We are all surrounded by annoying people. See how many of those you know:
1. Manipulative smart alecks: Some people make such excellent manipulators. They twist and turn things to push their own agenda. They manipulate to get every possible benefit out of you. It is quite typical of them to twist things and even make you look like the bad guy. If you don't realize and do something about it, the manipulator will see you as an easy target.
2. Shameless borrowers: Some borrowers really go over-board and make it a habit and don't know when to stop. Once it starts, it is pretty difficult to break the cycle. Someone who is in a habit of borrowing will almost always seek your things and probably assume that they have some sort of right on your belongings. We all like to help but the daily borrowing is seriously annoying.
3. Serial callers: Unless and until there's something urgent, people should refrain from making back-to-back calls. Some people assume that others should be free to take their calls right when they call or when THEY (caller) are free. They would go an extra mile to annoy you by calling up on all the phone numbers they know. They also fail to understand that someone who isn't taking the first one is probably busy or not even near the phone. Back-to-back calls doesn't help but only makes the caller lose the credibility and God forbid, if something actually goes wrong, their calls would be taken lightly.
4. Unsolicited advisers: Some people like to give advice, whether you want any or don't and whether they know anything or don't. They itch to give advice.
5. Touchy feelies: 'Sensory defensiveness' is a condition where an individual reacts to sensory input. Most individuals have mild sensory defensive traits. It is probably best not to get touchy especially when you don't know someone that well. It's annoying how some women like to touch the face of other women to feel their skin. Men should definitely refrain from getting touchy with women they barely know or during the first few dates. It speaks of desperation and is a complete turn-off.
6. Prophets of doom (pessimists): Some people reek of negativity. You will never hear them talking anything positive about anyone. If you ever tell them any of your plans, they would come up with something negative at the drop of a hat. It's like they just can't see anything positive in anything. There's absolutely nothing wrong with what you do, other than the fact that your company sucks. The problem lies with these downers, who are simply unhappy with their own lives or immensely jealous of your life. Remember if you hear only negative things, you will be become skeptical about everything and that's a horrible way to live. Surround yourself with positive people and maintain your distance with the pessimists.

7. Selfish douchebags: A selfish person is only concerned about his own profit, interest or pleasure. He has least consideration for others. He wouldn't do a thing, forget about going an extra mile. A selfish person drains out others completely. It's best to maintain your distance rather than getting letting yourself get used.
8. Hypocrite nutcases:
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE said:
"O, what may man within him hide,
Though angel on the outward side!"
The dictionary defines a hypocrite as a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.
Some people practise very little of what they preach. Probably they are too ashamed of their real selves that they prefer to cover it up with a lot of bullshit. Changing their wicked actions or letting go of the guise would actually do them some good. Hypocrites are my biggest source of entertainment. It's funny to see how brazenly they portray what they're actually not. It gets difficult to figure out which side of the face (of the two-faced people) to slap first!
9. Compulsive liars (pathological liars): Most people lie to an acceptable degree. We tend to lie to our bosses for leave, lie to friends if we are running late, etc. But a compulsive liar will lie for just about anything and everything. He finds solace in lying and lying becomes his second nature, his way of life. Liars would have different versions of the same story. Pathological liars don't see it that way. It is a personality disorder which needs to be addressed through therapy.
10. Promise breakers: Promises are easy to make, difficult to keep! I find it quite difficult to fathom how difficult keeping a promise can be. Of course, there can always be genuine reasons for not being able to keep promises. But some people are plain shameless and not worth their salt. They eventually lose their credibility.
