After posting a couple of illustrations on "How to be annoying" to our social networks, people around the world started sending in their own ideas for us to illustrate.
So we decided to make a official guide, just in case you might want to annoy someone. Here are our top 40.
We're the artists behind the creative studio Last Lemon. You can also check out our previous work, where we explained how to be a cat and how to be a dog.

I don't know why this didn't score higher? This is a huge pet-peeve of mine!
Hate! It is like someone scratching a chalkboard with their fingernails!
the height of inconsideration to speak loudly when it is not neccessary and to subject other people to your environmental noise pollution
one of the reasons I prefer to drive - however I have no trouble in requesting the person to remove their bag.
I spelt one of my cousins name the wrong way for years. I know it now, but I always felt bad about it, especially since she never pointed it out. People are always wanting to misspell my name or add extra letters, thinking it's short for a different name. VERY annoying.
Airports do not stop you from bring your own food. They stop you from bringing water or liquids on a plane. Plus you can buy food in terminals and take it on a plane. The main restriction is flying internationally and taking certain foods (that are biosecurity risks) off a plane.

This would p**s me off, especially if it actually stank in a really bad way.
Or the office. People do this at my work and then throw the stuff in the trash so the whole place smells nasty all day.
I brought sushi into school once. smelt of rice, salmon, pro=awns and seweed all day. and no-one noticed

Like because people can bring food on planes, we've been conditioned to think we should or we need to. I'm like "Jesus, it's just a couple of hours. Surely, you can eat before the flight and just eat a snack or two on the plane" - kind of like going to the toilet. I mean, it's not a long-haul international flight or anything.
Would have made more sense if they put bus instead of plane that is one of mine
Same here. Interesting. Different experiences - different perceptions.

This used to p**s me off all the time. Even when I was a kid, my little brother would leave it off and I would end up in trouble for it. Then I just got used to putting it up after him. He's 41 now and I'm 46. I hope for his sake that he doesn't still do this. I kind of doubt it, his wife would probably kick his a*s. lmao
Sometimes you have to when the person you are talking to doesn't listen properly. I get annoyed when people working behind customer service counters and reception desks are spending ages on a phone to a customer repeating themselves because presumably the customer is asking the same questions again.
It has to be done, otherwise they will go around for the rest of their lives saying things wrong. I would rather someone told me than not.
My spouse emails people at the dinner table, so now I put empty cereal boxes so that I can't see him, like my brothers and I did when we were young. lol
My manager keeps scratching his back on the door frame when he comes to talk to me! I told him I will buy him a scratch stick!
I love getting text with just “hey" nothing else you really need to give me more, like a reason you texted. I.e. “hey are you busy tonight?" Now we have a base to our conversation step brother back when texting was $0.25 a text would spend that quarter on just hey..... it's the worst
Yep, and when you answer with "hi there, how are you" and they never respond. That's annoying.

I hate , despise, cannot stand the sound of someone eating sunflower seeds and spitting the shells into a cup, or just spitting them period. Also people who dont use napkins, EVER! my ex would conveniently sit on my side of the bed and eat Doritos and wipe his orange fingers on the sheets and/or duvet, depending on what time of day or night it was. Even if I gave him one he wouldn't use it!
Oh, my, that's gross. My boyfriend uses wet tissue or just washes his hands after such snack.... So do I, but I rarely east such kind of snack.

Basically, you're intolerant... you don't like people being people. Ugh
Thought this was meant to tell me how to be annoying, not what I already do! XD
One more thing to add to the list. "When walking your dog on the bicycle road, each time you spot someone else walking their dog too, make sure your dogs meet in the middle of the road and while still on their leash." Now, that's not only f***ing annoying, it's also b*ody dangerous! >_<
