In a world full of trivial annoyances and a slow, steady drip of irritations, it can be hard to find a way to stand out. We can all be irritating without trying, but in very minor ways.

Always take at least two bags, and sit with your legs wide apart on the subway. Eating out?

Covering work, home life, relationships, birthdays, nights out, and plenty more, this hilarious guide will leave you well equipped to annoy anyone and everyone, no matter what the occasion.
