Most often, when we are annoyed by others it says more about US than it does about the people who are annoying us.

We become annoyed when we have expectations about others and they do not meet those expectations. If I expect my 3 year old child to be quiet, courteous and respectful, no doubt, I will be annoyed when he or she is incapable of meeting those severe demands. Children are noisy, spontaneous and gloriously direct; they say what they're thinking without any social filtering.

The same may be true for people with whom you associate.

If a person has ADHD, he/she may be incapable of what we may consider to be "normal restraint". We may mis-interpret that and assume that the person is acting in an annoying way because he/she just doesn't like us or deliberately wants to annoy us.

Or maybe, it's just "their way", of interacting, and YOU have unreasonable expectations.
