A total pet peeve of mine is the use of “that” where it should be “who”.
One of the people that…
[name] is someone that…

Things that stress me out in movies or TV: when someone slaps their computer shut without turning it off. #irksome #movies #TV #annoying

It's a static harmony. Again. Think you'll swim out into your selective?
Nothing moving as you get up to try. Just #irksome needles at the end of groove.

My employer requires that all reports be written using the Excel spreadsheet program.
I have no words to express how irksome I find this.

Racy and David were escorted back to her ship, Never Back Down.
They attached a black box to a service port, however, it hummed only for a moment & then emitted a cloud of smoke.
The officer scowled. "How #irksome."
Racy laughed nervously. "Perhaps N.B.D.'s a little overdue for a service."

Don't you find it #irksome to live in a so-called haunted house?
Oh yes! Some days, the tourists rubbernecking from the street really annoy me.
Yes, indeed, the fools! I'm glad to hear you agree that all the phenomena have rational explanations.
Hmm, not sure the ghosts would agree . . .

“How #irksome,” the wizard muttered, lighting his pipe. “I’m supposed to be retired.”
“You’re smiling, Old Man,” observed the thief, poking at his whiskers.
He laughed, swinging his staff half-heartedly at the lass. “Well, maybe it’s time for one more adventure.”

From the #vss365.... this is a band my wife finds #irksome when I play their songs. This is Rumpus Room by Xiu Xiu. Is it actually irksome?

Not gonna lie. Initially wrote this to be a #vss365 and #vssGhostTales combo. Hadn't checked the #vss365 prompt in a few hours and was thinking to myself "Intrepid... ghost... intrepid... ghost... how can I combine those...? Got it!"
Came to write the story. Wrong vss365 prompt! How #irksome...

‘Suitcase? You didn’t have a suitcase.’
‘I did. I put it by … oh.’
‘Told you. Now, I’ll get you that wine.’
‘I said brandy.’
‘Nope. You said red wine.’
‘Sir, you are clearly gaslighting me & I’m finding it a trifle #irksome.’
‘Trifle? I’ll check the fridge.’

The Krampus Queen, a horned goat headed creature with white skin/fur, looks annoyed as she sits in a green velvet chair with gold arms.
"One #irksome #diktat after another from Nikolaus keeps him out later and later on Krampusnacht. Might as well be Krampuswoche if the list of bad behavior continues to #grow.
He must out #fox that elf."

This thing -
an #irksome quirk
a quavering quark
and yet, quintessence
like neurons firing
in the face of recognition
in the face of my reflection

Hot tears. Whimpering and simpering. In the park. In the rain. I mean, really? It was especially #irksome. As if any of that mattered. So naive. As if love was a puppy and she couldn’t keep it. Not one of my more memorable breakup scenes, no. But, yeah…whatever.

the dark side of lust
feeling #irksome
driven mad with it
when you can't have them
the subject of desire
the treat in your reverie
that moment
when thoughts are no longer enough

Life can get #irksome:
groceries, taxes, and bills
why can't I just write?!

Roger had the #irksome habit of arguing until he won. If Sara disagreed, he did research and kept at her until she gave in. He called this process "spirited debate".
When Sara told him she was leaving, he argued she should stay.
This was one argument he couldn't win.

"Your insistence on staying alive is become quite #irksome."
"Well, your insistence on trying to kill me has already become quite irksome."
"Ooh. A cutting rejoinder. How droll."

“Mia said her nightmares were back,” Ari dropped her voice.
“Tom’s not just an #irksome jerk,” said Jin. “I suggested something.” He indicated Mia was returning.
“Lunch,” said Ari breezily. “It’s only soup.”
“Ari’s soup,” said Mia & Jin.
“Soul food & he knows,” said Mia. #vss365

I fight to let go of the question. That turned #irksome fast. "What the hell?" I growl. "It was only wood and magic." Changlings are fashioned from saplings; Pinocchio, but not a real boy. Fit or not, he'd just been a glamoured tree, even if he'd still bled red. #7DayTale #vss365

She floats through
A necessary memory
An irksome ghost
Half seen
Fully felt
A lingering reminder
Of the time
I should never forget
When I'd stopped breathing
But thought myself alive

EVER GET THE FEELING YOU'VE BEEN CHEATED???
Celebrities dancing through a jungle,
#irksome Chess pieces
of the state.
We pay good money
to have them evicted.
We pay good money
to put them in that place.

'...chance of #hail tomorrow.'
'Hail! I can't have that, I need to drive to the airport in the morning. Can you change it to Thursday?'
'Now, moving on to the long-term forecast, a warmer air mass...'
'That's right, ignore me, you #irksome little man.'
