Disclaimer: 
"Annoying people" is a common Internet joke. The author of this blog does not endorse annoying people nor does she purposely try to annoy people. What the author does think is funny is reading and sharing the list with others to demonstrate the ridiculousness of said activity. 
()♫♪
While the above list might annoy some people, none of these things annoy the author of this blog. 
What does annoy the author of this blog is when the BLOGGER faulty programming takes out all the spacing I include in my posts and crams it all together when I post it, causing me to have to insert blank pictures to give the semblance of proper spacing. 
Now, that's annoying!
