Top 10 Most Annoying Things

Things that happen that can put a black cloud over your head.

The Top Ten

Mosquitoes

The word "mosquito" comes from Spanish and means "little fly." Mosquitoes are small flying insects known for transmitting numerous infectious diseases. These include malaria, yellow fever, chikungunya, West Nile virus, dengue fever, filariasis, and Zika virus, making them one of the deadliest animal... read more

I genuinely hate when it's a beautiful day, the sun is shining, the sky is clear as can be, but no matter what, there's always a mosquito buzzing in your ear just to ruin the moment.

Why were bugs even created in the first place? All they do is bite people, sting them, annoy them, and scare little kids! The only animals necessary to the universe are humans, dogs, bunnies, horses, small birds, and maybe cows. I don't even care much for honey, so bees could just vanish and I wouldn't care.
Their lives are useless and miserable. They have wings, yet they can barely carry their stupid fat bodies around! Plus, if they sting someone, they die. How hard is it not to hurt or harm someone who isn't bothering you?
Slow internet connections

Hahaha! OMG, it's so annoying. Let's say I want to watch a YouTube video titled "Groovy Girl Dolls With Leila and Paloma Meet Amelina." When I click on that video, the loading circle will just sit there and spin. Then I go, "Ugh! The internet is being slow," and shut down my computer and turn it on again, which usually helps.

Sometimes the super old devices and consoles get worn out as more time passes. I don't understand that.
I mean, some things never get worn out, but the internet is just getting more wonky and old. Computers back then were not that great, but probably didn't get as worn out. I don't get it.
Bullies

THIS IS IMPORTANT. Bullies don't bully for no reason. Do you children honestly think that there are humans who are just born with an instinct to ruin other people's lives? They're not doing it just to make themselves "feel big," which is what most adults tell children because they don't think kids can understand a concept any deeper than that.
Bullies are probably struggling too. Don't be stereotypical and make assumptions. They could be broken. They could be dying. And talking negatively about them is going to help them get out of a suicidal state they could be in?
Don't say bad things about them. Help bullies. If you don't help them, then who are you to talk about how bad they are?
People who smoke around others

I know a lot of people who smoke, and I genuinely hate when they decide to smoke while they're talking to me. It's your choice to destroy your lungs. Just don't drag me into it.

One time, when I was at an outdoor concert, so many people around us smoked constantly. I swear each person smoked five cigarettes during the concert.
Could they really not go somewhere else instead of doing it around hundreds of people? I wanted to leave early because of it. I just wanted to go slap those cigarettes right out of their hands and throw them in a dumpster, along with their entire pack.
People who smoke are inconsiderate, and I'm sure they all know the consequences of it.
Screaming babies

My baby cousin has the most annoying cry in the entire universe. Listening to him cry is like having lava poured into your ear while your ear has a papercut. You don't even want to know what it sounds like. It's the most fury-inducing sound you could ever hear. I try to be a cool kid, but I absolutely can't tolerate his infuriating crying.
Also, he screeches at a volume of about 157 decibels when you least expect it. Earlier, he puked on his shirt, and then his dad took it off to change it. He then went completely crazy and ran up to his dad, screaming as if he was getting brutally impaled. I am autistic and sensitive to sudden and unexpected loud and high-frequency sounds, so I often feel uncomfortable around him.
Justin Bieber

Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada, and is Christian. He is the son of Pattie Mallette, an author.
Justin Bieber is best known for his songs "Baby" and "What Do You Mean?" As of mid 2025, 11 of... read more

It's not necessarily his voice I find annoying, but him as a person. He thinks he's the best and bashes everything he sees without any reason. It's always "I hate this," "Forget that."
He ends his shows (which, for your information, are not easy to get tickets for) just because he gets lightly touched by a water bottle. Yes, I'm aware that this was about five years ago now, but it's not the only time he has left a concert early.
Meanwhile, other artists have performed even after breaking something, and that wasn't considered a good enough reason for them to cancel their shows. Some of those artists are the same people he has criticized without reason.
Those are just a couple of reasons. If I were to name them all, this would be a very long comment.
People who walk slowly in front of you

