it need to be a competition for which one is worse? They are both equally annoying.

Doesn’t have to be a competition. Just an observation
