I have a problem with patience, I don't have enough of it. Whenever I'm around other people they are very annoying.
Literally 99% of the people I know annoy me. I need some way not to be annoyed by these characters; or a way to deal with it.

surely 99% of the people can't be annoying so you guessed it you're the one who has a problem.
without knowing you, I have to say that you are either a very busy person, a highly stressed person and/or too full of yourself to find anyone remotely interesting.
start by creating a genuine interest in people in general, play a little game with yourself and decide that you will find XXX (whatever amuses you) in everyperson you meet and pay a penalty if you don't succeed. This will force you to listen to them and to ask questions, in no time you will find that they ( even the pests) have something to offer.

Annoying people are actually helping you to be more patient. Every time you resist the urge to strangle one of them, you have climbed a rung on the ladder of patience. Every time you bite through your tongue instead of telling one of these people where to go and how to get there, you have again climbed a rung on that ladder. So see, these annoying people are actually tools to help you improve. You can use them to your advantage. They can make you a better person. Now you feel less annoyed, right?
P.S. We all have had perfectly good days that were interrupted by some moron who can't drive, can't shut up or can't bathe. It's part of being human.

I am not sure as I get annoyed by people easily too.
Funny I work with special ed kids and have all the patience in the world but with "people" I get annoyed.
Honestly I spend a lot of time alone and ignore alot of people.
I tolerate people alot because I have to (family)
But have few close friends, but this is by choice. I even get annoyed with friends and I have to tell them to go away.
Luckily the friends I do have understand me well enough to know that I am not trying to be mean, I am just overwhelmed.
I think thats what it is. I get overwhelmed/overstimulated easily. I have explained this too them and they seem to get it...maybe thats why they are my friends. Others who dont get it well that annoys me more!!
So maybe you just need to have a few close friends and explain to them that there are going to be days you dont want anything to do with them. Others just bite your tounge and tolerate them.

99% of the people annoy you ?
woah! in that case I think you need to find somewhere and a job where you can work on your own ...
I wonder if you annoy them as much as they annoy you ( not trying to be smart genuine wonder there)...
I am only annoyed by 1% of people around me .. and i basically ignore them .. I don't care if they are family or not ... especially when the other 99% are so great ... who needs that 1%

The problem here are not the people, it is you who has a problem - it is called anti-social. This is a common personality trait and therefore there are many self help book that you can read to help yourself. You cannot change people, but you can change how you view them so that life is much more enjoyable for you. Life is great and people are basically good.
I have no doubt that what I said to you is ANNOYING in your mind but that is okey, because it is true.

annoying people really get into your nerves that most of the time you want to face them and clear things with them. but i find it most of the time, simply a waste of time. most effective way to deal with them is to better keep your distance and never say a word. your silence will make them think twice next time.

do not decrease your self to their point. Use trickery to place them interior the nice and snug seat, in all danger by having them to do some thing that somebody in authority will hear or see. or possibly befriend somebody who isn't as compassionate as your self, to place the guy interior a similar undertaking you're in. Fools are their very own worse enemy.

The polite thing, or the thing that most adults do:
(1) If they're physically doing something irritating, ignore it. Pretend it's not happening and file it away in your mind to tell all your friends later.
(2) If they're talking to you, put a smile on your face, try to blank your mind or think of neutral thoughts to stop the irritation from making you angry. Then either (a) agree with them and try to excuse yourself as soon as possible, or (b) say something to the effect of, "I understand your point of view, and I appreciate it, thank you," and excuse yourself as soon as possible.
The biggest thing is to get yourself away from that person and avoid them as much as possible.

Find a counselor, who can help you work on the issues that are making you so irritated. I hope you figure it out.