People who walk slowly in front of others are inconsiderate and rude. I may not be the fastest walker myself, but I'd like to have the option of walking fast if I feel like it or if I'm running late. Slow walkers should consider moving to the side so that others who are actually trying to get somewhere can pass.
Additionally, these slow walkers often travel in groups, walking next to each other and taking up the entire width of the hallway. This makes it impossible for anyone to walk past them. This behavior is commonly observed in schools. Just because they're not in a rush to get to class - usually because they don't care - doesn't mean that no one else is concerned about getting to class on time.
It's also extremely irritating when these people stop and stand in the doorway of a room you're trying to enter or exit.
Advertisements

I hope someday when they give out advertisements, they can put an automatic skip button or a button that lets you choose whether you want to play the advertisements or not. The button should also tell you what the ads are about.
I can hardly enjoy Happy Wheels when the ads pop up. Some ads are interesting, while most of them are not.

When I play solitaire, I see ads for games I would never play.
When I watch YouTube, I have to sit through boring videos called advertisements. When I listen to music on the radio, roughly 50% of what I hear is advertisements.
Especially because I am still a student, ads are boring and tedious to watch and listen to. Finally, when I play a game, the same ads always appear!
Racists

Now this... this is just extremely annoying. It really, really is. I can understand that this isn't a view that everyone agrees with, but honestly, I don't really care.
First off, why should it matter what color we are? Our insides are all modeled the same, except for people who have something removed or missing, but that's a bit complicated. Our bodies are mostly the same, so the same logic still applies.
Basically, we're all humans. We're all pretty ugly anyway (the ugly part was a joke), so why should race have to do with anything?

I think I might have an idea. It's going to be controversial, but from now on, instead of seeing any exterior skin color, I'm only going to see clear. I want to make it easier to look at a person from the inside and not the outside.
This approach also shows that race does not matter. No one race is superior to another. That's why I'm calling this idea the Clear Code, to demonstrate that racism is a horrible thing. We should accept each other based on personality and not skin color.
School

This is the time of your life where you go to school, make friends, and learn. It's all fun and games until a certain grade (usually high school), where everything goes downhill. Learning isn't a bad concept, but it's like salt: if there's not enough, it doesn't do anything. But too much mentally drains kids.
In some countries, it's too much. There shouldn't even be homework because you've already been at school for 6 to 7 hours. School isn't really as focused on learning as it is on mentally draining kids and piling on responsibilities when all they want to do is have fun.
There's a difference between not putting pressure on a kid and flat-out crushing their dreams. However, there are still some good things about school, like making new friends and the last day of the term when you can watch movies in class.

The Newcomers

?
Loud dryers in bathrooms

The bathroom at mcdonalds in gander was SOOO LOUD that I did not want to use it because how loud it was.
?
Squirrels

Squirrels are members of the family Sciuridae, which includes small to medium-sized rodents. This family includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, flying squirrels, and prairie dogs. Squirrels are known for their bushy tails, agility, and food-hoarding behavior.

These suckers are obsessed with chewing up bird feeders and roofs.

The Contenders

Terrorists

You can use mosquito repellent. You can stop listening to Justin Bieber. You can even report bullying, as difficult as that may be. However, none of these issues compare to the impossibility of ever being completely safe from terrorists.
One day, you could be annoyed by some kid listening to Justin Bieber, and then a terrorist could appear, abduct you, and subject you to torture before killing you for their own twisted enjoyment. They might also harm your family, your friends, or even strangers around you.
If you think Justin Bieber is worse than that, then your priorities are seriously misplaced.

