This question should be a good exercise for me to get some things off my chest. Since you asked here goes:
The leadership of my city is driving me crazy. They lack vision and are willing to compromise our future. People who are easily swayed by being thrown a bone when if we worked together we could have it all really annoys me. Everybody being so caught up in their narrow little needs drives me crazy. The fact that there are so many REAL problems in our community that get swept under the rug because leadership is afraid if you bring out the "bad" issues it will effect tourism and economic investment too much. Issues like affordable transportation, lack of childcare, juvenile crime, school dropout rate, drugs in schools, are all ignored with ease while we plan a convention center. Can't anyone see how much better our lives could be if we weren't afraid of the hard issues? More people are falling through the cracks in the system because the cracks are becoming canyons. I am annoyed because so many people spend so much time debating the "National" issues that they forget to deal with the local issues in their own home town. That is where we can really have some impact. I am annoyed that the teach to the test method is increasing pressure on younger students in school, yet we are cutting recess time and removing the arts from elementary schools. As a society we seem to be in a rush to end childhood as fast as we can so we can turn them into customers. Everywhere you look there are signs that the kids are cracking under the pressure. They are dressed in black. They are cutting themselves. They are picking up drugs and guns. They are desperately trying to escape the pressure, but we just keep tightening the vise. The whole of society seems to be breaking into warring fragments whose arguments on all sides grow so shrill no one can take pride in any stand. It is time for a new movement in our land. Maybe it shouldn't be called a movement at all because what I am calling for is stillness. Just think what would happen if EVERY citizen took an hour everyday to do nothing. No spending or selling. No arguing. Just sit down and shut up. Let's pick an hour, say 2:00 pm every day. Just a few of us will start but it will grow. Together we can change the whole world if we just stop. Let us all sit and think for an hour. Surely the rest of the day would be improved. After a few days our lives would improve, then our homes, then our cities, and the result of all this quiet thinking would ripple into our world politics. What do you think? Will you join me? Thanks for the question. I feel better already.

Da HEAT is freakin annoying!!! Argh!!!! Everyone in the neighborhood is great. Nobody is annoying here. The city is cool.. the laws are cool. I can't compain.
The most annoying thing about my partner is that he can't read my mind.
Living with my family is great, as well. Nothing too dramatic on the front, anyways. Every day is so new with a 1 yr old. He's growing and getting smarter every day. It's like a new adventure!
I'm sure I have TONS of annoying habits. There are two people at work that go on and on between each other talking about my annoying habits. They have a "list", apparently. I say Bring It. I'm sure I'd agree with most of what is on their sacred list. Unfortunately for them, though, it isn't anything can get me fired. I always try and do a good job and keep myself from being idle.
Depending upon your mood... I'm sure that anything and everything can be annoying. You just have to concentrate on those days that nothing annoys you, and try to be like THAT every day... obviously, something went well that day! :)

I am 16 year old waiting for his GCSE test results, I know I did crap, Just really scared, Soon going to college, The area I live in is alright, no racism, no prejudice in any areas, although you do get the odd drunks, who can't sing at all. The country UK whooo!
I live in, as you know is in a heightened state of security.
The annoying thing about my family is that I am not allowed to go out with any of my friends, I have no freedom. I am board, 6 weeks of nothing to do, except to stay inside and do nothing.

Nothing annoys me about the place I live, but it is who lives with me. I have a 35 year old daughter and her 3 daughters living with my husband and I. I love them to death, but I would like my home back to do with it as I please. The only thing that annoys me about my husband, is that he does not listen when I talk. He hears me, but does not compute what I am saying. I have a bad habit of being kind of a perfectionist and bitching too much.

the fact that i have been judged so many times by people for being born in this country for sins not commited by my family or ancestors. its so annoying to find people relate to you negatively because of what they have heard about your country from foreign media.
about my lovely and highly adored wife (partner), i have not found a fault or anything annoying. if you wait on the Lord and allow him to help in choosing your partner, you'll find that in your parner you will find no fault.

i rent instead of own and cant afford to buy. i am messy. my cats cant hold a conversation for more than 30 seconds at a time and play a lousy game of crib. my apartment is at a physically convenient location in the city but off a busy intersection so there is a lot of noise, sirens, drunken idiotic teenagers on the weekends,.
i am a moody person at times and it drives people nuts because they think i am mad at them.
