Here are a few of mine:
People who refer to any relative that is younger than them as their wee/little cousin, nephew, god daughter etc. I can usually guess by how you talk about them what age they are.
Grown men and women who go about on either scooters, skateboards or those bikes that look like they are made for 5 year olds.
Women in there forties and fifties who wear t-shirts with B*tch, P*rnstar etc on them. You are probably some ones mum or granny!
People who insist that you re-tell something you said to someone else's because it was funny at the time. Humour is fleeting. You have to be there!

I try not to be annoyed. Patience is a great anti-stress mechanism I developed with time. I think small annoying things will always be there, so why get annoyed all the time? It only raises stress and impatience for other people.
Everytime you think of something that is annoying you, try to think it is not so bad that person does it - after all, it doesn't hurt anyone, right?

I wish it were that easy, and actually the person or thing could be harmful because it could lower the one that is getting annoyeds self esteem. I know it happens to me all the time, I try not to get annoyed but the more I try not to the more I do, and it lowers myself esteem knowing that I let them get the best of me.

I guess I have several. One of them being people on "cell phones"! I hate being behind someone at the store, and have to hear every bit of their conversation, which usually amounts to nothing more than gossip about friends or how their day went. And people who DRIVE with the darn things, that's just stupid. Also, I get so annoyed at what young people wear. Do they honestly look in the mirror before they go out the door? Wearing clothes 3 sizes too small for a larger female is just wrong; or the g-string showing above those low rider jeans. But even worse, those ugly baggy pants with the boxer shorts popping out at the top is the most annoying thing on men ever. How can they stand walking like that? It looks retarded. And I guess one last thing, parents who let their kids scream and throw tantrums in the store and ignore them. Is that truly necessary? There's my two cents worth lol.

The things that annoy me the most is in this new suburb where we live the young boys roar up the road on a bike that has a motor at the back of it and also the cars that go speeding up the road as the police here are doing nothing about it, you cannot hear anything when they do this.

I don't exactly get annoyed,but a few small things might irritate me like the nightingale trying to impress everyone with her voice at 2AM when I am trying to sleep or work,the internet not connecting when I need it most,getting my friends mobile busy when I need to badly talk to them ,an overly hot day,having to wait on phone for a long time to talk to customer care department and arrogance in people.

Some things I don't like are: people who comment on my weight (about how fat I'm getting) when they are twice as big as me, someone talking on a cell phone while they cut me off in traffic, getting right in front of me so they can stop to make a left turn, someone telling me to hurry-up (I can only go so fast),someone trying to cut in front of me in the bathroom line at a concert or other big event,people who don't clean up after themselves.

Yeah I'd have to say that would annoy me too, cell phone drivers are annoying and dangerious all at the same time. Think it should be illegal to be on yourcell while driving, now if you have it on speaker or have a hands free kind of thing like the bluetooth that would be fine but otherwise it is wrong.

Well I get annoyed by my husband a lot. Little things he does or doesn't do annoy me. People who smoke and do not take responsibility for others that do not smoke. People in fast cars who do not stop for you even though they could have slowed down they have to beat you to it.

Regarding little things which annoy most me is my husband's untidyness. He doesn't bother to keep things on the place where he has picked them. I need to tell him all the times. He just don't bother to listen me anytime. He overhears what I tell him . This is the thing which annoys me most.

It's when I'm looking for a thing, and I was told it's in here or there, and when I go check it, the thing I'm looking for was not where I was told it should be. I really get annoyed at that. And I always tell the person, "you say it best, when you say nothing at all."

I can't stand to have someone touch me when I eat, stand to close to me, look at me funny, ask me about my weight, talk right into face at one foot away, speak right into my ear, cut me off when I'm driving, and that's just to name a few.
I hate when my children don't believe what I am telling them, I don't like it when someone compares themselves to me, and I despise it when a person says, "why are you acting like a psyco?"

Generally I am not one who is easily annoyed especially when things happen on me. I am fed up with the internet connection getting into a fit when I needed it, the screen goes blank when I am expected something colorful. These are considered big things that super annoyed me. I consider little things like other people's bad habits which I find disgusting. Examples are digging the nose, clearing the throat and talking loudly. I am especially annoyed at adults who try to act cute whenever they are talking or giving a speech.