This should include all forms of behavior that make other people's lives hard or harder. Any form of behavior that prevents other people from enjoying their lives. Any form of behavior that makes other people feel unsafe, causes difficulty, or introduces unwanted, unneeded, unnecessary distractions from going about their own lives.
Rap music

To be perfectly honest, I hate modern rap. I'm 15, so don't mistake me for some old dude who's never heard rap before. I've heard plenty, more than I think I've ever wanted to hear, to be honest. It's just bad.
The lyrics are usually questionable at best. I don't know how parents let their kids listen to stuff like this. While I know that there's rap out there about good things, even just the music itself gets on my nerves.
In my opinion, the chemistry of bands from the '50s to the '90s will forever be better than any music made by a guy singing in a monotone voice to a computer-generated beat that, in most cases, has been used by at least 20 other people.
Insomnia

I'd say I usually take about two hours to fall asleep. If I'm lucky, I'll fall asleep in about an hour, but that's very rare. My sister is pretty needy and quite a wimp for her age. She insists on my mother sitting in her room with her until she falls asleep because she's scared by herself.
Last night, I was pretty tired and almost fell asleep. However, my mother didn't stay in my sister's room that night. So my younger sister was alone, got scared, and ran into my room to bother me for about half an hour. Eventually, she asked if she could sleep in my room that night. I felt rude saying no, so I let her. I couldn't fall asleep for another two hours after that.
Politics

Relationships are torn apart by festering hatred on both sides. We need to put aside our differences and remember what is important: loving one another and laughing. Laughing at what a joke politics have become. I mean, what's the point of getting so worked up about what party someone belongs to?
I hope that no matter what you believe, you have a fantastic day. God bless you.

Eating a sandwich, a guy who worked hard to get where he is, or yelling an uplifting "YEAH" is considered bad. Meanwhile, a guy who's caught with hookers, an idiot who doesn't know what he's doing because he's just an architect, and a possible terrorist who had relations with a former president are considered good.
Not to mention that politics are insanely boring, and the good guys often get shafted.
Dumb questions

Ugh, I hate these types of people. In year 6, (in French, like 7 years ago) I knew the answer to every single question the teacher asked me. She only answered me twice, even though there were about 40 questions she asked. There was a boy who always asked dumb questions like "What do we write?" right after the teacher had just told him.
When she was asking questions, I put my hand up, but she kept on asking him the questions. I was really angry about this. The boy got the French certificate and I was so angry I couldn't hold it anymore. I felt I deserved it more. I get that all the time but I get used to it. The French teacher gave random people the French certificate anyway.
Homework

Do you know why homework was invented? The guy who invented it, Roberto Nevelis, said that homework was created to punish his students for misbehaving in class. If it was designed as a punishment, then why are teachers giving homework to innocent kids? Why not give it only to the misbehaving ones? This is so unfair.
I hope that Nevelis would be disappointed seeing what teachers are doing with homework nowadays.

Homework constitutes only 10% of my grade, and because of it, I haven't been able to study for tests or get enough sleep. I feel like such a failure.
What's the point of it? I read an article about a school in New York that didn't give students homework, and the teachers saw no drop in their students' academic performance. Homework is really unnecessary.
War

War is really upsetting, annoying, and also very useless. Millions of people die for no reason. I wish people had some natural predator. The millions that die are usually the strong, brave ones, while the weak, obese people sit in their homes eating chips and watching dumb movies.
If there were, for example, some species of colossal creature, it could eat the obese, slow, stupid ones and cull them off through natural selection. Sorry for the grotesque images this might promote in your mind. But then the creature would eat the people because it wants to eat. The wars people make are just because of huge debts or something. (Sorry, I'm not a politician or anything.)
We kill billions of cows. We clutter the Earth. Approximately 7 billion people live nowadays. That's around 5 chickens for each human. Quite a few people, no?
Being sick

Having a stomach bug is the worst. You've probably had it before, and it is awful.
It starts off with feeling sick in your throat. I asked my dad if I looked okay, and he said, You look fine. It was nighttime, and it was my nanny's 63rd birthday. When my dad left, I was thinking about where to be sick.
I thought of being sick in my bed, and surprisingly, it happened. I was crying because I don't like being sick, so my mother took me to the toilet to puke. My mother had to strip the bed because I threw up in it. After six pukes, she had to clean it up and give me a bath.
Then I went into the living room and had an hour of sleep. But suddenly, I puked again. Minutes passed, and I started feeling better. I felt good the next day, on Wednesday. It was normal.
On the day after that, my mom got sick. She vomited three times. I made her a get-well card by the end.
Stupid people

I was near the end of 5th grade. We were working in math class when this girl, Gabby, interrupted my peace while I was working. She had a helper, and she asked me for help!
The question was, "How do you multiply? I'm having trouble with my 2's tables." We learned that in 2nd grade, and she never listens to the teacher!

There's a classmate in my class who I find irritating. He's constantly brown-nosing the teacher and doing something else when we're working on a Nearpod or similar activities.
He tries to sound smart by making excuses. I don't want to listen to his uninformed remarks, and I find it hard to ignore what he says.
Acne

This is so annoying. It disfigures your face, hurts, and gets infected. It's also really noticeable. It's like, "Congrats, you're going through puberty, but that's not all. We have to give you some swelling red dots that hurt and make you look ugly too! Hooray!"
There is actually no point to acne, though. Other supposedly annoying things like school, rap, ads, periods, and mosquitoes do have some benefits, whereas there is no point to acne.

I would say acne is annoying, but at least you can sometimes get rid of it. Strawberry pores are worse, even if most people probably disagree with that.
Email spam

It can't be stopped, even though you unsubscribe and complain about it. Heck, even the annoying kid in your class would stop talking before email spam stops.
None of it is useful, and they can make you lose basically all of your money. And why in the world is there always a dating site email? It's a scam! It's just perverted, and I don't want this nonsense!
Maybe if we just ignore it, these spammers and scammers will stop and actually do something useful with computers, like researching the cure for cancer or creating software that fights all viruses.

I just hate them so much. They always take everyone's valuable time, and many of them aren't useful.
Babies crying in public places

If you hate crying babies, you'll despise the Orlando airport in Florida. You can't go two seconds without hearing a screaming baby there. I've been there once, and it was torture.
I couldn't go five nanoseconds without hearing a screaming baby. They were all piercingly loud too! I was miserable the whole time.

I will admit that it's annoying, especially on an airplane. However, what makes me want to scream louder than babies in public places are the abusive comments I've read. You guys really need to chill.
These babies have no vocabulary. Remember, you were babies once, and people were probably just as annoyed with you when you screamed as a toddler.
Attention seekers

I hate these people. There's a girl in my school who just got a cat sticker of a beautiful cat hanging onto a tree and claimed that she drew it. My BFF and I talked about it during snack time, and that girl was still telling people she drew the cat sticker. Everyone admired her art.
While my BFF and I were explaining the truth, she said she literally had that sticker. When I tried to ask her to make another one, she just went on and on about some nonsense, claiming that the cat was real and that creating another would hurt her.

The girls in my grade often say things like, "I'm so ugly. Look how fat I am. My writing sucks, and I'm so stupid. I'm such a tard." Then, when I express similar insecurities about myself, they reply, "No, you're not fat! You're not ugly!"
How fake of them to say that. Sometimes I say things like that just to catch them in their lies.
Getting in a slow line at the bank/supermarket etc..

This is why I love self-serve tills. Less standing behind someone nattering on a mobile while being served at a checkout. In a slow line, I feel like yelling "COME ON ALREADY!"

On Fridays, I've always got to make sure that I get to the lunch line early. On Fridays, the lunch lines are always an ocean long.

I always pick the wrong line! Then I just see the other lines move and we stand there.
Fox news

Fox News Channel is an American basic cable and satellite news television channel owned by Fox News Media, a division of Fox Corporation. It was launched in 1996 and has since become one of the most widely watched news networks in the United States. The channel covers a variety of topics including politics... read more

I'm sick of Fox News watchers saying CNN is worse. Yeah, CNN is biased, but that's like saying I can watch crazy conspiracy theorist news because there is even crazier conspiracy theorist news. The logic makes no sense.

I got news for you, Fox: You can't ask a random conservative off the street what they think of Hillary Clinton and tell the world how crooked she is.

If you want opinion over fact, or want to watch idiots say hilariously uninformed mumbo-jumbo, this is your channel!
